Allright. I just wanted it to look like a real system...maybe overdoing the realism a bit. :P

If you turn off Surfaces, projectiles won't look pixelly when you use large maps. It's possible he doesn't use surfaces for whatever reason, and didn't know that they would get distorted badly.

Yep, for future reference (I thought about doing a large map myself, and that's where I thought of the idea), it may be best to, if you use large maps, put a warning with the download saying to play that encounter with surfaces off.

Allright, I'll do that. I don't use surfaces, since my computer's graphic card can't handle 'em. Normally, I would, but since my own (good) computer is now in repairs because the screen is *litteraly* falling apart, I'm stuck with this dinosaur.

:cry:

Alright, I played it without surfaces, and it's a lot better. It's pretty fun, but not very unique. The ships are better with fixed hp although you should probably remake the first one so the ships have different hp values, that would probably make it better.

I'll remake all previous encounters once I have all glitches worked out. Otherwise, it'll just force me to keep remaking them.

Fair enough. So, are you planning any more in the near future?
