New weapons ideas

How about a deployable turret drone that would follow you around and shoot at anything red. It could shoot a AC or perhaps a gat. Maybe it could take the place of air strikes on Infantry and have a limit of one use till you reload. Both sides would have them available to keep it fair. Very Happy

thinking about it i think it would be cool to have a hovering camera.. but not a shooting drone.. that would be a bitch on wheels Smile

I was rather impressed with Ishbuu's flack cannon a while back Wink

I know of one update that should be looked into.Rear view mirrors on your bots so I can stop running into trees and rocks trying to get away.

The flack cannon rocks. A very useful weapon. And if Snarle gets mirrors, I want a set of mud flaps with the naked ladies on them. Razz

You can have mud flaps on a tank and look cool.But not on a bots legs,they would slow you down because you would be banging into them when you walk.

An abolisher would look cool with those on it. GottaISH findISH a wayISH. Oh I think I know who might know how. Wink

I still liked the super overpowered gauss rifle that ish let us test...fired twice as fast as an AC, stronger than a brimstone, more velocity than a brimstone, wider than a brimstone, no energy drain -- PERFECT WEAPON

But anyways, here is my idea

A grenade launcher that fires explosives that bounce and explode after 3 seconds. This would create a new aspect to the game, it would allow attacks without having a clear LOS (line of sight)

It would also solve that problem with the tank camping the EC core...bank a few grenades off the wall and in there without taking any damage from him

Actually Jade, Ishbuu made a mortar that acts like what you describe. Look under the video links for the Ishmod video and you'll see it in action. And your right about the Gauss cannon. It's a cool weapon, although I think Ish said the damage level was 100 as opposed to the brimstone's 125. It didn't use energy but it did have a limit on the rounds.

I loved those gernades with the delay on them.In a full run you could kick it to the ground at the base of a wall,hit the wall and go over you.Then you jump up and fly and damage who ever was chasing you.They were also great for getting someone who is hiding around a corner in the tunnels.Ish needs to get those back and into the game.

How about being able to choose between a standard tank with turrets or a tank with a repair laser. Perhaps some other spec wep...idea being that turrets cause lag and with multiple tanks that can be problematic.

Sounds good Slip. Let me see if the Skunk Works can do that for a mod and we can try it out. Smile

What about deployable radar jamming units? Maybe instead of mines, scouts could be able to deploy 3-4 of these in strategic spots so that the opposite faction could not track troop movements in those areas.
