PL Vigil RC10

[theatreTECHIE]

PL Vigil - Single stage, 4 point payload originally made in the 2016 Winter 72 Hour Jam (Originally named PL Dawn's Vigil)

Red have built their own observatory. Unfortunately for them, blu has learnt about it's existence, and are trying to do what they do best - blow it up.

Thanks as always to A Boojum Snark for his library and thanks to Nightwalker for jogging my ideas for second.

Read that as "Dawn's Virgil" at first.

"What's next, Dawn's Dante?"

Final release for the 72 Hour Jam
- Tweaked spawn times
- Increased height of building so it doesn't appear as if you can stand on it

For those people who played it, what do you like/dislike about the third and fourth points (especially the third)? I'm thinking about changing around red's last spawn so that it's directly behind the support for the telescope, and changing the lower flank so that it's longer and exits into the final area at the side rather than at the back.
Additionally, should I instead make the telescope a laser gun? The laser gun could fire if red wins, and blow something up in the sky.

Naw, we need more epic telescopes in maps! It makes for a much more memorable setpiece.

Porque no los dos?

Porque no los dos?

The centerpiece of last will either be a laser or a telescope. Not both.

Naw, we need more epic telescopes in maps! It makes for a much more memorable setpiece.

I'm leaning towards this, I can save the other idea for another time.
