Admin Notice: Server testing #11

[Prysin]

This also affects Nova torps - before this change, fired tracking ammo would disappear the same way as NPCs if no player was within 2.5K - meaning that you can bombard stations and weapon platforms and even stationary battleships from outside their gun range.

If you try a Nova on a weapons platform on another server, fire it from 3K and stay at 3K from the platform, the target will not take damage because the torp is discarded before it gets there.

It is entirely possible that the change will increase server load in situations with many missiles, NPCs and players. How much, that is the question.

Change NPCs so their turned off at 125 people then?

Nova torps can be "bugfired" with cruise speed for up to 10k... but there is a cool thing with this... the first 7,5k it WONT track, but if the target is within the 2.5k tracking range at the end, it will start tracking.... ofc, if the target moved 2.5k from the original straight line when you fired 10k away, it wont know its there and continue on for the remaining 2.5k before going kablam.

But yes, tested this little thingy with some friends back in the days... its wierd, the torp still does damage..


PS: HOW IS THAT "NOVA NOW WORKS ON BS SHIELD" THING GOING? I ASSUME YOULL MAKE CRUISER MISSILES WORK TOO WHILE YOUR AT IT.
