I have to add my voice to the general frustration surrounding proximity bombs. Use them on your so-called friends chasing after you after they have blown away most of your shields and you're running for your bloody life. Use them on those dumb green chopper guys ( I forgot what they're called ). You can also use them on the yellow guys, or even the blue ones, when they're feeling aggressive (as you'll note they will from time to time) -- you need to think fast to handle that correctly. Use them to blow the door into the chamber where the hostages are kept (I'm operating on the theory that proximity bombs are less useful than laser power or oh-so-precious Vulcan shells, so use the bombs instead and save your better weapons for fighting w/baddies). But in general I don't find them nearly as useful as they "ought" to be.
