Re: [GZG] FT Vector: Alternative Fire Resolution Distance (Tom B)

Thanks for this post--- I've been thinking about trying AV:T for a
while and hadn't seen a real side-by-side comparison. I'm not
interested in six-decimal-place accuracy, but the fundamental issues
of space are important (ie: vector movement, reaction drive physics,
etc).

I'm still wondering if 3d really adds anything to the tactical feel of
the game.
