Hi all First of all, let me start with the standard opening statement. Way to go guys (and gals?) at Parallax! Incredible game. Just got the registered version last friday. Dammit are those robots agressive! Love it that way. Keep it up. Now that that's out of the way, on to my question. This was touched upon in the FAQ V1.0, so maybee someone is already working on it (or maybee the wonderful people at Parallax could supply the info), but does anyone know the relative strengths of each weapon in the registered version, as well as the (what I will call) 'shield strength' of the opposing robots is? For example... Made up numbers follow Weapon strengths ---------------- Laser 1*laser_level Quad Laser*4 Vulcan 1 per round Plasma 3 per globulole etc. Opponent shield strengths ------------------------- Little orange guy 6 Little blue guy 10 Red Hulk 50 etc. Note to those of you who may have missed it up above. THESE NUMBERS ARE COMPLETE CRAP, UNLESS I GOT VERY LUCKY SITTING HERE MAKING THEM UP. THEY ARE ONLY TO BE USED AS AN EXAMPLE TO WHAT TYPE OF CHART I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. The reason I am asking is with all this talk that the Fusion Cannon sucks, and the fact that I have noticed that quad lasers level 4 seem to be more powerful than the Plasma Cannon, I was just wondering. Note that I acknowledge that there may be some reasoning why this information should NOT be known to the player (you are after all going against a previously unknown enemy), but that's another debate. Thanks all Paul DeCamp
