The Bomb Shop: Limitations

[iou]

the ship could be limited.
have a counter, which counts how many times they've been at the ship.
reset it, for a certain ammount of time outside of the ship.
if the counter is lets say 10 (he's gone to ship 10 times, and never been outside for lets say 10min),
then he cannot enter the ship (gives that out of boundries thingy)

this still gives the player infinite time (until the idle kick) to earn that small ammount of money (which some people likes to do)

--
about the carbombs, imo i dont really care.. it just gives me the lols
although, it could be good to not allow /ctp while in a vehicle containing a bomb,
it is fun to do that on admins though, but that way they have no chance
u can even ctp while they flying in air, boom ded. simple as fuck

Don't be silly Jay.... how is a limit of one every 5 minutes going to work with your new ability to buy and detionate multiple bombs at once?


Since I'm probably the biggest carbomb whore there is, on a good bombing campaign I'd be buying a bomb once every 2 minutes or so - but there are always ways around time restrictions - logging in via 3 laptops/accounts simultaneously for example, hell I have the ability to log into the server 7 times simultaneously personally, I just need to register 6 more accounts


But I don't get the problem people have with them.. alot of the times bombings fail, and anyone with tiny bit of skill is able to avoid alot of them without too much effort as skilled players will tell you.

Also, personally I don't bomb random innocent players.  Theres usually a target and hunting involved which takes time.  And of course if someone shoots at me then they're also a target - such is war.

Natural selection.....  If you suck you just suck and are going to die.  Welcome to life.

One limitation that would be nice would be a restriction on /ctp tho while you have a bomb. Make it so if someone /ctps with a bomb you can't detionate it for 10 seconds.

Also FiXeR should be banned from the bombshop, he does nothing but abuse them with his fancy yella powers.

Voted Yes, and Should be 10 Minutes, S:{D , So people will search me for faster ways

Carbombing isn't laming, it's being pro and different.

This thread is going to provide me with prime targets for at least a month. Welcome to the club Halo

I dunno bubbles, it sounds like the majority is ruling on a minority's rights; this could get out of hand if not handled carefully.

Ways to make the complainers happier:

• Eliminate the shop                               
  
• Increase the price                                        
  
• Increase time between bomb purchases         
  
• Not allow car teleporting with an installed bomb
  
• Only allow bombs on certain vehicle types (Euro, Elegy, Ranger, ect.)
  
• In combination with another idea: Limit people who do not own the shop to a bomb every 5 minutes, but reduce the price of the property to $1000 and have it make only $1 per minute to make it more vulnerable.
  

Bottom line really is: If you play enough you learn who the people are who buy bombs all the time. It is quite easy to avoid a bombed car if you have a bit of practice, as one can turn faster on foot compared to a vehicle.

Usually there is a large amount of people who ship lame by sitting outside the ship, waiting for people to come off to kill them. People who do this should not be complaining about getting bombed there.

I think increasing the time to 5-10 minutes and the owners of the property have to wait like 2 or 3 minutes (as it still may get abused by the owner of the property) will help.

The most popular bomb type is the detonation one, and the user dies when it explodes. I know a lot players view their KD ratio as something important to them, so this should be taken into consideration.

Yes, yes, YES!!!!
And I wish to kill all idiots who votes NO!!

Carbombs is most annoying and unfunny features of this server. A lot of players uses it just to make others angry, especially Bubbles who follows me numerous times, detonate her car and cause both to suicide (well, I have 3 ways of defence for that, I tricked her and caused just her to die), but the VERY annoying part is when you are in an important event like cruise or gang war and a random idiot carteleports and quickly detonates his car... we have no defence in this case! I admit, sometimes I parked a tuned Sultan with engine bomb in front of the ship... even if I knew that nobody else will laugh.

I agree with Jay and others, put a timer of at least 10 mins before buying another carbomb! This should be an intermediate solution between current annyoing situation and my wish to remove them completely. Also, can any developer find a way to disable /ctp when have a bomb in car, please?

[Jay]

10 minutes is too much.
