How do you do my fellow spring invitational qualifiers?
Just some ideas:
If bombers had a second larger aoe ring, e.g. doing 75 damage, they'd be able to kill all engies in at most two passes. The inner circle ring size could also be nerfed try and keep balance vs large armies. Now, if a bomber drops 4 bombs, it either gets 2-4 kills instead of 0-4. It's more consistent but not 100% predictable.
Another change, instead of increasing second ring size, is to shrink the inner aoe size and adding partial tracking to bombs, so they always hit with at least the weak aoe against engies. Bombers would be a bit worse against groups from the smaller inner ring, but hit more consistently.
One of these could also be combined with engies having larger turning circles to be worse at dodging, then maybe aoe wouldn't need to be changed to hit.
Keeping an inner damage ring with the same damage as current bombers would help to maintain current balance against larger, stationary, or unmicroed targets.
I honestly quit team games partly due to this. It was happening most games and was always such a chore to pick up the slack. There is an alternate game mode 'supremacy' which allows you to continue if you have engies or factories, but it's not really played. My solution was to play 1v1 instead.
I am so exited. Please call it "THE STATE OF FAF".
Flare weapon's projectile lifetime is too short for ghetto's on uneven terrain.
Replays I guess.
Test game (min 1:30): #19701059.
Real game (min 5:00 exactly): #19652929.
Pic from test game showing point where it disappears.
Trans if floating above that tiny crater but it can't hit the engies.
I think an increase by 10-30% would fix it for most terrain.
The projectile has no drop off so it travels it's full distance in land fights when the lab misses but I don't think this matters much. It'll look bizarre if it's too high regardless.
Haven't checked other labs, but could be normalised according to muzzle velocity.
@Pearl12 think it was just for faction diversity (yep there it is again). I think at first, it was changed, as @Nari said, to be a short range mavor. It was half price, ~110k mass, and had about 8-10km range. Since no other faction had a 'cheap game ender', cybran had an uncontested win condition on 10km maps. It also overlapped with t3 arty at ~70k mass and outperformed. It was also useless on 20km maps, due to said short range, giving cybran no game ender on it.
But anyway, cybran needed a game ender different from mavor, and since scathis is a rapid fire artillery, they exaggerated what made it different to make it even more different, i.e. loads more aoe, very low accuracy, very low damage per shot (compared to mavor); this matched the style of cybrans other arties, treb and disruptor. I think the volley idea was just something someone came up with and it stuck.
I personally think it looks dumb for the canon to spin so fast. If they shot cluster projectiles instead, like how their bomber shoots 6 bombs, then it would look way less stupid and not like a modded unit. This change would even keep it's shot per volley the same. Also, it would split early unlike the aoen rapid fire.
Pros use kennels to assist fatboy on the frontline to make units.

To celebrate the summer invitational and heat wave I present Sentons summer, a setons themed around global warming. Commanders will have to survive in an arid land that's not quite the Setons they are familiar with.
Can you survive one of the hottest heatwaves in Setons history?
Isn't there a mechanic to rebuild a structure if it's destroyed while assisting it? How similar is that to this?

@sylph_ said in 2023 Summer Invitational Group Stage:
Were those colours chosen specifically to make observing difficult?
I'm trying to unlock the gold acu bonus.
I didn't see anything in https://forum.faforever.com/topic/203/list-of-banned-exploits-updated-22-03-2022 about this so I'll post this here. I was playing against 'Aix Sorian(galacticfear)' on setons clutch 1v1 duel and when I tried to scout his base he already had a battalion of mobile anti-air heading towards me which shot down my air scout. All I managed to see were two factories but no pgens and he was able to build because he had gold acu giving him infinite resources.
I've tried making two facs on setons and I always run out of energy.
How do I unlock gold acu on setons for infinite resources?
you can teleport uef drones now????
what if acu had slot like stinger to take a sparky/percy with it?
maybe it can shoot while being carried like units in gc claw.
I like how the guy that dq'd got 5th while I got 7th.
