explosive cargo

Would it be possible to make certain cargos explosive? such as fertilizer, mox, hfuel, oxygen? i think this would make things more interesting when attacking cargo vessels.

i suppose u mean the cargopods?

those already do have explosions.
you can look those up in FX\explosions.ini
just add
radius = 1000
hull_damage = 2000
impulse = 10000
to them and enjoy

impulse value should give the whole thing a kinetic blast effect.

search the [LootCrate definition of the commodity u want to edit - im not sure if they all use the same or not, but they should have an explosion_arch = entry.

then proceed the same way i described above.

What he is asking I think is whether combustible cargo, such as Hfuel, MOX and the like can be made explosive, like doing extra damage when it explodes. Kind of like when a real life battleship's ammo magazine explodes and takes the rest of the ship with it.

It would certainly be cool.
