      1. You can get HUGE amounts of weapon space without comprimising cargo (given enough money). Just sell all your weapons, buy as many cargo bays as you can, then buy as many weapons space upgrades as you can, then repeat. When you can get no more, sell all the cargo-bays and buy as much weapons as you can! Don't go for stuff that runs out of ammo (except needle missiles as they have zero mass...). Then sell all the weapon space upgrades...

      2. You can also, in theory, have an infinite amount of both needle missiles and fighters. Just cripple a ship with fighters/missiles on board. As they both have technically no mass, you can have loads! With a UE cruiser I managed to get a fleet of 20+ Kraits. Fire 'em all out and you can dominate any planet that takes your fancy... with the maximum number of ships on the screen, they can't do nowt.

      Have fun!

      Heh, yes...The wall. I find the barrier rather annoying when I'm being chased by swarms of fighters. They can suddenly rain heavy rockets and energy fire on your stuck ship...

      Another very annoying thing is: when you have a destroy all ships mission and that last fighter is actually past the wall........

      I hate it when that happens! I've only had it happen twice, but it wasn't a least bit funny. You spend hours destroying every ship, only to find that the last one is out of your reach... ๐Ÿ™‚

      Last time that happened to me, I just landed and the mission ended anyway. I think that only works if the ship out past the wall is a fighter, though.

      Aben -- There's only one problem: You can't sell either Mass Expansions or Cargo Bays. Unless I'm misinterpreting something you said (which is entirely possible), your theory has a problem.

      Both of these "did you know"s have been known about for a long time...as well as the "invisible barrier".

      It's good to know people are still discovering things on their own, though. ๐Ÿ˜„

      You have to kill a ship damned fast, for it to have fighters still on board by the time you have disabled it. However, you can use a tractor beam (or perhaps a repulsor beam) to drag a disabled fighter back over its disabled mothership. Then, when you board the mothership, the fighters are listed as 'ammo' available for salvage.

      Under 1.0.2, you need the right launcher (bay in the case of fighters) or the ammo doesn't show up as available for salvage.

      Of course, only UE fighters and Voinian heavy fighters can be captured with this trick. Kraits and Crescent fighters don't disable (they just blow up), and there's no such thing as an Emalgha fighter bay.

      UE Cruiser, full phase weaponry, firing at a UE Carrier from right under it. I average on getting 3 UE Fighters per time, to result in a total of 54 UE Fighters when I gave up. I conquered the entire galaxy, got sick of it and went back to my invincible Crescent Fighter.

      I've never yet tried this. I just did it with Javelins and sold them, and repeated it until I got loads of cash ๐Ÿ˜„

      Did you know that if you spin the ship around at 2X while trying to scoop hydrogen atoms out of space that your fuel tank seems to fill up faster even though it's not?

      did you know that you could destroy a lot of ships, then go to the "rescue Voinian Defector mission from Pax Station" but, once you are on Pax Station, proceed to the bar and join the Voinians, and then do the entire Voinian mission string with the Voinian defector in your cargo bay all the time- and he never gets caught!! ๐Ÿ™‚

      I've never tried it, but I know it can be done, and it seems pretty funny...

      God bless,
