FYI the fancy graphics mods for XWA make laser turrets far more accurate and deadly, to the point where if you need to do a bombing run you should turn off your targeting computer :v: and dumb fire your payload. If you don't the capital ship turrets will be able to target and shoot down your torpedoes.

Speaking as someone who played an unknown few thousand hours of that game when it came out as a kid decades ago, patched and not, that behavior has nothing to do with graphics mods. Torpedoes, bombs, and missiles fired at turreted ships when locked on get shot down much like any other target that doesn't evade fire gets shot down. YT freighter turrets when set on autonomous mode also do this. :eng101:

"Not today bootlicker."

I love the difference between cutscene Emon and mission Emon in that. Mission Emon almost bites the line out in anger which is a perfect fit for the circumstances, and cutscene Emon is full-heroic neener neener eat a weiner mode which is a good callback to a cool moment.

That's a good trick.

Man this game really sucks when one enemy guy gets a hard on for killing you literally every time you respawn because you were dumb enough to pick a Support ship and none of your teammates cover your stupid slow rear end ever

No I'm not bitter t:mad:t

That's what you get for expecting teamwork in a team based multiplayer game.
