[3.0 Beta 9] Request superhighway laser tower removal.

Post by Gavrushka »

Thought this better here than spamming the Beta forums. - I'm playing a game from 2018, and there's massive numbers of residual laser towers filling the superhighways. - Is it possible to have them purged in a future build? - I've many saves uploaded in the beta forums if the devs need to see how bad it is in my game.

OBJECTION

I love that it happens and I'd encourage it if I could.

I have developed a workaround for manual removal:

1. Time it right and enter the highway
1a. If the lasertower is behind you, strafe to the side of the highway. You will lose speed on the edge and the LT will overtake you. It is important that it's ahead of you.
2. Once the lasertower is somewhat ahead of you, open the map and select it as Target. Keep the map open.
3. You will see that it will start to lose speed. For some reason, observed targets in the highway loop become slower.
4. Once it's in range, close the map and open fire (yes, inside the Highway).
5. You will lose rep, but gain inner peace.

With 3.00 and especially the DLC there are also reasons one would want to start a new save to get the full experience. Such save should be laser tower in highway free.

User was banned from the forums for this post. :P

But, yeah, I do get that not everyone shares my view. I will find you. I will find you all.

Ah, thank you! - The issue is, there will be well into three figures of the things stuck in my Superhighways in perpetuity, so I may get an inner glow, but the aggregate loss of rep will give me anything but inner peace! :(
