Yeah, but that is why it has automap! I think it's just so you can wreak 
some havoc and destroy things. It's also good for dogfights w/ robots, 
since it will add some different sounds than just lasers 'n stuff. But my 
all time favorite thing to do is to sneak up on my friend, and when he is 
about to pass one I shoot a flare to break the thing (to warn him, or 
scare him), then promptly waste him. Kinda freaks them out, ;-)
