Status: offline 		man, if that story is correct, you have to say "bummer"...shoot 6 fish at a freighter, only to have them all be duds, then get whacked by the merchie deck gun? ugh...

hehe...makes me wonder if we should lobby for sys damage being caused by dud torps...the story claims one of the duds disabled the merchies engines...
