A way around the problem of ships wanting to live might be the following:
A weapon with very low range and no explosion radius that splits into submunitions immediately after launch. The submunitions have an explosive radius that is sufficient to kill the mine-ship.
The mine-ship is most probably too stupid to look into submunitions.

EDIT: One would think so, at least. Actually, the submunitions just refuse to hurt the ship who fired the weapon. At least when I try it.

You've never even seen a Catholic mass have you?

And why not try using an outfit that is a missile launcher, but is rigged so that the outfit explodes killing the craft? That should work with a bit of rigging.

Hmm, has your mass changed since the clergy go around jabbering in latin dressed in ornate garb? And do they still tell the people they're going to hell if they don't pay there way out of purgitory?

And you still pay preists, right? I don't recall Jesus ever passing a collection plate.

spl and Obsidian, either you two are going to have to shut up or a mod is going to move this topic to the B&B; board.
Please, this is an EV development board. Many of us (such as I) don't even follow the Christian religion much, if at all. So you are both going to have to stop spouting and bickering, or someone will lock the topic.
