Weight penalties
NocLQ3V7:
--- Quote from: ko5tik on November 09, 2012, 10:05:35 pm ---I would say that came out of sudden and pretty hard - my soldiers are not heavy loaded ( sniper rifle - 2 grenades , 2 clips and medpack with nano armour ) and time units went from 30+ to under 20 (so no aimed shot at all, even if there is no movement involved). Paired with random crashes and freezes it is pretty frustrating.

Sniper can't really have medikit, try to remove weight so that load stays green and you have all TU's again. Which brings to my finding, if I add combat knife to loaded soldier I get half of TU's vs without adding combat knife, so current system is kind of on/off, maybe plan is to develop system to be so that it gradually takes TU's away more you add weight? That way penalty would appear more natural, but I have no idea how complex such is or what it would break.
Overall I like the change, brings up importance of tactical planning as one can't have whole armory with him, so one has to change items per mission.
ko5tik:
ok, now all my soldiers are completely useless - no one can wear nanocomposite armour without penalty, and
dumb armour does not help in late game stages.

We'll try to get a proper write-up of the weight system soon so you can understand it, but here are the thresholds you'll hit.
0-20% of max-weight carried will get you the full TUs (which are now 40+)
20-50% of max-weight carried will get you "normal" TUs
50+% of max-weight carried and you will have very low TUs.
We recognize that this is a particularly painful transition for those playing the dev version, but we have no simple fix for you. Sorry about that.
ShipIt:
Whereas max-weight is the strenght value in kg.
Anarch Cassius:
Okay so that 44 TU Ortnok I have in Multiplayer isn't my imagination or a bug. That's some consolation and a boost for dedicated medics.
The carry weights seem a tad low even with new characters. The maximum weight is a good measure for the most a character can carry but the halfway mark is basically ridiculously overburdened.
40lbs/18kg is a hefty load and certainly encumbering but I'd think you could still fight if you had to. Right now getting the penalty almost puts a character out of action. Maybe if it were more like:
0-20% of max-weight: Bonus TUs
20-50% of max-weight: Normal TUs
50-80% of max-weight: Small penalty, ~30%-60% as bad as the current one
80-100% of max-weight: Current penalty
100%+ of max-weight: Immobilized
Also the console indicates the savefile is compressed XML... I don't suppose there's any way to uncompress it and well... "cheat"? I could just add 15 to each soldier's base str and go on my way :)
