STICKY BOMBS!

Late

My idea is there can be a sticky bomb launcher so you launch the sticky bombs and they can stick to the enemy ship (obviously) And there can be a "Detonate" button and you can click it or activate the bombs from a hotkey on your keyboard The explosion and the speed of the sticky bombs can be sorted out by walt

Why would you want to wait to detonate them?

Walt Maybe that could be the drawback to it. There could be a timer on it, like what 5 seconds or something (?) and you need the timer to offset the amount of potential damage it could deal.

perhaps to wait..
Instead of doing a little damage of One, Perhaps Multiple detonating at once gives it a damage boost?

Maybe all sticky bombs (5-10?) in the launcher release as one barrage (1) some land and stick (2) some pass close enough for AOE (3) some are a total miss. Timing detonation is manual to maximize AOE. Basically "space depth charges " or a "poor man's" missile launcher in all respects: cost, size, damage. Can be defeated with point defense but maybe more/less same success rate as missiles. Slower (negative); smaller (positive).

Walt Wait so you can have a bunch of bombs on the ship and you could explode it and/or you can set a timer on it

I'm also thinking a sticky bomb launcher would be an inaccurate weapon - firing not like a shotgun spread but like blowing bubbles - a little all over the place.
