the torp is better. if you do a spin move around it, it will turn and keep going after you. the missle just sucks and runs into too many asteroids

Whoops, I was in such a high tech weapons nerdvana that I forgot to vote. Ah well, Rak interpreted my correctly anyway... :rolleyes:

Well, a missile will also turn and keep going after you, and torpedoes can also slam into asteroids. Torpedoes are actually more likely to hit asteroids because of their slower speed and slower turning speed, since missiles are faster. The disadvantage of missiles, however, is their very limited range.

Skyblade... did you know that missiles are attracted to asteriods. :rolleyes:

Yeap, and did you know that torpedoes are slower and have just as much of a chance in slamming into an asteroid? 😉 Torpedoes aren't attracted to asteroids, but their lack of speed often leads them to the same fate.

One thing, Skyblade... Asteriods only exist on the players part of the screen. If you launch a torpedo, it will soon exit the screen and be safe. Missiles will die fast, and are close rnage weapons.

Again, that still links back to the speed issue. When you consider the odds, both weapons have about the same chance of slamming into an asteroid. The lack of speed is the problem with the torpedoes, and the attraction to asteroids and possible jamming is the missiles' problem.

It hasn't been working the past four days, so I'll have to wait on that. I suppose it's an e-mail regarding missiles and torpedoes? It's getting rather old. 😉

Actually, it's about BFS III 😛

Also one about my BB9 graphic.

Alright then. Just bare with me, and I'll try to get to my e-mail sooner or later... You better not be asking for BFS III graphics. 😉

Actually, it is about the BFS III map-

Mac told me to do both maps, but I wanted to make sure you didn't want to do either/both of them. Can I do them both?

Although I can't get to the ship and outfit graphics for BFS III, I do plan on taking care of the maps. I've managed to find a copy of the old Milky Way galaxy graphic in psd format (and I've already got the Sentarus galaxy through), so I could manage keeping the maps updated.

This time, however, I don't plan on placing small ship icons on the map to represent fleets. Since the fleets are constantly moving (and we'll have two galaxies to worry about this time), we will simply keep the map updated by changing the color of a system once it's captured by another government. This will make it more important for members to post their location at the end of their posts.

Okay... thanks. Now, please comment on my BB9 graphic at BB9.

I had no idea you had even posted a graphic there. I'll check it out.

I tried to receive my e-mail, and I received twenty-three messages. But thanks to Outlook Express, it automatically deleted all of them. :frown: You'll have to re-send any e-mails that were sent to my account, and I'll get my dad to see if he can fix the problem.

Rak- I can't seem to find your BB9 graphic. Is it posted inside the topic, or have you simply linked to it?

Heh, that's pretty good. I like how you've mixed some of the EV graphics together, and the background is nice (though a little too cloudy).

You should add a few coke cans and maybe a Dr. Pepper flying around. 😄 😉
