No, it probably does. But that's kind of the point. The code needed to use a comma delineated list for the vehicle type field in the compenhancments file is not the same part of the code needed for the targetting and vehicle type field in the components file. So it's probably not a simple matter of reusing exsisting code. At least you can't know it is without seeing the code, which none of us can.

Don't get me wrong. The point I was trying to make was not that it wasn't a change worth making, just that you can't say it's a "minor" change neccesarily. You have no idea how complicated of a change it might be.

He has not.

As far as I know he doesn't read the beta forums looking for bug reports and requests. He Posts there when he has a new patch, and we discuss things amongst ourselves. Requests posted there aren't likely to get any better response then your emails.

Yes I do Geo. Just because you keep saying that doesn't make it true.

Well I don't want to keep bugging him about it.

I've just done something about it...

Would you forum goers mind playtesting this for me before I send it off to Aaron, its getting late over here.

I made a file like that months ago... I sent it to Aaron, and that is what I was wondering whether he had put it in or not.

It is right here.

4. Fixed - Ships were not receiving experience for kills made with seekers.

Gloink! That's going to change the nature of weapon choices significantly. I'm fairly sure it will be for the better.
