with bio engine i can still move but not shot and bio cools down very slowly (still no flow/fun). lol i dont know "recon" but i'm not a noob for sure! i think u r more unexperienced than me. anyway only because a few ppl wanna remove something does not mean that my request is a bad idea! you r right, nukes are expensive, take a long time to research BUT "can be easily overtaken by experienced people"??? ever tried to attack 3 nuke tanks with a doublerail heavy? have a lot of fun.... it's nearly impossible even to hit them due to permanent overheating. i think u r just scared that your loved empires will change in ANY way. grow up kid: thinks are changing!
The amount of heat nukes deal to enemy tanks is due to a bug, and will be reduced majorly in the next version.
One issue I have with nukes: I'm fairly sure their damage radius is actually far larger than the explosion that is drawn on the screen. That's slightly annoying.
Why not make the limit of the heat the same with a catch, you can overshoot your limit and the tanks defences will decrease. If your heat is so damn high, then basically it means the metal gets softer from that heat.
My Gforce 9600 gt doesn't show much more then an HE blast(with max settings) + a booming sound from my sound card.
I guess thats the issue with maintaining a multiplayer mod like this... you've gotta know when to stop with the purdyness, so you don't alienate those with lesser video cards... :/
Maybe its because Trickster almost always goes for nukes which doesnt work too often and BlakkCooper just happens to be in Tricksters team... Nah, thats not true. btw, Metallica FTW.
Trickster's Maksa- worship nuke rush is becoming notorious... ... you just need to know if you have the right team to pull it off though. Trying it with a team filled with emp_recruits and BlakkCoopers is never a great idea... ...They are just gonna get ripped apart by rail heavies.
My Opinion Nukes are good, thus gay at the same time, They are Gay because they Overheat ALOT but I can always handle it YAY ENGINEER 10% Cooling and Advance Coolant > Nukes. Nukes do too little damage to Tanks it's like using a Standered Cannon against other tanks but it explodes, with a bigger radius. Well I do use composite and absorbant maybe those armors don't take alot of affect to it anyways. And yes I find the blast of the Nukes very disappointing, The damage radius is 10x larger than the explosive itself. WTF? Nukes could do more damage to tanks but overheat less.
In real servers, Nukes suck. Simple as that. They cost too much to research. They don't do enough damage. They overheat everyone.
We don't want to remove nukes because they can be balanced better or improved upon with later changes in the game, meaning that we are afraid of change? I think you are the one that needs to grow up. Yes, we all love empires, and yes we'd hate to see it changed based upon the whim of a dumb kid who knows he's more experienced and better than anyone else. Please, get over yourself.
