Anytime i see a mod by clojelo, i gotta check it out. they're always small but interesting mods
Explosive charge (safe mode) mod (0.15.18)
Thanks for fulfilling the request.
A bit outdated code but works.
clojelo Sensing is still hardcoded with emitters but you should be able to just use the weapon as trigger. So you may not even need to spawn a shot at all. You will need a multitoggle to unify vanilla trigger and weapon trigger with an Any and use that for the DetonateEffects. It's a bit more complicated but proper in the workings.
Anyhow, the downside to all this is the explosive charges only detonate in range so those further behind won't detonate at the same time. Swarmer carriers can't release all at once. It's possible to use a control room to coordinate it all with a buff and even set a range, though. In theory Abh could differentiate between releasing ships and e.g. escape pods, too.

Oh yeah, gotta check this thing out!
Would you allow me to integrate this into my own mod? I of course would cite you as the author and have a link to this page. If that is not something you are not into I understand.
Edit: this mod is rad AF

Northerner Would you allow me to integrate this into my own mod?
Yes, you're welcome to adapt code into your own mod.
This mod uses Apache license v2.0 -- see FAQ section in original post.
Lafiel Anyhow, the downside to all this is the explosive charges only detonate in range so those further behind won't detonate at the same time.
Lafiel has a few insights into current method's limitations. It remains a challenge auto-synchronizing several charges for swarm tactic. Got to admit he's an artist.
Alright, I got the control room with said features done. Only problem there seems to be a conversion bug so I need Walt to confirm it.
That_Angry_Man The FBI does not approve of this mod
ImNotLaffng also, to make sure they can't see you, put tape over you webcam

clojelo There is an issue with this were the auto fire function doubles or triples the damage and radius of the explosive charge.

Thank you, Northerner, the bug was introduced during missile prototypes.
Manufacturer is recalling all unsafe part from 0.14.5_xxxxxx to 0.14.6_20190209 with free replacement part.
Change log
0.14.6 - 2/27/2019

- Changed to vanilla DetonateEffects/HitEffects (destroy self only)
clojelo Thank you man, you are the best!
