Re: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] Question to you all.....



If you want to be nasty you can say  beam weapons can only be fired in the direction of the primary burn as they have to stay on target for the majority of the turn to do damage.

Key thing is a fun game--we can all live with some degree of
less-than-realism. I think turn/thrust/turn (with unlimited
turns) detracts from a) the thought required for
maneuvering, and b) the variety of ship designs. I could
nonetheless live with things the way they are, but I would
want St Jon to bless a batch of Official Vector designs.
