Re-watch the intro vid to WC4....The FlashPak launches from a special
bay midway down the belly of the Dragon.  Only Dragons can carry the
FlashPak.  According to the book, it's because the "igniter" for the
FlaskPak is unstable, so is only mated to the device a split-second
before launch.  After all, a FlashPak igniting in the belly of your
fighter would ruin ANYONE's day......<ouch>.

As described in the book/shown in the game, the FlashPak ignites the
atmosphere of the ship. in essence burning it from the inside out.
Since comments were make about the FlashPak not being able to get
through the thicker hull armor of the Vesuvius-class, wonder if what
the bomb IS is just a enhanced fuel-air canister.  We have those now,
but they're only used for antipersonnel/area denial attacks.
Injecting that into a ship.......hmmm.....
