Caveman, I'd double check you math.
BT space hexes are 18 km across and a sphere that size has a volume of ~24,4000 km. 100,000 projectiles isn't even going to come close to saturation.
You're confusing volume with area. What matters for scoring hits is the cross-sectional area, not the swept volume.
When the warhead detonates and scatters the projectiles, it will do so in the form of a cone which has been calibrated to have a frustum 18km in diameter at the target distance (the midpoint width of a space hex). The area of the cone's frustum, being a circle, is equal to pi times half the cone's width squared. That produces a circle whose area is ~255 million square meters. Divided by 100,000 projectile paths, that works out to ~2544 square meters per projectile. Taking the square root of that area gives an average separation of 50 meters between any two projectiles at the midpoint of the hex. I originally used a 17-kilometer hex as that figure was mentioned upthread, so my original separation was a bit tighter.
The amount of change in the spread of each projectile path through the entire hex will depend on the distance from the target at which the warhead is detonated, but it should be small enough that we can treat the projectile paths as approximately parallel (ie, an angle of separation of no more than a couple degrees between any two paths).
However, we can be pretty certain the fighter squadron is not spread exactly across the midpoint plane of the space hex, so its actual separation will be considerably less than 18km, and thus we can release the projectiles in a tighter cone, greatly reducing the separation between projectile paths and increasing the odds of scoring multiple hits.
Also, your math doesn't match FASA Fysics as the NAC class weapons already use nuclear charges to launch kinetic kill projectiles and their damage is capping out at 400 standard points of damage.
Source? I've never seen capital cannons mentioned as being anything besides chemical.
Edit: TacOps confirms this. The description does not mention anything about a nuclear charge, in fact from the way it reads I'm dead certain they're talking about
light gas guns.
