List of oddities

[Phoenix-D]

These are those things that are amusing or annoying, and probably bugs..but aren't worth bugging MM about by themselves. So I figure we can add them into a list and sent -that-.

First few:

-hitting yourself with a mine will make Terran units fire on you (I suppose because you shot a terran ship..)

-the Terran Starbase- and maybe others- can shoot itself with its missiles.

-no way to mod the radar display to show other than full, 300, 150, or 75 (I think)

-non-commented data files (SE4 had a listing of what everything does at the top of the files..SF lacks this)

-no way to make weapons that are more accurate, or that have minimum ranges

Speaking of which, what the heck does the emmisive armor damage resistance do, anyway?

EDIT: a few more..

Why does the manual list the out-system speed slowing as conserving fuel..when you can't even mod in energy useage for anything other than a weapon? (or maybe a shield capacitator pod..)

Cloaking. I have seen sensors to detect cloaked ships..I have yet to see a cloaking device.
