Rebuffing the Dragon's Eye (Cameras)

[KaiserJ]

funfact : my balance ideas aren't worth the bytes they're saved as.

O-k... That was a rather stupid suggestion IMO.

Ya I know it was a joke...

Its not a joke its a good idea. Thats kind of rude of you to call this great idea stupid AND a joke.

What's your problem with everyone on spring?
You're rude everywhere, and flame people all over on the lobby too. And that was very well a joke.

Maybe it's because he's got a dopey looking face. His right eye looks like an inverted b, and his left eye looks like a b.

i dont want to read whole topic, so i dont know if it was mentioned, but could someone add camerars LOS range while marked? (like turrent) thx

[Blue_Falcon]

No, it hasn't been suggested yet.

Very good idea. +1

That's a very good idea. Might be doable with the current LOS widget by just giving it a useless weapon

You nailed it on the head as usual. Sharp thinker you are car.

Who do I flame on the lobby? Mostly im the one who gets flamed lol .

Personally, I suggest the GreyLos widget by Basic (I think) in Supreme Annihilation. It shows LOS in a very nice non-LSD format.

Sounds cool, I'll have to have a look at that...
Ya, don't blame me for never having seen that before :D

It would be nice if the camera:

• Was a hovercraft
• Was buildable by seaplanes and naval engineers

Similarly, it would be nicer if the minelayer could build much faster (and mines were similarly more expensive in build time) -- as it is it takes him much too long to make teeth and cameras. I believe minelayers originally had their build power nerfed because at the time they couldn't be prevented from helping build arbitrary units.

Perhaps a floating camera (i.e. a separate unit) would be nice here, which does exactly the same as the regular camera. Like the base of a floating radar, for instance, that base a bit sized down, and the camera on top. That seems a bit more realistic to me than making it a hovercraft, which puts a camera somewhere randomly on the sea.. =)

I think this unit should be in the building list of all t1 sea constructors (including commanders and amphibious constructors), but I am not sure about the other t1 constructors. At least I can imagine situations where it is used to peek down a wall to see if there are ships around. Then having it in all t1 constructors wouldn't be bad at all.

About the name: how about "neptune's eye" or "sea dragon's eye"?

Really good idea, though. Hope to see it in a future version of BA :)

About the minelayer: good idea. Maybe it would be nice to only enable other minlayers to help each other, instead of letting them build faster.

I say Shark's eye, matching with the sea equivalent of Dragon's teeth.
Dragon's Teeth - Dragon's Eye
Shark's Teeth - Shark's Eye (just for the idiots )

I'll go for that too :)
