Gameplay / Re: Fire Extinguisher - your opinion?
« on: August 21, 2014, 05:07:05 pm »Also, I'm unsure why pyra balloons are singled out as needing chem spray, but not other balloons? All balloons are equally (read: EXTREMELY) susceptible to fire damage and if you've only got an extinguisher, that flamethrower will keep igniting it and you'll be on the ground dying a messy death.
I don't think it's being singled out as needing chem spray, but some people are less inclined to use chem on other balloons simply because the Pyra's balloon is so easy to keep sprayed due to its proximity to the upper left gun, whereas other ships' balloons take slightly longer to reach.
I absolutely agree, however, that chem spray is pretty much necessary on all ships' balloons... Except maybe the Spire's. That thing's a long way away from everything, you don't really get any good chances to spray it.

I've heard the devs say that burst actually does make the flamer hit more things, despite lacking AoE.

Q&A / Re: Out of the novice ranks and wanting to fly Galleon
« on: August 10, 2014, 09:21:43 pm »I found it's really nice bringing the mallet for the balloon and making top engie bring chem spray it really makes the engie able to go downstairs more now that he's not worrying about the balloon as much also. The balloon of the galleon has a surprising amount of health and you will find that you have time when pioliting to run over and hit it by the time it's done it's cooldown and do that pretty much forever... It's better to prevent your engie from waisting time rebuilding when I can keep up the balloon just fine as long as you(I?) get fire support...
The Galleon's balloon doesn't have any more health than any other ship's balloon, and if you take a mallet and the balloon pops (which will happen a lot against carronades and lumberjacks, it's a really easy target), you'll really regret not having a wrench.
You could also engi captain, of course. Then you've got yourself a mallet and a spanner.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: more maps for practice

It's been suggested a few times before, and if I remember correctly Muse said that they're not doing it, which is a shame.

I'm guessing it's meant for co-op, and Muse just forgot to remove it from the release build.

Whoops, forgot to do mine. I guess I'll just leave out Thralls v Cake and MM v SIR and make some quick stabs at the rest.

Is it possible to make repair points independent from hitboxes?

I just ran some tests with a stopwatch myself, and I was getting times around 10% slower. Not the most reliable way of measuring it, but the results were pretty consistent.

Something like this?
That was, at one point, going to be a gun in this game. Turns out having guns the size of ships didn't quite work.

I think that's supposed to be Clamour vs. DPA on Fjords. Either that or Hatters have a pretty busy Saturday ahead of them
