New update: Close air support, second floor Almayer, Scout specialist, Boiler neurotoxin gas
Added 2024-08-21 02:53:18 +0000 UTCClose Air Support (CAS)
Pilots now have a way to directly assist marines on the ground by firing on any targets that they designate. This is done with signal flares and laser designators, which SLs and FTLs get for free, but any squad role can buy for points.
Communicate on the JTAC (:j) channel when firing, or risk getting "good hits"! And remember that the offset does not change where you fire in direct bombardment!
The only gun currently implemented is the GAU-21 30mm cannon with two types of ammo:
PGU-100 Multi-Purpose: Deals 105 damage and pierces 10 armor, taking 10 seconds to reach the target with a 3-tile spread.
PGU-105 30mm Anti-tank: Deals 80 damage and pierces 40 armor, taking 6 seconds to reach the target with a 4-tile spread.
The GAU-21 and its ammo can be printed by the dropship part fabricator, and loaded onto each dropship's weapon points, two in the front, and two on the sides. They will have a green outline when mousing over them.
Fire missions and more guns will come soon in a future update, including mini-rocket pods, rockets, and the laser cannon, alongside other attachments for dropships such as the medevac, fulton, and paradropping.
Piloting skill is now also fully implemented, meaning that pilots with the required skill can shorten the dropship travel time from 100 seconds to 50 seconds!
The dropship hiajck now also takes 180 seconds, up from 100 seconds, and has a warning for marines 10 seconds before impact.
See the video above for a demonstration.
Second floor Almayer
Command no longer has to lead the operation from a cramped room in briefing, and MP no longer has to make a makeshift holding cell for prisoners.
Both the CIC and Brig are located on the second floor, which you can reach by clicking on one of the many ladders, or walking up the four sets of stairs leading up to it.
This update also includes 150 security cameras watchable from the many security consoles, and improvements to the first floor of the Almayer.
This also means that each role will spawn in its intended position now.
Pilots, SOs, COs and XOs now also have access to their designated equipment racks, added by Salazar "Cyclops" Petrovich.
Scout Specialist
Contributed by Lank
It comes with a custom rifle that deals more damage and, most importantly, invisibility on the move.
Remember, the thermal cloak goes into your backpack slot!
Sneak into the hive, coordinate with the pilots on the JTAC channel, and call in air support, if you manage to survive for long enough. Your invisibility won't make you fully invisible, but it will make you much harder to see.
Boiler neurotoxin gas
Contributed by Verm
The Boiler has had its missing neurotoxin gas bombard added, which can be toggled with the "Toggle Gas Type" ability.
Neurotoxin will not deal damage to barricades, but it will severely disorient and potentially kill any marines caught inside the cloud.
Barricade and resin structure invincibility frames
Contributed by Verm
Barricades and resin structures can now be hit a maximum of 3 times per second, to prevent deathstacking.
This is to account for SS14 not having tile movement, where many xenos or marines can stack on one tile to melee-attack the same structure.
