Sounds good. I will try to test this again as soon as possible.
Again I would emphasize that having weapons that can push enemies with "splash" push (meaning no direct hit needed) even on mid-range is very important. That's why I a) am against a slow laser - but you made it faster already, FruitieX, thx, gotta check if it is good for that again, and I b) vote for having a replacement of the old mortar push effect. On every space map (and I take it space maps WILL be part of Xonotic) pushing people off the map is an elementary part of the gameplay. I know the nex has push force too but you can only push people AWAY from you. The rocket launcher is a bit too slow on mid-range, since pushing people requires very accurate placement of the detonation and that is difficult on mid-range with a weapon like that.
I wonder how I am confusing you, kojn, with my push weapon thingy? Don't you use the push effect of weapons?
