Default Re: Proportions mod 1.5 released

Judging by seekers fired by WPs, they are distributed equally around the planet. Of course, seekers fired at max range usually don't do any damage; they seem to have to reach the center of the planet. Which would mean the range 1 PDF would get a shot.

The max range seeker thing is true at least in my personal experience. I think the history.txt file with Gold mentioned something about changing the maximum firing range strategy so seekers would be able to target *all* squares of a planet.

[Edit] The problem with the seeker range is that targetting range is determined by the outer edge of the planet, while impact seems to be the center of the planet--one square further than the seeker can travel when fired from max range.
