| TL Availability | 7 |
A powerful one-shot device that emits a high-powered electromagnetic pulse, disrupting plasma containment in drives of nearby ships, resulting in catastrophic damage. Well shielded larger vessels are capable of withstanding this assault on occasion, but small ships invariably do not survive. Triggering the Energy Bomb temporarily deactivates sensitive components. The pulse is harmonised with the drive of the firing ship.
Residual Effects
The release of an energy bomb creates magnetic field shockwaves that can cause catastrophic vibrations in certain minerals, including most asteroidal rock types. This invariably results in the fragmentation of asteroids that are within the range of an energy bomb explosion.
Energy Bomb to be removed from v1.74 of Oolite
In the forthcoming new version of Oolite it has already been removed. The decision has been made by the developers who say that it unbalances the game. However it has been an option in Classic Elite since the beginning. Many players do not wish it to be removed.
There is a poll running for 30 days from the 19th of January 2010 for you to register your opinion on the matter. Register now here: Bomb Poll.
