I already tried tossing and transing it, it wont leave the ship.

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=40408

At a guess*, I'm using a modified version of this new code. Either way, the item has both a size, is not equipped and yet cannot be tossed, sold, transferred or dropped.

This part, I have tested thoroughly.






*This wasn't really a guess for the more literal minded amongst you.

mmk cool.

Sticky non-equipable items cannot be removed from the ship.

It's nice to see something's finally being done about them.

I think my exact words on test were "Please don't go quoting stats or such like on the forum, as they're all under revision". Aura is the same thing - I'd already made the changes from the 1st build, it just saves me time if I don't have to rebuild test #1000 for each change I do (shield bank was because I wanted to see just how much bank a player could get from the ship, and if +shield charge / bank would be broken - and yes, it is)

Dropships / parasites should be working now, without instant destruction, which is the major sticking point with balancing this ship - the testing angle is that we've not had fighters / missiles who use parasites before, and we needed to see exactly how effective they were*. I'm going to have to tweak certain more things about them before they're usable, due to class effects & spamming issues (as is ever the case).

Missiles using parasites is a major step forward, in terms of the potential for Environmental damage effects, AoEs, Boss stuff and so on; one of the major issues we've had is that getting the environment (SOBs / background) to effect the player is simply not possible - cue lots of hacking around to get stuff done. You won't see anything but the end result, which I hope will be cool, but it involves this (i.e. invisible AoE missiles generating environmental damage and so on).





*Yes, 25 seconds kinda surprised me as well - I put stupidly high values on their debuffs because I expected them to need it for us to see it at all. /facepalm

I LOVE YOU.

Anyway, I use an ass behe on my ShM right now. Will I get these awesome new things automatically, or will I need to ask an admin to manually change it?

what if a Engineer wants to use an ass behe as a droner ship? but cant cuz of the inbuilt scoop?

hick hick... Ass Behe... hick hick.... lol.... hahahaha....

Then he builds the +, with a different inbuilt scoop, or he just uses a rhino like everyone else. I don't know of a single ass behe engineer right now, so it shouldn't cause a problem. Not every single player should be able to use every single ship equally.

well, no one used it cuz it only had 2 aug slots


now that it has 3, id consider it

The decision to make the vanilla Assault Behemoth not available to DMs was due to the fact that the relative difficulty to obtain the commod / build costs / design brief / resists would have made it overly powerful for DMs, and much cheaper / easier to obtain than a rhino. However, considering the build cost of the + version (35 - 40 billion, roughly) I opened it up to DMs.

I strongly suspect that a dedicated DM with the + version will rival a Rhino build.




Unfortunately, it looks like it will be a manual job - when I've ironed out the (large) kinks, and it goes live, I'll pass it over to Voom to handle - aug transition will be factored in - however, that is up to Voom; if you get a new Assault Behemoth+ with your old augs installed, don't moan.

im afraid i dont understand why on earth a 35-40b ship (just the cost of the +, i dont even know the standard ass behe build cost) in the hands of a 'dedicated' engi should simply rival the half assed standard build of a 25b ship...
