Getto gunships and the lack of regen

Postby psychkik » 26 Jan 2015, 12:11

Greetings

I played a game last night and this happened. I got myself two getto gunships to kill a lone ACU.
this went fairly well but one of them got picked off by a factory stream of inti. nothing wrong here.
the last one was going to die to t2 flak so I moved away to harass some other places.

This is where my problem begins. My last gunship was untouched for about 30 sec when he moved his flak in and killed it.
it was already down to +- 100 hp so one lone shot could kill it. with a bit of vet and regen I could have saved it and moved on to other places. my labs killed quite a few stuff in the time they were alive. but my transport has no weapons so not vet for him.
Is there anything we can do about it? or should I be more care full and replace the transport (is a bit expensive E Wise)

Kind regards -Psychkik

GG is an exploit (well accepted now though).

Have you noticed that most of the units do not fire when in transport ?????

Why the hell would the transport get vet for kills it didn't do!!!???? You do realize it's the LABS that should get the vet, not the transport. :roll:

aha was under the impression that gg was a thing that you everybody thought was a valuable option.
It does seem a bit weird if you put it like that.

as i thought it was just another cheese I figured lets make it be a bit more useful.

thx for the reply

Well except you might need to use "bug" instead of "exploit". Everything I said still stands as true.

GG is no exploit. The labs specifically have "firefromtransport = true" as opposed to other units who have this on off.

Shields don't get veterancy either, regardless of how much damage the absorb.

wtf are you on about? GG is a documented and extremely deliberate feature, not an exploit. Whether a unit can or cannot fire while inside a transport is directly controlled from unit blueprints...

He'd better stop that then. Anyway, the GG is explained in the SupCom tutorial.

Pls he's asking for the transport and not the shooting unit to get vet :).
