Okay, I recreated the Cerberus in the editor from the gamedata files in the newest map MPQ, and setting the weapons' backswing and damage point values to 0 DOES fix the only 1 missile firing problem (at least until it runs out of energy). That issue is really annoying, please fix it?

Hello~

Any suggestions based on the last test? Beside the Yamato Barrage being deadly? ( Which i already nerfed, regarding price, now it's 4500/4500 to buy it instead of 3000/3000 )

Also the Lovely Levi is in the works, i might have it ingame by this weekend, but we have to see. :]

Also the "damage point" value of the weapons should be 0. This has nothing to do with the damage amount, it's the amount of time after the attack starts animating that the effect actually fires.

Thanks for the tips, yet to test them thought, but this saturday should be possible :]

As short news, the zerg now in works, got the 'Starbase' and the 'docks' for them, so when vote for zerg you get a zerg base now, minus the towers as those yet to be made. Also you can build and test a levi if on zerg faction, instead of the Dreadnought, thought it's still in it infancy and not viable to a full game yet. bu that will change of course.

For terran side did some balancing, mainly price increase of the HBC barrage and alike. The Scavenger will be ready as well by this saturday, and only the Devastator need one more spell. Today i gonna focus on the descriptions and hotkeys for Terrans, likely wont have them all by saturday but the upgrades should be done.

Also a note, the bomber so far been a free kill, and they did not attack. NOT anymore, so expect tac nukes anywhere on the map, best if every player have high gauss, or if play smart, have assigned player have extra high gauss on their ships to shot down tac nuke ( Dreadnought and Scavanger + MBS Plasma platforms recomended, have higher range on gauss ) They scale with base up. Good bounty but if not being careful ( or have no gauss and alone ) you likely glow in the dark. They also help bring down enemy base as much faster too if protected from enemy fire ( mainly by pushing into the enemy tower range and keep defence buzy, then they can cause quite a havoc )

On front of Triggers no news atm, TwoDie had issues with comp, and yet to reach him, i hope i can do so today and with luck he can get some work done, mainly the kill count, and displays i hoping for.

Also, just curiousity, do any one of you expert with AI coding and would be interested make AI for ships? Haveing 2-3 ships per race AI supported would be very nice touch, and sure you prefer fight an AI then a human opponent in quite a few cases. :]

a perfect game hehe ^-^

guess next week we can have another run, now things done that you haven't seen yet

Leviathan: With out spells yet, but it's a FAT space bug, as slow as well. It's one of the wonders of nature that can grow bigger then a star base, no joking there 8) Have to try it to see it lol.

Vision range: come up with a solution and so now works like magic.

Kill counter: Now cunts, have a lil bug but otherwise it's perfect.

It could be the second but I almost never host a long game on the first one due to potential late comers that get lost over the course of the event.

Ultimately, we will see tonight.
