Post 5 things you love in 0.4.x release!
« on: January 07, 2011, 01:07:31 PM »
As in topic: 5 things you love in 0.4.x release!
It's been roughly one and a half a week since initial 0.4.0 release, so we've all managed to get familiar with all the new features and initial "wow" cooled down. So now it's time to show devs what's your really favorite stuff in new release :)

List only, no discussion please! For talks we have many other topics.
Here's just list of things you like most in 0.4.0-0.4.3 releases!

Remember to post also things you don't like!

  • BA HUD -  8)
  • Changes to NARC - waited soooooo long for it, glad to have it! Future request: more NARC nerf!
  • More restrictive heat system - no more forgiving of all the mistakes! Good direction
  • Improvements in weapons - that RACs behave more like BTU counterparts, that SRMs do less cockpit shake, that PPC has the ERPPC damage output (as in BTU), that sometimes it's damn difficult to pick best variant (as long as ATMs ain't involved)
  • Aerospace flight model - ASFs move slower, no 50G turns, no insta-break, improved landing... love this stuff!

1. The SIEGE ENGINE Madcat MkII "E" Variant.  The thing is freaking awesome and priced pretty low too.  I love the GECM on it.  8)

2. Shadowcat D and E.  The D is a freaking hunter due to the BHP and GECM combo paired with the long ranged weaponry.  The E is probably my favorite brawler mech.  I love the agility of the SCAT in general.

3.  New heat system.  You actually have to manage heat now, and flamers are scary when you're in a laserboat.

4.  Terrain Control is much needed, I love it.  I try to get my friends to play, and one of their biggest complaints about previous versions was the lack of objective.  I think we could streamline the maps and base locations a bit to allow for better flow of battle though.

5.  Heavy Lasers and ATMS.  The sound on the HLs is very visceral, kudos on that.
