shild reload time didn't need a buff (now it can get 2 shilds in the same fight!)
aoe is still too powerfull. We should try aoe = 1

You should read changelogs before posting

For the regen : a shield does not regenerate under fire. So I don't know where you get that idea.

problem is the tech2 bots speed for uef and cybran 3.6 (seraphim tech2 bot got 2.7 speed)
the unit intended for raiding: hover tanks speed is 3.7

suggest this to test: hoplite and mongoose speed to 3.2 like in diamond mod.(obsidian speed is 2.9, sera bot 2.7)
Heath normalized to 3599 levels mongoose 900, hoplite 650 -this optional to make up for speed balance

"pip:
...Speeds: 3603 introduced these heavy speed nerfs for some unknown reasons. But 3603 is not a bible, remember navy buildtimes. Speeds in 3599 made much more sense. ...
...Just because a unit says "heavy tank", doesn't mean it's a slow unit. Rhinos and pillars are said "heavy" because they are t2, but they are actually medium t2 assault units, Hoplite and Mongoose are light units; Riptides and Wagners are heavy assault units and yet they are much faster... "

when obsidian used against any other unit except tech2 bots this unit is totally fine. so these changes just make them less balanced
(Aeon obsidian health = 1250 (from 1000), shield = 1500 (from 1750), shield consumption to 5 (from 10)
4 hp regen per sec for the shield instead of 2.) = ( -37.5 mass cost, shield regen buff is a free veterancy)
bots still kite them due to speed, this doesn't fix this problem just makes stays the way they where(except the mass cost +shield buff)
want replay? was speed changed for obsidian or bots: -no, then look ladder games

the shield does not regenerate when hit but in between hits yes it does.

There is a delay (3 seconds if I remember correctly).

just tested with aeon scout spirit shoots every 2 sec and it start to regen before second shot

And again, averaging all units is NOT something I want. So it' won't be changed.

Since Obsidians AOE is removed, I suggest to also remove the muzzlechargedelay (set it to 0), as you did for the Aurora, since it's the main reason why Obsidians tend to waste lots of shots compared to other t2 units.

True..

I will also fix the regen delay as it seems to not work for personal shields.

[Ze_PilOt]

The recharge time was indeed one second, changed to 3.

make MuzzleChargeDelay 0.1 not 0 or u wont hear the sound effect

Spoiler: show

MuzzleChargeDelay: delay the firing of the projectile.

...muzzlechargedelay (set it to 0), as you did for the Aurora...

True..

Might I suggest an AOE of 0.2?

1 - The FX make it look like a blast which should have AOE, but doesn't.
2 - The shots often miss by a hair. 0.2 is enough to ensure most near-misses do damage, and mitigate the charge delay.
3 - This small an AOE will not make it any stronger VS T1, except in exceptional circumstances where they are very bunched up.


From my testing, it was a good change all around.
