[REQUEST] Make Rover Deployable Underwater

Make the rover deployable underwater for some nice tactical, espionage action! :deal:

You don't really "deploy" it, and last I checked you could spawn/suit up underwater just fine.

hmmm, i thought the rover slowly took damage underwater?

Yeah, but it blows up after a few secs, no?

Rover looses life while underwater till it dies. I guess the alternator takes 1 minute to get completly wet so the engine fails.

I'll rephrase... make the rover not take damage underwater. I say "deploy" because I think of an MPB.

I put an inventor under water. what a pain in the ass trying to stay under water and use the inv at the same time.

Hmm, it's an important balancing issue that the rover takes damage underwater (it only takes damage if 50% of it is submerged, BTW). It's like that exactly to stop people deploying it underwater in a stealthy fashion :) Also the rover tends to float and get stuck.

Twould be cool if the jets worked while floating..

thanks for replying. we just want a little stealth that's all ;) but i could definitely imagine all the bugs that may result in such coding. :cool:

If you want stealth go play CS

Rover idea.
If u hit the water at high speed, you are able to skim across it untill your speed slows down? yayay l33t idea!

This does sound like a pain in the ass. Does anyone see a problem with this in comp play?

:withstupi Its supposed to be hard to do that, they don't really seem to want water to be a huge stealth advantage.

Hmm that could be stealthy but I not sure it would be good idea, and I to can see all the bugs that could come of that... like somhow it becomes invincable underwater instead of just not taking damage form the water.

Maybe, but the issue is not that, having players spawn underwater and out of sight close to an enemy base is just not a strategy they want available.

Edit was grammatical

Would placing a repair turret near the rover compensate for the damage? (Just throwing ideas in the air)
