Velvet Overkill 104	Posted - 2012.08.29 23:39:00 - [1] - Quote Flares would be an awesome thing to have to increase the tiny lifespan of dropships. The flares modules would hold 5 flairs for standard, 6 flairs for advanced, and 7 for prototype. These can be deployed individually by pressing X or all at once be holding X. The higher tier flares would have an increased resupply time for the whole set of flares, but no increase to pg/cpu requirements. 25s for standard, 35s for advanced and 45s for prototype. Every 0.040s for standard, 0.029s for advanced, and 0.022s for prototype, a flare will be replaced. The flares would have a percentage of destroying missiles. 35% at standard, 49% at advanced and 63% at proto. Possible skill attributes: The operation skill decreases the time before more flares can be deployed by 5% every level. The proficiency skill will have a high multiplier like 6x or 8x that increase the amount of flairs by 1 every level. The standard/militia swarm launcher can shoot 5 swarms at a time that infinitely tracts vehicles and the higher tier launchers can shoot even more, so I think this is a fair thing to have. Here's how it would work on average: Standard flares If 5 missiles are fired, 3.25 missiles will be left. [5 - (5 + 0)(0.35)] Proficiency skill 0 On average, 1.75 missiles can be eliminated per 23.75s [25 - 25(0.05 x 1)] Operation skill lv1 0.07 missiles eliminated per second. Advanced flares If 5 missiles are fired, 2.06 missiles will be left. [5 - 6(0.49)] Proficiency skill 0 On average, 2.94 missiles can be eliminated per 28s. [35 - 35(0.05 x 4)] Operation skill lv4 On average, 0.11 missiles can be eliminated per second. Prototype flares If 5 missiles are fired, -0.04 missiles will be left. [5 - (7 + 1)(0.63)] Proficiency skill 1 On average, 5.04 missiles can be eliminated per 33.75s [45 - 45(0.05 x 5)] Operation skill lv5 On average, 0.15 missiles can be eliminated per second. Prototype flares w/ Proto skills If 10 missiles are fired, 2.44 missiles will be left. [10 - (7 + 5)(0.63)] Proficiency skill 5 On average, 7.56 missiles can be eliminated per 33.75s. [45 - 45(0.05 x 5)] Operation skill lv5 On average, 0.22 missiles can be eliminated per second.

If it was done that way, what would you propose would be best way to prevent pilots from just spamming flares nonstop? Having a percent of disturbing missiles makes sense. I also think that the effectiveness should be increased, there should be a constant number of improvement between standard, advanced and prototype. I updated my OP and the constant I used is 1/7.
