Year 12 Day 90 10:21 Weapon Ranges
Tiali Bixa-Loca

Was looking at the weapon stats this morning, and noticed they now list 'Min/Max Range' & 'Min/Max Hits', but all the thrown weapons have a max range of 0 and everything has 'Max Hits: 3'

Ah was wondering if that is because the code was added 'across the board' and haven't gotten around to all the weapons yet, or if thrown weapons, like Stun Grenades, are not actually ranged weapons

You can throw a grenade over 2 kilometers?

Sure, if it's a low gravity asteroid.

So, they are not ranged, they are PBAoE (or maybe just AoE)

The 0-3 is just the default thing used to test on dev, the actual ranges will be different. The 2km x 2km thing was mentioned at dev over lunch, in regards to facilities, and there's really no good way of handling it, especially when you consider that a 1x1 statue is really 2 square km. Not bothering to mention a 1x3 tavern or things of that sort.

Which is why for awhile, several of us suggested turning "facilities" into districts and the like.

Tavern = Entertainment District, Statue = Memorial Park, Personal Residence = Suburban Development, etc.

Or we could just pretend its a game with map squares that don't need a defined imaginary size.

Thank you Jesfa, that's what ah thought, well, it makes sense now anyway (the numbers being used are just an arbitrary figure so Sin & Clarr can have fun beating each other)

Like the tabletop RPG?

Oh wait... They have sizes attributed to them too. Oh drats. Most games do!

Nowhere in the rules does it mention that city squares are 2km x 2km.

They did until you removed it on January 12, 2010.

The rules do say it simply through how the speed skill works. Speed 0 is 4km per hour and it moves at such a rate that it makes the squares 2kmx2km. It's just how it is, unless you're going to change how the movement system works.

Removing where it mentioned the spaces being 2x2 km is the equivalent of sweeping dirt under a rug. It's still there.

Yawn. Then how come characters can walk around a city at a disproportional speed much faster than ships?

Yes, but this game doesn't need to.

That would depend, is it a new update?

Read under speed. It's always worked like that.
