well obviously they explode in front of your "hip" they recognise your typing is bad and turn on you.

I love the nomad fighter, its so fun to fly.

HElp I mean it !!!!!

You shouldn't be so demanding, people might not want to help someone like that :
Anywho, detonation_dist should not be set to 9999. The number basically means how close the missile gets before it explodes, so you're telling it to explode once it is within 9999 meters away from the target, and in 99.9% of all cases when you fire the missile you are well within the 9999 range

I just wanted a torpedo that I could target the Newark Station be 50k away and fire. And hit it too . I could use something with a 5-10 second delay... And a big explosion. If only we had a magnifier now that would be awesome...

detonation_dist has no effect on how far away you can fire the torpedo from

Why does everyone want to blow up Newark Station?

signature.exe

I am awesomer than you.

It was the first thing I ccould think of at the moment...
Everyone has some attachment to Newark...
