Title: Crush on jetpacks
Post by: ULTRA Random ViruS on May 18, 2011, 01:50:07 pm

Since the recent update about tramples on buildables, somehow the crush effect on flying jetpacks stopped working. I stood on a afk guy (jettard in Nano centre) for about 3 seconds thinking it was ping (280) and nothing happen. I ended up mauling him instead.
Anyone knows whether this was removed purpously or is a bug? I'm sure it used to work, or i won't be waiting for crush effect and maul him immediately.

EDIT: Bug tracker site doesn't work on my computer so i didn't post it there.

The upwards force generated by the jetpack is more than enough to repel the downwards push of the weight of the hueg tiran. Since multiple jetpacking humans can fit underneath a hueg tiran, more upwards force is generated, and this is being investigated as an economical way to stack tirans on top of each other in enormous alien warehouses.
