Yet Another Brain Fart -- err, plot bunny
Re: Cue the amazing bouncing plotferret.

I was more thinking Radiation Beam. But on a different note, how stealthy are the bombs before they go off? If they are hard to see can they be set to work as mines? If nothing else you could drop them out the back set to explode in say, ten seconds and it would still make it pretty dangerous to chase after a terran ship.
*shrug* They're not really meant to be stealthy, but space is big and they don't really radiate worth mentioning until they go off. You can play a few games with their detonation timers, but frankly you're much better off sticking a warhead onto a missile body. These things are meant for a specific purpose, and are quite well optimized for that. Different bombs exist for different missions, and the only time you'd be trying to kludge away that difference would be when you're so desperate you don't have any other options.
Ja, -n
