Hi all,
I'm trying to find an old artillery game in space.
It takes place on planets, and you control circular space ships.
There are many futuristic weapons, and you can launch yourself from the planets.
The planets have gravity that needs to be taken into account when firing.
There is a hot-seat mode, and pretty sure there is single player.
Please help!

Unfortunately, no.

The game I remember was sort of like the Worms games.
You had one permanent map you were fighting on, but your view was smaller than the whole map.
On the map there would be randomly generated planets of different sizes and gravitational pulls.
You controlled only one saucer-like spaceship (I think it was saucer-like) that was grounded on a planet.
This ship could be launched from the planet, but it would have to land wherever you shot it.
The object was to simply blow up your opponent - which was tonnes of fun in the hot-seat mode.
Aside from regular weapons that did increasing amounts of damage, there were weapons that did no damage but would affect the planet - like propelling all space ships off the planet.

I don't really know what else to add to the description.
That's all I remember!
I know our memory is the absolute worst thing when evidence and correct accounts are needed, but it's all I have. :bleh1:

Well, video clearly states that it's WarheadsSE (http://www.warheads.net). That means second edition, aka "remake".

No, I dunno where can you get first edition. :)

With the name, I think there's a copy of it somewhere in my archives.
