I don't get the more damage for barrel roll thing. Here is my thinking on this. Let's make more energy come off for a barrel rolls so it limits them. This will cause them to become "not fun" to use at all. I think that is why there were put into the game to begin with, and the constant worry of using up all of your energy would make it a complete chore to use them. I think the energy taken off is pretty good on HD.

That being said, unless the game is sped up, I would like to leave them in just for that reason.


That being said, if the game can be sped up, remove them, they are a nuisance since they still do not work all of the time, or have a delayed reaction, well after the button presses, and the hand has been removed from the pad, it then works except you do not make the roll because it activated way too late wasting a bunch of your energy, and not even getting a speed boost. Yes, I can force it to work most of the time even under this circumstance, but it is a pain.

I still find barrel rolls not to be even near the problem of sideshift though, those freaking things take the feel of wipeout completely away. at least barrel rolls don't mess with the physics of the ship
