Gameplay[]

"The Stellar Grenade is a nice little bit of defense against fighters on your tail. Just pop a few out the back, and watch the fireworks. Dirt cheap, don't be afraid to horde these puppies. Everything about the Stellar Grenade is nice and cheap and small. At only 3 tons, you don't miss out on much to have this handy weapon on your ship, and at only 5,000 credits, you can do a single cargo mission to be able to afford one." ― EVula Survival Guide

Stellar Grenades are analagous to the floating mines employed in ancient maritime warfare. The basic concept is to launch an unpowered, unguided explosive device that will detonate when it is contacted by a ship (ideally by an enemy ship, but grenades are not choosy).

Stellar Grenades are clumsy to use and generally do little damage over a period of time, making them generally passed up for other weapons. However, they are light, cheap, and strong enough to take out most Vipers in a single blast.

Although in the engine they are considered to be rockets, they act more like weapons with free-fall bomb behaviour. They have 0 speed. Consequently the AI will almost never use them (if given through a plug-in, no ship has these equipped) since they are evaluated to never be in range.

Stellar Grenade Launcher on a Shuttle

"This weapon is a small airlock mounted in the underside of a ship. Simply place a grenade in the receptacle provided and then pull the lever. The airlock will cycle, and then a mechanical arm-launch system will fling the projectile backwards. The simplicity of the launcher is reflected by its bargain-basement price."


The Stellar Grenade Launcher is a weapon that uses Stellar Grenades as ammunition. You'll be able to find them on almost every world, except for the Polaris.

Stellar Grenade and a Shuttle

"The Stellar Grenade is a device designed to throw pursuing ships off your tail. Dropping a few of these little gems out the hatch will keep adversaries off your tail, or make them regret it if they follow you. Bigger targets will be slowed a little."

Maxxing out your Stellar Grenades is probably overkill. It'll set you back only 40k, but the launchers don't fire quickly enough to use up 200 grenades quickly.
