Bug. Seeker trying to homing the player who fire it?

[YoshiSmb]

i notice something with the seeker.

The Seeker Dont try to damage the teammates.

But if the Seeker is close at the range of the player who fire it
try to homing him.

The Seeker must not homing the player who fire it.

Sam686 can you fix that?

I like the way it is. You have to be careful shooting the seeker or you get damaged yourself, and it doesn't have friendly fire (only mines have that anyway.)

Hi,

It was intentionally made this way: in this manner Seeker behaves like burst, harming opponents and yourself

And a bit like bouncers. Be careful. Knives are sharp. Don't poke yourself.

[YoshiSmb]

ahhh.

Thanks for the info.

I'm not a big fan of this feature at all. Granted, I've only had limited amount of in-game experience with the seeker, but it seems counter-intuitive if it can target yourself. I'm all for being careful, but I also don't want to think too much before firing. I want to be able to rely on the weapon in most situations.

When I use bouncers in a crowded area, I don't stop to think if it would be a good situation to use in case of a bouncer coming back and hitting me in the face. But bouncers do so little damage that it's acceptable if a couple end up contacting my ship.

To the knives analogy, I would offer this: typically, when a fighter jet fires a homing missile it does not turn around and attack the host jet.

A compromise could be to have the Seeker do area damage to enemies and self, but not target self. Maybe?

I don't see a problem i like it th4e way it is.

Seekers seek. It is in their nature. It's kind of like my old roommate who used to toss lit bottle rockets into the living room while we were watching TV (in the days before Bitfighter, of course!). They always seemed to seek me out after bouncing off a few walls.

I think things will be clearer after we playtest them in a larger group.

That's a reasonable compromise!
