Anti-spawn nuking mod?

That's an interesting idea. Might not go down well with the soloers though.

Do you think non-emergency rockets are acceptable during targets objectives; should it work if there's a target within the damage radius?

No, if anyone's shields are down, even not yours, you can use Cobra, that's what I meant.



Soloers would most probably not use this mod
Target waves are a good possible exceptions, yes.

I don't think that's currently possible to do, and if it is, it'd be too difficult. If it really bothers you I suggest doing as I did. I made a mod (code 3332 in modmaker, I also removed Sandstorm Dagger for reasons) where the explosion radius is so small that it will only kill what you hit directly (maybe mooks that are close too, but spawn nuking is no longer viable in most circumstances). In the end I don't usually run it cause I no longer bump into the same players I was annoyed with, and I costed me a few games. Plus warning people beforehand was quite bothersome.

If the main reason for removing cobra damage is to impede score-whoring, then it won't work. Otherwise we would also need a mod that removes the damage from Incendiary Ammo, Reegar, Carrier, BW and also Snap-Freeze or Flamer...'cause people would just resort to these solutions then for their epeen-problems.

I personally have zero problems with nuking a single or two spawns at the most on waves 7 to 9 to speed games along for those of us still badly needing the credits (and not wanting to use master race space magic - which I do appreciate). Using missiles on Extraction is a no-go for me, except to safe a teammate from a sync-kill.

I can however totally understand that using missiles spoils the fun for veteran players.

That's what I would suggest. I think each person should have one nuke, it should clear the whole map and not effect the budget. Then balance the game from there.

Yes.

Depends. If we were talking about ME3MP (which we aren't really, cause it's not going to happen) then they'd have to increase the points you get for kills and all that so promoting and challenges take the same "time" to get done. If they did this for a different game they'd only have to balance it out from the start. 

If you meant that modders did this, well, I don't think it's possible or worth the effort, considering MEA is nearly here, but see the previous paragraph .

I think this is my rockets do 1 dmg tweak (modmaker might be needed to bypass check at the start of the game); www.mediafire.com/file/ny4ijqq0lv9qlnz/Coalesced.bin

Try it. I guarantee the first few that times you see pugs try to spawn nuke or save the day with rockets will result in much laughter.

I insist. I say it's a lot more fun. Without rockets to bail you out of every situation, things get more exciting. Especially in pugs. And especially during objectives.

I think I played this mod with you once.

Rocket damage is fine, spawned enemies also already have extra DR so the rocket damage is sort of reduced for spawns as it is.

I agree with the sentiment above that it was the number of rockets that lead to spawn nuking since a team has more than enough for most emergencies and even objectives. Probably should have been limited to one per player.
