Ship explosion splash damage.

It all would depend on how this would be implemented in the game mechanics. In the good ol' DIY game "Full thrust" an exploding capital ship was genuinely one of the players' tactical resources - If you plan it out right, you could whipe a whole strike wing of frigates and turn the tide of battle, a pyrrhic victory if you will. True, some might just go for it right away, however it does not change the gameplay validity of such a feature.

I truely doubt it will be considered tho - it would require some tampering with the hook which few can spare the time for. Still, it's nice imagining.
