<div class="IPBDescription">Making Robo builds viable</div>Longtime NS player, longtime NS2 forum lurker, see requests for quality I&S to tweak developer concepts rather than revoking them. These are the result. Statistics here are only an example to illustrate the concept.
<b>Problem</b>
MACs die too easily at the moment.
Welding marines is difficult, MAC does not help unless ordered to manually.
<b>Idea Concept/Summary</b>
MACs now only lose armour, NOT HP to Bilebomb, unless on direct hit.
MACs receive upgrade - Self-Repair (7 TR)
MACs receive upgrade - Smart-Repair (7 TR)
<b>Self-Repair</b>
MACs regenerate HP/Armour.
<b>Smart-Repair</b>
MACs auto-fire a "nanorepair-glob" at nearby armour-damaged marines, restoring 20 armour over 3 seconds (non-stackable) - this is to make it easier to code and work.
MACs will follow armour-damaged marines for a short distance to try to repair them, but return to origin point once marine is out of this radius, unless MAC is specifically ordered to follow/weld. This allows MACs to provide a combat/forward armour boost.
Synergistic with my "Sentry Turret rework" idea.
