A bug or intentional? Echidna Light Flak Cannon!
« on: April 01, 2014, 02:44:51 pm »
Hey there,

I noticed a strange kill earlier today when playing around with the light flak against a friend of mine, and tried to reproduce it in sandbox with the same friend. After a while and destroying my friend's heavy engine and aiming at it with the light flak, we got it. The results were.. surprising. Whoever is behind this, this is awesome :D

Posting a video since it might be kinda hard to stumble upon this, just in case it's a bug and going to be fixed soon! I know the light flak wasn't exactly the best weapon after the nerf but.. damn..

(Description: Greased rounds and Lochnagar shot with the Light Flak.. something surprising has come up. Video length 1:50.)

How's it funny? This is a serious balance issue!


@Schwerbelastung: I'd recommend sending this over to feedback@musegames.com. Seems like the kind of thing that needs to be addressed right away.

I know it might be a balance issue, but no one really uses the light flak ever, especially with lochnagar.. and from the looks of it, you need to hit the heavy engine anyway.

Also, just in case they're really quick about fixing things, I'd rather just have it here.. people can see it for themselves and the devs will probably pop in here sooner or later anyway :)

Just tested it on the mobula for recording purposes but in the actual game where I found out the bug (?), before the testing video, I killed a galleon with it. I'm not sure if it works on the squid because it has no heavy engine.

I think the light flak is finally in a good place now, take your balance bellyaching to the devs and leave us in peace. ;)

The squid has two heavy engines, how else do you think it goes so fast?

You can teach...chickens to fly faster than that.

Since the video has twice the amount of views of this thread at the point of me writing this post, it's likely that some people may stumble upon this thread at some point after having seen the video.

If this is the case with you and you for some reason haven't gotten to know the awesome game we play and our wonderful community, feel free to visit https://gunsoficarus.com/ :)
