Res0

How about a super cheap Res0 that does no damage (or super minimal at point blank range to justify the explosion), as an extra piece of fun kit to $#@! with camps? It won't actually hurt anyone/thing, but it may present some last second jitters to camps.

Issue in gameplay: Assistance for bomb runs trying to break through large camps. Tech choices are somewhat limited. Get a sup for better GAs/Turrets, get MS2/3, get interceptors to go in first to try to clear things up and then go... There could be more options.

Solution: Gives a larger variety of tech to use (more options = fun) and works as a weapon that just psychologically damages your opponent.

Playstyle: Since it does no real damage it allows the bomber to launch it and go right through as it explodes/slightly before or after. It could be mixed with Res1 to further torment the team in question and make them doubt which is the "real" one. Think as in like multiple tp2 drops... Which tp2 is the real one?

Way to defend against it: drop your prox as per normal. Drop one as the aleph becomes destabilized, then get your scout as close to past 1000m as you can from said aleph, until you return a bit and drop some more.

If a fig/int/etc, assuming you're already at 500m, getting to 1000m and back again is an extremely easy feat... This just $#@!s with you a bit.

Discus. Is there room in CC for psychological weaponry? Would this tool of warfare be effective/change gameplay for the better/more entertaining/more varied? WHAT SAY YOU ALLEGIANCE?

This is a horrible idea. I'm not even going to say why it is, because it's such a stupid idea.

PS.) That's the best way for me to support this. Honestly though, it sounds kind of annoying.

A res that does no damage would actually be kind of interesting, you could fire it off and as everyone runs away, you enter the sector through the uncamped alleph and take no damage from the res. It would still have to cost something per missile otherwise it would just get spammed/abused.

Not sure if it should make it's way into cc, but it is an interesting idea.

One that's been proposed before as well

(although I think it was a DN proposal)

A counter would be to have probes in the bbr sector and check if it's moving.

have 2 hvy bbrs 1 k from aleph, shoot res0, let 1 bbr go into the aleph, shoot res1 ASAP, the 1st bbr enters and the other team is like "yay! it was a fake! lets kill the bbr!", res1 pods everyone including the bbr, then walk your 2nd bbr in.

Having stealthy nans is especially required to this feat.

Since we're having an aleph res discussion, I guess I'll drudge this old thing back up, as much as I hate the idea: http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index...showtopic=57998

This sounds like an amusing idea.

What does happen when a second Res is fired at an aleph that is in the count down from the first? Will it explode twice, is the counter reset, the second res is ignored?

Edit: Imagine a Bbr full with fake Res http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YwLQSTo_ow
