WMD?

OK, What about having a weapon (like a nuke) that allowed you to launch, maneuver, and control when it went off? (Aka "The Redeemer" in UnReal)
It would obvoiusly be a (L) weapon, be heavy, be very expensive, have 1 shot, and when you were controlling it you would be helpless.
Asteroids would shield from the blast if possible. So you could avoid damage by placing an asteroid, station, or other ship between you and the explosion.

Stupid? Good? Posted somewhere before and I missed it? Whaddya think?

Anyway, back on topic.
Combat in vendetta is rather fast paced, and flying off on a 'run myself in player x' mission while leaving your ship to be a sitting duck for someone to take out is not what I would call a Good Idea. I think this'd make a bit more sense as a cap ship weapon, but I really don't want to go into that before said ship is a fairly stable part of the universe.
