Shockwaves are 360o. They are spherical.

Well this one has to be different, right? or else it wouldn't be the true seismic bomb...

I've never understood the concept of a 2d shockwave. Any sort of wave, that exists in 3d space, seems to me to expand in all 3 dimensions equally as long as the medium is unchanged. As far as getting caught in it, just don't be flying towards it  |

Btw, instead of adding it to weapons.tbl, you can always add it with a .tbm file instead. Doesn't require any hacking around in the main .tbl file then, and it's much easier to install as a mod on top of retail or some such.

Once they're all released, I'll pack them together with a single weapons tbm and put them in a VP.

If anyone remembers the seismic charges from the movie. They explode out very similar to the flat 3d shockwaves we have. I don't see any problem.

I didn't see any action happening outside of the actual blue(green?) wave in the movie, if you ask me.

So it's just a bomb with the cool sound tacked on? A bit less impressive than a proper seismic charge would be. I know non-spherical explosions seem a bit odd, and are probably difficult (impossible?) to replicate in FreeSpace, but that's clearly what happened in the movie, and part - albeit a small part - of what made the scene so memorable, what with the ring cutting the larger asteroids in half instead of simply pulverizing them. Shaped charges are possible now, presumably Star Wars tech allows for shaped detonations that are remarkably better controlled. What's the point, you ask? If you were to drop that bomb on a planet, then unless you dropped it on the crest of a hill you'd see massive devastation on the surface, without any energy wasted making a big localized crater, or simply shot up into the air. Certainly, even with Star Wars tech you lose some efficiency to a shaped charge, but less than you lose by heating soil into glass. In deep space, a bomb like that is fairly useless. I don't know why Fett would be carrying a specialized ground attack device, perhaps some bounties don't require recognizable remains or minimal collateral damage.

That could be the biggest reason. Of course there is always the reason that Lucas might of just wanted it to look awesome.  |

Happy Tuesday. Here's your bomb.
Intruder Rocket  Fondly remembered as the Heavy Rocket from the X-Wing series, the Intruder is a standard-issue heavy warhead for blowing up big stuff. |

Anyway, Wednesday's missile awaits!
Proton Torpedo Another canonical weapon, this bad boy made its first appearance in 1977. They've seen use in the destruction of both Death Stars and are the X-Wing pilot's old standby for taking out turrets, bombers and small targets. |

Nice job, Galemp, but I think you should specify which proton torpedo this is, seeing how there are various manufacturers (I think this one is Krupx, the N-1s during the Battle of Naboo used some other variant though). Just like how we have two different manufacturers for the Concussion Missiles (Arakyd and Dymek).
