What might cause a commander to just disappear instead of explode?

I'm stumped.

Check the ExplodeAs and... uhh, the other ExplodeAs (one's for normal explosions, one's for self destruct. They're usually right next to each other in FBI files) to make sure the names they reference are valid weapon names. That's how it rolls.

Well, it really was that simple. I had done this already in Maelstrom's FBI editor, but I had also broken the editor it in such a way that the information was not written to the fbi file correctly. Lesson: check the version in the archive. Thanks Gnome.
