Extra Details

 

Abandoned Jet mission

• This mission will spawn in one of a few places around the Airfield
• The jet will spawn in with a random set damage (white to Red hull), and low fuel
• Depending on the Jet, Some types of armament will be disabled and/ or reduced
• Please be aware, the ammo truck spot in the water may be affected. (Deletes objects within 'X' of mission spawn)
• Work in progress ||||| Notify us of any issues, bugs or suggestions |||||

 

Loyalty System

• Pretty much straight forward, the longer you play on our server, the more free monies you get  
• Every thirty minutes you will receive 'x' sum of cash 

 

Hide Body script

• Based from This Poll we have decided to add in the script enabling peeps the ability to hide bodies
• To activate, look at the corpse and a option will come up in the scroll menu
• On activation, you pay a fee of $5000, and are locked for X amount of time (same as placing a beacon) 
• After the progress bar reaches 100%, the body, and any objects laying around it (excluding cases, food and water) will be deleted within a 1 meter radius
• Work in progress ||||| Notify us of any issues, bugs or suggestions |||||

 

Clean up store system

• Any dropped objects (excluding cases/ food/ water) will be deleted within a 3 meter radius of a shop keep after remaining on the ground over 10 minutes

 

Secret Function

• Yeah wouldn't you like to know  
• Once enough people know what the function is, and what parameters are required to activate it, I will either change or remove the function entirely
• Work in progress

 

Special Skins

• This idea is thanks to a quick discussion with @Dak Commstar
• Basically, some of the skins we created were for particular vehicles only, and if we wanted to include them all, the client download per update would be enormous
• To counter this, every update we will endeavour to add 1 or two skins for select vehicles and delete the previous selection

 

Tile Skins

• What we mean by this is the colours/ hello kitty/ everything else currently available to plaster on any vehicle you choose either via purchase or donator button
• We have noticed that some of these tile skins never get used, so we will be looking at modifying the selection every once in a while
• If you are a donator and would like to recommend a tile texture for us to potentially add into the game, Please notify one of our staff.  If you have created one yourself, the file must be  512 x 512)

Patch 7.2
In the event of any catastrophic errors or problems on initial release, we may revert back to the previous settings while we make appropriate changes
 

 

Development

 

• Added - Spawn delay before re-using towns*
• Tweak - Fixed Staff Panel for some members of staff
• Deleted - Falcon*
• Deleted - ATM Tax for player to player transfer

 

Extra Details

 

 

Spawn Delay for Towns

• Staff have decided to add a spawn delay for towns in an effort to combat constantly re-spawning in the same location eg. rogain
• The goal is to make it harder to camp locations based on how many players are defending vs. attacking.
• You can semi-counter this feature by utilizing more spawn beacons

Deleted Falcon

• Thanks to a community member that thought 'outside the box', the falcon has been removed from the game
• Basically, using this players method, the player controlling the falcon could dominate the battlefield with ease
• We are currently undecided on the fate for the falcon. whether it will remain removed,  be made into a special class mission, be reactivated but for all teams.
