Yes...I must be deprived. What is a Monty Python manouver?

It's where you move away from the enemy at the same speed that they come at you, staying out of range of their weapons but within range of your own. Its called Monty Python because of the battle cry against the killer rabbit "Run away!"

I've only got a sketchy idea of the killer rabbit, from a Monty Python loving friend at high school. I think he mentioned something along the lines of a "Holy Grenade of Antioch". Can someone explain the whoole deal a bit better? I know the rabbit was evil and very deadly, and that they killed it by running away, but that's about it.

What you do is this:
You start moving away from the enemy. You turn your ship around at him, but you keep flying away due to inertia. At this point, if done right, the enemy will be in your sights, but he won't fire. Now, you fire and kick his butt.
Note that you may have to adjust depending on speeds.
Also, this is a glitch. I personally feel that it is cheating, since the computer has no defense againt it... yet. In Nova, the glitch is eliminated. Woe be to the pilot who tries it there.

What I remember is couple of knights first went in to deal with the rabbit, died, and they used the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch on the rabbit, which was a funny scene.
Arthur: "One, two, four..." Knight whose name I forget: "Three sir!" Arthur: "Three!" (Arthur throws the grenade.)
At least I think that's how it goes...
The movie also consisted of many hilarious "Run away!" scenes, and I wouldn't be surprised if the initial attack on the rabbit did that.
Hope that explains things...

And now, for something completely different!
------------------ "Harmless" combat rating? Blah, I can easily take out unarmed disabled ships sometimes.
"First, thou shall count to the number three. Three shall be the number thou shall count. Four, thou shall not count to. Neither shall thou count to two, unless thou then proceedeth to the number three. Five is right out.
Once thou hast reached three, lobbeth the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch at thy enemy, who, not being in God's sight, shall smiteth."
It goes something like that, anyway.

Mac Man, there are several other moves with distinct names you may me interested in. (I believe David Arthur has the best personal catalog of them.) If you ask him nicely he'll probably post some descriptions. FYI...

Yes, of course, you forgot my favorite rebel move.
The Spearhead :
1- Accelerate to top speed. 2- With primaries and close quarter secondaries (rockets, javelins etc.) blazing, shoot at the target like an arrow. 3- Repeat until shields are down. 4- Fire off long range secondaries while sheilds recharge. 5- Repeat until target destroyed.
This works because either your shields recharge faster than the AIs. or because you maximize your shots and how many you put on target.

BUt it could be a while, because he's gone this month and said his internet access will be intermittent at best, so he might not post much.
