Changes

Removed the Capitols from the "neutral" planets: Ishundar, Cyssor and Searhus and adjusted thier lattice to promote more options for tackling those areas
Enabled the Rocklet to use Fragmentation Grenade ammo and fire them as mini flak rounds that explode in proximity to aircraft
Adjusted the Reaver and Mosquito's maximum health down 5% to reflect the "stealth" benefit of gaining 10% more useable armor by not losing control when at 10% remaining armor.
Adjusted the Reaver weapon systems to promote its use against vehicle targets

Significantly increased rocket projectile speed and acceleration to help better hit moving targets at range
Decreased rocket damage against infantry
Decreased rocket splash damage range
Increased rocket damage against vehicle targets
Improved Rocket and Gun default cone of fire
Decreased the lock on time of the Sparrow Max and, to a lesser extent, the Sparrow BFR pilot weapons

Hope to be there.

i'll be at work. i demand a report

[DennisTheMenace]

Lots of fun... I could with stand a blast.

There was a very major bug with flak as it did its normal dammage to softies but the splash dammage counted as direct hits so it was major dammage per hit. It's promissed to be fixed for live.

that, along with the aa buff/reaver nerf, will be the end of reaver spammage. great, just in time for a reaver de cert.

[Mo_Steel]

I don't feel the reaver has been nerfed. It's a beast against my Vangaurd now. Before it was a minor annoyance.

[myrtar]

the reaver's become an anti-vehicular aircraft... it's just a new role.
