| what if there was a mod command for rants to suicide and explode? it would help to deal with camping humans behind lots of rets and teslas. the player Somnus thought of this idea on niveus, because the humans were camping in four doors and we were losing evos from kamikazeing. i thought of adding like a 2-3 evo cost, and perhaps the command wouldnt be available until after 60:00 minutes, to prevent abuse of it early on (rantwhores could easily utilize this to tear apart a human base before SD and unbalance the game). idk if this is possible, but i thought it was a pretty good idea.

| interesting idea, wouldn't it be easier though to just add like an ESD? I mean if it would already be after 60:00 it would be like just changing the sudden death mode.
This would be fun to use though lol | |

| Ya I like the idea but maybe at 30:00 instead of 60:00. if it was at 60:00 then that would mean we just hit the time limit. | |

| Don't they have that on the X server?
Don't remember how it works exactly, but it goes like this.
You have to be rant. You get 9 evos, and buy a "nuke".
You rush into human base, use the nuke, and it (being the x server) kills basically everything in a 10 foot range.
Don't remember how it works exactly, because I haven't played on that server in quite a while. | |

| Basically you got it, but in this case, i wouldnt help because it would be hard to get the 9 evos, maybe 3 evos? | |

hard to get 9 evos? unlimited server = unlimited evos = mass amounts of tyrant nukes if someone whored evos = lots of pissed off players | |

| not too favorable of this, more dretch bomb kinda guy myself but as lad said, there would be a ton, ton, ton of nukes going off. Pretty much there would be only one or a few nukes allowed per match to make it fairish. Also, remember we need balance. | |

| Well thats why i said this should only be after 60:00, to prevent abuse of it early on. It really is just a deterrent to camping humans late in the game, which is why doub's idea of limiting its uses is very practical. The aliens werent meant to have a bomb weapon, but then again humans werent meant to build so much. Using dretches would be too easy on the evos, and they could be easily killed before reaching the target. I figured rants can tank their way into the human base and use the cmd (ideally already set to a bind) which would make the rant explode (maybe a little larger than a nade) and subtract the evos. also, i think the 9-evo cost idea could work, again, to prevent rantwhores from abusing this power (of course limiting the uses would be even better). | |

It could have(if doub cna do it) much larger effect on hummie building then the hummies themselfs. | |

| seb why are you so hard set on 60:00 unless we turn off the tl the game ends at 60:00 and if you turn the tl off permanently well I'm not in favor of that. Really a game shouldn't be longer then 45:00 at most really if you hit 60:00 then the game was just a standoff anyway. | |

| Oh well i was thinking this could be a last resort, it seems like it would be too powerful to introduce early on, its not like the aliens are uncapable of taking down a heavily defended human base, i figured this would just augment them a little, not become a regular part of the game. maybe the last 10 minutes at 50:00? | |

| I would say it should be more like using a dretch at the cost it would be to a nade, my guess would be like two evos and be triggered with something like /nuke and have the same damage and outcome as a nade therefore still keeping the gameplay pretty equal. The more advantagous thing for aliens is that they could have the nuke capability and use it wherever and if they die they don't lose the chance with evos whereas humans do if they want to use one they must buy one and risk having it.
If an alien nade was added to the game it would be interesting to see how it would be used in like the hallway with humans around lmao | |

| Maybe for like 2 evos rants could buy 1 uber spit like they have on Korx for adv. tyrants but it wouldn't recharge, or we could ad adv tyrants to unlim but just not make them as powerful as on Korx. | |

I think we lose balance with an even more powerful tyrant level. All I can see is everyone going either tyrant or adv tyrant as soon as they get the evos. | |

| I can see your point lad, and that's why we wanted to make sure that the rant thing only starts at like the 30 or 45 minute line but {ACR} is cool the rant idea!! I HAS A COOLER ONE!!! we make a new class of alien that flies!! like a raptor or something, and it could like drop stuff on people, or even shoot stuff at people, or if those don't work, it could just plain explode into people! if this idea is too then im outta ideas if ( myidea < failure ); | |
