Stingray - two seat manta with a goliath primary
Omega - ion cannon raptor
Venom - bio raptor NOTE this is being updated to the Mark II Venom in the new vehicle pack
MegaManta - Alpha* version of a giant manta.. it is unfinished

The weapon Pack contains the following:

Quantum Cannon - super weapon avril.. hehe fire it at something and you will see..
Gack - bio flak cannon
Micro Grenade Launcher - fires tiny sticky mines that stick to nearly everything..
Super Link Gun - links slower but never runs out of ammo!
ToePopper - *Alpha version of a flak cannon that fires a bunch of mines at once... NOTE it is broken and needs to be fixed.. will be updated in the next weapons pack..

Anyway, I hope you guys like these. If you do tell a mapper to get them into maps asap..

Cheers,

Scott

Well modified Mantas having secondary gunner seem rather unpractical for me.
The Ion Cannon Raptor seems rather imba to me People are already having difficulties at taking out Ion Tanks.
As for that bomber... Maybe you could add other gunners, because the bomb and that close range blast won't be enough for it imho.

Petya,

I have heard all this before. I try to make vehicles that are balanced and not over powered..

It is very practical in a map with a bunch of Super vehicles. The Sting Ray mantas second seat fires plasma projectiles. They are incredibly powerful but inaccurate whilst moving at top speed. Also, the primary fire has the same inaccuracy as the default goliath. Furthermore, it is weighed to feel "heavier" and has a much slower acceleration then a regular manta. In other words.. its slow to react, not easy to control nor very accurate, but if you hit someone.. well they die quickly It is in a map on omni and so far has gotten good feedback.

The Omega Ion raptor is also balanced.. It only fires every 7 seconds. Second, you can only fire it straight out. You must fly towards a target and swoop down in a "bombing run" to hit anything. Plus, you can only fire up if u are flying backwards. In other words, you can not stand still and spam. Third, it only had 225 health and moves slightly slower then a regular raptor. It is avril bate. Trust me a good pilot might be able to do some damage but in play testing it never survives more then 2 or 3 shots at a time. Again, tried to balance it out.

As for the bomber. The bomber was unfinished and glitchy as hell. It took the better part of 3 hours to "hack" a class to get it to fire. It simply can not have more guns. Second, it is called the Enola Gay B29 Bomber for a reason. it has 3500 health and can take a pounding. It does have a secondary energy blast, that if timed right, can deny avrils, but its tough to do.. Finally, the Atom Bomb it fires every 15 seconds will destroy a node in 1 shot and destroy the core in 4 shots.. It is has more then enough range. The standard deemer and levi blast is 2000 the Atom Bomb has a range more then 3x that. I think I have it set at 6500. A good gauge of that is if you are on torlan and I bomb the node on top of the corner hill and land a direct hit. It will kill anything out to where the goliath spawns at that node.

I ask that you and everyone else talk to mappers to get them into maps and try them out before passing judgement. We coders/moders put a lot of time and effort into this stuff just to try to bring something new and run to a very old game.

Thanks anyway, I appreciate the interest non the less

Scott

Wellcome to this forum Castiel and thank you for sharing your work here, too. Feel free to post everything you want, also feedback to maps is always wellcome.

Be nice to him, Castiel is an Angel.

___________________________________________________
For all: (no ofence to anyone just in general)
Feedback should be constructive and not emotional unless it's positive.
An example: "Thats a very good map." is fine and nice. But something like: "Bad map." or just "Unballanced" is not nice.. it is not helpfull in anyway, there are no informathions in it.. the only thing what happends is that you piss the one who put his/her time for you in it off.
They put hours in there work so you can put some minutes in a constructive feedback, thoughts, ideas how to improve and why.
It's not only for the forum, also ingame.. when you have feedback be constructive and not a lazy typing guy. Also be specific and try that your writings are not open for interpretation. When you can't do/want doing that just write something like "thank you".
As a reminder:
THINK:
True Helpful Inspiring Necessary Kind
