But been crushed by orni that do not take any damage. No.&#8221; You can disagree if you want, but that&#8217;s a pretty compelling argument, right there.<\/p>\n<p>This whole debacle comes from the fact that, in Dune: Awakening, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-how-to-repair\/\">repairing<\/a> vehicles is meant to be a slow fight against entropy. Big-budget items like the ornithopter can take hours to assemble. As such, they only slowly degrade via general use (or, you know, being shot at with rockets). Each repair lowers a vehicle part&#8217;s overall durability, meaning all vehicles decay eventually.<\/p>\n<p>The design intent seems to be avoiding frustration from disconnects, crashes, and the like\u2014players work hard to get their ornithopters, so Dune: Awakening&#8217;s devs don&#8217;t want them losing their vehicles to a mid-flight power cut or server crash. Fair do&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>The unanticipated consequence being that players, being made of flesh and blood, <em>do <\/em>take damage from the vehicles colliding into them.
