Salvo

[vetta64]

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: 5k

Ships: probably all

Type: Addon

 

Stats:

 

Bomb delay: -40

Bomb energy: +50

Recharge: -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.

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]

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.

salvo with 65 delay would only have 25 delay, then.

 

 

you must not have been here during the cyclone weasel bout.

[»Purge]

Bring back the old cyclone! Those days were fun.

[kid]

it was insane, the frequency with the most weasels always won.

[Rivel]

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]

which is bad imo, rushing is hard enough with those little ships as it is.

[omni]

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]

you realize salvo has always been intended to be a low fire delay bomb, for bombing, right?

[vetta64]

who buys salvo so that they can fire a lot of bombs? Noone I know.

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

Lies! The frequencies with the most competent or rich players (usually the latter) always won.
