I nearly DIED man. The module is clearly named "Interdiction Sphere LAUNCHER".

Now, the "Bomb LAUNCHER" actually launches the bomb out 30k. It keeps the lotion on the skin and the pilot in the ship.

But the interdiction sphere launcher? There is no launch! I was in the middle of the bubble! I NEARLY DIED PEOPLE!

The module needs a more descriptive name to better illustrate what it is. Maybe "Bubble maker for suicidal people". Something like that, because there is no launch to that module!!

Launches sphere from hold into space.... sounds like a launcher to me.
Maybe you should check the flight time on the sphere.... you know, like the flight time on bombs which is what makes them go 30km.

I.E. it's not a property of the bomb launcher that bombs go 30km, it's a property of the bomb itself.

Did it say how far it launched the sphere?

And yes, +1 for the laugh at the end of the day.

I'm fairly confident when I clicked launch, just before I then saw my life flash before my eyes, I saw a pop up

if you think that's bad OP, wait till you die despite the fact that you have an INVULNERABILITY field on!! I've been ticked off about the naming of that thing since late 2007.

You know that saying, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while....

Thats like us EVERY DAY. If you spent time in our comms, you'd actually be like "How in the heck do these guys find their HS, let alone actually kill anything?"

hmm what would be the implications for game play if it did launch a bubble, rather than drop it?

That starts to sound like a medical device.

It sounds like you didn't do the rotation right. You need to align in the opposite direction you want the interdiction sphere to go and immediately activate both your MWD and bomb launcher. When you see your ship start to glow, you'll know it's time to activate the interdiction sphere launcher without worry that your ship will be caught in its own bubble.
