Am I the only person to have never seen the baseball bat effect with the Colossus? Jesus.

Play the mission after bearbaiting, where the colossus engages the sathanas, and watch in awe as a 6km long object with the density of water swings out with excentric acceleration.
actualy, mabye not.

Um... I did that earlier today. Not only is the big C not ordered to shoot the Sath for some odd reason(is there a fix for this, or should I extract the mission and reorder the C to do so and then put it back in the VP?), but no, it doesn't swing around at all.

You must have told your fighters to ignore the Sathanas.  This makes every friendly ship ignore your target.  Even ships you have no control over.

I just fixed that in CVS.

At least, I assume it was a bug.

He fixed the bug when ships other than your wingmen ignore the target. They should not ignore the target as you cannot order them to ignore the target (i.e. you cannot tell the Colossus to stop firing at the Sathanas). Just like in vanilla FS2
