THANK YOU NICK FOR FIXING THE WHEEL-LAUNCH THING

(I mean I can't see it in the list but whatever it's fixed now so thanks.)

Edit: OOOhhh but you can't have everything can you? Now mah tenks don't turn as fast.

Might I ask, since I'm not really into the Discord and can't find a conclusive summary - what's in the pipeline currently?

Check out this thread: https://forum.fromthedepthsgame.com/show...?tid=37984

Is the cooling effect of the APS firing piece reduced? All of my APS cool down a little bit slower than they did in dev test.

Update: Did some testing and it looks like the firing piece is not cooling at all. Will post a bug report since I don't see anywhere that this feature is removed

I don't see where this has been posted, but on devtest there is an overall 50% base cooldown reduction for all APS shells.

This is an unnecessary buff, 10 free coolers was way better for small guns.



However if its the unintuitive implementation that is the problem, perhaps the better solution is to rework the cooldown math to include some form of complexity modifier.

The way coolers work, 10 free coolers is *exactly* equivalent to reducing all cooldowns by ~68%, except it is somewhat more confusing because the customizer does not reflect that cooldown reduction. This is just a more intuitive implementation of the same buff, coupled with a slight reduction in the buff.

I understand the difference, but the main buff to small guns was the loss of cooler volume,which is not reflected in the new change.

Oh well, it works just as well. Personally I'd like to see cooling take a similair complexity modifier as autoloaders, so larger guns need more coolers.

What I would like to see (and have formally suggested a few times, but been told it would excessively break campaign designs) is for coolers to become additive, rather than multiplicative. Presently, every ~8.2 coolers halves cooldown time, so linearly increasing the number of coolers exponentially increases the RoF. It would I think be both more intuitive and better balanced for each shell to have a heat value and each firing piece/cooler dissipate heat at a certain rate, so RoF increases linearly with the number of coolers.

That would be pretty cool. I especially like the heat value attached to the shell, so there would be some room for customizing your shells to increase ROF if desired. Something like the faster and longer a shell is, the hotter it will be.
