Questions about Engineer Class and Its Abilities

1. Sentinels do not target anything that is flying above them. They target only ground forces.

I have not configured any limits like that in. It must be something to do with the original sentinel specification. Perhaps a maximum pitch?

... And the alt fire wasn't doing anything.

I have noticed a couple of times that when I spawn with the Engineer Link, pressing the alt-fire doesn't seem to do anything. Certainly no long beam being emitted.
I do not know why, yet. In the meantime, I have found that moving to a different weapon and then back fixes it. So probably some sort of timing issue with the weapon creation and the weapon selection.

hey just wondering...
when the destroy vehicle button comes into play will it eject passengers?..or will it still depend if the driver has gotten the ejector skill?.. cus it wuld be sorta odd for you to be driving along then BOOM spontaneous explosion...(sorta like spontaneous combustion....just more flare..

...)
just a thought...

Just an observation: mines seem to target the engineer blocks. I have to plant them out farther away from the block positions.

And I noticed that I can walk and shoot thru some of those blocks. It did stop the monsters though. I don't know, if it is a feature or a bug.

Yeh, I've noticed that as well. Looking into it.

I didn't set the block team because I didn't want it appearing on medic awareness. But obviously I need to - so I will fix.

Yes, regardless of their vehicleeject ability level

koolnesss tsk man theyve got you stressed eh szlat?...

I don't know if it is the right place to say it, but I will (it seems that it changed with the comming of the engineer)
I prefered the old ghost (I noticed some other players complaining about it during the game too). I often don't notice I have ghosted alredy (I may think I've been moved by a skaar or such). I usually switch to "carefull mode" after I have ghosted... So, anything that makes apparent that you have ghosted would be nice . Something like a big bright bold message:
You have just ghosted, Bozo!

The instantaneous ghosting is a bug, for which I think BotFodder has created a fix. When DruidsRPG208 gets rolled out, it should fix it - so back to the slow ghosting.

hip hip hooray for slow ghosting!

....related back to the engineer class..
have you had one of those days where you and some buds are sitting behind your block wall so that that nasty lava skarjj doesnt come and burn your brains out ? and alll is good until you spin around to see your wall...is leaving you in the dust! and it moving g away to leave you no cover ..this happens to both live and dead blocks and theres always the "telefrag and rebuild approach.." unless they go airbourne!..which is sorta interesting cus sometimes you can stand on them..

..but erm yes im just guessing that the blocks arent suppose to be able to fly?...

Give them a few seconds and I believe they fall....

some do ..some fly......i saw one hold up a a tank..o.0...i regret not screentshooting it..

... but yeah...i guess this stuff happens when you hook new features up to the net for the first time..

...

hey quick stats question: can engineers buy health regen?..the guide on the site doesn't say so..but then again it doesnt say anything about the engineer class altogether...jus wondering how many stats i shuld be saving up..(seeing if i can get regen ill get that at lvl 2 + first..)
