Hello, I've been reading David Drake's Lt Leary series, and it is very similar to this game. One thing that would make for interesting game play would be adding the velocity of the launching space craft to the velocity if it's weapons. Higher velocity could add damage, make unguided missles harder to dodge. Just a thought, I realize this might be hard to do, please add any thoughts to this post ;D zenriderx

This is already what happens, apart from self-guiding weapons and damage changes.

as antz said this already happens it is most apparent when using flares though since they have such a lower velocity then the commonly used energy weapons.

more damage wouldn't really make much sense for energy weapons seeing as most of their damage is being caused by how hot the ball of super heated plasma or what have you is and flares use explosives that do not have a impact on velocity.

aside from rails if we had a projectile weapon like my suggested inuebis mini-gun then damage changes would make more sense /end shameless plug
