Res delay? 15 seconds. Prox lifetime? Also 15 seconds (plus the 4 second activation time). HMM I WONDER HOW THAT COULD BE APPLIED TO PREVENT SHIPS FROM ESCAPING THROUGH THE ALEPHphoenix1 wrote:QUOTE (phoenix1 @ Aug 5 2010, 07:56 PM) through the aleph
Aleph Res
As they are now aleph res are almost completely worthless as it is so easy to either boost or rip our of their effective range. I want aleph res 1 with 2k two-sided range, aleph res 2 with 3k two-sided range, aleph res 3 with 4k one-sided range. Seems reasonable to me.
There's a new sheriff in town.
If res 1 and 2 have 2k and 3k two-sided range respectively, the res user (usually bomb run) has a lot further to travel before entering the target sector.
I suspect that this would not solve the problem of the d ripping or boosting:
Defending Ints boost for their green door, if they get podded by the res they float to dock, launch and boost to intercept the bomber that may not even have entered yet.
Figs rip elsewhere, dock and transfer bases.
Scouts... well, they rip, dock change into figs/ints and transfer. So I guess you will clear a prox camp...

Still ready to teach anyone who asks nicely whatever they want to know about playing alleg. Contrary to popular opinion I do not eat newbies. Voobs taste much better.
I'd like to see either a full conversion (only aleph res is 1 sided aleph res) or an aleph res that's linked to Res1/2/3 for 1 sided (although that will clutter up the menu when trying to get to the res3 1 sided version)
No reason to make the res situation messy

While we are discussing this here is a spin-off which might be a stupid idea, but how about:
fake aleph res.
it has all the bells and whistles, but not the big explosion at the end.
purpose:
normally you res to clear the defenders from the aleph but then you're stuck because they get back to the aleph as fast as (faster) than you(r base-killing ships). You can't use the aleph because then you're killed by the aleph res.
a fake aleph res puts the defenders in a bind. They can flee, in which case you just storm the aleph while the res animation is still in effect (because it's fake and it won't kill your sbs), or stay, in which case maybe it's not a fake res and you storm the aleph while they are podded and floating home.
advatages over one-sided res:
1) you can sneak in while the animation plays.
2) if I understand how allegiance is built, this should be technically simpler to implement.
