  • Type: Bomb
  • Tech: Weap 12, Elec 12, Bio 12
  • Cost: I=1,B=2,no g,Res=2 Mass: 5
  • Abilities: Bomb=3% Kill/2 instal Destroy

Comments: This is just a bomb, which is kind of like a Smart Bomb, in that it's very good at pop killing (better than a Cherry, and almost as good as Enriched Neutron) but not so good at installation destroying (only as good as Lady Finger). The special thing about this, is that it's very cheap and light. Light means ships other than Mini Bombers are gateable, and cheap means (especially with a non-NRSE race where engines aren't expensive) vast hordes can be churned out without eating up valuable minerals or resources. You get it pretty early tech-wise too, before bombs of comparable firepower.
