I certainly understand that Nannite tech can be either considered 'the
next revolution that will change everything', or a total smorgasbord of
Science Fantasy devices and/or abilities. The Nannite torpedo concept
was
much more based on the 'virus' idea. In the Nannite Torp PSB, whatever
other capabilities Nannites might have, if you want to use them as a
weapon, the best way is to use 'feral' nannites whose only function is
to
consume and reproduce. If they survive the transit to the enemy ship,
they
simply begin eating it. Other PSB could have it that Inherent limits in
Nannite progammability or physical capcity make this the only plausible
way to use them as a weapon.
