Hi Guys,

Sometime ago I proposed allowing Sa'Vasku fighter to make kamikaze
attacks.  This made the Sa'Vasku fighters as un-balanced as the Sa'Vasku
ships. I still like the idea of the Sa'Vasku having having kamikazes. I think
kamikazes are a very bug thing to do. Baka Bombs were WWII Japanese rocket
propelled ariel torpedo (winged missile) with a human guidence system... The
Japanese called them Ohka (cherry blossom), but the Americans called them Baka
Bombs (fool's bomb). My new idea is that the Sa'Vasku can grow Baka Bombs by
expending power. The power cost is the same as building a fighter with the
same capabilities. Baka bombs have no beams. The find a target (ship) and then
crash into it doing 1d6 damage each.

A torpedo fighter that doesn't miss, but doesn't have any beams at
all...

I would call it a FT2 torpedo with endurance it can expend just like fighters.
(As indeed torpedo's should be.)
