Just a quick suggestion on something I noticed...

When fighters blow up it would be much better if the explosion didn't just stop dead. Conservation of momentum says that the fireball and debris will continue in roughly the same direction they were going when the ship blew up.

For a convincing effect It's suggest that the explosion should inherent roughly 25% of the parent's momentum, while the debris get about 50%.

I believe this would add a little visual punch to the space battles as well as making it just that much more perty waxing a fighter over the field.

All in all, a damned impressive mod.
