Travel speeds

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Travel speeds have now been added: you get to pick the average speed of your squad from the range 15mph to 45mph. 30mph is still considered the maximum 'safe' speed. Above this, and your vehicles may take armour damage (especially to bottom and front armour) and tyre damage. You are also more likely to get encounters. Below 30mph you reduce slightly the risk of encounters. All of these are affected in your favour by a new scout specialism "Pathfinder". The patching is all server-side so no client updates needed. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 8, 2012, 1:21 pm

Togakure Bujinkan Autodueller Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 369 Joined: Jan 11, 2010 Sounds interesting. Regarding the reduction of speed, other than the actual duration of travel, are there any other penalties? Is fuel efficiency modified by average travel speed? ......................... vet wv gateautumn Posted Nov 8, 2012, 1:32 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 No effect on fuel. Could be added in if important, but might be a bit tricky. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 8, 2012, 1:34 pm

Manfred VonRichthofen Flying Froggies Sunday Driver Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 97 Joined: Oct 13, 2012 What would be great is the expected travel time shown next to the speed. With that, you would see for exemple how many time you loose travelling at 20 mph instead of 40. Behind that : for exemple I will be working for 12 hours, so I want my travel to be completed when I get back home. Why running at 40mph when 20mph would be the same for me. For that I need to know approximatly how long is the travel according the speed ......................... vet wv race1 paintball deathrce1 Posted Nov 8, 2012, 1:43 pm Last edited Nov 8, 2012, 1:45 pm by Manfred VonRichthofen

Actually the idea has been suggested multiple times in the past. In fact, it would appear that much of the implementation may stem from previous discussions. In any case, seems like a nice addition addition. Looking forward to training some Pathfinders and finding those shortcuts and safer paths! ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp2 Posted Nov 8, 2012, 2:11 pm

It reduces the chance of taking vehicle damage when travelling recklessly (>30mph) It reduces the increased risk of encounters when travelling recklessly It amplifies the risk-reduction effect when travelling carefully (<30mph) ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 8, 2012, 2:36 pm

Alec Burke Overlanders Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 480 Joined: Sep 5, 2010 musashi_san said: so what does pathfinder do, exactly? According to the pop-up on Travel Speeds, Pathfinder improves all of the effects related to travel in your favor. I take that to mean that it will reduce the amount of damage you take if traveling faster than 30 mphs, as well as reduce the chance of encounters at all speeds. I'm not reading that it further reduces the travel time, but I could be wrong on that. EDIT: And Sam posted officially what it does while I was typing. ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp2 Posted Nov 8, 2012, 2:38 pm Last edited Nov 8, 2012, 2:39 pm by Alec Burke

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I should probably point out that the behind-the-scenes numbers controlling all this are of course my best estimation at this time, so they may be subject to tweaking if necessary ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 8, 2012, 2:53 pm

Vroomhoff Lobotomizers Racer Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 240 Joined: Sep 5, 2012 Thanks, Sam! I was shocked to see it in there this morning when I made my travel! I like the idea above about a projected time of arrival. Still would like to see a Scout spec called "fuel mizer" that helped reduce the amount of fuel required for travels. 5% or 10% per level, maybe? ......................... vet wv race1 e2g ped2 circuit3 semiprocombat northernsummer pvp5 Posted Nov 8, 2012, 3:35 pm
