To all who are interested in the Rule of Cool.

Death from above.

Can we implement it and would it be very cool. That's my question.

Kind Regards

You can already do it, it just takes 100... 200 hits to kill anything with it.

[VulkanNo1]

Thats great, but it should be more damaging

If you find a mech with a cherry red ct then you might be able to do a goomba. Probably will still take a few stomps since collision damage is very weak.

I've been tk'd by DFA since I returned a couple months ago, probably the funniest death I've ever been a part of.

[VulkanNo1]

Nice XD

[sycocys]

One nice thing about not having it is if you have a nice guy in a brawling direwolf you can hop your Nova or Adder on top and add some more lasers or uac to the party.

I'm honestly surprised there's not at least a troll meta of direwolf riding direwolf with some of those 4 player unit drops, because there's not much that would be more terrifying than a couple of those stacks rounding a corner into your lance.

we already had this...

Somebody saw TTBs new video... XD

We need death from above. Dev's make it happen please. we need melee

[Flea King Fleappuccino]

Just do this! Lol

[Rain Dark Sky]

I ran into a jenner with a red CT one time, and he blew up. DFA is technically possible.

ETA, also saw 4 mechs with no ammo hump to death the last enemy mech with no ammo

I got a DFA back in Beta. Walked my Cataphract off a building in Frozen and landed on a cherry red Catapult for the kill

[Ignatius Audene]

Engine can't handle collisions properly. So no melee etc.

[LordNothing]

honestly no game engines can handle collisions correctly. frankly im amazed the whole thing works at all. best you can do is a crude approximation that works most of the time.

These could have been critical hit collisions.
ie: more than the normal '1' damage from collusion, due to a rare 'critical hit' roll

On the 4vs 1 bukake it took like 3 minutes, the match almost ended before they finished him off.

[LordNothing]

also one should never blame collision detection, because you have collision response to muck it all up. since the former is only handled by algorithm people and the latter by game code people. collision detection can report a hit and collision response can flat out ignore it. all it takes is a sloppy loop with an obo error where they missed processing an item because they used a < instead of a <=.

Could we not just ask an AI to rebuild the game with DFA working
