If you're loaded with solid explosive and you're killed increase the splash damage of the ship.
if you're rammed or you ram something with your ship containing a certain amount of solid explosives, and with a certain velocity, it would trigger the explosion as well.

I am interested to see if the devs can make sure that Faction exploits cannot be abused with this.

Faction exploits? Please elaborate.

Because explosion of a ship does not count as an overt act of aggression that would normally be penalized, but a XC-bomb can be used as a weapon.

But don't get me wrong, it sounds like fun. +1

Should one XC load of explosives be enough to deshield a trident?

Probably

KAMIKAZE!!!

Explosions are more fun than standing protection. Furthermore, if you make ship or cargo explosions inflict standing losses, this will be exploited in order to penalize the victim of attacks in monitored space.

Than it shouldn't be done. People will exploit it. It makes no sense for someone to "Allahu Akbar" someone in protected space without SF getting involved.

oh don't be a party pooper, galanoth.

Solid-explosives augmented explosions could be handled separately and penalized. That would be dangerous to people who are innocently hauling solid explosives and get attacked while a third party is nearby (doesn't matter if their explosion kills the attacker, obviously). That seems like a fair risk to me. I don't think people often haul solid explosives as part of their normal routine. People who don't want the risk can just not haul the stuff.

Also, note that if you suddenly get attacked while hauling solid explosives, you can always just jettison the cargo before you explode. If you're too irresponsible to think of those around you, you are too irresponsible to haul explosives.

Yes do this, and if i carry a full trident full of prox mine cu i want my dent to explode with the force of 10x800 prox mines

:D

yeah, this would be a loot of fun. Having some way to kamikaze a cargo ship with explosives in the middle of your enemies would make sense RP wise as well, it can't be that hard to rig up a big bomb in the cargo hold. It would also make the XC a viable combat ship : )

Kamikaze XC's would be gold.

+1 of course... this has been suggested many times already
