Orbital now has a 3 second cool down when entering orbit

Been a long time coming, but it's finally here.

The PTE now makes it so all orbital units have a 3 second cool down when entering orbit.

SXX insta snipe no longer works! Nor does the Radar insta bounce. Nor does the infinite Astraeus hopping.

I'd prefer it that not all orbital units have a cool down time. Like maybe the Avenger only has a 1 second cool down or something.

And I still want those drop pods with an insta drop in and one way trip only...

But I digress. Everyone celebrate!!!

Woohoo!~ <3

See, and you guys say Uber doesn't listen.

Edit: Also, Brian, we can't have arbitrary differences between SSX cool down and fighter cool down, it'd go against WYSIWYG.

It's a imperfect solution, but a solution none the less.

the question is....why cant it be 2...or 4....or 5....or 1....because things must be set in stone! like for instance...

Then all units should have the same speed, range, and health.

Only if they looked the same that is.

What the hell, did I just watch?

Utter genius.

I can agree with that.

Question though, why is such a big change like this not in the "update" thread? @garat

Uhm.. I called it out specifically. What you smoking, man?

Where? -_^?

It's PTE.

Like.. 6th line down. Dang it man, read!!

I agree that the Avenger in particular should be exempt from such a long cooldown, because it will make it even harder to breach heavily fortified planets without using superweapons. Getting that quick beachhead by clearing out enemy orbital units/anchors with a wave of Avengers is crucial, and even in just 3 seconds, dozens of them will be dead.

It's still better than having cheap SSX snipes and commander jumping though.

Well, if you put it in the support page, then I'm very unlikely to read it, I mainly trol through this thread

I'm mostly teasing you. It's friday night. At any rate.. new PTE with lots of new stuff in it. Highly recommend people check it out.

I blame @brianpurkiss for not providing the link in the first place. Bad brian

I know you did. But not everyone browses the support forum or reads patch notes.

It's something I've been waiting for a while and wanted to express my excitement.

If you don't want me to spread awareness or excitement, then I don't have to.

Where are you exactly getting that I don't want you to call it out? I was teasing him. Chill, man.
