How about Warhead?

Does that work on Troops?

In a similar vein, if you set Weapon Type to Warhead (like Kamikaze Warhead) does that mean it destroys itself? Does it apply damage to the ship? Can it only be used on a ram action?

A warhead adds its damage to the damage done by the ship in a ram. It can not fire on targets.

No. Troops can not ram.

How do mines work then? Do they have a ram action? Could the mine mechanics be used on a planet to simulate booby traps, heavy defense, etc.?

Boy, I'm full of questions today. I'm at work so I can't check the game. I just have the txt files here.

Can a ship ram a planet?

OK, here's some ideas for Planetary Assault Mod:

1)Only special Planetary Assault ship weapons can target planets. Increase choices of assault weapons, some have range, some are special shield depleters, fighters gain some assault, cyclonic torpedos, virus missiles, long range neutron weapons

2)Increase options for troops

3)Make WP strictly defensive. Possibly only mount PD cannons of various kinds. This turns planetary assaults into the realm of fighters, mines, and troop landings

Question: Is reload time ignored for Weapon Platforms?
