Instead of all of those changes, you could make it not self healing. Just a regular ol' link vehicle. With all these vampire vehicles, I'm tempted to make Draculatron out of Linkatron :twisted: :lol: That might make the Chupa too weak, but willing to try it long as the link compounding stays. It’s ...

I'll double check it. I've noticed that too. The beams will extend a bit once locked (they all do) and linkers increase the range (except lamprey and Wraith). This made me think about how all the self healing linkers have a different colored beam and don’t gain extra heal/damage from linkers… excep...

The real pro maneuver is to hit E (use) just as you are about to get hit with the thrown manta. If you time it just right you can catch it. Yep, I’ve done that a few times. Got accused of cheating once way back on the RMD server when I did that to one of the admins there. I have my middle mouse but...

The only thing I'd suggest nerfing is the negative momentum. Maybe make the squash thing a little slower/less powerful. It's like a vertical dodge move and makes it harder to hit than should be. For other link weapons, the range is longer after a hit. It's especially exaggerated in the link badger,...

Maybe to start, decrease the damage with Alt-fire, and make it heal slower from that. Keeping primary and speed as is. One thing the alt-fire won't damage empty vehicles, I put that in to avoid spawn killing constantly with it..as it knocks flyers/mantas around. Had no idea the alt fire healed it t...

When cruising around in a manta and considering running over infantry, press the alt fire (smash) long before you get to them. If the ground is flat you won't lose any speed, and they'll be far less likely to hear you coming. Not sure I follow... the manta will run people over regardless of the alt...

Lamprey Nerf, increase time on secondary fire interval, reduce healing rate - its still IMO too OP. I would just start with increasing alt fire rate. Change one thing then see how it works. Isn’t that kind of a rule of thumb with coding in general? Usually when you nerf 2 or more things then sudden...

I knew you pro developers couldn't resist a challenge!

I'm with snarf on this, the Omega doesn't belong on this map. And Rhamp, I get your point too but even long time decent/average players, not even stains, are often oblivious to the map and don't use the Omega as effectively as it could be. We had that going on last night. Two link flyers would be pr...

They'd still be able to tether to allies. That way they can still zoom around tethered to an allied flier, but the enemies can counter that by shooting down that flier. Being able to tether to an enemy flier and harass them the entire game is annoying as hell to deal with. Ah, gotcha, makes sense. ...
