Two questions: #1. What was Lerk 2.0 supposed to be? #2. Did anyone else see Lerk 2.0 task disappear off the list? I cannot even find it on the dev tracker anymore.

Nooooooooo! (Late-game upgrade is fine, provided it gets in the same time the other changes do!)

From the developer posts, it looks like that was an issue with their hit system (spikes, snipe, and marines missing): <a href="http://getsatisfaction.com/unknownworlds/topics/fundamental_problem_with_hit_detection_identified#reply_6265827" target="_blank">http://getsatisfaction.com/unknownworlds/t...d#reply_6265827</a>

Better flight model, better spikes, reworking spores and general better role definition. A preliminary pass was done on all that stuff, but still a lot of work left to do. The task is still on our list, it just has been bumped by a lot of higher priority tasks for the moment.

I've been practicing my sniping.
I'd gladly give up lerk snipe as long as the regular spikes are hitscan.
