probably did'nt explain bug two properly but any time the ship had a collision it would'nt repair the damage, from what I can remember this was quite a well known bug.
I'm pretty sure it isnt my hardware because apart from some well known bugs it ran brilliantly.
Thanks for the replies, looks like the only way to see the changes is too find out for myself.
