<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You mean they stop moving when their engines are gone, rather than continuing along their Last vector? Yeah, that would be kinda counter-intuitive... but I guess it copies SE4 physics rather well...

platehead: 'why do you move?'
aristoped: 'why, because the engines make you move.'
platehead: 'so, naturally, what happens when you don't have any engines?'
aristoped: 'you don't move!'

and i'm pretty sure you can all guess who platehead and aristoped are brainless mangling's of.

no insult to MM or Aaron hall intended. when your making a game, you have to make it fun, in a time frame, within a budget and realistic, in that order.

I'm in a hot dogfight with several ships and I am chasing a heavily damaged cruiser. Suddenly a huge battleship closes in and I break off pursuit by taking a hard right... and promptly run off the system grid. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

By the time I return to the grid and flee, I am now more heavily damaged then my prey! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

hmmm,.. it sounds like a diluted form of strictnine mixed with gellatine. "My ship is the Condor. You killed my speed, prepare to die!".

and,.. "omg, It's full of stars!"

where's those qoutes from?

The Princess Bride, IIRC

thanks.

Ok, I can understand the FEDS (TCN) space station opening fire when you recover illegal items.

But, I had just finished defending a pirate base. I recovered a contraband cargo, and wouldn't you know it, the pirate space station nailed me good.
Fortunitly I had enough time to eject the cargo.

Of course, they stop firing when the cargo is ejected. No memory at all :<))

I just get my copy today, early, and begin to play a nice game of Star Fury. I play most of the day and through most of the missions. I am proud of the game as I really enjoy it so I decide to show it off to my twin nephews. Both are 6 and still strung out from Halloween.

They eeeww and oww at the game and generally are very excited. They ask if they can play it and I say after I am done. We all go out side to enjoy the nice cold weather and I become distracted working on my Quad. I ripped the front fender off the other day down at sandlake and was replacing the bracket when I realized that both of my nephews were AOL. I know instantly where they are. I run for the house...... I run down the hall..... I enter the room just in time to see my ship crash into a planet. GAME OVER..........

I should have saved it, but we all know why I didn't; "Ah nothing will happen while I am away."
