A newbie question if ever I saw one. I'll answer it anyway. The monty pithon manuver is when you turn your ship around and "run away" from your enemy (hence the name) while fireing your turrets or guns. Because of a glitch in the computer AI, the enemy ship won't fire at you while you're moving away from it, even if you're in range. Hope that answer's your questions.

How come I've only been able to pull it off once, and that by accident?

"Arthur Philip Dent?" pursued the alien in a kind of efficient yap.
"Er...er...yes...er...er...," confirmed Arthur.
"Your're a jerk," repeated the alien, "a complete kneebiter."

Because in version 1.0.2 the AI glitch is fixed. Is that what you are using?

Monty Python manoeuvre:-

Where you allow your opponent to chase after you, firing off all his missiles and other secondary weapons. Then, just when he isn't expecting it, you hit him with a large fish, and knock him into a canal.

Yeah, I haven't had much difficulty with with version 1.02. The only trouble I've had is with the new ai having afterburners, which is a fun challenge.

I like it as it is more challenging. It makes a more interesting game.

Is the answer to this question 'no'?

You're right, it is more of a challenge with smarter AI and no longer being able to destroy ships faster than yours with no trouble at all with the monty python.

What a ****! what is this 1.0.2 version? Where can i found it (I mean, without registering...).
Please answer quickly, I need to fight better AI ships, but i don't think this post would remain longer...

So, it is forbidden to write f+u+c+k on this damn new boards, but is it possible to write it in French: "Putain de merde" . It was nice, wasn't it?

Version 1.0.2 is the latest version of EVO... go look in the add-ons section, and watch your language... trust me, I know. points at his karma
