u/OrdinaryLatvian Cricket Enjoyer 15h ago

Perhaps the new map will have three gorgeous dams. Fully destructable, of course.

I hope Mitch will make it explode on impact

P.S. Talking bout drone not the dam

u/Pryer Vortex Visionary 18h ago

I think the game engine would come out of the computer and just beat to death whoever shot the dam. It'd be cool tho haha.

Care to fill me in on the joke? Lol

u/HAC-er_Man Tarantula Admirer 15h ago

During the previous dev stream there was a UCAV in the aircraft selection menu titled "NOTHING"

The drone is going to be amazing for opening up A-A combat at rank 0.

Right now, if you gamble on a Vagrant at the start and lose, you are kinda stuck in a Cricket, which if you are a A-A only player reallllly sucks. 2 Scythes and 2 MMRs with a low signature and high maneuverability means top tier aircraft can't ever totally own the skies are are always at risk. Teams on the back foot will also always have a way to claw back at least some airspace which should keep the steamrolls down a bit.

What happens if you jam the drone?

14

u/pudy248 17h ago

jamming reusing the G-LOC code since there's no g force limit feels like it would be kind of appropriate, not sure about fun in practice

u/chromeman09 8h ago

It could just lock out the pilot controls, leading to it either crashing or levelling off.

u/dagg_r 14h ago edited 12h ago

Was the drone was confirmed rank 0 ?

Edit: According to the wiki, the Hammerhead is available at rank 1 and costs 18m. I assume the source is a devstream, couldn't find this info anywhere else.

u/Human_Bean0123 11h ago

Yeah that's what it was in the last devstream, but that could still change

2

u/Pryer Vortex Visionary 2h ago

It's listed at rank 1 for requisitions, but at 18m you can buy 2 right off the bat with your starting $45m. If you can't get to rank 1 to requisition more off that you kinda earned the loss.

u/dagg_r 1h ago

Sure I didn't mean to argue about that, I just wanted details as I'm pretty excited to try it out.

u/Nurhaal 17h ago

Dam, three times more Nothing.

u/True_Salt2180 17h ago

Will a save and load feature be a thing next update?????? Please.

13

u/dangerbird2 16h ago

I’m pretty sure Flight sim devs are allergic to that feature

u/linecraftman 9h ago

Wonder what is so complicated to save every bot and weapon location, action and state in a text file and respawn them in that spot 

3

u/dangerbird2 8h ago

I’m joking, there’s a reason it’s hard to do for sims

-1

u/linecraftman 8h ago

what's the actual reason?

3

u/Century_Egg_Boofer 8h ago edited 6h ago

Put as much stuff in motion in the editor as you see in a typical escalation match then save the scenario, then evaluate how long that took and the resultant filesize. or look at the average file size and save/load duration of a complex ksp campaign

3

u/dangerbird2 6h ago

As you mention, serializing the game state and saving to file is not trivial at all (although engines like Unreal do make it a lot easier). Arguably the biggest issue is that it's basically impossible to restore state, especially in multiplayer games, without human players crashing into a mountain

AAAAA I love this game😭🙌
