Re: How to Not Suck at Mass Producing Potassium Bombs
Are you... encouraging people to meta?
I see you say "avoid accusations" but I can't tell if the context is you telling them to avoid being accused but to meta with their bomb placement.

No, I'm saying don't act in a way that can be construed as meta.apophis775 wrote:Are you... encouraging people to meta?

A lot of this is liable to get people banned, Especially pre hiding bombs to instagib the aliens. Honestly I think this is pretty detrimental to have visible.

Pre-hiding bombs where you expect people to come has already been done with mines. People place mines down then put grilles / trash / flares / flashlights, etc. over top of them to hide them so its not really that big a deal.Eenkogneeto wrote:A lot of this is liable to get people banned, Especially pre hiding bombs to instagib the aliens.

Its also one of the few things researchers can do that actively helps the battlefield, since RO sending you mines doesn't happen all the time. Plus, late game, having "suicide vests" is a great strategy since elite ravs shrug off most conventional weaponry, and AP rounds kill more marines than xenos ever could due to FF, so this is a viable strategy when xeno strengths and weaknesses are already known.
Im sure this can be treated under the same tenant as "don't make canister bombs round start", "don't metarush underground / river knowing xenos are there", etc. This wouldn't be something you could do round start anyways, as the most effective setup would take around mid game to start taking effect.

I don't see salting the area around FOB, or pretty much any other area you expect aliens to congregate with hidden explosive traps as being any worse than planting mines; just don't act in a way that is blatantly meta.Eenkogneeto wrote:A lot of this is liable to get people banned, Especially pre hiding bombs to instagib the aliens.

Closing this guide down, promotes undesired behavior bordering Meta-gaming and Power-gaming.

Difference between "salting the area around the fob" and encouraging people to put backpack suicide bombs on monkies.
