not quite the same term. its drezz, not tron's Derezzolution. 30 years language drift will do that. drezz can be done to anything that can be slaged. metal, silicates, etc. so i can slag/drezz the ship. treat it like a dilect thing. like when i say ICE instead of ICP. meh, i always liked system shock more then tron any way. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
