@Jonno:
The improvement to the torch is very nice, I like it, but still really miss the pixelated rough edges the drill left behind, it was useful in many ways such as drilling down in Elite as a small extra way for protection against long fused grenades being tossed in, preparing hides etc.
And of course, yes, things like Darts won't be possible, as well as the other tactics/moves mentioned with drill earlier in this thread.
There are things about W.M.D I think look great and things that are missing, it really sucks drill won't be included but i'll live lol.
Thanks for the update Jonno!
