	It's comes and goes.

	No, had to try out the new explosion/phaser/NEB stuff in a real 
combat situation.  Was fun - would love to have had wintermute (team 
killing bastard he was) and ChrisAZ in as well, but...  It was just clute, 
payne, and myself.

	Sure... send the patch :)

	Really, I have though about this somewhat.  Would have to be a 
whole new game, and I think the parsec engine would be better suited than
q3 (assuming of course q3 source is legally available anyway).

	A billboard might work.  Or the hardcore method of drawing a real 
texture mapped, light emmitting sphere.  The way Celestia renders them 
looks pretty damn cool.

	q3's engine would not be suitable for a space combat game...
