- einhander, einhander P, valkazard can now capture points
Okay, now to be contrarian
: I'm actually not sure I like this. For my part, I was fine with the previous implementation of strikecraft not being able to point capture, period, and with how strong these units are otherwise, I felt like not being able to point capture was a fair trade for being able to repair mid-fight. It also gets a little squiffy game-feel-wise for why these units can do it but not others of their size, but then how points are "captured" anyway is far more gameplay-centered than ~lore~ anyway.
The inability to capture points wasnt ever really a balance decision but moreso a consequence of the implementation for mimicking fighter characteristics. The only reason those 3 are different is because they were changed to be identified by frigates for AI purposes, which brings about the side effect of being able to capture points. I honestly prefer it this way more, because it completely circumvents my hacky attempts that keeps the other strikecraft from capping points (which they also can ignore via a specific method I have no way to work around with the current state of the API)
As for why they can do it, I guess *insert anime prototype bs*
consider it a tradeoff for being treated as a full-scale ship as opposed to a regular fighter, which is a massive boon in and of itself (See: Karleen soloing ziggurat)
I -could- just do the same thing with Aleste and Leynos, though. The only reason I didn't was because I wasn't sure how badly it'd impact their survivability - but they aren't too far off from frigates statswise (not to mention they can repair anyway) and it'd also eliminate the slightly cheesy nature of the vaunted dual-blade dual-reaper aleste.
Getting the same renderSlotCovers crash as above, this time with the Altagrave-RS. Am on JRE8, if that helps.
Btw, love the Wingcom feature.
AAAAARedownloading should fix this. sorry
