Demolish/Auto-demolish Half Built enemy Derricks?

[NoQ]

a bit unreal

Considering that they are made of pure electricity (transfered to the trucks via wi-fi), i found it perfectly realistic (:

Sorry but it's overkill. Half-build have already half-hp in master.

Hmm. What do we loose if we introduce this rule? Well, it might be ok to apply this rule to derricks only.

my approach would be the burn time of the well is proportional to how built the derrick was. Example a fully built and operational derrick gets destroyed the well burns for the full amount of time, whereas a half built derrick gets destroyed the well just burns for half as long.

Good idea, but not directly related: the situation when you have tanks to capture the derrick is not really a problem, but the early game when only trucks are present on the map is.

I'm for increasing build time + auto-demolish - would be fine I think. I dont like this "oil-hunt" too

same

Would it be correct to suggest that the derrick is half build because the builder has been destroyed...
Leaving the attacking unit there a little longer and destroy the half made derrick too!

no you can drive truck and do partial builds to prevent other team from using trucks to get oil

[ODDity]

The notion of "auto demolish" doesn't sit well with me

[Emdek]

Let's just auto-decay unfinished structures unless they are being built by at least one truck. If that's what meant by auto-demolish, i like it, and it seems to be the simpliest (:

I like this idea, if it would apply to all structures, time to fully auto decay could depend on percentage level of completion.
Unfinished building should start that sequence after (probably) constant time (for example 10 seconds) and then start to revert it's completion level bar.

okok, every solution much better than current situatuion!

[Iluvalar]

it would not solve the problem at all if the truck rusher build them completely. They are still free hp...

"free HP"? your truck can be killed then you lost power

[Iluvalar]

combined with mg towers, you can't attack with viper wheel because they are too weak to face the tower and you can't counter with towers yourself because they would shoot the derrick first. Hence the free hp. The rushed player is screwed enough to lose a lot of energy.

Derricks shouldn't cost anything. Anything else is a filthy mod. If the community really wants to get rid of half builds, they should do the auto-vanish suggestion.
A delay of 10 seconds with no burning seems fair.

EDIT: Some have said I have switched sides and am in favor of removing half builds, I am not.

[bendib]

Iluvalar: STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE GAME COMPLETELY BALANCED. It's not supposed to be completely even! You're going to make it boring!

[Perseus]

Don't really see the point of this, thought half builds had been dealt with - they don't have as much hp as 2.3.9. Therefore, are easily destroyed anyway. Why the need for an additional change?

Thank you Perseus!
