TOPIC: [SSRP] Gluon gun, why?

So I was ingame when someone tried to set off a nuke. Withing 30 seconds, it had been destroyed. Of course, the raider used a gluon gun, laying waste to the entire base. As long as you're smart there should never be a way to lose it, considering it's a 1 hit kill and is constantly firing.

Here is the video how i destroyed the nuclear launch

Just because he doesnt like one part of the deal, doesnt mean he has to discard it, Zarp has a ton of great things, a custom ui, custom rules, a great community etc.

There is no server out there which we would rather play on, but that doesnt mean its perfect and that it cant be improved. Are you basically saying that youre not going to listen to the players until they start quitting? Because thats a little late.
Just go back to the model of explosives and weapons serving two different purposes, nobody would ever use an orbital strike to kill another player.
But thats the problem, when you add a gun that can oneshot anything anywhere, then there is no counterplay.

A raids outcome should mostly be decided by the skill of the players, not the amount of time they have been afk, printing in their bases. I dont care how much money they put at stake, because usually they will have plenty of it, compared to the guy getting smashed, also nobody raids to make money.

I could deal with the orbital strikes and the milkors because once they where over, the raiders still had to enter the base with their aks and fight.

It doesnt create a fun experience, when a raid ends the attacker will feel like a cheater and the defender will feel like quitting.

Hi everyone.

I have decided to leave the staff team, since i find it hard to agree with the way some things are being done nowadays, im not gonna go into details, if you want them then you can contact me privately.

Long story short its a combination of alot of small things and a few big ones, i want you to know that i have enjoyed my time here and that i have always tried being the best administrator i can be.

I'm not going to make a thank you list as it simply feels like im stomping on the people that arent going on it rather than being nice to the people who are, they know who they are, besides alot of those people wouldn't be here to read it anyways.

Ciao!

@Red

I think we misunderstood each other here, it was never my intention to put you on the defensive, i was simply trying to have a neutral discussion around something i consider an issue, i was not in any way trying to attack you or your work, because you're doing a great job, which is exactly what makes your server number one.

I realize that my previous posts may have been poorly written and i take full responsibility for the outcome.

I criticize things; not because i cynically hate them, but because i hope it can help things which i already like improve, in this case the server.

I wasn't trying to defend The Eliminator, i was just trying to reformulate his perspective to make it seem logical, i took the last part from you using him not having quit yet as an argument for things working out, however it was a rude and uncalled for, sorry.

The thread where you assumed i was trying to buy a gluon gun was a case of Danish sarcasm, i will try to find it and edit it. My resignation had no relation to the gamemode in general.

Hopefully you can see it from my perspective and accept my apoligy, please just understand that i wasnt trying to be rude.

Anywho. This is just Gems expressing his feelings about the Gluon Gun.

I on the otherhand, I don't mind being defended, put forward, attacked, etc. As long as it doesn't annoy me.

Just nerf the gluon gun pls. I mean like, it's expensive, but once you get it, you're basically invincible.

It can't be that bad because If I was playing somewhere and I didn't like it I would of found somewhere that as things I do like. I hear there is a couple servers out there that have a couple glocks.

Anyways in my opinion its fine I see plenty of people losing them and plenty of people risk losing them to raid a base with a printer that as only 30k in them so the benefits of raiding with them isn't really HIGH at all. The issue is that people can't adapt or learn to build their base around the special weapons. ( well some can't but most people learn tricks to do this ) people was complaining about the Orb strike and now it's just a not as "OP" because now they know to double up their props and it doesn't really do much damage.
