Hmm. Its possible to branch off and sneakly integrate TargetDisallow = NULL ? ^^

Because the server and client underpinnings aren't there yet.

This goes back to my question: "Why is EQ still not one of the ranked game modes?"

Extra stuff just for the nerds:

The chronodamp is a weapon that releases a quantum temporal field. The field freezes targets in time. Calling it an EMP weapon would be incorrect. It's not related to an electro-magnetic pulse in any technological way. Also Aeon Tech one bomber does not use EMP although it's stated in tooltip. Lastly, Aeon's submarines use chrono torpedoes. Their time freeze/stun mechanic was never included for balance reasons.

Seraphim's tactical missiles originally had time freeze/stun mechanics, but was removed for balance reasons also. (Proof was in FA's original unit sheet and PDF instruction booklet.)

Thanks Ice,

I guess I was quite curious about it because the Aeon ACU is quite defenceless when underwater. Perhaps it's a faction trait, but seeing as the ability is rarely used, do you think it would be a negative gameplay mechanic to allow it to fire on its' ticks while under water?

That's technically incorrect (Correct in result). Chrono is its own weapon, range 35 (So if ACU weapon is unupgraded it will fire when main isn't. It won't target air without ground being there because:

Code:: FireTargetLayerCapsTable = { Land = 'Land|Water|Seabed', Seabed = 'Land|Water|Seabed', Water = 'Land|Water|Seabed', },

However, when it fires, the stun applies as follows to all units in sphere with size Radius:

Code:: Buffs = { { Add = { OnFire = true, }, BuffType = 'STUN', Duration = 3.5, Radius = 35, TargetAllow = 'MOBILE', TargetDisallow = 'EXPERIMENTAL,COMMAND', }, },

It also won't fire when underwater because AboveWaterFireOnly = true and AboveWaterTargetsOnly = true.

Yes it is triggered by acu gun. If planes will fly over it and no enemy ground units there it wont use emp as well.

Isnt it meant to be firing only when ACU fires from the main gun?

That's fine. So long as it's looked into sometime.

Possible? Yes. Going to happen? Probably not...
