joslein Posted July 25, 2000 Share Posted July 25, 2000 If Westwood made another Dune game what air units should be in it? Also should they be controllable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunekune Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I think it would be best if u could control air units but I also like the dune2 ornis that just went and attacked everything, but it would be better if you could choose targets. Speaking of dune2, on 1 of da ordos missions it talked about fremen and it said that with some perswersion that they could maybe join the ordos but after that it wasn't mentioned at all, whats up wit dat.

joslein Posted July 26, 2000 Author Share Posted July 26, 2000 I hope they are controllable like the Mig in Red Alert. They should have like a Light Ornithopter that is armed with a Lasgun and can shoot at other aircraft, tanks and be able to scout the map. A medium Ornithopter armed with battle field support rockets and a Heavy ornithopter that can carry troops around. I hated in Dune 2k when you would choose an airstrike and by the time the Ornithopters come to the airstrike location the tanks could have moved.

joslein Posted July 26, 2000 Author Share Posted July 26, 2000 I played Dune 2 at my friends house. I usually just play as the Atreides or Ordos since they are the best sides. I cant really remember any Ordos missione with the Fremen in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Air units I thin would be good additions:1) Troop transports2) Light Ornithopters-Built in a hanger, no armenents or shields. Used for scouting. Easily destroyed. Can have projectile weapons added to it for more money.3) Medium Ornithopter-Built in a hanger with weapons or shields upgrade. Expensive.4) Heavey Ornithopter-Built in hanger with both shields and weapons. Most expensive unit in dune. Can only fire when shields are droped, shields fall for about 1 sec for one lasgun shot, which is equal to 1 hit from current dune2k atreides airstrike. Takes 3 misiles to be destroyed when shield is down. Virtually indestructable when shield is up. Ornithopters can engage each other, but if a lasgun hits a shield, both will be destroyed along with a random area surrounding them, from the size of one trooper to 3/4 of the map in use. In battles where both sides have ornithopters, you can give command of the land troops to your second in command (AI) and take over the ornithopter. You then are placed in the cock pit and fly the orni in the dogfight. You must lower shields before fireing any weapon. Any projectile weapons fired will rebound of the shield back at you and any lasguns fired will cause the holtzman effect. After the dog fight is over, you can either stay in the ornithopter and attack from the air, or return to standard RTS battle screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joslein Posted July 28, 2000 Author Share Posted July 28, 2000 Good idea with the dogfighting. But why not have light Ornithopters with Lasguns but not shields because that might make them slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahdi Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Read carefully, you can upgrade to have just shields, just lasguns, or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 About the Dune 2 fremen, the "persuasion" the ordos mentat was talking about is deviator gas! Remember it works on infantry as well in Dune 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infantryman17 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I think that instead of making an ornithpther personell carierer, the must allow the carry-alls to carry soldiers around,like the chinook in redalert. Further, Make the ornithopther fire guided missiles instead of those lame 500lb bombs, thats old news nowadays. Meebie sum kinda heavy ornithopter bomber who can drop those 500lb,s :P That would be more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
