Sorry if this was stated somewhere already, but I am confused with the 1.2 lucifer cannon. The traveling faster thing is cool, but the timer is confusing. It something like I can only shoot 1 luci shot every second or seomthing, right? Another thing is that in 1.1, I often hold the luci down then shoot a secondary shot instead of a large shot if there is no viable target. Hoever, when I try this in 1.2, the sound of the secondary fires, but then the primary still blows up in my face if I don't release it. I am also not even sure if the secondary fired or not. An explanation would be fantastic.

Anyways, keep up the good work. A lot of stuff your members are doing is really paying off.

norf fixed the ammo conservation bug on purpose, and since risujin added charge bars for both sides luci isn't really confusing anymore (it's next to your ammo counter)

 * Yeah, the right click cancel was a mistake, really. It's "fixed." I know it was handy for being able to pounce around every corner, but this is a bit more fair.
 * As another note, you now cannot cancel by switching to blaster either
 * Lucy second fire has lower repeat, yes.
 * Lucy also has less max ammo
 * Lucy is much faster than it was, and overall probably more dangerous.

Thanks. I never really looked at the ammo while firing, so i guess i didn't notice the counter. One more question. If i press the secondary fire while charging, does it still use the ammo even though no projectile is fired?

If I remember correctly, pressing the secondary while charging the primary will fire a primary, and take a primary's worth of ammo from you. Could be wrong about that though.

no, the primary is still charging and will blow in your face even if you press secondary.

You might be thinking of the DS server ben.  Ghost had it coded such that any time you used the secondary fire, it ate like 30 ammo.

I believe this was done to prevent noobs from luci spamming with the secondary fire, which A) is totally useless, B) lags the server and C) make a horrible noise Angry
