Thanks Eth.  I don't think it's a bug in the code, though.  I think it's more of an AS bug.  I boiled it down to like 5 lines of code and it's clear that it's not my fault.

I am happy to send you the code once this is resolved, though - I welcome any help I can get.

Could be something you overlooked, perhaps? Perhaps you typed = where you should've typed == somewhere? (happens to me a lot).
Anyway, I could probably help you aswell but it's not clear what the issue actually is.. could you elaborate on that or just link us to the post that you made about it on some board? :P
What would you give to know the truth?

poor fighter, died in an earthquake :'(.
well thats silly, what was the fighter doing on a planet?

It was a space earthquake lol. Either that or it was a very poorly made fighter that couldn't handle the dangerous conditions of a flash game.  :)
it was...a....uh... flashquake... yeah....  :P

I think he's trying to say he votes for the Probe. Doesn't seem like that great an idea to me, though; you need to be really skilled with the Probe's unique control scheme to make it even somewhat effective in battle.

Oh yes, that would make sense.  Although it depends what your fighting really, the wide guided attack makes several ships completely useless against it unless you have a very skilled pilot.

The Probe is the best ship in the right hands unless your talking zap sats. ("SKURBLOOSH!" nuff said...)

Hmm, I've mised this. Good luck with your game Delta Star and be sure to let us known when you've got something for us to try out!
Round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows

The Probe is only good against the right ships.  Totally useless against Kohr-Ah, Utwig, Supox, Yehat, Mycon, Chmmr, and Thraddash.  I'm not sure how the Arilou and Slylandro range compare to each other, I think the Probe's range is longer.
