That sounds great! Yeah, once the effectiveness of hyperspatial weapons is made obvious, I definitely expect others to try and replicate it. After the war (with the creation of the Mirusian galactic organization), France would be more than willing to sell them Riftfire and Angelfire weaponry which they could install on their ships, and thus allow them to stand toe-to-toe with hyperspatial-enabled navies. The Waptoria could then reverse engineer these in order to create their own models, or keep ordering them in bulk from the French, which would probably be much cheaper since the French already have all of the facilities, resources, contracts, contacts, etc, etc, to produce them en masse.

The Imperium of War will have to be more creative, unfortunately, because France is going to try and lock them out of the international system indefinitely. If they're going to maintain their military relevance into the post-war world, they're definitely going to have to get their hands on hyperspatial weapons. The Hypernova-type missile sounds like a fantastic alternative.

However, I stress that hyperspatial weapons aren't usually superweapons. They're weapons that allow ships to engage in hyperspace, and they more often than not carry normal yields. Angelfire is an anti-ship missile which hones in on a single target (some of the time) from thousands of lightyears away, and can be defended against by using hyperspatial stealth technology or anti-missile defense systems which shoot the projectile down before it hits.
