Natty Bumppo's G66 2.0, BETA For PB5.1

[Red Devil]

Thanks,   It will; just be sure to delete the G66 2.0 folder before extracting a new zip.

[squirrelof09]

Red Devil, I was playing around in G66v2 Drought. I had Animals on the map. Anyway, as a pilot, the jak killers could not kill me. It just made a grunting noise. I checked the jak killers on a stock DM map, they kill there.

G66 is Evil, just it's missing something that supposed to make it a bit more evil

*One-touch-of-evil-added later*

Made Ice Rhinos happy, too.

RED,

When will XBonesII map be fixed?  It looks fun, but all the pools are floating in the air.

I just tried it and they weren't.  Using Beta 28?

[wingnut1]

I see that now..   Yikes...   I've never experienced a scout rush before...  lol..   messy early in a game.   

Great work, love the fast ships in the DM maps with the fast auto-healing.  You guys are doing a great job.

What should I do?

[Red Devil]

We're having a squirrel problem lately, so just keep trying.

[squirrelof09]

xD. But do you really think I was the cause of that?

[Red Devil]

I think so, but, well, maybe not. Maybe a provoker.

Couple of ideas to make your fast ships more interesting:

• Alternate Scion Drone: Ditch the blast and give it some kind of constant beam class weapon to dish out more damage and more effectively prevent a shadower lock (hard to aim with beam in your face)
• Scion Drone: Have morphed form weaker health, no weapons, but allow it to fly the speed of rush constantly.
• Thunderbolt: Have the lasers fire similar to assault mode, alternating rapidly. Keeps the action pumping.
• Thunderbolt: Add a much more powerful version of ramjet, called hyperdrive or whatever, that boosts you 2-3x the speed of ramjet. Use is limited to once per spawn. Used to counter the morphed drone.
• Something I'd like to see in alternates but not prioritize: Have both rush and ramjet a "hold to use" type weapon with maybe a 1.5x faster recharge...afterburner type thing rather than a single burst.

More for the hell of it:

• More variety: Mortar bike with quick alternating low-dropoff mortars. Slower in velocity than other ships, but has much greater jump. It's version of rush could be something to make it rocket upwards.
• Some Scion equivilent to the above as soon as I can think of it.

Things I like:
Concept
The sound of rush makes me LOL every time!

Look at either GBD's hyperdrive weapon in his chaos weapon pack, or my mini-worm drive in the addon pack (sure someone around here has access to it)

[bb1]

Never heard of either.
Sorry if I invoked your plagiarism sensors.

[Red Devil]

Thanks for the suggestions, bb1. 

I'm actually thinking of getting rid of the shadower since it gives them a big edge.

I tried GBD's pack once and soon realized that I had already made versions of those weapons/specials before that...

I originally had the laser fire like assault does (have it on the BugZappers), but it gives an edge, too.

I have a fast Sabre I may add.

I may remove the DM version Mega Mountain from the zip, because ships tend to get stuck in those crags.  That, or give them more jump.
