Suggestion for additional ship technology

from GalCiv2 Forums
In countless science fiction films you'll find a sequence where a badly damaged ship, to avoid eminent capture, activates a self destruct device designed to cause a core breach in the ship's reactor and hopefully take as many of the enemy as possible with it. Perhaps this could be a useful addition to the technology trees, and could add an additional strategic element-- a race destroying its own ship deprives the enemy of the kill.

** ugh, can't edit the original post, make that 'imminent' **

This is already available in the strategy map - just use the decommission button. To do it during the actual battle would require tactical combat (ie, you can control your ships) which just isn't going to happen, sorry.

Ok thanks, I knew about the decom button, was thinking maybe somehow it could be used as a final weapon.
