I got the idea that what if the fuel cells could explode. I think it would be fun having this option of making some extra damage. Maybe not heavy damage but enough for a little chaos. A huge flash following the explosion could even make ships in close range blind/paralyzed for a moment.
One way of detonating a cell could be simply by shooting at it. Of course, it wouldn’t be a good idea if the first shot would make it go off. With a damage indicator it would be the same as any other destroyable object.
The other way could be by emergency dropping a fuel cell from the cargo bay. After a few seconds the cell would detonate creating fear and loathing in space. :) The more fuel a cell has the more damage and flash it could make.
I really don’t see exploding fuel having a positive impact on the game. At best it’ll be frustrating when you accidentally shoot fuel you need; at worst, people will grief with it.
Np, it’s a good idea, but might cause griefing. I like the idea of having a sorta guerilla mine to deploy though, makes open world “free roam” a bit more “free” and realistic… next step, remove speed limits! (laws of physics must be obeyed)
