I prefer Velociraptor Fracturing, as the implementation is more intuitive.

On top of that, most of the code can probably just be reused from RR.

Yep. :)

That's actually an implementation of voronoi fracturing right there, incidentally.  Some of that was pre-baked (for things that would have a ton of parts), whereas others were done in realtime if they only fractured into a couple of pieces at a time.  It's a multithreaded thing, so it was seeding the physics objects that was the biggest cost there.  In this case we'd be able to use a lot of the same ideas, and much of the same code.

There is certainly something inherently satisfying and final watching a large ship break apart :D
