SE5 Demo Bug Reports & Annoyances/Requests

[Rellep]

While playing around with my "kewl rangez demod" (all weapon ranges about 1000 with alltech) I noticed that, for some reason, projectile weapons simply annihilated anything with beam weapons. It was obvious why missiles would do that (after all, with no way to mod it, direct fire weapons have a "to hit"-modifier of something like -1000) but why, say, meson blasters?

After some testing, I discovered that projectiles are fired directly at the target, with no adjustment whatsoever for hit penalties (or bonuses, for that matter). In other words, they always hit... Unless the target is moving even a bit laterally (in relation to the shooter) in which case they miss all the time, unless the range is so short the target has no time to move away from the bullets path... This also means that manual dodging is possible.

Weird.
