No problem at all - just like a giant manta ray. Straight in. Now leviathans - totally different ball game! So, what do you think I might be doing wrong? Am I the only one having trouble docking with dredgers? I haven't really tried it again after my first few attempts. Maybe I just need to practic...

Trie dit again - went close to the sun and got the temp right up to almost energy draining, and moved away to keep the temp as high as possible without blowing up. Eventually they died and I jumped away. Wierd - never had to do it that way before. Cheers for the advice - you live and learn.

Haven't managed to get cooked sunskimming - ever. I always thought that the idea was to cook the little bugge4s by raising the temp as high as possible until tehy start shaking and expire. So you are saying that tehre isa specific sweets pot per star that they die at? Since this latest infestation (...

I usually feel too tight to waste 30 credits on a replacement missile when I can shoot em up with a laser. Must be the Scottish blood in me

[quote="Ahruman"]Davemak, if we do get to use multiple forward-mounted weapons, they’ll almost certainly use a shared cooling system. Well I was thinking along the lines of the different views (front/aft/port/starboard) that do not have linked cooling systems, so why would 2 lasers at the ...

Hours of fun, made dangerous (was supposed to revising for exams). 1990 - Amiga 500 version, went from wire frame to solid graphics, was great. Reached Deadly on that version, m...
