There won't be any gaping holes in core's L3 lineup.

This new FX system is a joy to work with. I can make the effects so... expressive. Commander's got a laser that's almost pure white except for red at the fringe, and very thin, to show how advanced and cohesive the laser is. Common units like gators have lasers with only a thin white streak in the middle since they're mass-produced and cheaply made, and so on.

Okay, i just built a Firestorm in a game.

It died quickly to a few Thuds and didnt even do any real damage to them.

They are worthless right now; they need their old power back...

I can't remember them ever being effecttive...

They used to be able to seriously injure a Kargie (or two if they were next to each other) before dying to them - this is singlehandedly, alone, and not supported by anything else.

The flame weapon now is a little stream that is even less effective than the pyro because the darn thing doesnt turn quickly. if its a antiL1 swarm killer, it should be able to turn much quicker and have a much larger AoE for its weapon, along with some power and health added. As it is, it does absolutely nothing, even to a couple of thuds passing by.

do you mean in the last version where they had 17000 hp by accident?

OK, they were fun then. ^_^

But noe they're fairly pricey and weak. I'd rather build vipers...

Yeah, they were actually rather not that unballanced with 17,000 HP

They were overnerfed this ver. Totally useless.

You have multi colored lasers? If so, my particle cannon SHALL WORK!

Hip-Hip-hooray!

just a few thing :)

the jethro does the recoil on the wrong barrel ( shoot the left missile and the right barrel recoil and viceversa, also on the right barrel has the missile hole - the red dot - in the rear of the misisle launcher ), and the core lvl2 armed geothermal has a weird salvo: 2 shots, reload, 1 shot, reload again

if it's needed, tomorrow i'll post some image of the jethro "bug"
(= if someone don't understand my poor english -.-)

+1 to the firestorm buff, they need that

Yeppers... I was going to make this totally badass laser... but couldn't justify putting it in... it'd just be too cool. Maybe I'll put it in anyway.

Put it on the Krogoth or something.

Also, Vehicles need a -10% metal cost reduction. I think Everyone agreed on that *hopes to get away with it*

oh crazy suggestion, you were doomed before drone finished typing you.
