ive done it wendel's way. as i suspected the problem remains. while the placing of the arcs around the ship, and there rotation to keep the arcs in perspective, front shield arc @ front of ship as you rotate, the collision doesnt work.
its because each image is drawn at ship.x ship.y
when the collision works for each arc, i draw the shields arcs at offsets of the ship x and y.
drawimage ship.x, ship.y-50
for example is for the front shield to put it at the front of the ship.
but i cant get the shield arcs to rotate and keep perspective, when i draw the images that way.
