Patch - april 8th, perk tweaks + lots of bug fixes

[lamster]

================================================== ===============
April 8th, 2009

Bomber
"Smart Bombs" replaced with "Bombs" - replaces tailgun with dumb bombs

Miranda
Laser - no longer pierces planes
Reverse - fixed bug that could cause Miranda to lose energy or stall when reversing at low throttle
Weapon charge-up rate is halved when Miranda has 0 energy
(Miranda users -- don't freak out! I will buff Miranda to compensate for all these nerfs once we see how he plays with the changes)

In time-limited TBD, if both bases are still standing when the timer runs out, the team whose base has the most health wins

Lots of bug fixes

I like the new invisible planes feature.

Just patched -- should be fixed -- lemme know if it comes up again

dropping both bombs and grenades seem weird

bombs don't get much use

i am sure this will be sorted out as we get more used to it though.

MORE IMPORTANT: time anchor still points you in the wrong direction sometimes.

I like this patch's ability to travel in time (looking at patch date).

EDIT: You should try out the music with vocals in one of these patches. Then the community will rise up as one and applaud its obvious superiority.

you just took all the fun off playing a bomber away in one fell swoop....... eth suckyest patch evah

[ZellSF]

I would rather have a downwards firing only bomber red perk, rather than losing the backwards firing weapon... Not sure if that could be balanced to be an usable red perk though.

I also sort of disagree with making laser non-piercing as I think it justifies its large damage output with no aiming... but then again I have no better ideas what to do with it.

I really like the new bomber. It's lots of fun.
