The Syckle still looks underwhelming: It costs $2000, yet has 150 Hit-points of "light" armour, and can't attack structures.

At least allow it to carry a single solider like the Quickshifter.

It really should auto curtain when in critical condition too, as it'll be too tedious to use efficiently otherwise.

 

Edit: Make it immune to mind control & poison? (It'll help against Epsilon better as a stolen tech from Epsilon)

it can't carry a soldier because it already has a second weapon on deploy function.

[Damfoos]

Wait a second. I thought the price tag of $2000 on ALL the stolen units was an oversight, do they all really cost that much?

[CLAlstar]

Yup. They are stolen techs after all.

[lovalmidas]

They steal your monies efficiently.

[yunru the gundealer]

They steal your monies efficiently.

but they look damn awesome doing it

I don't know if this thread is perfect for this, or if this sort of suggestion would be considered, but what about some modifications in the Catastrophe's presentation?

 

Here are the ideas I've got about this and which could be developped for this new background:

 

-The Confederation sent technical experts to Russia in order search for a ideas for a heavy tank design producible more easily than the Tesla Cruisers.

-Confederates develop it starting from the Apocalypse Tanks from the Russians, scaled down to a mass-producible model.

-But these tanks aren't over by the time of the initial phase of the war (Act I).

-However, it also gave the Confederates the oportunity to adapt to the Catastrophe reverse-enginereed/scavenged Multipurpose Combat Support systems from Allies vehicles in order to create a truly unstoppable combat vehicle.

Here's another thought out of the ball park: I'm just swinging with this one.

You know how Foehn gets an expensive barracks because of expensive / high-tech troops?

What if Scorpion Cell got inexpensive War Factories because of inexpensive / low-tech tanks?

Was thinking the War Factory could look a little something like this being a 3x3 structure and costing $1500.

The "expensive barracks" is just a theory, not confirmed.

[Jargalhurts]

It would be nice to know how intentional was the naming parallel between Battle Tortoise and War Turtle.

I'm not proud of it.
