I think it might've been named Herring after the Skipper missile in the Wing Commander universe, which could phase in and out of normal space like SSM torpedoes.
Why has nobody ever made an unbelievably cool torpedo like this yet?

I think it's been made possible (the proper skipper, i.e. launch-jump-arrive-hit rather than targeting laser-arrive-hit) with the SCP.  But I don't know how you'd actually make it......

The SSM IMO isn't used much because it's not only still rather obscure, but it has this nasty problem of being a nearly endless supply of bombs (with the TL at least; I think TAG-C has been edited in the code so as to act in the same way as the TL, making it more feasible).

It's explained here in the wiki.

That's easy.  A weapon with a large radius and a negative mass should draw everything in its blast towards it, IIRC.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

Yup, I toyed with those back in the FS1 days. Not much practical use though unless you could maintain a sustained negative blast. (tons of small spawn explosions in the same spot with the same negative mass)

Gravity bombs are quite fun to use. just be sure to run like hell once you fire one off. ;)

Hmm.  Every-time with explosion-effect?

there was a gravity bomb mod for FS2 i played many years ago.

i made a sucessful ractor beam once, but it was useless, because it pulled the ship toward you and crashed into you and hurt you.
