Are you a forum leader dogbones? I am JeremyymereJ's younger brother and I was just wondering what all this up here means. Well, I'm going to go, add me to your friend list?Dogbones wrote:QUOTE (Dogbones @ Sep 9 2007, 12:55 PM) I am posting this in general as there has been very little feedback regarding a few 'game play/balance' changes.
For a full list of changes FAZ R4 beta
I've pulled out the highlighted ones
Added #mutiny command to propose an overthrow of the commander by the player who typed the command. Commanders do not see the vote, and automatically vote "no." [Proposed change, require a 3/5th or 2/3rd majority for it to pass]Commanders can now force their players to stop/resume donations. The "Stop Donating" button is now 'pressable' by commanders only.Rotation rates have been limited for ships with high mass, removing the capship "spin of death".Drone AI has been tweaked in the following ways:
Drones now check to see if a sector you own (only your bases) is hostile (has more enemy ships than you do) before entering. This can be overridden by issuing a manual order. Previously any sector you controlled was considered 'safe'. Drones with the 'cowardly' attribute (like miners) won't enter hostile sectors.
Drones don't have to completely stop turning before 'entering' (their forward speed is unchanged). This applies to constructors planting in rocks and miners/cons/carriers docking at stations.Edit: corrected this description
Drones no longer attempt to dodge friendly craft when "entering". This applies to constructors planting in rocks and miners/cons/carriers docking at stations ONLY during the very last stages of their approach.
Miners won't run if slightly damaged (less than 5% hull damage), previously they would run even if slightly 'scratched' or continue to run if not healed to 100% hull.
We will likely be posting a series of forum polls and/or ASGS polls to get your feedback.
I would encourage EVERYONE to play the beta (R4 beta installer). We are getting close to release so speak up now !!!
Feedback in this thread is fine but if it looks like one issue (like say #mutiny) is being debated back and forth generating a lot of traffic, please take it to thread in the beta forum specific to that one issue.
