If stuff can go down with one lucky shot, the best building tactic would be to
have a huge army of spread out [armed] minifigures.

Not really, minifigs get splattered pretty quick whether the shots are lucky
or not, and they're also relatively slow.

Question .... do minifigures have to be in color? Spacemen usually have the
planet icon with the spaceship orbiting it. I have 1 broken torso with that
insignia. (And a ton of other misc. stuff.)

The rules aren't very strict in that regard, they're only so you can tell
different troop types apart (i.e., the only requirement for being a Scout is
to be bald and wear no hat).  Usually you want all your troops to be the same
color (or be standing on stands of the same color) just so it's easy to tell
which side they're on, but it's not necessary.  They don't have to be space
minifigs either.  You want to make it clear somehow whose team they're on and
what troop types they are, but you can do that however you want.

1) A large flyer can carry no more then 4 weapons. Is this 4 points worth of
weapons? (1 MK 1 explosive is 4 points.) Or is it 4 weapons period?

4 Weapons period.  Although, that's a dumb rule, I meant to change it.  It
should say, Flyers can have as many weapons as their Class Number (i.e., 16
weapons for a Large Flyer).  That'll be changed when we get the web version
for bw2000 up.

2) Do cannons, machine guns, and lasers count as a "weapon?"

Well, yeah.

3) I need the URL for the 2000 edition rules of Brik War. (Hint hint.)

What's this?  But yesterday you said:

Trust me, I know these things :)

Well, that's where you'll find them! :)

They're under the link for The BrikWars 2000 Project.  This will take you to
http://www.teleport.com/~rayhawks/revision.htm ,
from which page you can view chapters of the 2000 edition.

I hope you weren't hoping for an html version, because frankly it's not done
yet!  We're done up through chapter 3 and it's looking real pretty, but we're
not releasing the URL to the public until more of the details have been worked
out.  We ended up making a lot of changes to the supposedly 'finalized' text.
Also the site's starting to get pretty large, I might have to move it to
another domain before I publish the bw2000 html to the web.
