Boring lanc's

[tcsoccer and neptune]

1 suggestion:

 

Give the lancaster higher bombspeed, this would support bomblines and more people would want to get a lanc.

 

Another:

 

Develope a bomb that is for use ONLY on the lancaster and leviathan (Most likely L3 with no prox, but shrap).

 

One of those might increase the ammount of lanc's and help basing.

u know why lanc's bomb speed is so slow? cause it used to be with fast bomb speed but lancs get like about 1k to 2k bounty. that's why they nerfed it. altho i do wish lanc does have a special... stuff, not bombs tho, that would be almost pointless.

It's not that lancs are boring (I mean they are, you just sit there and type to your team but anyway) they don't get you any money or exp. There's godda be something to not only make lanc's fun, but to make money/exp from them too.

know your role. lanc is not offensive, it is a super tank. as last reset showed teams will still pile on lanc count to provide insurance against instannihilation, and still held their own, and even got modestly high bounties on their lancs. thus it very much does not need any special treatment nor any boost. i like how you suggested giving a bomb to leviathan at the same time, I question your motives. leviathan very much does not need anything either

 

if people won't pitch in even a small amount of their earnings to you, you can just choose to play another ship. don't let anyone tell you you're killing the flag game by doing this, because they're just greedy and won't themselves lanc.

 

the simplest solutions are as follows, any of these are the most likely to ever be examined and implemented: 1. ?attach giving an auto donation of some small amount of money to the lanc you're attaching to. 2. lancs getting a higher kill reward, higher team kill reward ratio, and or higher leech radius. 3. after the team collectively has earned some amount of money ($30-$100 range) and or exp, the lanc would automatically earn $1 and or 1exp (as subject to higher exp = lower reward like normal.)

Since the leviathan is a heavy bombship, it should have access to all heavy bombs, so if you give the lancaster a heavy bomb, you should certainly let leviathans use it.

[Noobclear Missile]

Since the lanc really doesn't have access to any good guns besides sig, how would a higher gunspeed effect lancing? Or has this been tried before. If it wont work, would a longer bullet time be effective so that the lanc still has to rush forward to shoot but the bullets wont dissapear half way to the enemy.

 

Also I think being able to deny people from attaching to you would be cool. Not practical in the average game, but certain people like to be !@#$%^&*es and attach+stay attached/reattach just to screw over your movement.

Best option is Kilo, ?attach automatically donates like $10 to lanc

Not a good idea because this bomb will likely be a Sig, and for a good lancaster, you would rather get a Sig Armor/Sub/Reac then a Sig Bomb.

Weaken it to a level 2 shrap bomb, and make it cost 49k.

Abusible

[Kilo]

er, how? I mean sure people COULD use it to byp!@#$%^&* the ?give 100 minimum.. but oh no lol? if you were worried about people getting scammed over $10 I'm sure a one-time warning is easily made

[omni]

Making ?attach give lanc money would just cause a shortage of rushers and more fat ships sitting in the back.

[Noobclear Missile]

$10 per summon means newbs dont get to FG since they buy gun+ammo, just to die rediculusly fast until they have no money.

[Unix]

Leech money is insane when you have little to no exp.

[Kilo]

it wouldn't be as high as $10 if it was implemented.

[op2rules]

Wow, then you just hold the attach macro button overnight and you just got muted for life and also gained yourself a friend with 100mil. Brilliant.

[Kilo]

why would you give your friend 100mil? rofl.

[»D1st0rt]

because they are true friends obv

[tcsoccer and neptune]

Indeed.
