yea lol thanks for indulging my noobishness.

Idk I just thought that since this was a mod that maybe it would have an advantage (slight advantage) over the Standard troopers.

I wasn't thinking of like NumGum's level of invincibility but just something that can maybe survive UniTec soldiers. I currently have the UniTec as my activities for skirmishes and I use different mods to see how well they stand up against them. UniTec I think is well balanced and I use that as a standard.

This mod is brilliant.

Question: You made the jet packs more powerful than average but with shorter bursts -- did you do this because it makes these clones more agile in a low-gravity environment, or was that just a happy accident?

It's wiggly and wobbly like that because of the sprite offsets he set.

Please explain. The only sprite offsets I have edited is that of the helmet, breastplate and jetpack. Everything else is vanilla Browncoat Heavy

Go ahead and TRY to break the Ahnihilator

Actually, that was because bubsy said it was really heavy and unable to fly very far Thunder Toes wrote: It's wiggly and wobbly like that because of the sprite offsets he set. Please explain.

These guys can beat a dreadnought in one-on-one, or maybe even a copule of them and countless amount of dummies, so the price is ok and can be even higher for such an armor.

Everything else is vanilla Browncoat Heavy That's good though -- these guys are for more maneuverable in space than Coalition troops. EDIT: You might consider toning down the gun, though. It's really quite powerful, and can take out a crowd of armoured clones and dummies in just a few seconds.

Actually, I think the Garrett should have its power ramped up so it's useful to salvage them to combat enemy NovaMinds.

I think the LMG is good but needs a more solid gun round. The mortor thingy is just a little ridiculous. I think it should be scratched or changed. It seems like a good weapon but I think the mortar rounds need to be less curvy and more straight-ish. Btw, why is the ammo count for the LMG set at 52? That makes absolutely no sense.

Because there are 52 bullets in the clip. And the Anti-Spacesuit carbine is a copy of his earlier mod, dummy drunken missile launcher. I think he should add the other one too.

Post subject:	Re: [WIP] NovaMind
Not really a copy, more of a remod of it as it was perfect for what I was thinking about for the SN-15. I haven't really messed a lot with the balancing on those yet. edit: Bulking up to make the Medium. I am having Grif cook up some anti air missiles. We will see how it goes

So, for the shoulder missile pods. Should they be a single use weapon or reloading? Grif is telling me he can do either Also, initial railgun sprite+animation

Post subject:	Re: [WIP] NovaMind
Are they going to be able to be fired when the actor has another weapon selected? Like, fired by a seperate key? I think they should be reloadable in any case, because single-use weapons seem kinda pointless in CC, you'll use it on a single actor or maybe a small group and then never again, but the enemies will just keep coming. Maybe have some static facility to have them reloaded rather than the spacesuit its self having an infinite supply of ammo. If not, multiple but limited use would be ideal.

Probably going to go with triple-tap sharpaim/inventory to fire, and if general consensus is such, gradually reloading.

I'd like to see that, means you can fire them to supplement fire from the main weapon when fighting large numbers of weak targets, or let it reload fully to kill a heavy actor. Maybe have it so as each rocket is loaded, the next one loads slightly faster so it's more viable and rewarding to execute a heavy attack rather than constantly spamming rockets when fighting a tough enemy? Not sure how possible this would be though, my understanding of Lua is limited to the point of not understanding it at all.

Yeah, I vote a slowly reloading rocket pack. And to fire the rockets, is holding the command menu open for, say, 2-3 seconds plausible? I'd like that more.
