• Deleting a player

  That's a good idea, I'll look into adding that and see how easy it will be.

• Deleting a player

  When a player is deleted from a game before it has started because they have not equipped or deployed their units I think it should not start until another player has taken their place.
  
  I agree that they should be deleted/cancelled if they don't do so after 5 days but it then can make the game uneven. Of course once it has started then you can't do much about it, but at the start it should open up to a new player.

• Unit stat accuracy

  And with this low accuracy, its always advantageous to have multiple opp gires opposed to just 1, so maybe at least 1 hits hehe *looks at Stardrive alien ravine map*

• Unit stat accuracy

  Well it is due to this I have been using mostly 75 AP grenades, I do of course still use pistols and rifles i.e marsec autogun and marsec pistol, the most effective, and on that sniper map I like to go full heavy laser + armour hehe, I tend to use snap shots instead of aimed especially if enemy has armour, need to get those extra hits in, and if failing to do there is still AP left to run behind cover, grenades are less rng dependent bur doing cover shooting also mitigates RNG, I've got one good idea, make smoke grenades be able to explode IN TURN instead of end of turn, this way its possible to get around a corner without worrying about opp fire, and so experimenting with raising accuracy shouldn't be a big problem?

• Unit stat accuracy

  Actually it was a couple of snap shots, so no not aimed, but still a smiper rifle that was closer to hitting my own unit standing a distance away than the intended target. :D

  Spoke to soon. Even though some are, others still flying off at 45 degrees.

• Unit stat accuracy

  @Henoh, when you select Shoot, it shows the % accuracy on each of the shot type buttons.
  
  @Xeno, glad to hear it. So far so good. :)

• Unit stat accuracy

  The inaccurate shots seem tighter, they create a bit more tension as they very narrowly whizz past, more realistic IMO.

• Unit stat accuracy

  is it hard to place a percentage chance view during game? that would help

  Hold onto your butts, I've just released v139, though it might take Google a short while to check its awesomeoness.

• Unit stat accuracy

  Yes, it will slightly increase the accuracy of all weapons (when an innacurate shot is made). You're right, most of the weapons are probably not even used. Why would anyone bother buying a marsec pistol? But if I increase their accuracy, they just become the same as another weapon.
  
  Anyway, I'll make the change I sugested and we'll see how that goes.

• Unit stat accuracy

  Does this increase the accuracy of all weapons? An issue of mine is that the far lower weapons nobody uses, they are like museum pieces. I make games at 50% in order for us to use them. But the vast majority of people play at 100% or above so everyone uses Marsec Autoguns or at least M400's. Unless you are Rabid. ;) The others are mostly superfluous. Let's bring them up a bit at least so they are viable in most games otherwise what is the point.
  
  Tightening the angle of shot is a must. It is a novelty when you first play and you see a shot fly off in a ridiculous direction but when you take the game, well, semi-serious let's say, it takes the piss. It's not as bad as when I first played, that was outrageous some of the shots. But it came down. For me it needs coming down more. I know Pete is the same on this.
  
  So thanks Steve. I hope others agree.

• Unit stat accuracy

  This thread has gone a bit quiet. I propose I tweak it slightly by increasing the maximum accuracy to 90%, and slightly reduce the inaccuracy for inaccurate shots. We can see if that improves things.
