Drain

I know Force Drain is unmovie like but why is it completely shut off? And is it possible to simply turn it back on with the code that is in the SVN? Or was there a bug in the programming that caused it to be broken?

There is no reason nor need for it to be in the mod. It serves no purpose currently and we don't really have any more time to balance new force powers. I was talking to Darth about adding another power yesterday, and he asked me something in the lines of: "you want to add a new power now?" What he meant was that we've been busy for weeks trying to get all the bugs out of the release and balancing it, adding a new force power would mean making one step forwards and two steps back.

There is no reason drain can't be in the game once balanced, but I think we should reserve drain's code and place for a better, more realistic power.

The question was not to balance it but to have it on again, there was nothing about a new power, just bringing back the old.

All powers work but Drain, why is that? Was it shut off on purpose or what?

in the OJP context, by "bringing back" drain is to add a new force power to the overall game.

Drat right. I'm all in favour of new Force powers, just not right now.
