Send the excess reps to Israel!

[Exiili]

I do not enjoy getting my little ship bounce around like a ninjafrog on LSD. I also dislike not being able to shoot or burst even remotely properly. Thus I can't understand why every ship has access to 4 reps per death.

The reps aren't just a tiny shock to send you back a little, they are JESUS repels of Uberdom. Someone blows a rep at you while you're flying around going to shop a little and BOOM you're in Alpha Centauri.

This might in some distant way be understandable in the center, but in flagging?

I will demonstrate.

We're going to pretend that there's 2 teams which contist of 4 laggy pushing ships and 1 lanc.

Now at intense basefights we can say that even the laggiest guy rarely survives 5 seconds. BUT we're just pretending, so let's say ..10seconds per life.

8 guys with 4 reps per life, everyone has antideath so, they actually have 8. That makes 64 reps per life.

Some of you might see what's going to unfold here. We're talking about the average of 6.4 reps per second.

3.2 reps from both of the teams.

Sounds lame?

Just see some basing games by yourself - There is rarely points where you can do basic ship stuff like moving or not-bouncing-against-the-wall.

In my opinion 4 reps aren't understanable even at center. It's a repfest over there and it isn't pretty.

 

My solution

 

We will limit the reps to 1 for small fighter ships - wb and shark

we'll give 2 to Bigger ships - jav, spider, levi, terr and weasel

and big fatty can carry 4 - lanc.

 

And with the extra reps we can create forcefield over Israel, so they can pwn terrorists at peace.

Eh.... I guess I see your point.... maybe... well a litte.... meh. Maybe make them a tad weaker or something.... maybe...

Yes I also think 4 reps is waaayyy too many. I think 2 is a good number, and also agree that they need to be weakened. I think maybe we should make it so ONLY the lanc can have 2 close combats since they're always getting thored and stuff.

[Deathboy-evil]

I agree with both of them.

[Fat Cat]

OMG DBE when did you get out of the hospital. That was a pretty brutal car accident.

I think repels have been significantly weakened in the past few weeks. Be happy it's going in the right direction so far. But I do agree that the sheer amount of repelling is still over the top. (It was so even with the stronger repels when you could only have three)
