We'll get a hotfix in for this. What we did was change it so that new players don't see "Create an Outfit" button as their first UI option, but it's currently doing the same for players in an outfit as well.
Thanks for the reply Wrel.
If I may ask has decreasing the size of the model been considered? The version I’ve seen on PTS is taller than the whole of the tank. Seeing as how this is way taller than any supporting infantrymen and the shared health pool means full coverage doesn’t matter could it maybe be lowered to end where the turret meets the chassis?
Obviously not this patch but some point in the future.
Could be. It's an easy enough change to make, and we can probably find a happy medium, but deploying on even small downward slopes renders a lot of the protection for infantry moot if the shield is too small. Additionally, the added height helps protect allied vehicles, like Repair Sunderers and other vehicles.
It’s got to be that coding doesn’t allow them to do that or something right? I can’t think of any other reason they’d share a health pool
Yarr.
Ideally it would have a separate health pool, and you'd be able to see that separate health pool in the form of energy on the UI, similar to NC's Aegis Shield. Unfortunately, Aegis was coded to be very specific (and relies on animation work to make the shield appear [also part of the reason why it's so jank]), so it wouldn't work with Prowler. Also tried spawning and despawning a separate NPC, but getting it to tether to the vehicle, and adhere to deploy/undeploy in a way that doesn't feel buggy, slow, and would depend on server latency was an issue. I tried a variety of other methods to achieve something similar, and they always ended up a little bit off. So for now, this is what we're going with.
PS:A did some work that we're going to bring over in the future that gives us some more control over deploy/undeploy, and be able to more easily trigger and track effects from that, so it's possible that this ability changes again somewhere down the line.
