Tyrant is already powerful enough as it is, considering one can stand in front of four turrets, and take out three before retreating.
That's 1.1. In gpp, if you stand in front of one turret, you can take 80 damage per second (i think) [Pulse rifle is 90 with fps > 50] and gpp tyrant has 350 health maximum. We'll have to wait for rotacak to decide what to do about this.
#other info:
My gpp-1.1 fusion mod has the tyrant with 375 hp, GPP-like [nerfed] charge [initial 76 dmg, 1.1 armour system {hence not that overpowered}, minimum damage 15, 10 per second, takes a little above a whole second to kill a larmour-helmet without swiping], 1.1 charge-swipe combo abilities, regenerates 10hp/s* without a booster, and 20hp/s with boost.
*My latest one, hasn't been uploaded yet because of a bug i need to get rid of that causes signal 11 crashes
1.1 rant has 400 hp, deals ~140 damage per second with swipe, charge only about 50, regenerates 14 hp/s.
GPP rant has 350 hp, deals out ~120 dmg/s with swipe, charge ~800 dmg/s [Initial hit 111 if started while touching, does 10 times per second, kills battlesuits within 0.4 seconds, larmour-helms in 0.3] and heals 3.5 hp/s [wtf you may ask? I'm serious.]
Sounds like a "super-tyrant". Why have an uber alien that mostly kills what it runs into?
Velocity is velocity. We can say it like [in terms of current quake units] divide velocity by 6 and you'll get the result damage. Hence running into stationary stnaked people would take at least 3 hits while charging only 2. Maybe we could also add a 'buff' for using the secondary button and/or make simple 'nudging' deal 20% damage or so.
Btw, whenever you deal damage with charge, you push them way so it isn't as easy as you think to simply 'run into them constantly' especially with a ping like the one i usually have. Now that i think about it, that's just another ping-bias thing. Tremulous already has so many ping-bias-ness.
Gpp is considered "balance" but that's just because high pingers can't use classes like basilisk and tyrant as their main functions require low pings. In reality with low ping, aliens are overpowered as fuck, moreso than 1.1 aliens are.
