I have noticed what I think is a bug in sail on the 4.2 tape.
First, for a normal player, double shot takes two turns to load.
I guess this is realistic, but it makes double shot only marginally
useful.  Now when you play the computer, an interesting thing
happens:  When you are in close quarters with a computer-operated
ship, the ship fires double shot *every turn*.  This doesn't seem
fair.  Has anyone else noticed this, and is it truly a bug?
I am 8 of the top 10 scores in sail.log.  No one but the computer
will play with me.  And the computer cheats.

A final question:

Is there enough traffic here to warrent a net.games.sail?
