Metal Factions v2.32 is out!
Subject description: Blast it all!
Welcome back, commander! The developers from Metal Factions has recently released Metal Factions v2.32. For those unaware, Metal Factions is an open-source game made with the Spring RTS game engine. It's an evolving real-time strategy game with four factions: Aven, Gear, Claw, and Sphere. It features 3D terrain and units, intuitive physics with real-time simulated gravity, collision handling, and projectile trajectories. It has over 400 units, including humanoid robots, tanks, ships, aircraft, buildings, defenses, etc. Here are the official words about Metal Factions v2.32:
Quote:
--- New commander morph forms
AVEN "Psi Form": Very fast raider/riot form with reduced range and build speed
GEAR "Battler Form": Versatile brawler with slightly increased speed, HP, and Cannon+Laser+Flare weapon mix
CLAW "Blaster Form": Slow riot form with M damage and AOE
SPHERE "Scrapper Form": Fast raider/assault with high dmg/s but low range and anti-air ability
--- New units
AVEN "Intrepid": L2 Multipurpose Cruiser
CLAW "Cleaver": L2 Fast Assault Ship
--- Balance / Mechanics
Renamed CLAW "Cleaver" to "Poleaxe"
Increased acceleration and turn rates for most ships
Units with cannons with the "near-miss-detonation" ability got ~1% more expensive
(in the case of commanders, those weapons got ~2% weaker instead)
Increased maneuverability of combat drones
Resigned/dead players have their resource-sharing thresholds set to 0 to let allies spend their resources
GEAR "Blazer" commander had speed reduced by about 10% but got more range and damage
CLAW "Avenger" gets free radar stealth
GEAR "Raider" and CLAW "Slayer" commanders get torpedoes replaced with higher dmg/s but shorter-ranged depth charges
--- UI / Visual
Modified health bars to show information about the unit's armor type
Fixed an issue where the "STEALTH" label wouldn't appear on the unit info panel for units where it's enabled
