Phantoms doing too much friendly fire

sort
NanoPirate 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) in 50% of games i lose units to friendly fire from phantoms, this has to end maybe we can limit friendly fire damage from phantoms to 50% of a units health or something like that? especially, tall and expensive units like felons often die to friendly fire from phantoms... +2 / -0
chaplol 5 months ago The other problem is phantoms shooting each other. Which sucks in itself..... but they explode and uncloak their neighboring phantoms! Really silly way to lose a group of phantoms. +1 / -0
Stuart98 5 months ago The solution isn't a special phantom specific friendly fire damage reduction, it's improving phantom AI so they stop shooting friendly units that are between them and their target. +2 / -0

bbar97 5 months ago I think the problem is just that at the exact time that they fire, there is no friendly unit in the way, but due to the projectile speed, if a friendly steps in the way it could get hit. It's micro intensive, but there is a way to position your units so that it's minimized. +0 / -0
Eridug 5 months ago Reminds me of the Cerberus. There is me trying to build a shield wall to make forward movement, and I'm getting splash damage from automated fire in my general direction. One reason I like laser based weapons, more friendly to your own side. +0 / -0
cooolcat1239 5 months ago i agree with stuart just make the AI similar to what they did to firewalker +0 / -0
Silent_AI 5 months ago Increased projectile speed? +0 / -0
NanoPirate 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) well its probably easier to do a damage reduction than to change the AI also, maybe reducing friendly fire damage in general wouldnt hurt, especially in large team games changing projectile speed might also be a solution, maybe it could be like a laser instead that has to charge up for the same time the projectile would have to travel,and it just cancels the shot when a friendly unit gets in line of fire +0 / -0
