does 24° dispersion at 5s unbuffed cycletime even make a difference on Railguns? each turret has two of those guns and their cycletime can be buffed.

a mech has a 30% chance to get hit by those, a light bot 12,5%. the light bot is down with a single hit - if it even comes pass the 4° dispersion laser turrets.

so, currently, the two only ways to get into an enemy base, means to out-tank the DPS with heavies and shield tyrannos and apply DPS somehow,
or to just wait for the base's powersupply to run dry due to the increased power consumption of the turrets.

the changes to the neuting, ecming, demobbing, and supressing E(n)War turrets haven't been posted yet, so it hard to theocraft how much impact those will have.

Is that a trick question?

Yes, we'll put in more soon, once the majority of the changes/features are in.

a good percentage of the yellow dots can be solved with the same terrain code change, including those mentioned later but not listed there (highway emitter)

so its realistic to think that they are working on such a code and many things will suddenly be possible.

questions:
- why do my own base turrets attack me?
- why don't i see the laser beams from those laser turrets shooting at me?
- why do missiles hit the ground 200m behind me, but deal damage? (doesn't look like AoE)

oh, and sorry, i walked with a seth mk2 between your bases defense turrets and the explosion put one energy node into reinforce

I tried terraforming - terrible

I'd actually go a step further.

Wipe all the gamma mods currently in-game, reset all the tech and reimburse all the points spent - and bring it in line with the rest of the game with regards to prototype->RE->production.

That way all the newbie corps start on the same level as the rest of us vets when it comes to Gamma.

Gammas going to be blockaded by people with terminals.

Prototyping

Reverse engineering

Producing

Takes more then "a fews days" DEV Anni. Especially with 20k briochit per terminal, x5 for prototyping. You only make 5-6 per CT, so that's ~200k briochit for 5-6 T1 terminals. And that's 5-6 days production time too.

Reimbursing points is mainly for the newbies anyway, the vets will instantly unlock it one way or another.

Newbies will never be able to compete if prototyping gets put in for Gamma mods and the thousands of buildings us vets have are left in. It would just increase the monetary value of our stockpiles.

It does seem like that idea is based upon not allowing new corps to buy single units and reverse engineer them. It wont effect the older corps but for sure makes it harder for new people to compete.

I think we should do the prototyping and do it right, like everything else in game.  But like I said, Gamma should not be a mad dash to throw down an instant base and lock down the best islands.  I think you need to

--->Announce when Gamma is to go live.<------

--->On that date wipe All of the buildings.<-----

---->Open gamma and let good times begin<-----

Who but STC actually has thousands of Gamma structures?
How exactly is Gamma impossible for new people if there are people around with stockpiles?

This is the impression I hear again and again on the forums: 'Please reset XYZ so new players have even ground to start on' while totally disregarding that we will be in the same state again in time if the game is still around.

If you really want new players to have a chance, you should be pushing for other changes in actual gameplay.

If it will be possible to lock islands down just for the sake of having them locked down, then it's a problem with Gamma design and should be looked at.
