I think using a sniper nest should just, code wise, dock your skill by about 10 points. That reduces your hit chances correct? Combat usually takes place in LCS at like 5 meters. If you're firing at moving targets several meters away, that changes things.

Same thing for MG nests.

I was also thinking that something similar but even harder would happen for the suggestion of assassinations.

All thanks goes to Toady; I remember them from before I worked on the game. Heck, I'm probably the one that broke them!

Typical LCS combat takes place at hand-to-hand range, so 5 meters seems pretty long.  (MP5s & M4s have an accuracy bonus due to being point-and-spray.)

Conversely, -10 to skills means that a Liberal would have to be pretty much superhumanly agile/extremely Juiced (Liberal Guardian at least) to be able to have any effective Rifle skill in the sniper nest.  10 Agility is a great starting level.  You'd need about 15 AG and lots of skilling in order to have 14-15 Rifle, thereby having a decent shot at effectively sniping.

Re fortifying: looks like all Liberal safehouses have an enhancements menu.  (Was asked to stockpile rations at the Uni Apartments, and the entire menu was available.)  Methinks there's a bug or two afoot.

Would it be possible for a sniper to "accidently" shoot a Liberal because they have too much wisdom?

I don't think you're supposed to modify the Homeless Shelter. Sounds like a bug to me.

EDIT: Pretty much what KLA101 said in his post further up.

I made a new character, selecting B for the background options, which gets you an assault rifle, 3 in the rifles skill, and gang members. I did activism until I hit the max juice you can get for doing so. I modded the xml files so that an AR-15 gave you a -10 to your accuracy. (not sure if this is handled as a skills deduction or not, but I assumed yes). I then headed over to the sweat shop, alone, busted in, and went crazy. Everytime I died and had to save scum, BUT, gangster mc liberal was still able to get hits in every once in a while.


I tried a different way. Modded the AR15 back to normal. Polished off cheat engine, same setup, but then I changed the value of Gangster mcLiberal's rifle skill to -7.
No hits at all... I don't think the accuracy bonus is handled as a skills deduction anymore guys.

Let the sniping mechanic apply a -10 acc penalty to whatever it is you're shooting with?

[Cheedows]

AR-15 is technically a hunting rifle (correct me if I'm wrong here, not really familiar with arms) so would we use that for a sniper rifle?
 
I'm assuming you don't get a headshot everytime with a sniper rifle unlike in the bullet gods in modern FPS'.  If they can still get hits then yes, I agree with tenmillimaster.  Can Heavy Machine guns possibly give friendly-fire?

[tenmillimaster]

Yes. One would;.223's can definitely reach out quite a ways, just not as effectively as dedicated Sniper rifles. It helps that the AR platform is easily accurized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_12_Special_Purpose_Rifle and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Squad_Designated_Marksman_Rifle would be examples of AR15's in sniping/designated marksman roles. Both are expected to hit out to 550 meters. But don't forget that the maximum range is much, much farther than that.

If I was the LCS, I'd use whatever I had on had. Different bonuses for different Categories of weapons, IMO.

  I had that one too. Also, the first person you enlighten can recruit (Verified in 2 saves). Checking to see if there is also a problem with releasing someone from death row on the 2nd save.Will get back to you.

I've noticed that my clothing-maker (a Hippie, if that matters) seems to make twice as much clothing as expected: as in one day's creation of a first-rate Black Robe results in 2 Black Robes, etc.  It was late, though, so I could have been imagining things.  Anyone else seen something like that?

[Karlito]

Clothing making has been working as expected for me.

This is probably a bit of a stupid question, but where exactly in the source code is the part that decides if the CCS/police/other will attack and where?

[Jonathan S. Fox]

This is probably a bit of a stupid question, but where exactly in the source code is the part that decides if the CCS/police/other will attack and where?

Roughly the first 900 lines of siege.cpp.

What about CCS attacks on non-LCS sites?
