Would make rather a mockery of any sort of campaign resources thing. If
your carrier gets zapped, just grow another. Still, I supose you would
always recquire the base molecules for the nanites to work with.

Didn't someone sugges these as one of the alternative  Sa'Vasku weapons
a
while back? I have a feeling they would be like the chemical weapons of
today - the better powers wouldn't bother with the m as they would be
far
too tricky to contain, transport and deploy..

Depends what %age of C you are getting your rounds up to. If your rounds
are going significantly quicker than their targets are it's not such a
problem.
