[Spaceships] Warhead system

[panton41]

One thing to remember is that Spaceships takes a fairly realistic approach to the amount kinetic energy spaceships have. Challenger and Endevour were both impacted by a paint flake in space and the second case it penetrated half the depth of the glass (which is around an inch thick). I've heard an orbiting bolt would probably go in one side and out of the other of the Space Shuttle... longways. Every built-for-purpose space weapon design and used to date have kinetic-kill.

So you can see why at miles-per-second velocity explosives aren't worth the trouble.
