Explosive weapon

There are many weapons in Spore that cause damage by means of explosion. Most of these fit into the categories of bombs and missiles, but there are others.

Bombs
Bombs are simple weapons that are thrown or dropped. The first bomb technology is developed by some species in the Tribal Stage, and the ultimate bomb weapon is the Planet Buster, a bomb capable of destroying a planet.

Tribal Stage bombs

 * Fire Bombs

Defensive bombs
These bombs do not directly cause damage, but prevent the enemy from attacking or fighting back.


 * Static Bomb
 * Bribe Bomb

Offensive bombs

 * Mighty Bomb
 * Gadget Bomb

Space Stage bombs

 * Bomb (handheld weapon)
 * Bomb (ship-launched weapon)
 * Anti-Matter Bomb
 * Planet Buster

Missiles
Missiles are weapons that carry their own fuel supply, and often have their own targeting systems so they can hit their target even if it moves out of the missile's path. Missiles are usually first developed in the Civilization Stage.

Civilisation Stage missiles
Although the shells used by military land vehicles may not appear to be these, their ability to change direction and continue heading towards their target for up to hundreds of metres longer than they should if they did not have their own propulsion shows that they are in fact missiles unlike their Earth counterparts.


 * Torpedo
 * ICBM

Space Stage missiles

 * Missile Flinger
 * Proton Missile
 * Anti-Matter Missile

Other explosive weapons
Explosive weapons that are neither missiles nor bombs include:


 * Flak guns - most Space Stage turrets fire explosives that fill the air above the city thay are protecting. These weapons detonate, damaging any ships nearby.
