| Summary | 0009010: Spire Jumpships not immune to beam cannons | ||||
| Description | Looking through previous issues, it appears that spire jumpships are supposed to be immune to AoE effects, but it appears that they are not immune to beam weaponry. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Intentional, I think. Beam "line damage" is not considered an AoE effect for the purposes of AoE immunity. A separate beam damage immunity is available for that. |
|
|
Correct: radial AOE and linear/vector AOE are two different things in the game. Only a very few units (all scouts, I think) are actually immune to line-AOE :) |
|
|
So, is this intended as a deliberate balancing factor? Because it seems to me that it's really just more of an annoyance in practice (unloading involves a small temporary jump away, reloading should be done transversely). |

I think that regular transports have line damage immunity. If that is the case, jumpships should as well (especially given that they are probably going to get nerfed in other ways soon, if the "what should be nerfed" poll continues like it has so far) |
