NPCs using Q-bomb?

Q mines explosions appear as a rapidly growing blue sphere(s) so there shouldn't be too much problem identifying them!

Okay. So now if you set an npc ship to carry an energy bomb (has_energy_bomb set to a non-zero number) there's a small chance it may launch a q-bomb when attacked (r391).

You asked for it!

ERK!

Energy bomb, or Q Bomb?

Q-bomb. NPCs with the player-style energy bomb would be ridiculous.

Giles, if we're going to have this we need a really LOUD alarm with all the bells and whistles. Otherwise it's gonna be confused with missiles and nobody's gonna have the time to fuel-inject outta there.

They are pretty obvious when they go off, big blue expanding sphere which shows up even on the scanner...

Winston, they're pretty obvious if you aren't right next to one... What would cmdr Winston think?
