if you are gonna get rid of the Ra, then how about this,
a tank with two laser turrets that fire to penatrator beams, and it has a raingun on the side. It can be upgraded with a laser turret or missiles. If it sounds to imba, then scrap upgrade.

[Striker26]

no dont scrap the RA!!

thats my favorite unit!

how bout we go with pends idea!

[CPT.TIKER]

phoenix, I will, I'll do it, but at the moment I'm totally fead up with school, doing stuff for some of my friends and so on, but I'll get some time this weekend, where I'll do a bit of mapping and update that laser topic

I love the urban maps. It might have to be huge, but a 6-8 player map with large urban areas would be Fabu. something like Tournament city, but without the non-urban passes between bases. anyhow, thats my idea... If you map you're welcome to make anything you want.

yeah...
about the map
can u make 1 without any buildings?(execpt tech buildings)
i like big tank battles so Urban maps dont suit me very well

2 penatrator cannons in the front and a possible third penatrator(or other weapons)upgrade on top

along with that microwave crowd control weapon(part of the Less-Than-Lethal project or whatever you call that, don't remember).

Yeah! If I was in a mob being microwaved would make me want ot go home!!!

i think the Thing that fires back was a listening device mounted on the back of a HUMVEE and when every there was the sound of something firing(not firendly) it detects the location but it doesnt shoot back it just detect.
u no how in RA2 when the soviet V3 fired u could c it
i mean like when it is in the fog u cant c it but when it fires u could c it
maybe u could build a Humvee upgrade 2 do this(but u need a Humvee of course)

[Capt.Drake]

Ok, make sth for Laser, Ithink you got the right hand, but if you remove the Paladin you got me going mad!
The Changes you said didn't say so much to me, like ok, change it and I'll say later

[Phoenix911]

A detection system liek the one mentioned is pointless in remix or in any mod for the sage engin. A radar van, truck. plane and any unit capable ot seeing like that is doing that job/ I don't think there is a way of doing what u said.

more to the point WHY bother?

Let see radar van sits there scub moves up close u see scud u know where it is, you know the weapon it has. What else is there?
The engin itself is just too limeted when a ranger does all this for u already

Thats an interesting option... There are limits in the code ofcourse... Theres no way to cause a unit to target another object because it attacked... and I'm not even sure if theres a way to make a unit do a ping to reveal only units and not a large area.... I dunno... theres alot of petential, but I'm not sure about how it can be done.... The Sat-Hack1 is the closes code cousin, pulling sight off of unit types. there might be a possibilty of something based on that if it can be restricted to a range.

[Phoenix911]

If it ca be done then make the avengers (anti missile units) and other china and gla version available that ONLy detects stand off targets ie: scuds, nuke cannons and other long range artil, no rocket buggys or mota buggys and such.

or add the detection system of the weapons or type of units i said about to radar vans/trucks. and maybe add to avangers or such other units.

But aren't you mostly seeing long range artillery most times anyways? Sometimes you don't see it but not often.

A warning sound or counterbattery fire would nice too

thats very true. Only the longest range weapons can escape detection.

And so i would rather like counter battery fire, what would be unbalanced

And in the end it comes down to a warning like artillery incoming for me!

[Phoenix911]

All these ideas coming in at the moment are good but not neeed in general and imo it would be usless and only taking up space in the command windows or upgrade list or watever u put the skill unit power building or whatever.

U always see artil unless it has massive range but everyone has radar trucks and artil of there own, its just a mear plit second of ordering them to counter attack, imo in this game and on the sage engin such thing are worthless.

[Pendaelose]

Okay, here's an interesting vehicle for whatever faction since we're talking detection of long range units;

A few aspects of this are possible, but the engine is far less descriminating... theres no distinction between Tank and Artillery... The closest there is is Vehicle and Huge_Vehicle. and that covers everysingle mechanical unit from DirtBike to Berta. Also, theres no way to seperate units that are firing from those who are not... And theres no practical way to force a variety of units to group fire on a shared target anywhere on the map.... We are still bound by the confines of the engine! I can change apearances, and change weapons, and change balance, but I cannot change basic core behaviors of the game. I can only work with those limits.

While a staliteHack1 power could likely be attached to show all vehicles or large vehichles on the map, I don't think it would be very balanced... that kind of intel is escessive if maintaned for more than a few seconds.

[Capt.Drake]

I would like more warning sounds that's all I need!

[Phoenix911]

no units are lost when u gain a new tech level it only unlocks more opsions units/vehicals and such simple. but u can still build all units and buildings during that u did before u upgraded tech.
