Arthur, You have brought English teachers everywhere to the brink of despair.

In general, trying to change anything associated with a mouse click may end up with a suboptimal result. Either backup your preference file or be prepared to delete it and start your key assignments over. You may want to look at your mouse setup. If you have extra buttons it may be possible to assign one of the extras to a double click. It depends on the mouse.

This thread has all of the fascination of a train wreck. You know what's going to happen but you can't look away. My dear departed mother was known to say, "There goes an ambulance; let's all say a prayer." See Mom, I did listen. Well in the abscence of prayer, let's keep it civil.

Lots of folk have responded with the obvious, or what should be obvious, your torp your responsibility. To be blunt a friendly torpedo is an oxymoron. Allow me to point out what you don't seem to get. If you are launching from so far away that a friendly has time to get in the way you will likely only hit with one torpedo, and that if the target does not change course or speed. You are wasting a spread. The chance of damaging a red increases dramatically as the range is reduced. You are just adding to the torp spam. Can I get home fries with that?

Dear me. I find your attitude most distressing. I find I am most wroth. And yet I shall not insult you. Your behavior speaks more eloquently than ever I may.

The point of team damage is that it changes the way that the game is played. Many of us consider this to be a good thing. Your team is not responsible for avoiding your ordinance. You are responsible for your ordinance not hitting your team. Nuff said.

If you are considering avoiding gameplay in order to improve your statistics, I have to wonder why you play the game at all.

Sorry, I plead ignorance.

Alpha testers do not agree with all WG decisions. Nor do SuperTesters. I've never heard of an Alpha who's status was changed or who's death pickle was removed for stating their disagreement with WG's decisions. They can get banned for violating the NDA, and worse, but for complaining about things they don't like; it's not a thing. Want proof? Just peruse some of my posts.

Battleships never had healing potions.

Super Testers are not chosen based on their game stats. The player range covers all abilities and so do the testers. It's more about their ability to communicate clearly and knowledge of the game. Trust me, I know my stats. Super-unicum they ain't.

Finding fair and money in the same paragraph rather strains credulity.

Sure, but the player who is damaged gets charged the same maintenance cost, no matter if he's damaged by a red or a green, or takes no damage at all or is sent to the bottom. I don't think the penalty credits are gifted to the victim. If they were, the griefer rats would be swarming out of the bilge.
