Just in case you didnt know:
-Cannonballs can be loaded in the cannon twice (I dont know what effect it has)
-Powder pouches can be loaded in to cannons (Mouse altfire) for a flame thower
-Airmines can be loaded in to cannons (Mouse Altfire) and are then used as dual fire rockets (Explodes on contact, flat trajectory, besides for the corkscrewing)

You have unlimited cannon ammo. On every ship there is a barrel, use it with your bare hands to get a cannon ball from it.

Double loading cannon balls makes the shot more powerfull but the range shorter, so it's not wise to just did it randomly unless it's a close shot!
And you can load more than one set of rockets, for every set it will fire two rockets and will mean you don't ahve to reload or relight, it'll fire each set one after the other! Very effective!

Yarr, there's still a bunch of bugs, but the team seemes to be quite dedicated and hard working, imagine what will be including in the future! Huge battleships on large scaled maps, above the clouds etc? More Pirated themed characters etc? This game got sooo much potensial!

How is the bot support? Is it relatively servicable?

I'm definitely going to give this mod a look however, sounds crazy.

But support is pretty good. Not as fun as with human players obviously, but they can fly balloon and everything


Now for another topic.
I had two sessions ruined by lobotomized teamkillers now :mad:
Idiots who run around for hours throwing gunpowder at their own people and ships.
Unfortunately kickvoting was either configured badly or not activated at all

Yes I know, teamkilling is a common problem right now, it heritages from the lack of ballons... people like to board other balloons and leave their own to its destiny, but with the current system they take a lot of time to respawn.

This is a known issue of the Airbucs team so expect some kind of solution in future versions. :)

If it's NOT cause of lack of balloons it's just cause the tkers are REALLY lame guys with no life... FF off could work but would seem a bit lame not to cause dmg on friendly ships with cannons.

People jumping ship is annoying as well, but that's not what I mean

Those guys were just *******s who ran around on the ground throwing gunpowder around because they thought it's somehow funny. YAAAAAAAR :mad:

Harr harr well I guess that teamkilling is a common problem in all teambased games. Even thou it's a bit more lame in Airbucs since it takes time to reach the enemy :(

Here'sa couple of more screens for the newblood. Check out the first one. when boosting while peeps are linked to the boat with ropes make em fly, harr :)

Visit site
the good thing about airbuccs is that it has such a small community, you can get to know everybody and how good they are. for example, in iddQd's first screenshot, Mac is on the ship with him. Mac is one of the best airbuccs players i've met. He can fly well, aim well, and load damn well. Airmage is one of my favorite pilots, but there are a few good pilots out there. I could go on and on naming names, but you get my point.

Most certainly. :tup:

Team damage needs to be addressed though. Teamkillers can really screw things up. Other than that, it's a great mod and I've had loads of fun with it. :)

Nah. Sometimes they jump on friendly balloon even though the current one is perfectly fine

People board friendly ships because a ship with a crwe is better than one without!

Anyway, if your looking for decent players to crew with then a guy called Kissamies is the best palyer out there i believe, also DancingRacoon and Renius are damned fine people! Those three are always about when i play, sadly i'm no where near as good as them!

Erm, and in the process they leave a balloon with just 1 or 2 people back.
Apart from understandable things like hijacking enemy ships, some do it just because they are bored or something

ABU is great when you find the right people, and there is some nice ones out there, but also many idiots.
People who just stand around and do nothing, people who do crap like only firing airmines, not using cannons, firing cannons over/into your own base, teamkillers....
Had some sessions ruined by such behaviour
