Why can we not use a totally different style for TLL or a new unit with its own specialised approach other than simpyl getting a small kbot and giving it cloaking ability.
Maybe a unit that deals little damage but pushes units around and into eachother, you couldn't exactly storm a base with just these, but it would definitely be different.
Also, did anyone ever try to make a mine that left a rather large, passable, invisible, burning feature? That would be interesting.
I tried to make an implosion with a negative impulsefactor, but it just treated it as positive...

Arm has the Zeus. Core has the Pyro. TLL should have the Claw.
The Claw would be a high hp melee k-bot, using claws to tear enemies up.

TLL Had the Eldar but M3G didnt relese it for the new TLL 1.1 version. I think someone will have to take it from the 1.0 version and add on to the 1.1
Another think that could be made and placed in the space of the Flame Thrower Kbot for the TLL is a unit with some acid sprawy using the GasBags animation or a Stream Lazer that fires very fast with small damage.

an acid like weapon sounds good, lasers dont tho..
An alternative would be needed so ti didnt look like another laser, or just a strange looking bullet, perhaps just a spray of semitransparent projectiles that produce white smoke on impact, with the same sort of area effect as the pyros.

The Acid spray could have a slightly larger area then the flamethrower and the same damage. Only diference is that i would have to use a 3DO model of a green bubble since there isnt any animations for it on the game.

Unless you tried to use a two stage weapon where a globule is fired, and then that hits the unit and sprays lots of smaller but weaker projectiles, how you'd create a 2 stage weapon I dunno, but it can be done.

test this out on lava maps, if the bug is what I think it is (water damage on floating buildings), then it is something I've already brought up.

As beamlasers are now way better controllable then a lot of spring versions back. I am considering starting to work on this again.
So any futher suggestions would be awesome.

You should make the beam as wide as the engine will allow - how cool would it be to see units completely inside the beam before getting vaporized?

you gotta be a little careful with the thickness... too think and you start noticing that it's flat.

FYI, the level three energy weapon, think its called a fryer? one of its secondary zap guns does not fire, or it fires from the other gun.
