Maybe im missing something, but who decided ships MUST explode when hull points reach zero?
Wouldnt it be more likely in a lore point of view that a ship would be permanently disabled?

idk maybe im just tired of seeing the same cheesy as fuark action movie explosions every time something dies from projectiles or something like that.

The wreckage in Uedama, Niarja, and Jita would be movement-prohibitive.

The new explosions are ... underwhelming ... to say something "nice",
compared to what i really think they look like.

As far as I remember, the lore explanation is that the warp-drives on ships can't be turned off or fully lose power without exploding catastrophically. Why Hitting 0 hull immediately destroys all reserve power and generators, I couldn't say - but that's why they pop like fireworks when shot.

The old explosions were ok. Heres 700 shuttles popping;

Was surprised to see what was a small number of HUGE explosions rather than 700 tiny ones.
