Spring RTS Engine

Juno[radar and jammer buster] rocket flies too low, clipping the mountains. It is consequently nearly useless, and almost nobody uses it. Even in FFA where it would be useful for locating comms.

Does it currently fly as high as a nuke?

nope. flies very low.

Then +1. Nuke is sometimes tricky as well. Juno shouldnt be trickier, as it should see use on throne.

I think the reason why people don't use it is that it's quite expensive e drain.

and it's so expensive to build

If they were cheap annoying green explosions would rain down constantly everywhere :/

I guess significant cost cut with reload time nerf might work, and I suppose the effect can be changed

Making it lower cost will also make mines pretty useless, while the mines atm can be used in some basis.

mines should be useless

Keep cost- edit stockpile widget to only stockpile a few of them ( maybe 2-3) Because 100 is just a waste, and it loads really fast anyway.

well, in ba I find that people try to make entire minefields with mines, while i find that mines are more useful as anti-unit. For example, laying down a trail of mines in the path of on oncoming krog is a good counter. Mines would be more useful if there were more types for specific purposes, like in xta.


NEW IDEA: FLYING JUNO (i was dissapointed when this thread wasnt about a flying version of the Juno.)

i think price's fine. It's not supposed to be worthwhile unless you're busting some serious minefield or jammer.

Agreed.

Increase juno default damage to 10 to make juno spam a feasible late game tactic.

It would be the end of Speed Metal, and players would finally be forced to maintain proper build-spacing on their fusions and mohomakers.

And what exactly would that crap add to the game?

It's already part of the game just quite rare.

It would make killing nano farms possible with 25 juno rockets, now it takes 250.
I dont think its damage should be upped to 10.

I do

+1
