Has anyone else noticed that the robots can shoot in a direction they
aren't facing? I was recently wasted by one of those Concussion-Missile
hulks on level 6 Ace (S/W v1.1) because of this: I nailed him with my
level 4 quad lasers hard enough to spin him 90 degrees, so that he was
in front of me facing left; I moved in for the kill (cause I enjoy
watching them explode close up) when he fired three missiles that left
his launchers _perpendicular_ to the direction they were facing. I knew
the little blue bots could do this, but I had no idea that the missile
hulks could too.
