Hmm.. I just noticed that DiamondHawk has an unusually low survival percent for it's score. So I wonder, does this mean the core targeting of Diamond is better than the DiamondHawk test indicates, but the bulletpower is suboptimal, or does it mean that Diamond's core targeting wasn't that great at the time of DiamondHawk but most other bots of similar score are too conservative with their BulletPower. I'm pretty sure one of the two is true and it brings up an interesting question I think... --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 19:23, 10 September 2009 (UTC) | Hmm..

- I'm really not sure, and it will be tough to figure out since the gun fundamentally changed after DiamondHawk 1.0. The DH 1.0 gun is definitely pretty weak (which is why I immediately followed it with gun work), but I thought the energy management was decent, and I'd found points there in the 1.24* versions. Unrelated, but I think the current gun has a lot of room for improvement via simple tweaks to bullet power and gun dimensions, since I haven't tweaked that stuff at all since getting my Shadow/Melee Gun working right (I think we need a term for this). --Voidious 20:45, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
