Belmakor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 1. Flares should be able to be picked up again once thrown (I think this is planned). 2. Flares need there own animation (i.e not a grenade). 3. Flares should hiss and give out 1 tile of the wispy grey/white smoke (the type of smoke caused by plasma hitting the ground). They are abit lack-lustre at present. A groovy new hissing sound effect would add to the ambience in night missions - breaking the silence between screams! 4. Each soldier should have 3 flares, 2 flares isn't quite enough (though this might be intentional so as to make them more valuable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I agree on all points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusherven Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 1. Yeah. 2. Why? What would be different? 3. I'd buy that. Night missions already have that awesome music going for them. 4. Eh, sure, if we can't pick them up. I'd add to this list that it would be nice if they lit up immediately rather than waiting until the next action.

GizmoGomez Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The grenade just looks off. Kinda like when you fire a rocket and it shows the lame original HE and not the Alenium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 By animation do you mean the projectile or the soldier throwing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmakor Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Sorry yeh I meant the projectile. It should be relatively painless to mod In I would imagine if the dev team don't get round to it. On 4) I was thinking that the flares would burn out after about 3 turns. Is it my imagination or don't they already disappear after about 3 turns presently?

GizmoGomez Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 They shouldn't burn out for quite some time, if we're using actual quality flares and not pieces of junk. So, they shouldn't burn out in ground combat in my opinion, if only to make it less annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
