I’d like to mention @Baron’s idea suggested back in EA 109.
Yesterday I flew cup knockout match, I was using Plasma Rifle when the wave Ribbit shown up. It keeps shooting the indestructible barriers, I had a very bad time trying kill all the saucers and destroy the alien container. I think it’s very unfair for player using auto-lock weapon like Lightning Fryer, Positron Stream or Plasma Rifle since they keep locking on nowhere.
Since my Plasma Rifle have AoE effect when holding, I tried hard but it can only slightly reach the saucers if it locked on the upper barriers row. The barriers move very fast and the damage was very small, it would take me hours to kill the saucers this way. The positron’s split or lightning’s chaining might not be much better.
I even tried to sneak through the barriers and shoot right under them. Because the gap between the saucers and the barriers was small, I didn’t survive it though I might if I flew much more carefully.
So, I also suggest reduce the number of barriers (more space) or make them destructible. What do you think?
