Bombs are horrible. Let's nerf bombs.
#1
Assembling a 12x12 bomb is not a hard task. They fit in a backpack, so they won't be a huge glowing sign that calls "shithead ahoy" on you.

There are people who still think suicide bombing is ok.

And then there are those who will blow up a bomb whenever they deem to have the slightest justification.
Rogue AI? Let's bomb it, and who cares if the bomb hits engineering and eva too.
Someone is beating me up? Payback is a bomb.
Did I blow up a main corridor or an important area? But it's not my fault, I was attacked first.

I wouldn't mind losing 12x12s, and having the hard-cap on explosion limited to what nuke bombs do. It's smaller and less random, but will still demolish a large area, when you need it gone.

Then there was Cogwerks' idea for canister bombs, which Marquesas coded.
I know that they were meant to be larger than 12x12. But why not put them in with this radius, until someone sorts out explosion lag?
At least half their appeal is having a huge blinking object that says RUN AWAY, DANGER. And using them as a lure or a diversion. Not strictly to blow half the station to the sky.
