It's one Jack and one Screamer due to the speed at which the rockets move thus making evasion of said munitions harder. In addition it also keeps the rockets from exploding on them self's and doing less damage to your target.

Though as the original maker of the MGC I'm sure you knew that.

Heh. I'm sure everyone has their own opinions on what's most important to take into consideration when creating a ship loadout.

Minor correction of a minor correction: crazily enough, the centurion wasn't a commander of 100 men! I learned this on the History Channel just a few weeks ago. This term comes from the armies of the Romans.

A group of eight soldiers shared a tent and ate together. This group of eight was called a contubernium. Eight contubernia made a century [so, 80 dudes]. Probably they started out with 100 dudes, but the Roman Senate cut military spending, huh?

Minor correction of a minor correction of a minor correction: 8*8 = 64, not 80. But since you probably meant most centuriae were made up of 10 contubernia, not 8, the 80 would be correct. Originally a centuria was 100 men, but it was later changed as you say to 80 for most centuriae. However there were exceptions, and a centuria could have anywhere from 60 to 160 men. But the point of my original minor correction was that the Centurion was specifically the commander, not any member, of a centuria.

I refer to my Behemoth with dual concussion mines as "The FunnyMoth", and my Behemoth with dual proxmines as "The Trader Fortress".

There's also Yee Moth Of Capshippin'. That would be a dual swarmer layout for capship turret destruction.

I suspect I'm the only one to use theese nicknames on them tho'.
