Rocket Improvements

[gnadler]

At the moment the rocket takes over the camera view and let's the player control it. While the player flies with the rocket, the spaceship remains unmoving.

A lot of different, fun games are possible with such a rocket, but for a deathmatch-type game this could be a bit hindering.

In such a game, the rocket would need to fly by itself, without control by the player (which means, the spaceship can always be moved, which results in a more difficult target). But this rocket is a new one (can be based on existing one).

The rocket would meet the following requirements: 1) player defines a target for the rocket and shoots the rockets 2) rocket is controlled by a AI which follows the target, trying to reach it and explode, destroying the target.

Further Ideas: *Make an overlay screen on the screen which shows the camera of the rocket (to see what course it takes, etc)

In a later stage there could be different rockets-AIs, selftargeting, exploding in the vicinity of enemies, very sophisticated rockets, stupid rockets etc…

*maybe some sort of "control-sharing" which lets the player make corrections to the flightpath of the rocket (e.g. to evade an asteroid) (I know, this is not very easy possible but I wrote it down nonetheless)
