Thats the point. This is not an oversight. |
I know it's not an oversight. But if you want to render the entire powergrid permanently unusable you should do so directly rather than pretending there's any randomness to it. Nor should everything everywhere be permanently broken, as stated this is a particular issue with ARES where the APC is unreachable. |
The powergrid is no longer allowed to have any available power. The randomness is just to make areas depower randomly over time, but it should be sooner than later (as in not waiting for full cell discharge - especially when APCs can be loaded with some absurdly sized cells). I don't really care about desperate attempts to unshort the APC because it will then later just occur again. I especially dislike this change affecting hijack strategic areas since marines should already be trying to defend those areas so them not losing power wouldn't affect them. But I'm not keen on say the core being powered then this encouraging marines to flock there. |
|
If people flock to the core they die. Staff and WJ players can and will eject people from the core by force and staff can make the turrets shoot marines. |
|
Hijack should generally be in xeno's favor. Ground crash is when marines failed so hard at hijack, their ship didn't even start to move away before the xeno's compromised the entire fueling system. It's supposed to be a game state where the ship is fucked. |
About the pull request
Mainly an issue with ARES, but having every single APC break with 5% chance each tick renders them pointless really as they all will break within a minute.
Explain why it's good for the game
This will at least mean the critical areas are more resistant, and will stop the unreachable APC in ARES from breaking.

balance: APCs that do not break on crash will not short circuit either.
