Sometimes I think Jip should just stop posting any news at all bc of all the shitposting he gets in return.
People have been asking for years for the mobile factories to be fixed, he's doing it. And two of the them aren't ready yet. What the fuck is the problem with you guys? So much entitlement.
I have next to no experience in Java, nor do I even really like the language, but I do have experience in .Net WPF.
I think I could put my dislike of Java aside for FAF at least and try helping out.
I can't believe I just read someone saying Aeon t2 and t3 lands are the worst.
You mentioned something I never thought about in regards to a way to nerf the Novax.
Inertia.
What if we gave it massive inertia, more than any other unit in the game so that it couldn't just turn on a dime and retarget so fast? That's part of why it can be borderline OP, its ability to retarget fast enough to snipe shields being built or other volatiles in quick succession.
It is a satellite after all, it would make sense for it to have such inertia.
I was going to say I just don't enjoy 1v1s in general. I just prefer team games more. But Rezy & Sladow make a really good point about BO whoring. I don't know and don't feel like learning the optimal BOs for all the 1v1 maps. If there was a map-gen only 1v1 queue, I would probably actually play it.
Did I just see build walls and eco given as a suggestion to stop an Aeon gun com?
Free speech is your right to say whatever you want (within limits, crowded theater & fire) without retaliation from the government, not the right to avoid the consequences for what you say by private entities.
Every online platform has rules surrounding speech, it makes no sense to not have any here. People are here to play a game, not deal with whatever vitriol people want to spew at them. It's not hard to not be a complete asshole. If you go through multiple bans just from saying shit, then you have some serious personal problems and anger management you need to deal with in your real life. But sure if you're worried about losing players due to bans, imagine not just how many you'd lose from an increasingly toxic community, but how many you'd never even gain in the first place.
Anyone that has played my lobbies recently has probably seen me complain.
It is absolutely asinine that for the cost of a single TML you can kill a T2 mex, its wreck, and the surrounding storage.
And that cost to benefit ratio is only made worse(better) by how fast you can pump out missiles and kill more mexes completely.
Obviously "just build tmd idiot!" is the current solution. The problem being it costs way more mass & more importantly time to cover your mexes in TMD than it does to build and fire the TML. This depends on map size and mex layout of course.
I'm not much of a numbers guy so I'm not gonna get down into the stats of it all, but something really needs to change and I don't see anyone else talking about it.
The level of entitlement I've seen over the last several days on this forum is incredible.
Jip & co have brought FAF to a new level over the year+. Be happy we aren't stuck playing on a clone of GPGNet, instead we have people willing to continually work on and improve the game. The performance improvements alone are more than we could've asked anyone to do. The fact they're trying to modernize the game to a degree without access to the source code is a feat itself.
Jip more than communicates enough and is always open to feedback, don't blame him because yall don't make an effort to keep up with development nor do you play on Develop to test the changes. Instead, make an effort to be part of the process if you're so unhappy with it.
What do you do when you see a novax? Rush to preemptively shield every minutely valuable thing in your base. HQs, mexes, power, storage, exp's being built.
What do you do when you see t3 arty up? Shield your power.
Novax is OP by virtue it can instantly change target with 100% accuracy. It will find a gap in your base and exploit it.
Arty while still annoying, takes time to aim at something new, fire, and maybe hit that target. You're not aiming at mexes with T3 arty (unless you basically already won and have nothing else to hit).
You have time an opportunity to shield your base as needed when defending against arty, and generally a lot less of that with a novax.
Pretty funny (and awesome) seeing this here today. I was just reading about new AI models and their reverse engineering capabilities and was thinking about giving something like this a shot. Looks pretty damn sweet so far. Who'd ever imagine potential 64p SupCom? Love that you having a "working" MP version already, and that connection grid.
Out of curiosity, what's the likelihood it could be implemented alongside the current Trueskill implementation but not actually used? So that people can see it, get used to it, compare it, etc before it is actually used.
Sounds like @DrunkenChaos 's phantom mod for @Schmuckbenny and the other MLT guys
The FAF forums have become more entertaining than FAF itself these past few months. Holy hell these endless threads about moderation are so inane. Do y'all not have anything better to do? Someone asked for their account to be deleted, and then made a new account at some point later in time? What the hell is the problem? I've done this myself in several games. Why do you even care? Just play the damn game.
@Jip Do we know what UI mods would be affected and how? Maybe we can pre-patch them or create new ones. Just a thought.
I haven't been playing much lately, so I'm down to potentially brick my game for the sake of testing a new adapter. Should we schedule a day & time for people to get on and test?
Add one time use T4 anti-sat launchers.
How about a sat that projects a shield around an area
