vetta64 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Honestly, this was the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning, which is kinda of sad. Do away with salvo and replace with. Cyclic Booster Buy price: 35k (reasonably high price)Sell price: 17k (or whatever)Exp: 5kShips: probably allType: Addon Stats: Bomb delay: -40Bomb energy: +50Recharge: -1 The number can change based on what works, but the idea is to get rid of salvo, but you can still use a different bombs and buy better bomb delay be using an addon space. Example, I could buy falcon, and end up with a domb delay of 90-100, but I don't need to have salvo just because it is the only bomb with good delay. Or, I could upgrade Tacnuke so I can waste my energy faster making it easier for people to kill me. Just a thought.
Dr Brain Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Addition like that really wouldn't work for all bombs. There's no reason not to buy something like that when you've got tac, since the energy difference is minor.
vetta64 Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Posted December 31, 2008 the energy difference is minor but the player would still not be able to fire more than two tacnukes in a row since it would depleate too much energy. Making them vulnerable to attack, so it still has downsides. It was just a thought anyway.
kid Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 salvo with 65 delay would only have 25 delay, then. you must not have been here during the cyclone weasel bout.
»Purge Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Bring back the old cyclone! Those days were fun.
kid Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 it was insane, the frequency with the most weasels always won.
Rivel Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 He said do away with salvo, so there wouldnt be one. Also the addon will have a impact on rushers because they will have 1 less addon to use.
kid Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 which is bad imo, rushing is hard enough with those little ships as it is.
omni Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 This kinda thing has been suggested before but I don't think it'll really work. Maybe if you could make it applicable only to certain bombs, but that'd be too complicated and not worth the time.
Kilo Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 you realize salvo has always been intended to be a low fire delay bomb, for bombing, right?
vetta64 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 who buys salvo so that they can fire a lot of bombs? Noone I know.
Sharpflame Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 who buys salvo so that they can fire a lot of bombs? Noone I know. I used to like salvo on levi, if you could aim you could take out any ship willing to attack you, I thought it was useful on jav too with phaser/salvo... salvo is pretty good as-is
Syrith Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 it was insane, the frequency with the most weasels always won. Lies! The frequencies with the most competent or rich players (usually the latter) always won.
