Very good idea by Strife. Upvote guys
@maudlin27 said in Optional Split Teams Option for TMM:
The change would make things much easier and more reliable for someone seeking to do this.
It won’t make it much easier. You underestimate how easy it already is lol. Just alt f4 whenever one group found game but other didn’t. Abuser also doesn’t need to “feed group info”, he can just intentionally lose and it’s game over
@Caliber said in Im done with billy nukes:
only cybran have a mobile counter to it
Seraphim as well cause of t3 shields
All avatars has been granted. Winners PayPal account addresses has been collected and transferred to the FAF treasurer.
@IndexLibrorum said in Add the Tombstones from the 2025 April Fool's Update as a Permanent Feature:
Does it make sense to have a ACU wreck instead of a stone tombstone? I know the ACU explodes in a big bang but if all my 2000 best faf friends are willing to suspend disbelief on the ACU chasis being able to withstand a nuclear explosion well enough to leave a blackened wreck I won't argue against it. But yes, nice function, let's keep it.
Lore-wise ACU wreck is the dead Dostya
The problem with tombstones was that they’re not reclaimable despite the game having the ACU wreck model by default
I don’t want them in the game but if I was to add them it would be mod of having acu wreck in the game
@maudlin27 T2 shields will only protect single t2 mexes. For core base you would need several T3 shields, which would bring the cost up to 12-20k mass. And then multiplied by the number of players in the team it will exceed Novax cost.
It's much more likely to be a real limitation in the game than the hypothesis that players cannot click t2 shield 10 times.
@maudlin27 there is no apm problem in shielding every mex. it's not harder than upgrading them lol.
The problem is the time and expense it gets to achieve this. I can order shield next to every mex I own, but they won't spawn immediately, and it has nothing to do with the apm
Novax Intel capabilities has been massively buffed sirca 2019, it didn’t have them prior to it. If Novax should be nerfed, un-buff is the first thing that comes to mind, not the last one.
The tournament is over. Thanks everyone for participating. Congratulations to:
@Neytron & @Ctrl-K for winning 1st place, custom avatar & 70$
@Lunyshko & @Terminal for taking 2nd place, faction face/logo avatar & 50$
@GingerbreadMan & @F-Odin for taking 3rd place, faction logo avatar & 30$
I've been overwhelmed by multiple requests from players. Someone didn't show up, someone was late, someone forfeited, someone get banned in the middle of the tournament. This lead to making difficult decisions to ensure competitive & fair bracket for everyone. Maybe it's unusual and harder to read compared to challonge tables, but I'm sure it was better from a competitive standpoint. I still believe no-bracket-stalling formats like rolling rounds Swiss and Round Robin are the way to go, but I will look forward to writing some scripts on automatizing Swiss to ease the burden of being a TD.
Next time I'm likely to host tournament with less mods, higher rating cap and improved format. You can write me the feedback in Discord PMs about what you've liked/disliked about the tournament, it may affect my future plans.
Depending of tomorrow FAF server status tournament may be postponed by a week or more. Decision will be made a several hours before tournament start. Keep in touch.
UPD. FAF is live, hopefully it will last!
@Nuggets said in Another Novax conversation:
as the sat "wastes" the smds
This part is easily implementable as a SMD button for toggle on/off "firing at satellites". So SMD won't fire if it's not necessary.
@maudlin27 btw it will be just reverse of the +50% speed buff from 2019 or smth
@Sainse Map list has been updated. Now maps are more diverse in size, type and provide more opportunities for dual ACU gameplay.
SMD killing Novaxes after two shots wouldn't be that unbalanced in terms of economics costs cause of coverage (nuke covers basically the entire map, smd isn't) and BP (two SMD missiles ain't cheap compared to novax rebuild)
Novax is exclusive to UEF, with his change you won’t have any opportunity to fight Novax if you’re not UEF.
The way to overwhelm this is to give this opportunity to every fraction, which would be basically an already suggested idea of SMDs shooting down Novaxes.
@Caliber I'm 1700 too, it doesn't happen all the time. It's easy to scout and requires simply making ints or flaks to counter. Not a rocket science really
It's not prevalent in high rated lobbies cause this tactic is an easy way to lose as well
Build TMD
Make guncom/nanoguncom and tanks to kill enemy MMLs
