Would it be possible to have it land on the flat area on the right? That would be backflipping awesome.

I've been thinking a bit about the problems of static, defensive gameplay, and the best way to prevent it, at least as I see it, is twofold.

First of all people should have early and good acces to artillery that has more range then defensive emplacements. Artilery needs to be made so that it is ...

First of all, you can't have fast aircraft, at least not if we're going to keep the current concept of sectors. A sector in quantus is only going to be several kilemeters across at most. Any fast aircraft would need the entire dome just to make a normal turn and flying in a line for a short time ...

QUOTE (Sushi @ Mar 2 2009, 03:55 AM) Really, what I want to know is why having lots of rocks in a sector brings the game engine to its knees in the first place. I don't see any reason it should: it certainly shouldn't be any worse than entering a sector with 50 fighting players in it. Does anyone ...

Wait, Panda's open source, right? So couldn't you take a look as to why that specific function is so slow, and posibly make a similar function that's faster? Or would that take too much time?
