Raises more questions:
How many planets can the player chose as targets?
All Overseer launchers can point at one planet?
...

I am thinking that if there are 4 overseer planets in a cluster, the player can choose up to 4 planets. And yes all 4 overseer planets can target the same planet. It would be near impossible to make a planet go boom if it could only recieve one packet per turn, and would give ample time for the victim to flee, making the packets more of a terror and annoyance device as compared to impending death.

Although having 4 planets in a cluster being able to firstly launch 4 death packets at a major planet, say homeworld, 4 packets at another major planet, and then in each proceeding turn send 2 packets to each of those planets may be overpowered. That could possibly eliminate 50% of the victim empires production capacity making it very hard for them to recover and strike back in an attempt to gain control over the nuclear footballs. They wouldn't be able to use their homeworld or 2nd planet until the packets stopped coming or they managed to intercept them all. Or maybe that is simply the power of controlling the nuclear football giving more incentive to fights to the death over their control. 2 Guns

ps. Whats OTOH mean?
