AP Tower site with SAM battery and the new devices

Post by **Chrisax** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 3:57 pm

This is the tower site of AP on beta (Mort 3 site).

Here are the new devices.

The laser tagging device is the center point for laser strikes. Laser strikes at level 220ish do something like 5k damage x 3 times in a row (edited thx to Sillanto: I thought it was only x2). Not enough in my opinion if we consider they should be "wipe-out" weapons.

There are several kind of mines, requiring Mech engi and Elec Engi skills to be placed (500ish-600ish at ql 250ish): explosive (damage), root, ssnare... They won't be in the release as a bug was found and should be added in a later patch.

SAM site close-up

SAM sites don't count a for a personal tower but the count as a "turret" tower and must follow the planting rules for turrets.
It is unclear ATM is they count or not in the total number of towers allowed on a site (60).
The number of SAM sites required to offer decent protection versus air strikes is not yet clear.

I think someone posted on the LE forums saying it was 5kx3 but this still isnt enough. it barely breaks cocoon and layers.

The launch console in the HQ looks good.

It's a bug. See:

If it goes to Public servers like that... it's a nightmare.

Alpha... you really don't know the meaning of a beta

Post by **Chrisax** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 9:28 pm

The meaning of a beta is to FIX thing BEFORE they go live, in the best possible way.

The concern in this thread
http://www.athenpaladins.org/forums/vie ... hp?p=13599
is of course not that there are bugs in a beta but that some serious bugs can be transfered to public servers.
