I tried writing this earlier but netscape crashed and the message never
actually got  sent, so here's most of what I originally said.

I'm still rattling the burst pod idea around in my head. I don't like
the idea of using more then 1 biomass for a pod, but I can't see any
other way of balancing it.

The Phalon PBLs are:
Size	Mass	Cost
1	5	15
2	10	30
3	15	45
4	20	60
5	25	75

Two leading "costs" for the burst pod are:

Size	Biomass Energy
1	2	10
2	4	20
3	8	40
4	16	80

Size	Biomass Energy
1	3	12
2	6	18
3	9	27
4	12	36
5	15	45

The other alternative is to limit the burst pods to a class 1 PB only.
I'm sorta leaning towards that idea. I'd probably make it 2/10 but 3/12
is probably better

Burst Pods:
* requires X biomass/Y energy
* max range 24mu within launcher's arc
* acts as Phalon PB
