These new explosions are awesome.

However, why not add a bit of IMMERSION to the mix CCP.

The Millenium Falcon had to go pedal to metal to get out of the Death Star to survive in Return of the Jedi - so we should bring and element of this in.

Add AOE splash damage to the death of a Citadel and Engineering Complex, proportional to the size of the structure being destroyed.

Now this shouldn't be something that will instapop a capital - but if you're a subcap frigate, dessie, lightly tanked cruiser, you can't be within x km or you get popped. Think something like failing a Ghost Site hack - that AOE explosion.

Just a suggestion. Big smileTwisted

Yes, I have. Which is what prompted me to suggest this. It'll really give them a certain gravitas beyond just Michael Bayish eye candy.
