Off station Bomb range

[Twoflower]

The test chamber is beat up most rounds and completely obliterated every once in a while. Nobody minds, really.

If you want to test something that can delete a huge area, you could grab a pod and dig a tunnel in some asteroid in the mining zlevel.

Actually not a bad idea, you'd be helping the miners inadvertently too (if anyone [no-one] cares)

Here's a really cool idea, easy to set up too. Put a miniputt in science dock (afaik science does not start with one), and put 1 power-pick on a rack with maybe a little unit of teperone on the rack too (not giving scientists spacesuits, give them a small 30 unit teperone bottle should suffice)
That'd encourage scientists to go out and test out their bombs in the asteroid field.

Well don't scientists already start with one space suit in the telescience area or am I just imagining that?

You are.
