Hi there!

Hm... I cannot move the water colors independent from
the ships stripes, so if I'd add a sea movement effect,
the ships would also move with it. :-)
The code is just too tight to add even something simple
like
LDA bigcolortable,scannline
STA COLUBK
Even if I had those 6 cycles, this was impossible, as
such a colortable would probably require more than the
available RAM :-)

I'll take care of this when I'm finalizing the color
scheme.

Unfortunately the pure 2 color look is impossible to
achieve due to a kernel limitation:
Since one of the torpedos is the ball, it is forced to
be black like the PF.
All I can do is really either monochrome as it is now,
or single colored as in Sea Wolf 2. I think I'll go for
the b/w approach now.
Greetings,
Manuel
