Agri: Yes there are, but you do not fly them. You can watch them blow a pirate base. I didnt really have a chance though, I was busy fending off the stupid pirate occupants.

The so called 'torpedo bombers' in the game are normal fighters equipped with torpedoes. No special treatment is required. In fact, ignoring them seemed to have no effect on the mission at all. The system, of have different types of shields (Gravitron, molecular, positron or the whatnot) and the weapon types that supposedly has an advantage or disadvantage against the different types of shields, can easily be ignored all together and still beat the game relatively easily.

Lev Arris, did you feel scared at all?

Speaking of neet and interesting things to find...I was in the Blood Dragon "HQ" sector...Chakoto or somthing like that (not even close with the name )...only accessable via two jump holes and I decided to fly into the one that led to the really really romote sector with zero lanes in it. I've always wanted to goto one of the stars so I flew towards the Red Dwarf in the system and as I got radiated I stopped and turned around to find a bunch of Kushi navy ships barring down on me.. I killed them and low and behold I spotted a what looked like a jump port. (not on the map) ... flew over there and there was a destroyer and some more fighters.. the jump port was actually under construction (base building it and everyting) .. course since your aligned with the Blood Dragons at this point they all opened fire...lucky for me there was three of my own side patrolling..so they joined in with the initial fighter wave..then I went up to the port and inspected it..the damn thing was being build to goto the Blood Dragon Sector (unknown to the Kushi Police or Navy --- thus this is bad ).. so I tried to destroy it..no chance since the thing is huge and my puny fighter weps are uncapable of damage to it...tried to anyways but about seven fighters launched from the battleship...my support was gone..I ran back to Kyoto Base through the jump hole.....

Reason this is cool is because in no way was I meant to find this...this was all exploration...with that in mind I'm inclined to beleive that there is A LOT of hidden stuff...I just think it woulda been cool that me finding this woulda sparked a mission for the Blood Dragons to actually take it out.
