Wormhole Bomb OXP
-----------------
Add-on for Oolite by Giles Williams

Overview:
---------
Wormhole Bomb is an experimental device prototype deployed from a missile pylon.
The main energy source to power the device is a laser-induced fusion bomb that completely destroys the device, so it can do only 1 jump. It shares some similarities to the Q-bomb, except its use is only hostile to itself as its wormhole is a controlled one.
Effectively, it is like the jump core of a small ship -- so it is small enough to fit into a missile tube. The resulting wormhole is smaller and shorter-lived than those made by even the smallest ships. (Adders?)

It's not weaponized to be used in a dangerous or busy environment. It has no shields, no energy regeneration, no propulsion, no multi-jump-chain ability, and does not even deploy conveniently -- you have to turn around to quickly fly into the wormhole before it disappears in ~45 seconds.

The 1200 credits cost is pretty steep for a 1-shot emergency jump pod, but this is mainly used by long ranged specialized recon ships or even ships without jump ability.

It should be available at all Tech Level 13 and up systems.

Installation:
------------
Drop this oxp in your "AddOns" folder.
For de-installation just remove the oxp from the AddOns folder.

Probably only compatible with Oolite v1.75 and later.

Version history:
----------------
0.1	Initial testing phase (pre-release)
0.2	Bomb's wormhole creation and destruction now sequenced correctly. The variable swi_wh_dis is now defined with var and thus local only. The other, swi_wh_dest had to be global to share across subs.
0.3	Added a galaxyNumber check for the RARE case someone is goofing around in hacked Galaxy Charts past the usual 1-8.
