The part about needing a level 9 silo full of IPMs to blast through a level 4 silo full of ABMs is a bit misleading. All you really need is 9 '''total''' levels of silo full of IPMs. That could be one lvl 9, 9 level 1s, or a 5 and two 2s. It doesn't matter, so long as you have at least 41 missiles. (Coincidentally, 9 level 1 silos is insignificantly more expensive than a single level 4 silo.) I just can't think of a good way to word it right now. Unless, of course, I'm completely misunderstanding how IPMs work, and you can't launch then from multiple planets. But that would be silly. --[[User:Rob|Rob]] 14:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

(deleted because it is untrue)(and because you cant have multiple missile silos on one planet)

You can in fact launch from multiple planets, but keep in mind you need a level 4 silo just to build them, so you can't have 9 level 1s (unless you're a masochist who wants to build silos then tear them down three levels after making missiles). That said, a level 4 silo on each planet you have filled with IBMs and you could get through a level 18 silo filled to the brim with ABMs. Then, I'm assuming that you both start rebuilding, but you'll have 9 more IBMs when the defender might be lucky to have 3

Launching IBMs from multiple planets at the same time

Is it possible to launch IBMs from multiple planets against 1 target simultaneously?

Yes. So somebody with a several less developed planets can totally destroy a highly developed defense by launching multiple attacks with IBM's.

Additional Rewording Necessary

(this isn't a problem because that was the assumption, we weren't assuming all possibilities, the section was merely stating the lowest level ABM missile silo and what level missile silo containing IBMs it could defeat if it contained the MAX ABMs.)
