Where'd the prop limit go? I can barely see it!

What is your suggestion?
A: Change the prop limit back to twenty or higher if reasonable. (20-25)

How would this benefit the server?
A: What can engineers/GRID do with barely any props? Fifteen props can either make a small base for one entrance or a shit base for two or more entrances. I also tested it with my GRID trainer and he agrees that the prop limit is bullshit.

MFW, ive never had a true issue with it, i think having a lower prop count makes for more interesting bases, cause you gotta think more about it rather than placing multiple sheets to reinforce.

I feel like it would be the other way around, because if you don't have enough props to make traps and things, then all you can do is place sheets and doors on entrances.

This is exactly what happened last time we increased the prop limit.

I think the prop limit for normal ENG ULXs and VIP ENG ULXs should be the same at 20 (ENG = 15, VIPENG = 20), but I don't think more than 20 props are necessary to build a singular base area unless you're trying to stack a lot of props for additional defense, which is another reason to have the lower prop limit.

Besides that, there's no limit to how many GRIDs and ENGs can be online at the same time. If there's three online per side that's a maximum of 90 (120) props just hanging around. I know from experience as a GM that having that many props laying around can cause a lot of lag for lower-end PCs.

So, -1 to global increase, +1 to making ENG and VIPENG have the same limit.

Same prop limit of 20 or 15? If 20 then thank you for agreeing. 15 is too little.

20, VIP ENG ULX already gets 20 props so it's not a huge change.

So to recap most of us think the prop limit should be 20 for all engineers/GRID?
