I'm just curious as to why it's an option to coat radiators with a thin layer of high explosive. As well if it has any effect on anything. If it does explode, I suppose it could be helpful for suicide drones.

To make thin 100+ foot exploding swords for flybys?

I think it's an option because the game will let you load any material for any purpose, as long as the relevant properties are there. I am not sure that the explosive properties are simulated if it is used as armor coating.
Just because you can, jurassic park, etc. On the other hand, no, go nuts, and let us know if you find anything interesting.

I am old enough to remember US service personnel using the term to mock Iraqi jihadis a decade ago.

I think that saying is pretty much Universal because its mocks the "Alahu Akbar" line that gets used alot if you have ever watched some Jihadi vids. Its certainly was the first word play that came to my mind when I first saw some of those vids.

If you believe the inclusion of Hawaiian terms into idiomatic English is universal... you might be an American.

Anyway, I tried it out today on a missile keeping the size of a typical stinger drone, with the Octogen coated radiators, and a notably useless and cheap RTG. The radiators DO explode when they impact something or get shot at, but when they actually make contact with a seperate target, and detonate, they as far as I saw, do absolutely nothing to the thing being hit. Maybe a bug... Granted my test target was a station with a fairly thick layer of Vanadium Chromium Steel.

If you believe the inclusion of Hawaiian terms into idiomatic English is universal... you might be an American. Hawaiian? "Aloha" is the Hawaiian greeting roughly cognate with the semitic SLM (salaam/shalom). In the context of an English idiom, it's about as distinctive a regional Americanism as they come.

Here's the drone/missile/thing. One radiator used as the "spearhead" the other 2 radiators to keep the 0 output reactor from melting down. 80 Missiles later, and all I got was a partially irritated radiator, and a few cargo compartments on the stock cargo station. This is spectacularly useless, but fairly cheap.
