This is the most freaking annoying crap ever. They scuttle while under your control. They scuttle while not under your control. It's unavoidable.

I was making a pretty BA video of a zombie cave run, but when ever I set the rocket to "Stay" and unload the brain bot it self-scuttles. I had the rocket near the control chip site, totally upright, with 97 health. It freaking self-scuttled.

This needs fixed in the next build. Make craft self-scuttle less. And a variable for turning off self-scuttling would be nice too.

Discuss.

In my case, II'll (for some odd reason) be free falling after some epic escape from a Coalition Rocketeer and after not using the controls for about 4 seconds it will go into scuttle mode. What the fudge.

Tons of tipped over rockets building up and burrowing through the terrain are probably why Data added this.

I love your sig's quote.
however, my rockets only self-scuttle if they hit 0 HP or are on their sides for an extended period of time.

It always seems that my rockets self-scuttle and the Ai's can stay on the'yre side for extended amounts of time without scuttling.

my rockets only scuttle if I leave it under my control on it's side for like, 4 seconds. but if I swap actors it scuttles immediately.

I just want to be able to right the damn things... DAMN YOU NERFING THE SIDE THRUSTERS NUMGUN!

Same deal for me.

uhm exalion, just cause theyre nerfed doesnt mean you cant right it by bursting down and to the side, try it.

Exalion: Use the retro thrusters when trying to get up, those help and make it easy.

I'm annoyed by this crap aswell. Especially because youre not allowed to fly upside down with a rocket, since if you do, it will auto-scuttle if you do it too long.

I'm gonna talk with Data sometime on this.

I've never had any Upright-rockets of mine scuttle.

The only time it happens to me is when my rockets flip and start to dig into the ground or stuff.

This is the thing that really annoyed me. Rockets also self scuttle the moment you switch to a different actor if they have been beyond 180 degrees (rotation) at any point. So a rocket that flips 360 is lost as soon as the load is delivered, weather you correct the spin or not.

Oh, that was my problem. That's still dumb. I can't do sweet rocket-infiltration tricks

if they pile up they rape the terrain.

because of their deepgroups. i still think that should be fixed on all weapons and devices. riot shields do not need deepgroups damnit DRL!

if one of the bullets from my uber single use shotgun hits a shield, it goes to the bottom of the map.
