Putting Sanctions On Nuclear Knuckles

Postby Omega Sentinel » Mon Dec 10, 2007 7:51 am

You can no longer enrich uranium to build a nuclear knuckle.

Just toned down strength again and this is where it will probably stay in order to give the weapons more significance and flexibility.

I won't give you guys exact numbers but I'll be honest with you and say that overall on the 1 - 10 scale compared to a months ago strength now does half the damage on average.

Hopefully you will see a big difference immediately as this was actually a problem with the game that had needed to be fixed for a while.

Not if my suggestion is fully implemented, but the comment about half is worrying me

It's half for the overall average of damage delivered.

We can make adjustments if it there are problems.

I have to go catch up on our thread in the planning fourm, Tam. We can discuss it more there.

Does this change also affect how STR boosts Ram?

Not yet. But I'll make adjustments to the tactics as I start adding the new ones.


PS.

Just got out of a mission where I armed my bot with 10 strength and it took him 3 hits to take out a decent level 4.
Seems like a pretty good result since it is toned down to an apparently realistic level:

If you guys are making changes to weapons, might I suggest that any weapon with a recharge of longer than 60 seconds is a massive waste of time that no one is likely to actually use? I always thought the Rocket Launcher had a bad reputation for being slow, but I was floored to find that there were weapons that were much, MUCH slower...

I wouldn't say that they're a horrible waste of time. 90secs+ is pretty much a once per battle weapon, and to my mind there should be a few of those, for roleplay purposes if nothing else.

I almost did that with Kremzeek, but I was afraid a 0dmg value might cause problems for the game engine.

Whats the point of even having the weapon? You could keep missing and have hits with no damage through the whole battle then right? At least make it light to devastating!

If we balanced the weapons to that a 10/10 weapon and 10 strength would be doing in excess of 130% per shot against hardcaSe. Still a bit much i think

Man I go away for months and everythings different. Oh well, time to hit up Tammuz for advice. And Energon donations if I'm allowed to stay. :P
