Neon - thanks for the feedback ... funnily enough I was thinking about playing with trajectory myself today .... might give it a go. I'm going to check the AI setting in my test missions .... think it was veteran, but may have been elite. Very useful pointers. As for pausing the game ... think it would break up gameplay too much.
Any progress on presenting the readout in deck gun view would be much appreciated .... although I have just realised it may not be that useful because it can only present 4 digits i.e. ranges upto 9999 m. My main issue with the accuracy occurs at 10km and over.
Still ... your feedback has given me other avenues to investigate ... so thanks
