Spawning a projectile right behind the fighter (or srm shot) with the same vector as the original shot?

A more prudent one would be to make the weapon fire a burst (2-6 shots) of proportionately weaker shots, so even if random fighters or missiles are in the way, at least a portion of the damage gets through to its goal in the remaining projectiles. Though this may require tweaking the fire delay or projectile speed, depending on what the minimum time the game engine requires between shots, so the Redeemer can still hit moving targets as well as before. You may also have to convert it to flak (and quadruple the base damage, to offset flak's 25% damage against ships) so that it will always disintegrate fighters instead of leaving wrecks that still block other rounds in that burst.
The Cathedral will eventually be replaced with something else anyway.
Can I request the addition of a ship from waaaay back?The Parrot from the (I think) original Starsector+ mod was one of my favorite ships ever.I would love to see it return in some way. I love the way the ships in this mod look now by the way, I haven't played SS in a loooong time.

I love the way the ships in this mod look now by the way, I haven't played SS in a loooong time.If the Parrot is the sprite I'm thinking of, then it technically has made a return in another mod, by the name of Discount Shipyard: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=12446.0However, looking at it, I highly doubt it would get put back into SWP without heavy modification, since it seems to be a very old sprite. Of course that's for DR to decide, not me, so we'll await his judgement. Also I could be completely misremembering which ship the Parrot is, and if that's the case then please completely ignore this post.
