That's what I figured it might be at first when I went to double-check the stats, but that doesn't add up. Targeting the crew wouldn't make a macrocannon's shot do less damage, nor would it reduce power to the engines, nor would it strip half the ship's void shields. Also worth noting that, again, it does do physical damage on its own like a macrocannon, just not a lot.

I seriously that Durin would let us have something that would let us utterly curbstomp Daemons and Nids on the ground. Otherwise we'd just be orbitally bomb daemons before they reach our cities every time an invasion happens.

I would imagine that rotbart would have his own roll and that it would benefit from having it be exclusive....(assuming that durin will have it be influenced at all by non-exclusivity)
besides, we already know that they are going to spend lots of time with him, so if they are going to pass on traits at all, they would do it whether rotbart spends time with grandson or not.

Alright, I'll double check.
@Durin
1. Does choosing a "spend time with grandson" exclusively action give a better chance of success than a "spend time with Syr, Sigmund, and grandson" action, or do they have the same chance?
2. Does the "spend time with Syr, Sigmund, and grandson" action also have a chance for the boy's parents to pass on traits if the rolls are successful?

1. Same chance
2. Said chance is already there and there is ni5ing you can do to improve it

- To the left. No, not there, the other left.
I would just assume it's a gameplay abstraction and/or game balance decision, as other said before simply because some particular piece of tech/psychic power/whatever works one way on tabletop/PnP RPG/video game doesn't mean it works that way in fluff/EitD rules. And Durin often adjust things as well.
EDIT: Though now that I think a put it's possible that Psychic Cannon can weaken Void Shields since they are Immaterium-based technology.

Curbstomp or no it'd still be our most powerful and potent weapon. It's the only thing that can disrupt the tyranid Hive Mind and it's the only thing capable of reliably banishing an entire daemonship in a single hit. We shouldn't not get Psychic Cannons just because they won't be instawin weapons.

It's possible Graviton Weapons are phenomenally effective against Nids. Imagine if you could create Graviton Torpedos.

Thing is we can both do that with our free divination, in fact that's almost always what we do as the free divination is practically made for it.
Large influx of refugees is the perfect time for a group like the Alpha Legion to slip some unwanted surprises in.
Sure, best case scenario they'll be vetted and fine, medium case scenario they tie up valuable Inquisition time, worst case scenario we find that throwing together 50 billion people from vastly different cultures and demographics doesn't end well.

Fitting out?
In any case Muspelheim already builds things like this kitted out like Ramillies.

1. a minor favour, per shot. That much high grade wraithbone is not cheap
2. it would
1. quite a bit
2. no, they could build their own if they wanted one

It's also possible they're phenomenally worthless. Like, don't get me wrong, it's definitely something we should look into, but not before Psychic Cannons, which don't have the possibility of not being useful and are more effective against daemons.

I had been thinking that it'd been mentioned that a big limit on Musphelhiem's growth was their limited access to living and working space, with the implication that they needed to wait longer to build a platform then they did to poplulate it, leaving them with periods where they have to engage in population control.
So I thought someone else with shipyards and more raw materials could build the things, then trade them to Muspelheim. Probably not my best idea considering how much Advanced materials their defences must cost.
The final fitting out of the craft would involve final decisions on the content and shape of living spaces, and the addition of Musphelhiem exclusive technologies or prohibitively expensive defences, and would occur after delivery to their system.

Oh right.
Well not required, they already make their own, and they are massive things.

We're not going to be affecting their stats with a visit action except on a nat 100.

No Sigmund has plenty of stats that can be improved with a spend time with action. Same thing applies to him that applies to the Bug Queen if we ever spent time with her.

Given how rare it is for stats to improve on one of these rolls I would be surprised if it did.
This is spend time with, not teach.

Alright, so after the Durin said that the rune would be single shot, I went and looked for a similarly-sized energy weapon rather than something that shot projectiles. After a bit of searching, I found this.
A ground-capable Psychic Cannon is still of course preferable but given the fact that we're instead going with gravity weapons this is the best we'll be able to get in time.
Problem is that this hasn't been made into an Ordinatus, so I'm not sure if we can Munitorum Implement it, and might be too big for the rune too. Still, if everything's fine, it should be even better than a Nova Cannon for banishing an Exalted.

So how exactly do the nids assimilate new genetic information ?
Do they need to capture the samples and take it back to the morhership ?
Maybe we can try and disrupt that to mess with their adaptive abilities.

Presumably they need to take it to a mothership to get to a Norn Queen and do physical exchanges, yes. Otherwise it just wouldn't be viable to destroy everything within a light year of the hive fleet in the event of the Nids getting access to Avernite organisms, as the Eldar and Necrons would do. If the info could just be transmitted across the void, then all Tyranids would be able to have all of the same adaptations gained from fighting foes elsewhere.
