Well thank the gods your back!
Anyway..whats gone on?
Well with the thought of you not comming back for good we were all thinking to what extent we would change the mod. This was all because several parts of the mod (this is most notible with weapons and their stats) are completely unintelegable to work out due to not knowing how you envisaged the working of the game.
This lead to people questioning whether we should scrap the weapons as they are as it's like trying to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics without the rosetta stone. We had only just started this debate as u can see below with grumbler doing the first tests of long range-low Rof Vs short range-high Rof etc.
we all agreed that there were problems with the weapons as they are and that some races (notibly EA) have a huge selection of weapons as others don't.
This ALSO lead to questioning the usefullness of having so may weapons, some saying it might be better to just have race specific weapons or alternativly basic universal weapons for all lasers, plasma weps etc insted of different types of weapons for each race eg. EA having heavy lasers 1 and gaim having combat lasers 1 turns to both having generic laser 1. (something i'm against as the whole point of the b5 mod is that each race is totally different, otherwise it's just se4 with bab5 pics).
Pathfinder the absolute legend has been working hard at the ai. but has come up against problems with the engines as usual
oh well.
the same debate for weapons has been going on with the ai as pathfinder wanted to know if the ai should go straight for there race specific weapons or work up with a few others on the way. And also which weapons to go for as with all the imbalances at the moment some weapons the ai are choosing are useless.
Thats all i can remember at the mo i think...
oh Pathfinder - did u fix the problem with the armour as didn't u give it the "hit first" trait by accident at one point?
