Blast wave

When one hits the ECM, there is an invisible blastwave which grows out from your ship blowing up missiles in the area. Close missiles are destroyed sooner than distant misiles. It takes on the order of a second for an ECM pulse to sweep the entire screen.

Could this effect be added to the Energy Bomb? At the moment all ships blow up instantly. Recycling the same code from ECM would make for a more interesting experience.

Maybe it should also cause a barely visible distortion of space as it expands? It would be a cool effect.

Yes, a Q-Mine purple bubble would be sweet, but I'm trying not to alienate the traditionalists, hence the minimalist suggestion.
