    For someone who likes to play as such an evil character, you're overlooking some of the simple joys of villany.

    Chase someone up a tree, then casually sharpen an ax....
    Got them halfway up a cliff-face? Most times a good slingshot is sufficient to rattle their cage. Down a drain? That's where a psychotic Chihauhau comes in handy. "Treat!"
    Drain plugged? Use a garden hose - running slowly of course.

    All of the above problems are solved by the tele-groper or my implosion bomb. But I'm not sure what will happen if I detonate it.

    The Tele-groper sounds like fun, but aaahhhh....

    Just how powerful is the implosion bomb? Creating a singularity in a gravity field - i.e. Earth - is not a good idea. Ask any Star Trek fan.

    Well I'm not sure how powerful it is, maybe I should put it on Pluto to test it.

    Yeah, I would imagine Pluto would be far enough for safety. Go for it.

    Nothing can beat my Shark (TM) (C) (R) rocket, made of:
    - a smaller black hole contained in an
    - anti-grav/grav-controller force field, compensating for movements
    - a smaller nuclear reactor

    At "detonation" (when the enemy ship is close enough) its force field collapses, and the black hole is released in the close vicinity of the enemy, almost immediately destroying it.

    One disadvantage that it is rather unstable, a failure to the reactor or the force field causes detonation inside your spaceship. Also, the compensator isn't perfect, above a certain speed, it will behave unpredictably, parts of or the entire black hole can leave the force field, distorting time and/or destroying your spaceship.

    Sounds like a good going away gift for a mother-in-law!

    Hah! Going away! That's great. It'd be great if it was door-mat operated. As in, she walks up to your door, stands on the mat, and is propelled about 100 miles above the earth's surface and then imploded, exploded, and imploded again.

    Just a small question : how much damage does the Droch's Warbringer do?

    Droch's Warbringer normally does 20-40 damage per shot, with a single bullet.
