Absolute Annihilation 2.11

I think the BLoDs could use that "super awesome" look you want. Or use the Monkeylord. I haven't tested it but I think a beam laser set to "big laser" looks like the beamcannons in Freespace 2?

Another issue to address: Marauders are too fast and more importantly, they blow up ridiculously large for their size. I mean comon, those Marauders can just crowd around bigger L3 mechs and get blown up, acting like crawling bombs. If they blow up this big, at least make Karg and Razor's explosions more damaging. Also, they can outrun Pyros, which just doesn't seem right as these are supposed to be big heavy ass mechs.

Anyways, my post seconded (thirded?) the protests about the removal of the LRPC ships. There was absolutely no reason to remove them - it gave players in the water a way to strike back at players with LRPCs, without being unbalanced.

But land-based Bertha versus LRPC ship? The land-based one wins, I guarantee it. In my experience, the land-based guns seem to be unusually accurate at pegging large ships (Which include Battleships, Flagships, and, surprise, the LRPC ships!). Whereas shooting an enemy Bertha emplacement? The shots go all over unless you have LOS, basically.

And I haven't even brought up the fact that players on land can build Shield Generators to defend their base! Whereas players in the water have to just hunker down and take that punishment. (Granted, a lot of their important structures are underwater, but Bertha shots still damage those if the shell explodes above them.)





Also, I recall the initial changelog saying something about removing the "Requiter". What the hell was that? I've never heard of it.

Monkeylord would be fun to have xD. It would be one of those toys, you build when you want some special way of killing a camping nub ^^.

Make the Juggernaught into a VTOL

Its a mobile tac nuke launcher for ARM, built by the gantry.

Its the core tactical nuke, not the arm emp ^^

And whoever mentioned the maurader being too fast / explosion being too big was right, its funny until you're on hte receiveing end

[Drone_Fragger]

Its MEANT to be fast. Its a fast assault mech. Although, yes, the explosion does need toning down a bit.

[Machiosabre]

The explosion makes it fun though, you can't ever have a lot of them close together but if you have one in someones base it's still an awesome bomb

[Cabbage]

not as fast as they currently are drone, its pretty much on par with an AK, and thats just silly.

[Drone_Fragger]

Lies, Its fine.

[Cabbage]

so you're saying its fine for an anphib, L3 attack mech, wich packs a big punch and has a deadly explosion to be just as fast as an AK?

[knorke]

just make it really expensive!!111

[Caydr]

I'm reducing its explosion size, but I'm happy with its speed. That's the way it was designed to be.

[Drone_Fragger]

Yay.

Anyways, There are plenty of things faster than Aks.

Can you put a max range on the vipers in the next version? One viper shouldn't be able to shoot up an entire base halfway across a 16x16 map by FPSing it.

Granted, it does little damage, but it's still a pain in the ass losing all your T1 energy structures.

[Machiosabre]

are you sure you're not playing some really old version? because I remember that being fixed.

[Roseo]

It just happened in a 2.11 game.

[Cabbage]

its still possible, had someone FPSing a viper on Q20 not too long ago

[Snipawolf]

Ain't a bad idea, I think it should stay, cuz It forces players to think, a mediumish ranged missile launcher made into a artillery is good thinking...
