POLL: Should Javelins get XRadar back?

[Jean-Philippe]

Doesn't really matters, but I still voted no. Heck, I think the current setting give an added incensitive to try out a lanc every once in a while, which is all I care about.

I never really cared about javs before with their xradar, and I still won't if they get it back, always or with greens. By the time the terr warn them, I've already lined up for the hole and am preparing to rocket my way to the flag. More often than not they just tk some poor sucker who happen to be in my way.

Lancaster are the real threat now, but nobody play lanc, so I'm happy 8)

Everyone should still consider the fact that javs can be used as a solo-esque ship. You can go to the roof or even lower base as a private frequency jav and do some damage. And once any minute amount of damage is done to an enemy team someone immediatly changes to cloaker and kills the jav. Javs need x radar to be able to defend themselves against the thrust-bullet combo of weasels.

Yes, but rather than make it slowly drain energy, I suggest you have it instantaneously drop one's energy down to just below the level of being able to fire a bomb. Once there it would stay there and go no lower. Turn it off and you have to recharge before firing.

It's my hope that by doing this, you might be able to prevent javs in flagroom from toggling x-radar on/off rapidly and firing wildly at every cloaker that happens to fly by.

javs need to be able to green more energy depletion greens

[death row]

give javs shraps again. lol

[Suh]

Give it to the spiders instead.

and more people would be spiders.. GOOD IDEA!


^-^

[Doc Flabby]

javs have shrap


i think we need a new campain

BRING BACK THE FAT WEASEL

I blame its demise on discrimination

[Vas Flam Por]

Yes! Javelins are almost defenseless vs. weasels

This is the idea I was thinking of. However it's not possible jas. There's no way for xradar to take away x energy and then slowly drain the rest. The settings only allow you to drain a constant amount of energy.

I think you slightly misread my post, dude. I'm saying make it just like the terrier's x-radar. In a terrier, when you activate x-radar, your energy drops one point to 1499. Why can't we just make javs drop to say 750 and stay there, then once you take off x-radar, you have to recharge back up to 1100 before you can fire a bomb?

P.S. 750 is just a number I pulled out of the air. You could certainly throw in whatever was agreed upon by the majority.

I'm wondering, why do javs have xradar in the first place, and not wb or spiders?

Oh, ok. I like that idea. Provided no more than 1/4 of the energy was taken from javs.

My first impression to this was to say no simply because weasels would be very easily killed by javs while crawling through tiny holes...a jav's dream. So I thought that lanc holds xradar well...but who uses lancs? And having thought about it more, weasels have become really annoying since the change.

I think that this poll shouldn't be about whether or not to bring xradar back to javs...it should be about whether or not to go back to the old settings (ie: large weasel, jav w/xradar, lanc settings...still questionnable in my mind because no one really uses them).

So my vote is yes bring back the xradar, and I suggest to make another poll...whether or not to change things back.

PS Richard, you've always hated everything that's against you staying alive in FR. Remember you LT hating days? I'm sure you still hate them and all, but nowadays things have changed.
Love, Me.

Bring x radar back, yes.
I do think the xradar shouldn't take any energy. It's hard aiming, bombing and watching the energy in time. You have to put on xradar like 2 seconds and bomb. Kinda sucks.

It's really not that difficult. I just kind of habitually tab the End key cycling X-Radar on/off. Err, I used to... yes, bring it back!

The only reason that happens is because the xradar drain is significantly less than the recharge rate, while still being greater than 0. If it takes any nonzero amount of energy, it will always take at least one energy away each "cycle".
