Speaking of proximity bombs...one of the COOLEST weapons in Descent
(er..shareware..can't speak for the regged!). Here are some fun things
to do with 'em:

1. Drop a few when fleeing through tight spaces (obvious tactics first :).
2. Drop them behind closed doors as an opponent approaches the other side.
3. Drop a BUNCH together near an opening your opponent will soon be comming
   through and detonate them with your lasers when he is close enough.
4. Always leave a mess of bombs at the exit after you have destroyed the
   reactor! The more time he wastes clearing them the closer his date with
   a mushroom cloud. :)
5. And my FAVORITE: If you KNOW you are about to die (5% shields and a
   volley of missiles heading your way) drop ALL of your bombs.
   When he rushes in to steal your weapons KABOOM! Serves him right!
Of course from then on he will not be so quick to grab... :)
