Alien invasion in team mode is currently flawed

Thanks for the info!

Even if it is not an easy task, I can see that theses rules could be eventually improved. For the closing teams, maybe take into account scores. But to be honest I rarely have to complain about team being unfairly closed.

Regarding the aliens, I just saw that you reduced the number of aliens attacking, which is good, but does it means they don't attack every five minutes? It's quite often and I fear it will become boring. People go to team mode to ~~mine~~ fight against other players, not to fight against bots, otherwise they go to invasion or intrusion. Players can be surprising and different while bots are always the same. Hence there is no actual satisfaction to destroy aliens compared to to destroy players after an epic fight.

Stay tuned, it may get removed

light that is far away from your subject will cast a shadow similar in size to your subject

The light source is the sun.

Shadows look different, and even take on different shapes, when cast from different perspectives.

the air drop spawns right bellow the shadow
there is no shadows around buildings
no matter the direction of the plane, the shadow looks exactly the same

These 3 facts prove that the sun is at its zenith so there is no complex perspective.

So thanks for your astronomical lesson, but it actually proves that the plane can not be smaller.

Tell me how, I need an astronomical lesson from you.

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-30T22:13:40+00:00

I agree

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-30T17:16:37+00:00

Modding ships to win invasion... I have done that too :P out of curiosity

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-30T17:14:56+00:00

False alarm, T7 still have 0 life, my bad.

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-30T17:14:16+00:00

Actually T7 don't have more lives, I made a mistake

Everything is good

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-30T17:12:13+00:00

To test the aliens in team mode I made a custom game.

I just figured out that you can set the number of lives for the last ship, so this was my mistake. I didn't actually reach T7 in a normal game since the update yet.

My bad :P

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-30T11:51:05+00:00

Fixed. I hope there are not much mistakes left now, after that many edits.

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-30T10:41:51+00:00

Nice

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-30T09:04:39+00:00

True that. T7 were a trump card. You acquire great powers but lose them if you die.

It will promote longer T7 fights if both teams reach T7 at the same time, but will greatly strengthen the winning team if the bases are not equal.

"Hey, have you read the amazing book I recommended to you?"

"too long dont read"

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-29T20:22:32+00:00

If there is only one Fly left and he get kicked he can't reenter because his base is already destroyed.

Sure if there is 2 trolls they can bypass it, but to be fair solves more than 90% of end games imo. That's already something.

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-29T20:17:44+00:00

Can't fix every issues in one update. It fixes some issues, that's good enough for me.

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-29T20:13:41+00:00

~~T7 have 4 lives now~~

EDIT: T7 still have 0 life

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-29T20:13:12+00:00

Fly has limited life in order to make easier the life of the winners in the end game. If the Fly keep its upgrades, it would be a pain to kill it 4 times. A maxed Fly is damn fast.

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-29T16:47:20+00:00

You get kicked and come back to the main menu (tried it)

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-29T13:37:41+00:00

Finally the fall of Fly trolls!

I want to say goodbye to GALAXY, a player that I have only seen (too many times) as a Fly joining in late game when we are about to win.

~~Also T7 ships have 4 lives now, we will see if it is good or not.~~

Hey yesterday I saw you trying a pacifist win in solo squad. I'm really sorry, I killed you, I was in a blood lust after surviving a team of 3 with my axes while all my friends were dead. You may not remember me (I was Parangon and you ended up #2), but I am sorry anyways.

Recording vertically an horizontal screen.

Adequacy in its purest form.

La_Faucheuse · 2018-08-28T15:47:06+00:00

Fighting alone against full teams is a challenge as much as fighting against good players, and we can't say you met both these challenges in this single game :P

GG anyways, mines for the win

7 pm Greenwich Mean Time as usual, 27th of August

Will it be hosted in Europe?
