Lord Dick Tim:
I still run a harpoon on the front of my junker, it's forward momentum and mass allow we to mess up an enemy captains turning or positioning.  It's also allowed me to plow forward with incredible speed.  It takes coordination with the gunner to make it work, but I've managed to get a few kills with it on duel at dawn by pulling ships into the debris.

Thanks!

Not really. The manuvaures themselves are still valid since the basic mechiances have not changed a ton. The big thing we would need to test is the physic/mass changes to ships. This could change the reel in speed, how well ships can be pulled, do larger ships pull smaller ships better now?, etc.

I would love to do another HRD session, but I have been very busy the last 2 months. Hopefully once things settle down I can setup another one. If someone else wants to setup a time I'll do my best to be there.

There's only one thing to change on my post about conclusions and such. The rope will last FOREVER as long as the gunner does not shoot it again. Otherwise, everything seems to act the same. However, the physics was tweaked a little bit so that might affect a few things.

Once my finals are done (In about a week), I'd love to have another session.

Keon:
I'm in. How does hanging from a ship work? Can a ship with a popped balloon hang above the ground by 'pooning an enemy?

Rope lasting forever, or what appears to be quiet a while, is very nice. Don't have to worry about losing it half-way through a maneuver. Now if we could get the harpoon winch to be controlled by the gunner and not automatically reel in we could have a lot more predictable maneuvers.
