Non-bug: Ion cannons 1HKO guard posts
« on: August 17, 2010, 06:55:49 pm »
This isn't a bug, but I thought I would post this here anyways.  Guard posts can be 1HKO'd by ion cannons (like normal units)--should they receive the attribute of "cannot be insta-killed"?

EDIT:  my bad, I see the higher marks are invulnerable to ion cannons.

I'll ask Chris if there's anything that needs to change here, but I'll move this non-bug to the non-bug forum in the meantime ;)

I thought this was something to look at since guard posts seemed to be a more significant structure, regardless of their tier.  Allowing them to be insta-killed seems a bit odd, but it's up to you folks.

Yea, that's my initial reaction too, but those non-core guard posts have the line "this.ImmuneToBeingInstaKilled = this.ShipLevel >= 4;" in their definitions, so it looks like that's what Chris wanted.
