Bug Or Feature?
« on: August 23, 2014, 10:15:54 am »
-Chem spray will stay active on a component even after that component is broken.

-Shatter damage is transferred to the hull once all components are broken.  (guns and engines)

Are these bugs are features?

It's meant to work like that, as for the chem-spray I'm unsure if its a bug.

Tar barrel and sand storms can strip hull armor because of how the damage is transferred. This seems a little out of place but maybe not game breaking.

All damage types transfer to the hull (armor) once you destroy the component, even the chance to set fire, if I am not mistaken.

Chem spray should stay active on component even when they are broken. Helps with dealing fire: "Repair now or is there enough time to repair it later without dying first?"

Actually, if we remove transferring flechette/shatter damage to hull, it might be interesting rebalance. + survivability of ships /  - carronade imbalance

It would not make sense for the chem to vanish on break. We are not firing squeegee ammo here.

*makes note to suggest squeegee ammo for removing chem spray

Aqua ammo: Wipes away any chemspray, but also puts out any fires.

It is silly. Fire-resistant compounds are usually not aqua-soluable.

Of course not. That would be silly. The ammo I was talking about would fire actual squeegees. The big guns would fire entire window cleaning crews.

Chem persisting through rebuild is fantastic.

Are you saying hull or hullarmor? Cuz I'll totally try to break every component with my carro and keep shooting em if I can circumvent armor that way.

Roombas? Sounds like what the hwacha would fire. Would the heavy flak shoot consuela teams, whose counter would be the engineer tool "rag of chloroform"?
