New Resource Model?

philmcneal · April 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Hm</div> To be honest the current one seems fine to me why did Flayra wanted to change it? And what is new with the upcoming resource model?

Any leaks or information shared?

Edit: is it just me or the search function keeps giving me errors

No information on it will be released yet, so dont bother even speculating.
Yes, te forums are periodically messed up. Fix? Dunno, been working on it for months..

Well, the current one is fine when used with the correct number of players: I think 6v6 is the fairest, I'm not sure. However, when it's lower than that, aliens have an advantage. When it's higher, marines get an advantage. In a 10v10, marines only need to secure two or three RTs to ensure that the coffers start to overflow. This ends up spoiling the game somewhat.

As for new resource models - I don't envy Flayra that task. IMHO, it must be about the hardest thing to balance correctly, right up there with weapon/equipment stats.

Yeah, try playing on a 24 person server. You'll see how messed up the res system is. I find 14 or 16 players is the right number to get pretty even games.

New resource model = new game to learn = fun <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

the res system is totally messed right now, i dont see how you think its fine, in-game with their base rt only the marines can recycle 1 structure and have jp/hmg before you have near a second hive

Yeah, the alien upgrade model is sort of monotonous right now, 1.1 should give us a lot more room for flexibility.
