Star Control II: Earthling Cruiser Laser Glitch

[Maridianokusho]

Not a glitch, obviously a bug: the cruiser's defence laser aims at all that is in range, one shot per each target. So here the laser had to deal one damage at the Marauder itself per shot (forgetting that NO weapon could stop a marauder's ring of fire (except ships and planet or other flame-rings), meaning using the defence laser while the ring spreads need's all battery energy you have and is therfore contra-productive)..

Furthermore, this bug has been removed.
