Asteroids
Asteroids
You remember the classic arcade game, Asteroids?
When I watch two Yatari and a Daycorn home in on an asteroid while I scrape by to lose the missile lock, I always expect it to split into pieces like the rocks in the old arcade game. Am I the only one?

I kind of like the idea of asteroids exploding upon missle impact. This occurence would definitely allow for greater tatics when planning an assualt on enemy turrets or escaping from enemy missles hot on your ship's tail.

Not impossible. It would simply require a more carefully plotted course.pedroski wrote:It would be great but it would be impossbile to move through an asteroid field with missles on your tail and asteroids splitting and hit you constantly on all sides.

Yes. They would.BoxZone_Author wrote:You would have problems of the asteroids becomming smaller and smaller until they were dust. At some point (similar to the asteroids game) they would have to be totally destroyed.

Seriously! I 100% agree with you on that OMJ. However, maybe if the AI could actually shoot the asteroids, they wouldn't be so dumb. Instead of holding their fire when you are behind an asteroid, they'de just OPEN FIRE!!!Old Man Johnson wrote:They already have a tough time with anything involving asteroids.
Yes... I can see this working...
