Here's an interesting thought for scattering flak, but I'm uncertain as to whether or not FSO can do this. If one could combine a flak cannon with a spawn ability, like the Psynaptic bomb. Basically, if would fire a large flak shell (which FS code renders with particles) which splits into about half a dozen standard flak shells, but uses PhReAk's directional spawning. Someone tell me if this is even feasable.
That is a good idea, and I think I know how to do it. It would have to be made as a missile. Make a Giant Bullet and make a "missile" in the TBL and change the explosion to the Flak explosion, then set the flag like you said a Psynaptic bomb and set where it explodes so many seconds later. You should end up with one big shell that explodes and releases a whole pile of flak explosions.
