I think Question #2 is the one that's the problem...I mean, if you don't have a rocket launcher on your ship, the next best thing is to fly around it in circles and make it go BOOM!
It's still a free rocket dispenser even if you don't take the rockets. You could be right though.

I think what it means is that if you wanted a Crescent Warship, you'd view bounty hunters as nothing more than a free one, and same for heavy fighters.
By the way, Mazca, are you Orlando Bloom in disguise?

Exactly. I think everyone else seems to be having a overly strict interpitation...
Originally posted by SilverDragon: By the way, Mazca, are you Orlando Bloom in disguise?
No, I'm not. Where did you pull that one from?
Originally posted by Mazca: **No, I'm not. Where did you pull that one from?:)
Born in the same place. A girl I was talking to a few days ago couldn't talk about anything except Orlando Bloom - specops' best friend - and specops mentioned that he thought you came from Canterbury Kent, as did his best friend's infatuatee.

(E) Sorry, I just don't understand. People use escorts?! I thought that was like training wheels and L plates when you have to have a licensed driver beside you. The only possible reason you would use them would be to hit the max ships in system constraint and slow down the spawning of enemies -- even then it still feels like cheating to make the game easier...
