uh ... it doesn'Ät seem to work anymore ... no beeps on hits and no antidamage.

Oops. Yeah, the MkII won't work but the standard one will. Fixed for next version.

Can you also "fix" it so that to get the higher levels you don't need the badges. I would use the higher repair gun if I didn't have to be a mentor. I'm probably the only other person other then spuck that DOES use it, why make it so hard to get. It's as if you don't want people to heal each other!!

Hmm. The MkII got changed at some recent point? Somewhere around the introduction of repair beams for the Hive, perhaps? Do I sense a repair beam for us coming soon? Hmm?

I was thinking that too :)

But they probably changed something with the repair system and forgot to apply it to the mk2 or something like that. :P

No, I changed something internally and I had to hardcode the outlying weird weapons like charge cannons and repair guns, and I didn't realize there even WAS a MkII repair gun.

I would like to make these generally more useful; the beam cannon deal isn't out of the question.

That's what I meant :P

The distinction a1k0n is making is that it wasn't a change to the repair system. It was a more general change that caused the bug. What we did to make the bots repair, is completely seperate.

Repairgun also still triggers the SF in NFZs. Repair someone near a station and you will see what I mean.

Hrmm so if you repair the SF then they will kill you?

/me laughs hysterically at the thought of SF members having repair guns causing SF's to destroy themselvs.

Actually it woulden't be too bad of an idea for there to be a SF ship with a repair beam.

johnhawl: did you ever consider the possibility that instead of not wanting people to use the repair gun the devs wanted people to use the mentor system?
