Sometimes (wasn't able to fully reproduce it, but might be somehow related to sound card) sound in Perpetuum (and only there) just disappears completely. Once that happen, attempting to dock up or jump between silands will cause game to hang. At that time character seems will stay in limbo until client restarted.

Do we really need 6 more of them?

Currently gamma bases are more like very expensive, huge tomagochi - you have to spend lots of resources and time moslty just to be able to feed a reactor.

Maybe implementing T5 or that energy gathering stuff first?

UPD: nvm. This part:

To lock an outpost you need to pay 10k tokens a month (and 90 stability). This also allows you to block one intrusion time per successful intrusion.

So you brought my question from another thread about you bringing things from other threads and still didn't answered it.

Nice.

So why devs should change the game each time you can't win something?

tl;dr:

You were working hard to get your homeland back, but you failed to get those pesky DoY out
so you've called for help once more. But that didn't worked tho, so you've ended up blackmailing our allies tying to scare them away. And when they didn't, you've stopped even logging in and now saying that "you didn't want those outposts anyway" (c), but still trying to push us out proposing some strange changes convincing devs it will be good for the game.

Why do you think that devs should solve the problems you was unable to deal wih politics and military?

Masking debuff, as Anni proposed, is fine and solves possible problem.

No it doesn't solve any problem. Up to now, no alliance is strong enough to guard its base 24/7. with 2000m effective range you could easy destroy one turret after the other. 5 HM would need 2min/turret with this setup. This would open every base within an hour.
The more critical thing is, that this setup would mean you do this with semi afk agents, you place on ground, lok target and forget till target is done.

2 Player could do this siege easly with less than 10 accounts.

There never be any alliance to guard anything 24/7.
If not guarded, 2 players with less than 10 accounts can do it with current mechanics.
If not guarded, 5 HM wouild need 2min/turret wth current mechanics
Semi-afk works only if there is noone guarding. But still, if not guarded, any base can be destroyed in semi-afk mode, just need more Grophos.

As I said, turrets can be boosted appropriately, it doesn't really matter. Once again, proposed change is about new way to siege a base, not about easy mode.

I don't like the whole point that the same bot you use to shoot players can be used aganst fortresses - for that there should be siege weaponry, not just wooden poles and stones.

If you think that siege module will be too OP, then boost all the structuers accordingly. I hardly doubt that roaming party of 15 ppl should be able to completely ruin a gamma base. They should bring something special for that, like an artillery, walker, destroyer, or a bot with siege module.

That's the point.

That's the proposed change.

Stop thinking in terms of your hamsters pantries.

Back to the topic:

Masking debuff, as Anni proposed, is fine and solves possible problem. Other possible solution can be new type of building (ok that might be longer to implement) that works as one big probe (only one per corp per island allowed) and depending on it's tech level, pings ppl in certain radius - higher the tier, more the radius. So t3 would show any suspitious activity, no matter masking debuff or not.

Isn't that kinda the point though? It takes days or weeks to put up a gamma base, why should you be able to tear it down in 10 minutes?

edit: sorry Ville you wrote kinda the same thing.

But it's not about "let's kill all the gammas in 10 minutes". It's about "let it be more interesting than just terraforming in". While I agree that siege mode heavies can speed the process a little, they also bring more diversity, as you need to find a proper place for your siege bots, guard it well, then have a target painter bot coordinates fire, and so on and so on. As a defender, you have to not just repairing turrents being masked but realy counterattack enemy's position to bring those siege bots down.

We were constantly talking about artillery, walkers, destroyers, aoe weaponry, as we need it much, and there were endless threads about siege warfare - weren't those thingies supposed to hit hard? Why do you think that siege module will be completely different?

Then if you're worrying about gammas so much - balance them appropriately then.

Proposed mechanic isn't just wtfpwn whatever on sight, as it requires:

- Properly leveled and equipped bot(s)
- Target painter because in siege mode heavies will be as blind as light-ewar
- Guardians because in siege mode heavies are more vulnerable because they can't move
- Plasma / ammo / whatever else it will require

That'd be even more risk for an attacker actualy because siege modules will be quite expensive and heavies in siege mode can't move.

Developing artillery, walkers or destroyers will take ages, and we need to somehow assault those lil' Gammas. So here is what can be done as a semi-temporaty solution - a Siege Module

First of, all the proposed changes are mosly based on Nexus mechanics with some little addition. Also, it's more or less similar to dreadnoughts siege mode in that, other game.

So, a siege module requires 5k of racial plasma (depends on bot you're piloting now) per cycle. Each cycle lasts for 5 min. Such a module can only be equipped on Heavy Mech (later only on walker/destroyer) and would take head slot (or even some special siege slot). While active, it gives/takes:

  • reduces max speed to 0

  • increases armor for 25%

  • increases all resists for 15%

  • increases damage in 5 times

  • increases weapon cycle in 10 times

  • increases energy usage by weapons in 2 times (more for Gropho)

  • increases weapon optimal range in 2 times

  • increases hit dispersion / explosion size in 2-3 times to that it's only buildings you're hitting good

  • increases lock range in 2 times

  • increases lock time in 5 times

  • decreases max targets to 3

  • reduces signal detection by 10

Also Siege Module:

  • requires Colixium to build

  • bonuses only affects racial weapons (actually, there can be racial siege modules affecting only racial bots/weapons

  • bonuses are applied on actual values, not base ones

  • each shot consumes 5 ammo/missile at one time

Please, keep political *** out of this thread.
