Rix Tac

Station at risk warning is a no brainer. The original developers should have put that in.

Yeah I agree that since Rix SBs are actually weaker against a heavily defended base, they aren't much of a problem.

Remember, let's not nerf endgame tech. Nobody likes turtles.

DO NOT TOUCH MY RIX TAC.

Rix in general pugs still takes much coordination to play... in fact.... it's why you don't see people play rix all that often unless your in a squad game. Rix is FINE. It's not like we can HScout Rush anymore. DO NOT TOUCH RIX.

All deployables take 4 seconds to activate. I believe it is hard coded into alleg.

Weird I thought prox and mp had different activation time

I'm willing to tolerate the thought that I'm wrong. Check ICE (I'm currently booted into MacOS)

Nah as standard its 4 seconds.

ICE says 3 for arming time on Station Drone 1 and 2 for Station Drone 2. Prox, minepacks and plasgens all have 4 for their arming time, Combat pods have 3 (and Combat pod3 says 2).

Whether or not it's hard-coded to stick at 4 regardless of being set like that, I wouldn't know. Hopefully someone else can shine a little light on it

Mustn't the offending object be eyed to set of the 'station at risk' alarm.

With Sig2 and PW range 2 the SB can drop them out of scan range.

Edit - highlighted something

The actual drone itself as around a 50% sig so its pretty much going to get eyed by the station, maybe if its a dreg ref and you get exp range perks you could do it but pretty much the station drone is going to get eyed.
