i wonder if maybe you could put it in as a weapon (the explosion i mean) that is scripted to only fire when the ships health is at 0 or 1 so it would seem to go off when the ship explodes.

I dont know if any of this is possible i dont know how flexible sins is. but i used to use little hacks like that when modding homeworld. (although homeworld natively supported ship explosions dealing damage
