Dang, it's too bad you can't edit these messages; I felt I had to clarify a couple of things...

I meant to add that this is no big deal and would probably take up a bit more memory if towers were assigned to appear in certain places each and every time (I'm not a programmer, though, so I might've gotten a term wrong, but I'm probably on the right track there).

It's tough

Note: what I meant is that this can disorient you, when your crosshairs suddenly switch from the left to the right side (or vice versa), which could make you volnerable to incoming enemy fire...just having your site switch sides doesn't take out a hit on your shields.

Ok, carry on, nothing more to see here folks, move it along...
