Yea... lil ships is going to be hard.. i mean (What ever you have on to effect+17)*bomblevel (YIKES) even a thor, it's going to hurt more then the usual 770 bomb damage, and with thors you are not really that safe, along with bomb splash, of course staying back like 500 feet from the team like unix does is safe while he is spamming photon is a great chance to survive. Team killing the team then saying it's not your fault for them being in the way of your bombs.. Edited March 17, 2011 by Wolfie

That sounds kind of unlikely. Bombdamage = 'maximum' damage = 770. All +explodepixels will do is make it more 'likely' you get hit for that much.

Removed prox from Phoenix Missile.

Made Nacelle unbuyable while I consider overhaul/removal.

Wolf, the radius is increased of the damage, not the bomb damage itself.

 

And the way I was using photon in base, is a similar way you will need to play if you plan on getting Mole Shield. Look at how Serpent is playing, he plays extremely defensively, not caring about his teammates getting in his space mines.

[Cheese]

Removed prox from Phoenix Missile.

 

did you change fire delay/cost?

 

if not, will you be refunding people who have it and no longer want it?

[Unix]

No prox actually makes it op. It's essentially a faster cluster bomb, but at half the cost.

This. Although 'OP' is one step too far in my opinion.

Cluster does a steady 50 extra bombdamage on direct hits, ignoring the splash advantage in base. Its inactiveshrapdamage is a minimum of 2 times as powerful, and with booster three times more powerful.

Changes will be made if necessary, but I'd probably take falcon over phoenix, for centering, myself.

 

The refund demand is cute though. People who bought it for prox should explain why they got it over Heat Reaver.

Ignoring the fact that I warned plenty of times that all of the new items are changed at will..

[PlayWolf]

Falcon is pretty great to use.. I'm more of directed to the HE missile though.. great for centering and basing..

Holy crap. Nanomite Swarm takes 1500 kills + a kill for each death? I thought it was 'your deaths count as kills' and I was like hey, that's not too bad.

 

But the way it really is is nuts.

A little bird told me that someone's already finished Nanomite in 2 or 3 days.

[P Nut]

That guy plays 24/7. Isolated incident.

[Jareth]

The only thing that I don't like about Nanomite is that it advocates a play style similar to Cheese's. We all know how annoying it is to have somebody who is only playing to survive on your team.

[PlayWolf]

Well nothing much you can do with the explodepixes changing on you due to the type of bomb the opposing is using, thors, and bullet damage.

[Cheese]

sold the crap known as phoenix which spidernl continues to make worse

cheese -$45000

[P Nut]

Spider, please keep up with your change log. Thank you.

[Cheese]

also, if youre going to say any item you have added so far is a 'development item', dont have standard sell prices

if theyre bought for 60k, theres no reason you should be forced to sell them at 20k whenever spidernl decides to make them worse

[PlayWolf]

It is why I haven't really tried out the items myself..

Maybe phoenix but that was about it..

Maybe someone has already suggested it but a field that acts like an EMP blast. It'll last for only a second and causes engine shutdown for a second to those caught in the radius. Probably have to make it a sig mount with some negative aspects to balance it.

I agree. Induction is quite useless with all its debuffs.

The same people who would buy a recharge-focused power strip for losing half of Faraday Shield?
