New description:

 If a Pawn is destroyed a big explosion is displayed. The BigExplosion
 class is responsible for this effect. Unfortunately this class contains
 too much hard coded stuff. For example the links to the meshes for the
 explosion chunks are written in the C++ code. It would be better to define
 these paths in XML. That way we could define different explosion effects
 for different Spaceships/Pawns. If I destroy a wooden box in "Mission one"
 there shouldn't be metal pieces flying away ...

 Steps:
 - Understand how the BigExplosion class works.
 - Improve it
 - Design some simple explosion chunks in Blender
 - Create a possibility to define in XML something like: "If this spaceship
 is destroyed create a BigExplosion with 5 explosion chunks of type xy."
