It was 220, and he spread it across the 4 Mishmure'cyas, and I did account for it, its there.
Nexus wrote that they could be seen on radar, beyond that he also described powerful engine glow, and, at the time of launch...and still currently, I have 5 CGT arrays watching the battle.
Nuclear explosion in space, means the only shockwave that actually occurs would be from the material from the ship/reactor that got vaporized, so the vast majority of the damage that occurs is thermal and radiation, which really doesnt do much in terms of damage when it has to go through shields first. And the ranges in space are a lot bigger, which also detracts from the power of a nuclear explosion in the relative sense. In atmosphere a huge bomb can go off and level things miles away...in space there is no shockwave per se, and so a structure in space would be unneffected except for some heat that makes it through the vacuum, and the heat transferred through radiation, and the radiation itself. The most damage would actually be from leftover hull fragments that pick up some decent velocity unless the explosion occurred right at or extremely near the shield boundary of whatever unfortunate thing gets in the way.
