Wouldn't it be correctly called a "megatonne", as SI prefixes aren't typically applied to imperial units?

- jensnockert 15y agoFor some reason, people write megaton and mean a metric megaton. Megaton as a TNT-equivalent also refers to a metric tonne. But (Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri) is an American game and it could actually refer to a non-metric megaton
- Unseelie 15y agoI believe the world portrayed used metric, though. They at least talk about nano-meters and etc in their blurbs.
