One funny thing I've noticed about the Arilou laser behaviour is that it does not seem to fire at the center of the target ship. Instead, it (often?) fires at the front-left corner or the rear-right corner of the target ship.
I wonder if this is why I still miss sometimes with my arilou shots. It looks like it may be the case. When I miss, it seems like the laser is aiming towards a corner of the ship/sprite that it can't quite hit, instead of the ship center which is closer.
The central hotspot of various ships is sometimes placed away from the ship's true center. Homing weapons aim for this hotspot. I moved that toward the middle of the Yehat Terminator in the last update, but am not inclined to change it for most of the others.
Balance Mod for UQM 0.8 will be released sooner or later. I've had issues with Linux and Windows builds desyncing with each other, and I want to ensure this problem is stamped out before I make any official updates.
