Hello there,
It does break my heart to see a player leave the game. I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with the game, VeryShae.
On the other hand, that's indeed part of the game mechanics. All players have a few seconds on invulnerability after killing an elite and a raider/antagonist, as it would be really unfair to let them be killed after they secured the kill. You can use that too in order to avoid harm or take advantage of the situation! I really hope this info helps you.
Since you're very nice, I decided to reinstall Spacelords.
I even posted on different game forums to invite new players to Splacelords. Hope someone will come.
Anyway, please fix small things that may irritate frequent players, such as there are too many cinematics or so. I have played so many games in my life and I think Spacelords is at least a 100 million dollars game if small things were fixed and there were more game modes (elimination, free for all, etc.). Maps are already very good for PvP purpose so I don't see any problems in this.
In fact, I have never seen a game with so many interesting ideas and designs like Spacelords before.
Regards
