Unlimited Extra Chassies

[lovegrooove]

I have noticed that if I build extra chassies, and then switch character through the celestial portal, they get deactivated. 

For example, the "warm standby" skill stops working, which usually keeps the beta circuits in the chassie active. 

When I switch back to WX, that skill still doesn't come back online, and the "remote transfer" skill (which lets you swap chassies throughout the map) also doesn't work on these chassies. I can however right click the chassies, after which they regain both these funcions. 

If I build 3 chassies and switch characters, I can also build 3 more chassies, but can no longer interact with the old ones, until I get rid of the appropriate number of new chassies, to adhere to the limit. 

This is repeatable after each switch, so you can have an unlimited number of chassies on the map.

 

Now my question: Is this meant to work like that? I find the remote transfer most useful, if I can stash a body on monkey island, pearls island, beequeen and so forth. Having to walk to all these places again, in order to regain access, just for switching to another character, is a big down side in my opinion. 

I would much rather not have the ability to build new chassies after swapping characters, if the chassie limit is already reached, but still be able to use the remote transfer on old chassies, when I swap back to WX again. 

The fact that the warm standby stops working, while I'm not playing WX, is only fair I think. That should stay the way it is right now imo.

I think this was intentional. Winona's catapults, generators and lights function differently because it is made to help the whole team, wx78 chassis on the other hand is his personal body, Im not 100% sure but I think wx78 wouldnt like sharing his robotic abilities.
Also his chassis would be too op, if they dont lose charges while active, Winona's lights needs a generator to work, wx78 chassis work without any other input.

It might be easier to code it the way it is now, Im not sure but it seems not so bad as of right now.
If I had someone to test it with I would try if another wx78 can claim the body that belongs to somebody else after they change character and make more bodies, currently you cant interact with someones body if they leave, Im pretty sure.

They should fix this

Blegh Celestial Portal cheese. Hope it gets fixed.

It's not really cheese. It's more of an inconvenience and a deterrant from swapping characters, rather than being an advantage.
