The option that has not been discussed:
Did not say in this thread. Hence my assumption of (at any time).
I see. But wouldn't people flying straight at each other get double collisions?
If both collided yes they would, but I am speaking of how it changes the choices you make on a head on engagement. I.E. how it effects behavior.
At the moment all is in your own hands, you know if you do not collide with the other guy, you do not take damage and hence reap the rewards of that choice.
Under your suggestion.
You know that if you avoid the collision you will not take damage, but also know this allows the other guy to fly right threw you with out taking damage.And hence your choice gives the other guy an advantage. He can now choose to collide or not collide with the same outcome. Do you think that knowledge may change the way you approach head ons?
I believe most people would now make the choice to fly right threw the other person, causing a rise in the number of head on collisions and hence blaming other guy, why didn't you try to avoid. And hence a huge rise in whines.
the lag on the damage a big deal? I see the collide message isn't that lag less than a second?
I said it was annoying. Not a big deal.
