Hey, I wonder if anyone has compiled a list of "hidden facts" of SE IV. I mean things like

- "special" weapon to hit modifiers that are not revealed either in the manual nor the game menus themselves (Wave motion gun +30%, Torpedoes ???, etc.)
.

Hmm. 'Kay, see, anyone can read the text files and find out. There's been a couple lists like this. They should all be in the newbie faq, for examples, it being so huge.

- fighters can leave a solar system by ordering
them to attack the warp point
.

What? Ohh.. gotta try that when I get home. Ohh. Ahh.

- the use of all those other weapons that are obviously useless because they have a ridiculous damage/(fire_rate*size) ratio
.

Question comes up often. Answers are -- Role-play. Surprise and confuse an enemy. Examples for modding. Search on specific weapons you think it would apply to, it's all here -- back and forth.

... add your own, I’m sure people would like to hear them.
