Pleeaase change the way the nuke charges already!!

★★★★★ Novice

This game would be soo much better if it lasted longer. The only way to do that is to change the nuke.

There are many ways it can be changed to do this and each way would increase the number of tactics and allow for better units, more strategies and better balancing.

Any suggestions on how to change it?

I have seen a few people suggest that the part of the bar that the smaller part which empties when the missile isn't contested needs to take up a larger part of the full charging bar

yep, that's the suggestion I tend to make, wouldn't have to be much larger to give enough time to react and stop silly mistakes, though the other part would be for that small section to empty completely when the missile fully changed hands (not contested, but from one player, through contested, to the other)

Yeah that makes tons of sense as it stands now a player can have 1 pixel of bar left to charge, then the other player takes control of the missile through some way and it immediately launches. Always thought that was rather silly

I think either of your ideas would be great, though am not sure if having both added together would be best, depends on how much larger the "Final Charge" (Decaying bar) gets. Am more in favor of having the "Final Charge" to decay when owner switches and then charge back up. Adding both may make games a little too long but this is what Pre-Alpha is for, testing things.

The small fraction at the end of the bar seems to symbolize the alignment of the missile.

It would make sense that the bar would dwindle back to the marker and then refills when ownership of the missile changes shortly before launch. 

Similar as the missile rotates 180° to the new target.
