Star Explorers Updated to Version 5.3.6a
So if you are a new player, probably just stop reading after this first paragraph. Just know there was a bug and now it is fixed :)
...
Are they gone?
Okay so what happened is when I updated all the weapons a while back, and allowed bipedal aliens to carry different types of weapons, I added a variable that lets the game know if a particular rocket is coming from the player or not. So the ancient alien blaster weapon is treated as a rocket in the script, but I forgot about this and failed to included that updated variable for blaster shots. In effect the game did not think the blaster should do any damage to enemies.
Watch me blow up some rocks...

The game also was failing to show the right texture for the blaster. This should be working now as well.
I hope you enjoy the ancient alien blaster and all the fun that entails...
