The Garnut Popular Post Nutter 15,167 Posted April 19, 2023 The Garnut Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2023 Droid Ambushes Players exploring anaxes may be ambushed by groups of droids, going outside by yourself is a dangerous mission. The further you are out from base, the more dangerous droids may be Jetpacks Currently, Jetpacks are the second biggest FPS and performance issue present on the server, and they are overused to a large degree - borderline abused at all times of the day In order to stabilize server performance and balance the use of jetpacks, the classes which may utilize the jetpack have been limited, and the over-powered jetpack fuel levels have been optimized to allow a total of ~12 seconds of flight time before having to land and re-generate (previously 28). The fact we had allowed players to fly across the entire map with very little fuel consumption for so long is ridiculous, but that is my fault for not addressing this sooner. To balance out lesser fuel, recharge rate has also been significantly buffed from 40 seconds to 100%, down to 10 seconds. Finally, the FPS degregation from jetpacks have been optimized as I re-wrote big portions of the code base: files affected jetpack_base.lua HUD Updated to be boring white outline with a black box, like every other Garnet UI Before: Objectively worse Classes Coruscant GuardCoruscant Guard : Commanding Officer Added DC19LE, Dual Extended DC17, 50 Health spawn buff Removed: DC15LE, Dual DC17 Coruscant Guard : Executive Officer Added: Dual DC17 Extended, Republic Shield, Republic Shield W/DC 17, 50 Health spawn buff Removed: CG Shield, CG Shield W/ Dc 17, DC17 Extended Coruscant Guard : Warden Added: Republic Shield, Republic Shield W/ DC 17 Removed: CG Shield, CG Shield W/ DC15-s Coruscant Guard : ARF Tracker Added: DC19LE, Grapple Hook Removed: DC15LE Coruscant Guard : ARF Trapper Added: Dual DC15-s, Grapple Hook Removed: CR-2C Miscellaneous Job Switching Job switch notifications have been removed, when players change classes now it'll be silent as to avoid metagaming during events Hackable Consoles Overhead display added & optimized for performance Force Powers Force Repulse no longer pushes props, only NPCs and other players 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment
mzab1xz 26 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Honestly, i would put jetpack recharge to 15 seconds, people will still find an excuse to complain about it because it'll recharge too fast or whatever. Overall is fine Quote Link to comment

Forums Moderator Python 454 Posted April 20, 2023 Forums Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2023 even as RANCOR, im super happy jetpacks where nerfed. how i see them, they should be a mobility tool not a transportation device. the next thing id say changing about them is to remove a lot from classes. i just think there are too many. 42 slots with jetpacks. thats almost half the max pop with jetpacks (theoretically) also L @Glorbnobyou can no longer grab my vultures! 2 Quote Link to comment
