Re: Favorite trick in the game (spoilers possible)
Regarding the use of the Aethric mirror to flush enemies down Black Holes...

Of course, it might also be argued that it's not a "fair fight" — but when you've got crappy weapons, crappy shields and crappy systems, and there's three fleets of cloaked death waiting for you over that Urluquai homeworld, well… a "fair fight" just doesn't sound quite so appealing, does it?

I wouldn't feel bad about it for even a second...I doubt you get the points for the kills so there is some loss attached to it even if you do get the stuff from their planet. It ticks me off (to put it gently) when the game doesn't make anything available stronger than a Gauss cannon and you're stuck with a galaxy full of Tan Ru and Mother Vents or whatever those are called.
Or when you can't find anything faster than one Ruby Laser drive...But I was glad to finally figure out wormholes.

Oh my goodness the "Lava Bomb Launcher" is a lot of fun. Check out the picture they have for it, that made me laugh. "Placeholder"

Re: Favorite trick in the game (spoilers possible)
Just be glad they put in placeholder graphics. Some coders are lazy and don't..and then when you get things you aren't supposed to the game crashes.

Re: Favorite trick in the game (spoilers possible)
its actually a pretty simple patch to add the "nowish"
flag to items like lavabombs, nova bombs, cobalt torps, etc.
i never actually thought of using lavabombs, because theyre so easy to shoot down. but unless the AI has dedicated point defense, i guess they cant do that.
I guess it would be a pretty significant change to add manual targeting of projectiles to the AI.

Re: Favorite trick in the game (spoilers possible)
yes, we're adding this flag to all "structural" items in the patch. These are things that are part of a ship, not really items you can move around...
(if someone makes a "you are Tchorak" mod and make some graphics for these, they can remove that flag of course)
