Tacobandit Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well I gave the game another go, and unfortunately the game crashed on the second interception, so I guess I am cursed to never make it to month 3. Anyways, I was playing, and here are some things that kinda bugged me, and some things I found that I liked. The C4 packs are weak. I threw one at a brick fence and all it did was make a 1 tile crater. It didn't even hurt a xenonaut 2 tiles away from it, or destroy the brick fence. Needs to be buffed, or maybe you guys just haven't gotten around to it. Rockets are awful for building destruction. I fired an HE rocket at the broad side of a barn and made some nice smoke clouds. No damage to the wall though. Haven't tested AP yet. Map generation. This could be related to why the game crashed, but I went to a UFO landing, completed it, and then went to a UFO crash site and it was the EXACT SAME MAP. Is this like a placeholder or something? Lack of aliens. Good news. The landed UFO has more aliens than a crashed UFO. Bad news, it has 1 more alien than a crashed UFO. Should be a min of at least 5. Other than that, the game was pretty good. Im gonna start a 4th game and see if I can get to month 3 yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorzahg Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 C4 and HE rockets haven't been balanced yet because it's still alpha. Mod them if you want bigger explosions. There's not that many maps because it's still alpha. Go into to map creator if you want more variety. The number of aliens in UFOs hasn't been finalized. Mod more in if you think there's to few.

Gauddlike Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The C4 is set in the xml to have the same damage as the frag grenade (80) but slightly bigger radius (frag 2, C4 2.5). HE rockets are a little higher damage (90) and radius (3) while AP rockets are 120 damage and radius 1. Chris did mention that when the overdamage system is working fully that might be a reason to make these explosions bigger and more powerful. Their power would be balanced by the risk of missing out on looted equipment from the enemies. The new UFO art is not done yet. Once that is in place the number of aliens should be balanced around that. There are more levels in progress as well so more should be added in newer versions.
