well before pr all the laser gen had that was related to lasers was a laser turret, col burton i think and a laser tank

this would mean a laser based moab

a bomber swooping over and delivering a quick pulsar of laser energy to devestate the target area with hyper charged ions like the gdi ion cannon but it's just the fact that their ion cannon is a satellite and the moab isn't dropped by a satellite

[Karlos Vandango]

nahh thats impossible with 1 gun what you should have is a moab with that ion missle explosion

hehe check my avatar

no he didn't have the laser burton, just the turret, the tank, and a cheaper avenger.

laser bomb? huh? sounds weird!

btw VG the laser pathfinder still has the sound of a rifle shot but it fires laser.

Working on fixing that.

what do you think about a lightning tank for the Super Weapons General?

[Jsmooth13]

Like star wars lightning?

[Vanguard]

Lightning is possible, but not like in EAW smooth, it can't branch off to multiple units like that, but it can damage multiple units, just wont change sizes when it does.

aaaaa the mighty emperor and his force lightning and that corrupt ability...

yea lighting based weapons would be good

(although this idea was discarded)
lightining cannons/guns etc remind me of my idea for sonic energy rifles for super weapon gen

[FireBlade]

it wouldnt need to branch off...i was thinking more like a single bolt hitting a single tank or person, it would do little damage to the tank itself but it would like disable it for a lil bit and if perhaps upgraded kill the crew inside, infantry would certanly enjoy the shocking new tank

but i would make it innacurate, like if you aim at one tank it might hit a different tank, unless there is only one tank, also an anti conductive armor would be usefull so they cant hurt themselves

[sath]

yeah
the lightning tank attacks the farmer in the field all to no avail since his mud crusted wellies for once actually saved his life whereas the poor cattle didn't stop and think about putting on their wellies and fried

You'll be happy to know, I'm definitely not serious about that one.

IF a lightning tank were put into the game, I could see it doing well against infantry. Killing them instantly.

Against tanks or other vehicles, however, the worst that would happen would be some fried computer controlled curcits, and a very fried paint job. Lightning that hits a vehicle traveling down the road, will experience a skin effect. That is, the lightning will travel along the outside portions of a vehicle, through to the bottom of the vehicle arching to the ground. And/or the steel belted tires (or tank tracks) to the ground.

With that in mind, I could see a suggestion of some sort of EMP effect to simulate the effects of fried curcits, temporarily immobilizing the vehicles in the game. But, I can't see any major amounts of damage being applied against the hit points of (the health of) the tank or vehicle.

[sath]

you seriously didn't think that they would have low grade farmer equipment in a fight with guns and high tech gizmos did you? ????????

well some tanks are made of ultra hard substances like ceremic mixed in with the tank design making them almost impentrable Vs armour piercers and the like

if anything an electric tank would do damage similar to anthrax to balance it out but then again the usa microwave tank is anti infantry...

[FireBlade]

im simply sugesting a lightning tank for the SWG, replace the micro for her with that, that way she would have better infantry defenses...
