Allow purchase of Aerna Seeker Ships!

A super fast kamikaze ship would add a very interesting dimension to gameplay.

primary trigger would be auto-wired to an instant self-destruct

I don't think Aernas work that way. It seems to me that they fire a weapon whose splash destroys their thin armor and that triggers their explosion.

Not tested:

Equip an arena seeker flare launcher, and an avalon, and when you are within 100 meters of your target, fire both at once.

Splash damage does not trigger Avalons like it does for mines.

Then how about a seeker flare and Teller-Ulam mine?

+1 to OP, great idea

Yeah splash damage triggers mines, but then you're wasting an expensive TU mine launcher for a suicide ship. It's literally cheaper to /explode a Trident.

/me facepalms at Greenwall approving of his own post.

Why not just remove flight controls from aborting /explode ?

1) tie on rising sun headband
2) type /explode
3) say, " I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."
4) soar to your target, like a leaf on the wind, within whatever is left of the 10 second countdown.

+1 to CD, but keep the brake button as a way to abort it.

I'd rather make it so +turbo is the only abort.

There should be no abort.

I'd rather make it so +turbo is the only abort.

That kinda ruins the whole point, doesn't it?

having to type /explode and wait 10 seconds ruins the whole point.

We are not in the 1800s here where we have to wait for a lit fuse to burn off of our stick of dynamite.

1+ to OP

Now file it in the bin!
