I've incorporated a lot of British vernacular into my brain, but this one continues to confound me.


I think, in this case, piss refers to alcohol.  

I'm fairly sure you knew that already and are, naturally, taking the piss yourself. ;)

Um, you guys can test this is the mission with the Belisarius. I think that's the first or one of the first missions. Just fly over to the Deimos and put a couple of missles in it and wait until it's taken out. You'll see you get the kill for it even though you've put maybe 1% dmg on it.

So when you say, "Boy, she really took the piss out of him!", it means somebody stole his drink? :wtf:

No it means she was "mocking" him in that case.

But that'd be odd, cos what comination of dialects would use the phrase 'boy' and 'took the piss' like that?

Nice location BTW, Wildfire. There's an Aussie bar near me called that :D

Does anyone know how this would work with the fighterbeam code? Does that count as a beam weapon and thus not a scoring weapon?
