I believe they should be shot down by one | shot(or two). I prefer 2D shooting games with massive weapons, more | enemies, and weak(or no) shield&armor. If your ship can be killed by just one shot, then giving the opponent bigger weapons doesn't inspire any fear in the player. I know when I played Raptor, those ships which shoot the lasers and the fireballs always frightened me more than the other ships -- those shots _HURT_! -- +------------------------+----------------------------+ | Mike Marcelais | mrma...@eos.ncsu.edu | | Moonstone Dragon | Magic: The Gathering Judge | | -==(UDIC)==- | Author of ChrHack 2.3 | +-----------------------------------------------------+
