How many ways ARE there to drop it? }The }manual also tells you how to land on the carrier the first time but that }didn't stop a dozen crashes for me learning the technique. Same with the }pod. Perhaps, but then he didn't say 'How the hell do you get the pod "close enough" -- every time I try it says "pod landed too far away"?', did he? Folks have asked *precisely* _that_ question in the past, and have been given very nice "How I fly low and slow enough to get it to work" responses.... similarly... }Now, if we want to be mean to someone we can just let them figure out }how to sink the sub/carrier without any help. :-) :-) Again, no question. But there is, of course, a BIG difference between questions about bugs/undocumented hacks in programs like this, and questions that can only arise if one doesn't have ANY of the documentation that came with the game. /bernie\
