need bombs

[cxc]

When you buy space mines(space/string) or laser stabil you are left with out a bomb.   In order to neut flags need to kill yourself or your teammates and having no bomb at all really sucks.

 

Instead of having bomb energy be 10000 can it be reduced to say 650 or so?  so you can fire a bomb but its kinda crazy to do so.

I've actually noticed this as a small problem, and I think there aught to be anti-antiwarp in the flag rooms so that you can shipchange. Unfortunately, with the way regioning currently is, I can only tell parts of the map to _not send out_ anti-warp stuff, rather than _not receive_ antiwarp stuff. Wish I could solve it myself, but it's the kind of thing where some module will have to be modified.

 

That, anyway, is way more practical than killing yourself. You risk that sudden huge thor splash damage just before you're about to kill yourself, and that kind of sucks, too. Probably not a good idea to cut corners and just give mine-users access to bombs in any shape or form (not counting thors).

That would allow players to simply warp out with flags on demand*.

 

How about a simple ?neut command? Probably would be possible.

 

*) Yes. I know. What you're thinking of will be fixed. I should have time soon.

Hm... ?neut would be useful.

 

If you anti-antiwarp the flagrooms, we'll also be able to lay portals, warp out with the flags, and whatever... so we don't want that

I guess when I said anti-anti-warp, I was thinking strictly of shipchanging, not warping. Shipchanging is possible under antiwarp except in HS - notice how you get a message saying you're antiwarped, rather than the yellowtext notification in the middle of the screen. That's the part I was thinking could be easily modified, but yeah, I should've clarified

If aw did not stop ship changes you get more thor storms. 

 

Of course if you are attacking can always f11, change ship, ?flag (kinda cheesy).

This is more risky on defense but on offense has no risk, either get put back on attacking team or evener will swap you to winning team (bonus).

 

But i really do like the ?neut idea.
