you cannot.  at one point you could, but that was considered a bug (nanofiber nanofiber nanofiber red armor wasn't very good anyway).

Here's something more funny about that bug [from a really long time ago]:
(This one was from a beta of 0.9.9.2)

Do certain enemies have a higher chance of dodging than others? It sure seems like Bruiser Brothers and Arena Masters dodge my rockets more than 39% of the time. (Which is what it should be if they're on the edge of my vision range, given no EE and no mods on the launcher.)

Inherent dodging of projectiles can only be modified through a being's movetime property: this property is never modified for any beings on creation, and is only modified over the course of the game for the player whenever they select the Hellrunner trait. Other than that, whether or not you dodge a given projectile depends on the projectile itself. See this Wiki page for more information (nothing is spoiled there unless you want to experimentally determine the dodging rates of projectiles yourself).

For simple questions such as these, it is recommended that you direct your post to the Quick Questions thread.

I don't know how to put my mortem text in the proper tags.
Mortem text from the latest game can be found in mortem.txt, located in your base DoomRL folder. For older mortems, check the mortem folder for the date.

Figuring out how to use mortem tags can be found in the rules sticky of the Post Mortem forum. If you're still having trouble, let me know.

"Insert Mortem" is currently missing from the full reply form.  We're looking into fixing this soon.

* thelaptop glances at Rimmon

Meanwhile, please insert the mortem tags manually.  The sample can be seen in the rules sticky that Game Hunter put up.

Is the pump time of the combat shotgun affected by Reloader?

Pump time is 0.2 seconds, and is not affected by Reloader so far as I have experienced.

I guess I'll just ask this here:  Why isn't frontal start the default option?  It seems like it's the far more sensible option.

Frontal Start Angel of Berserk on Ultra-Violence or Nightmare is near impossible.

Besides, most of us are just used to not changing the start location setting anyway.

That used to be true, but now that the shotgunners don't start outside of the base you can just use running mode to get the 2 pistol guys then giftdrop everyone else. Of course, that's a bit best case scenario but UV/N! AoB is all about going for the best case scenario.

Frontal mode is more convenient in almost every case, so I also don't realise why it isn't default.
