I agree, hyperspace would not be a big help. Shields seem better to me in
Space Duel that rolling the "death dice" on hyperspace - you've got about a
1:4 shot at blowing up regardless of whether you appear in a mess (if you are
going to have hype the same as it is in regular Asteroids.
How about 2 or 3 shots to kill a mine - Gotta keep some challenge there,
don't want to turn Duel into a "baby piss" game....
