.TH Command BLAST
.SY "blast \['plane' <plane>\]|\[<ships> \[amt\] \[comm\]\]" 
With the `\*Qblast\*U' command, you can order your military to 
destroy aircraft, satellites, or unwanted commodities aboard 
ships and other vehicles.  As with the `\*Qshoot\*U' command, 
blast requires military and mobility, and that you own the ship,
vehicle, or aircraft being blasted.

You can use `\*Qblast\*U' to liquidate entire planes,
ships, and vehicles.  `\*QBlast\*U' differs from `\*Qscrap\*U' in 
that military is required, it can be done anywhere, and you get
nothing back in exchange.  `\*QBlast\*U' is also how you detonate
satellites that are armed with explosives.  To destroy an entire 
vehicle or plane, simply omit the commodity type and amount.
