Reminds me of when i went to GW1, 2 friends got tattoos with *dessert rat* underneath a Jerboa (mouse/gerbil from N africa) on their shoulders.

Is that like a rat on plate with some whipped cream on it?

Sorry for the terrible OT, just waiting for the expansion like the rest of you. [:D]

Mmmmm sounds tasty....jerboa are as fast as speedy Gonzalaos so not easyto catch. I did eat Penguin in the S Atlantic tho after they attacked over a Minefield, sneaky little critters.....

I am seeing a recurring theme here... did you just have a little one, or are you suggesting used diapers as a new monster for DW?
I would be scared of a used diaper attacking my ships!!!

So your argument is that it's actually useful no? [:D]

If I may be so bold as to speculate on what another man means...
I would say
Shark7 is not saying it is useful, he is saying it is a weapon of Mass destruction... [:D]

Why would you want it? I don't see how it would improve the game. And besides which - what difference is an arc? It's not like an airplane that has to keep its heading and speed to keep flying.

Arcs would prevent ships from bringing all their guns to bear at all times, but I don't necessarily think it would help DW.

More buggy behavior, more combat and formation code to write. It would require a lot of alterations to how the game does combat.

Something better left for DWII or DWIII - it doesn't feel to me to be something that belongs in an expansion pack.
