Auto destruct system.

Some thing like this?

Thanks.

Radiation, just that. Insanely high radiation. Kill guarataneed. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Mephisto´s suggestion is probably the best, weapons automatically take 2 blows to wipe a ship out, and that´s only if the person doesn´t use shield batteries. Radiation is the best way, though a player can easily avoid it. Or you could make a sun with an instant kill zone, where the killzone stretches as far as the corona, so the player gets no warning, just instant death. However you could just fly around a sun...

Methinks he means a self-destruct, so the mine is probably the only option unfortunately. If we could figure out a way to attack the hull directly using a weapon it would be better, but AFAIK the engine can´t do that <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (This site is best viewed with your eyes open)

We made a suicide longsword shiva bomb. The problem being that it takes out your shields, and your still alive. So its not really a &quot;suicide&quot; bomb, because your still alive All those blue suns get kind of annoying, too <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Invisible, silent - just &quot;boom&quot; if you fly into them.

If i recall correctly, does a negative damage not bypass the shields? therefore grant the mine an instant explosion with a powerful negative damage.
