If base is 3+, then advantage means less, while disadvantage is still meaningful because you can be suppressed into uselessness. 24-04-2021 16:45:36 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: And yes. 24-04-2021 16:45:47 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: but a precise or assault weapon doesn't care 24-04-2021 16:46:01 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: Yep. 24-04-2021 16:46:33 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: That's all intentional (and is why suppress gives +1 range). 24-04-2021 16:46:42 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: so a MG + AR does better ing hte supression war than 2 MG 24-04-2021 16:47:11 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: Only thing I dislike is the precision goes down to 50/50 when suppressed, so only *somewhat* affected. 24-04-2021 16:50:15 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: The idea there is that ARs can start suppression changes, being able to move and suppress offensively, while MGs can lock things down mostly continually. 24-04-2021 16:51:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: Though with how beefy units are, along with random targeting, it might be bad. 24-04-2021 16:55:47 < * syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net thinks 24-04-2021 17:00:04 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: Ehhhh I'll figure it all out tomorrow. 24-04-2021 17:57:08 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: Yeah, I think I'll just go back to suppression having hit-all chip damage. Then it's functionally a counter to large groups, and also can't be neutered by attaching two unequipped dummies whose sole pupose is fleeing and absorbing hits. While it's countered by armoring your people, which is what precision *should* be good at dealing with. 24-04-2021 17:58:56 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: is chip damage reducable to 0? 24-04-2021 18:01:51 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: "I think all our runners are good" 24-04-2021 18:01:58 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: That would seem to defeat the purpose. 24-04-2021 18:01:59 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: (Someones screws up right there) 24-04-2021 18:02:02 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: Except that one. 24-04-2021 18:02:43 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: The weakest units have 8 HP, so 1 HP damage isn't meaningful... mostly. 24-04-2021 18:03:03 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: I figure maybe half damage? 24-04-2021 18:06:23 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: Did he actually say "Except that one"? 24-04-2021 18:06:29 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: Yes. 24-04-2021 18:06:33 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: was hilarious. 24-04-2021 18:06:45 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: tone was fine. 24-04-2021 18:06:51 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: and it had an OOOOOOH after it. 24-04-2021 18:08:46 < syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net: Hehehe. 24-04-2021 18:29:14 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: yeah. 24-04-2021 18:32:45 -!- syv!GreatWyrmG@kwyojm-637-693-103-725.mycingular.net has quit [Quit: FuckAT&T] 24-04-2021 18:47:42 -!- ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] 24-04-2021 20:25:34 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: Nah, it was an "Except that" not that one. 24-04-2021 20:25:36 < Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net: https://youtu.be/U26Bf3P48aM?t=2359 24-04-2021 20:33:33 -!- Stopped log service 24-04-2021 20:34:04 -!- Started log service 24-04-2021 20:34:12 -!- parisbre56[Away]!parisbre56@qyo055662260329.access.hol.gr has joined #einsteinianroulette 24-04-2021 20:34:12 -!- Topic for #einsteinianroulette: Fleshorrors dream of feline BASS 24-04-2021 20:34:12 -!- Topic set by syv [Tuesday 29 September 2020, 08:56:47] 24-04-2021 22:45:36 -!- Devastator_!chatzilla@nank-9u5rt2ke5zyfqqx8ay8codo7i.ipv4.telus.net has joined #einsteinianroulette 24-04-2021 22:49:24 -!- Devastator!chatzilla@vles-5f4iw9lg1ywwf06a5a820vekt.ipv6.telus.net has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds] 24-04-2021 22:49:34 -!- Devastator_ is now known as Devastator
