So I guess that means my client (with long packets on) makes all > old clients obsolete? Cause you can see all ships to 256 positions (not > just your own)? I do the head fake all the time, where you position your ship very close to the next ship position so that you can turn very quickly and the enemy won't know what hit them, or when you move to a next ship position but don't move any further than just to where the ship changes position and then move back to the previous position quickly. This move will be impossible agains someone playing with your client. --Niclas
