I was talking about both. I expected damage/round (as in each missile) but instead was rudely suprised by the fighter-esque cumulative damage.

Serves me right for being a smug bastard, sitting behind my shiny Crystal Armor. Yeah, the Dbious Guide is quite helpful, and in fact was the source of said smugness. When I found out how CA works I thought I was safe when I saw that an individual missile couldn't penetrate.

But thats what I like about this game. It still manages to suprise me every now abd again.

That it does.

As soon as I think I have a handle on something, something comes up which surprises me.

Makes the game real interesting.
