The New Pulling Gripe Thread

[Paineframe]

If "just click drag it onto your vehicle" or "hit it with the cargo transporter and forget about it" or "slap a barcode on and send it through belt hell" or "just use a cart and stop trying to drag a crate halfway around the station dummy" are considered painfully slow and impossibly difficult by players I'm definitely not surprised it got reverted.

Belt Hell can be a bit funky on occasion, but it's still more or less reliable and I'd say the only objectively lame transport option is the Mule and even that can be handy sometimes and is the most fun transportation option for traitor qms.

The ling sting drag and kidnap maneuver was definitely one of the biggest factors in the change and god I'm glad we at least kept that. The full speed pull if standing change is also pretty good.

Two of those methods of transportation are for sending things to other people, something that's theoretically possible but rarely seen to actually happen. The rest aren't actually any better or more reliable than just dragging a crate around. For instance, it's nice that the forklift can carry multiple crates, but since one crate can carry an infinite number of items, the only reason to ever move multiples is if you're distributing large numbers of items to multiple different locations all in one trip. Problem is, I can't remember the last time I saw the QM get three requests in an entire round, so it's pretty much just for gimmickery or destruction - and even then, there's no way you're going to be able to deliver to three separate places without someone hijacking the forklift and driving off with it.
