Taking the conversation here...
Fixed the hit boxes on the Predator and Reaper. This should be quite noticable now (once its on the server).
I also, while I was in the code, am in the process of doing a few weapon tweaks... (these flyers are going to be way more vulnerable now).
Predator Driver weapon 1, Laser Plasma Projectiles... these are projectiles NOT hit scan. I've made them a bit more visible and will tweak the damage to be more in line with rest of our stuff. That does mean less damage to players, and a bit more to vehicles-- will be about the same as it is now. However, the biggest change is the projectile speed... it was 24000 to start up to 40000 which is way too fast. Made it similar to the Falcon starts ~9000 goes to 30000 (accelerates). Will be easier to see now, and track/dodge.
Predator Driver Weapon 2, Reaper Driver Weapon 2, Missles. Made them a bit faster, they were pretty slow 4000. They have slow fire rate ~2 seconds and do 125 (Predator)/150 (reaper). Reaper has way shorter lock on range. Should be useful now, but might have to tweak a bit more.
Hellfire missles.. no change.
Predator Passenger weapon (Yes, Predator has a gunner! and both can take a passenger that has no weapon). The Predator gun, Vulcan minigun under the nose needs fixing. The tracking,effects are messed up, have them almost fixed now. Damage was also messed up, as it had 0.36 multiplier on vehicles (standard minigun), but we reduced the damage, so it was pretty much useless since the tracer tracking (even though its hitscan) was way off, and damage was minimal. Once I have it fixed, it should be roughly equivalent to a badger minigun, making a Predator gunner now worthwhile. With Driver using plasma, and Gunner, you can do close to 380 pts/sec! Bye, bye tank.
It might take a few more days to clean everything up. And as always we can tweak as necessary..but damn it will be nice to have good hitboxes, visible predator fire, and useful gunner.
This package also has a pretty cool StarFighter, based on the Buck Rodgers starfighter...
Might be a cool flyer to develop, similar to the starbolt, but more fast straight line, less turning. Anyway just an idea but it'd be fun to see.
