Rocket Projectiles

Is it just me, or do you guys think the rocket projectiles themselves should penetrate through minor foliage rather than explode on impact?

There has been a few times where I'm basically kiting higher level npc's to turn around and one shot myself with a rocket launcher, because of that one miniscule little bush just happened to be right in front of me. Seems pretty problematic on planets with dense foliage. I guess I could just jump and aim down and shoot but damn son.

 

Yes. Just yes. Rocket launchers can be SUCH a pain on jungle planets, they're hardly even
worth using sometimes.

 

I'm sure (I would hope) that this is something on their list to fix. I don't care if it blows up on impact on pixel capsules but the dang bushes man, they blend into the background a little to well to be able to tell that they are rocket obstacles.

 

flamethrowers are best on jungle planets, which is fitting actually.

and rocket launchers are the BEST in the ocean for fish hunting. glowing torpedoes of doom!!

 

After some visits to jungle planets and having seen the sad face of my heroes (after the rockets exploded at point-black-range) - I totally agree. Would be nice to see some changes here.

"Rockets fired into bushes are causing injuries and blushes"

 

Nowadays everyone is too sensitive. Even the rockets explode into anger at the slightest touch of a leaf!

 

I think the fauna should be made projectile safe all together because when you're trying to nail a critter with a sniper and it keeps hitting plants instead it's a big deal.

 

^^^ Ah yes this! That is also true, I'm sure this is something they will get to eventually, right now they seem to be more focused on path finding, terrain Gen, Teleporters, etc which is also a good thing. These are just minor annoyances, lol I don't think a plant would dead stop a sniper rifle bullet and like wise a Rocket (Maybe if it were thick enough it could detonate the head) but that is besides the point; This is a 2d plat-former for cryin out loud. Hell I don't mind if the projectiles just ignored breakable scenery besides maybe the pixel capsules. Actually I think it would be better if they did ignore because it would force the player to manually break them rather than spamming the inventory. Even if it broke everything in its path I would be fine with that also.

 

Plants and animals; Flora and Fauna, unless you're Floran in which case you're which?

 

Don't let this cute face fool you. My first was a Floran, my main is my Floran, and my last shall be a Floran.
