now that i think about it, to pull his bacon out of the fire at
amlitzer, yang drops some big bombs on the sun that his fleet's hovering
over. the updraft from the blast blows his ships past the approaching
imperial fleet (under bittenfeld, if i'm not mistaken) that had him
cornered there. i guess those were probably nukes after all.
even so, i'm still curious as to why they aren't used more often,
especially by the alliance.
