Brakes and You: A Story That Never Existed

The reason why I say this story never existed was because there is no such thing as a parking brake in KAG for siege weapons. Why not though? I mean, you can always build two blocks in front and behind to keep them from moving, but even then, that doesn't always work out.

It is so simple. I mean, they have invented the a moving vehicle capable of taking down whole structures, but cant keep it from moving unless they build walls in front and behind it. It just doesn't make sense.

What I purpose is this, players on the team that owns the vehicle can get inside it and select an option to set a parking brake. It simply just keeps the vehicle from moving when shot or pushed by enemy players. Enemy players can not unset the brake until they have captured it for their own team.

Also, if at all possible, add a feature that allows the brake to be broken upon the vehicle taken a certain amount of damage.

So what do you think?

 

So, which one are you choosing to be discussed in this thread?

 

I apologize. I read through the ideas thread to make sure it hadn't been proposed, but forgot to re-read the rules. Would it be possible for you to remove the Capturing Crates part from the title?

 

hmmmmm...
This is a hard one.
Having to put blocks behind catapults puts makes them less easy to deploy, which can be a good thing considering how powerful they are.
However, It can extremely frustrating when one arrow takes down your entire catapult.

So how about the brakes don't stop they catapult completely, they just make it harder to move.
eg.
Arrows don't move it at all, but bombs and bomb arrows move it about four pixels backward.
Slashes don't move it at all, but water bombs and water arrows move it move it two pixels backward.

 

Yeah. The brakes in some way would not have to completely stop it from moving. That is why I proposed that over time the brakes wear down as the vehicle is damaged.

 

Oh boy I must agree on this one. There's nothing more aggravating then raking up the cash for your ballista, getting a nice high floating island spot with a perfectly timed bomb jump, setting your ballista up while defending it and then having one stupid archer shoot one arrow on it, making it blast backwards and down into the sea below. Simply preposterous.

I say FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. Plz and thank you! :)
