leech13 Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 i was just wondering what everybody thought about this for a new atreides superweapon(takes a RREEAALLLLYY long time to build and you can only have one out in the field at a time.)The Death-Hawk (imaginative...isnt it :))to sybolize legs it will be an advanced carryall.to sybolize the great eyesight of a hawk it will have a loSight as long as a scoutsit will be flying (obviously)it will have a sonic tank (air to ground only) weapon wil the same stats as the tank exept a *tiny*bit more powerfulit will have 4 missiles for air to air protectionJust wondering what you think of this and any comments you might haveHave a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech13 Posted April 25, 2002 Author Share Posted April 25, 2002 when i said a really long time to build i meant like 10 minutes real timewhen i said 4 missiles i meant ordos aa trooper missiles(or whatever the weakest kind is)i also for got to metion a HUGE pricetag of maybe 7000 spiceand you are just taking it out on me because you know that the ordos REALLY suck compaired with the atreides/fremen/ix combo ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneezer3 Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 a bit overpowered you say ?ken you frigin idiot.if you'd look at bit closer crazy you would have seen he din't say that in the first post.i also for got to metion a HUGE pricetag of maybe 7000 spicesee what i mean? :)anyway i don't much like his idea either. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 crazy, no swearing to other members.And about the idea:It sounds like that you whole army is at 1 place. And that makes you very vulnerable. A army of lighter vehicels but faster and the ability to scatter is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 then i could say: ordos eits damaga equal to the power of 80 elite devastaters, 300 bullets per second no reload 1 bullet is enough to kill con. yard.good vs al.build time 0,0004 seconds costs: 1 speed: 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999armor: 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999max in battlefield: infinity selfdestruct: entire base destroyed a weak design of the eits but its one.

jacobdouds Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Yes, to overpowered.But something I found in MODs. For some reason, things can not cost a lot of money and take a long time to build. You must choose one. And, you can not build anything over 10'000 dollars. For example you an have this.Cost = 2000BuildTime = 10000 but not the other way around.

firefly Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Back when people were tossing about new unit ideas, I had an idea for a new super weapon...plasma-yield deviceAs seen in 'Battle Born' by Dale Brown: a warhead which, when detonated, basically consumes everything in a set radius with no blast/overpressure and negligible radiation effects.Unlike the Death Hand, however, the PYD is delivered by a cruise missile (equivalent in speed and HP to an air drone) - which means it can be shot down by an alert player. If it makes it to its specified coordinates, however, it detonates in a silvery globe of a moment's duration; anything enveloped or touched by this globe (which has a diameter roughly equal to a Minotaraus' firing range) is simply gone.

Terror Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 hmm.... i liked the fremen idea best (seen in dune2 and dune2k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech13 Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 wow!:your superweapon was almost as bad as mine(no offense)it can get destroyed too easylyits blast radius isnt big enoughit can only destroy a couple things at a time like a dev and a couple inf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 it can get destroyed too easylyThat's intended as a balancing point... it is, after all, a cruise missile as opposed to a theater ballistic weapon like the Death Hand.its blast radius isnt big enough. it can only destroy a couple things at a time like a dev and a couple infWell, making the radius equal to a Minotaurus' fire range would've been overdoing it... as is, IIRC, it's on a par with the DH. And unlike a DH, whatever building(s) are caught inside the effect area are just no longer there... if your CY gets nuked, you can repair it, but the plasma bomb will obliterate it entirely!If aircraft actually crashed in the game (like they do in RA2), I would've given a shot-down cruise missile a chance of going off when it hits the ground...
