I think it's forseeable that you could want different wreck-types depending on whether a unit destroys another unit conventionally (In this case I'm thinking of ships or battlemechs with nuclear engines, which when destroyed or self-destructed perhaps cause different effects than their regular attacks) but, for now, I think it would be fine to just default the wrecked-type-if-killed table to apply to detonating units. As far as I'm aware, there are no current games that would be adversely affected by this and there are a couple cute things I want to do with this feature in Opal. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
