Fang, I'm quite qwilling to help you make these 100 or so NI units. I'm sure over people would help to!

Don't you! :Glares:

That made absolutely no sense... I thought I understood it until "Don't you! :Glares:".

Doesn't Fang what?!

I new there had to be more in the crackerjack box than just a Lobby Update! Between this and the new AA, I expect to have a lot of fun this week. Custom explosions, you say?

I have a question on how people think the shields ought to work...

option 1: block energy weapons only (plasma, laser, ion, lightning..etc)
option 2: block all weapons
option 3: have several types ie energy shields and kinetic shields to choose from

nm they will block all weapons.. there is no way around that..

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 17 Jun 2006, 19:25

Option one!

krogothe · Post by **krogothe** » 17 Jun 2006, 19:36

2: plasma is the main URC weapons so theyre fucked vs shields, while gd can waltz in with their cannons

Option 2, with the shields not blocking anything fired from within the shield. We can either bombard it until it falls, or we can roll through it and feast on the cream filling.

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 17 Jun 2006, 20:33

I change my vote to option two, now that those points have been raised.

Min3mat · Post by **Min3mat** » 17 Jun 2006, 20:48

is this going to be like 2150 with extremely low recharge rates but fairly high values to start?
or what?

URC has numerous rocket and artillery units. I usually mix in rockets with my plasma troops. Anti-plasma defenses make sense to me, provided that a corresponding GD weapon is blocked as well.

but after reviewing the options, I prefer 2. I'm not fond of "weapon-specific armour". It's distracting.

krogothe · Post by **krogothe** » 17 Jun 2006, 21:08

i dont care what you do, option 2 is still the best and you know it!

esteroth12 · Post by **esteroth12** » 17 Jun 2006, 23:22

option 1 if you give URC a light cannon mech...

As I currently see the energy weapons:

URC - Plasma&Fire
GD - Lasers&Ion
NI - Sonic&Lightning

so the shields would block enemy weapons... ie

URC - Lasers, Ion, Sonic, Lightning
GD - Plasma, Fire, Sonic, Lighning
NI - Plasma, Fire, Laser, Ion

but URC has no light cannon mech, and GD has both of their specialties

I think 3 would be neat but possibly lead to rps style. Hmm. I think option 1.

But GD would be the only side left with an unblockable main weapon...

true but that means that the plasma and laser weapons can become THAT much more powerfull. When your shields do fail... BOOM!
