New Code Feature for SWC (Awesome Screenies)
If you've ever read the X-Wing books, you'll probably remember that there were several times when one X-Wing would transmit targeting data to the rest of the squad, and they'd all fire at once to take down a cap ship. Well, over the christmas break, I worked on putting this feature into FSO, and here's the result:

It's so much fun to control this much firepower. I feel like a kid in a candy store.

EDIT: Awesome Vid is here. Low FPS is caused by fraps recording at 1400x900 :D

It hit the mining ship so hard it went into a spin!

Actually, that might increase the odds of the TIE/fc being made since that TIE Fighter variant is specifically geared for transmitting targeting data.

Very cool, Turey.
Deuternomy 22:11 explained:

Well there are many different speculations going on about this law about not mixing fibers and at least one explanation claims that it was a symbolic gesture designed to keep a pure sense of culture, people, and religion.  Seperation of crop  in the vinyard, mentioned in Dt. 22:9 and 22:10 seem to reaffirm this idea, though there may be other reasons as well.

And now, an excerpt from the Prayer of Mordecai, the Book of Esther Chapter C (New American Bible Official Catholic version).

Est C:5  You know all things.  You know, O Lord, that it was not out of insolence or pride or desire for fame that I acted thus in not bowing down to the proud Haman.  6  Gladly would I have kissed the soles of his feet for the salvation of Israel.  7  But I acted as I did so as not to place the honor of man above that of God.  I will not bow down to anyone but you, my Lord.  It is not out of pride that I am acting thus.
