List of oddities

Putting it on the hull would be the best choice, but I don't think it is possible yet. (I've made a request for it)

Alternatively, you could give propulsion base to EVERY component. Only once you're down to like 5 hitpoints will you notice a forced slowdown, at which point you're dead anyways.

Of course, unlike SE4 you can't make an ability that doesn't show up, so all the components would show that in a mouseover..

EDIT: wrong thread.

I was on the campaigns protect pirate base mission.

Pirate Space Station fired on me after recovering illegal item. Stopped firing after ejecting item.

I can understand the TCN starbase firing on me for illegal cargo. But, not the pirates.
It must be a copy the program code thing.

A good oddity, and probably something useful for modders:

"Planet" is a valid target type. Nothing else extra seems to work, but this does. So the list for targets includes Ship, Base, Fighter, Satelite, Torpedo, and Planet.

This does NOT let you shoot planets by itself, since they aren't destroyables. But it would let you do that with a little modding..

...Taz reads the previous post and immediately has daydreams of destroying WHOLE WORLDS!

It's one of those 'little things' in life that keeps a Taz happy!!

P.S. Now if we could only destroy a star...

You could do that to. Just give it a target type of planet.

It is odd though; giving something in the purchaseship enemy file an asteroid for a model works fine. Giving it a model of a planet crashes the game..
