the new weasel settings

[sTuPiD-gErBiL]

the settings are great. thanks for testing it for me.
however, there's two things that need fixing:

1) as mattey pointed out, the cloaker doesn't need a repel anymore. it's already hard enough to hit as it is. and since it's usually entering flagroom from different entrances than other ships, there's no need for it to be able to surprise-repel mines.

2) i'm simply amazed that most of the pub terriers i just played against refused to use xradar. even when they know there's a mass invasion of cloakers around. EVEN AFTER THE CLOAKER WHO KEEPS KILLING THEM __TELLS__ THEM TO TURN XRADAR ON. unfortunately, there are some problems that setting changes just can't fix.

other than that, much fun so far. it's a little tricky getting used to the new energy drain. i think it'd be nice to at least be able to recharge a little bit slowly while fully cloaked, but i could deal with it either way.

wish the weasel is normal size, it has antiwarp now?

I think I'm going to stay away from pub for a while... stupid new terriers.

im pretty sure pub is now completely ruined... although cloakers are fun now

i feel trapped. im too concerned about my rec to play. i dont like the idea of cloakers having power anyway, regardless of what my rec is.

Minor issue-
Weasels can now spawn inside the circle at the front of the base, and there is no open tile for them to get out.

if a cloaker can stay cloaked without an energy drain it's just too strong.

Adding the energy drain to it makes it a challenging ship, instead of a lame one. It's more manouvrable, has faster bullets and is 1 tile, in return.

I think the energy drains too quickly; there is no more element of suprise when they can see you coming

[kumiankka]

now that the wasels are stronger the x-radar should be given to more ships. WB definately and lanc or spider should have one. maybe the same way javs have it drains energy.

I never liked the element of 'surprise' from a cloaker. Because there's nothing you can do against it. From one moment to another you're dead, isn't that great!

[sTuPiD-gErBiL]

you don't need more ships with xradar. you already have terrier and jav who spawn with it... and the shark can green it. as long as your terrier is paying attention, it's not a big deal.

i think the cloaks should get back to normal size...
because it is harder to kill em if they turn off the stealth or cloak(not for terr)
or its harder to guess to kill em if they appears and suddenly turn on cloak again..

[Mythrandir]

the weasel has been set back to its original settings, except that it's now 1 tile....

[Dameon Angell]

Basing is now a full fledged joke.

But, it was exciting being a terrier for once.

I dunno what to think about this one.

But, I think it was all the weasel whoring and everyone thinking they are "leet" after triple teaming me (3 weasels v 1 Terrier) and killing me, although I killed 2 of them. That is gonna make me think that I'd like to have them be more than 1 tile wide so they can't fit into the slots again.
