Now on Xelerus (and my signature, in fact), Mining charges solve all those pesky problems of mucking around with mining lasers! Simply plant, wait, and BOOM!
Please note that these DO have the potential to kill things, so you should probably be careful where you put them. The damage is quite high for a cheap and common item, due to the unique nature of the fusing (you can't set off the bomb early via proximity, like a mine) and the fact that I wanted to blow things up with them.
Get yer massive explodey things 'ere!
(In particular, don't put them ANYWHERE near ferians)
