Vehicles
Vehicles are now generated on a team wide timer
“At the beginning of the round vehicle timers are started. Once each vehicle's timer has completed, 1 vehicle is generated, up to the limit per vehicle type. Once that vehicle is taken, it is moved from “Generated”, to in play. The vehicle in play still affects the ability to generate more vehicles of that type. For example: The server has limited shrikes to 1. Once generated, that shrike may be claimed by a player. Because the server has limited shrikes to 1, no additional shrikes will be generated until the shrike has been destroyed.”
All of the following values are modifiable through custom server settings.
Each vehicle type has:
Max number in play.
Length of time before each vehicle type is generated.
Max of one Generated, or “On Deck”. If this vehicle is not claimed and the timer reaches zero, the timer resets to the max time and restarts.
Default Values:
Grav Cycle
Max in play 4
Max of 1 on deck
Generation time 30 seconds
Shrike
Max in play 2
Max of 1 on deck
Generation time 90 seconds
