Thopy thopters

[ThopterFanatic]

Hello! Just signed on yesterday. Anyway, I was wondering; on a scale of 1 to 10, how useful do you think the Atriedes ornithopter is?

[nemafakei]

1 being the worst unit in the game, 10 being the best...

4-6, depending on the style of play of the opponent, and the general situation.

[Guest Sardaukar11]

OK ornithopters are useful if you use them in numbors an airstrike is devastating but it also dpends on the situation too.

[quoudam72]

Where you use them and how you use them. I'll give them a rating of say 7.

[ThopterFanatic]

Well, it looks some people aren't completely zoned out of these boards.

[exatreide]

It also depends on the enemy. the harks can handel a airstrike prety well. but the ordos can't. they have weak aa.

[thomas]

I give them a 6-8 6 for providing cover for my sarduakar as I demolish the hark base, and 8 for taking out ordos defenses before my fremen move in.

[alphabeta4000]

so many things to consider

[nemafakei]

They can be brilliant, they can be useless. It all depends on the situation. Helipads should cost less, though.

[thomas]

thopers should be free with a 1000 solaris helipad or not with a 300 solaris pad.

[exatreide]

There should be some kind of kamikazi thopter. since they all get shot down the easliy. Sounds like a nice ordos unit.

[thomas]

the eye in the sky but faster and looks like a green atreides thopter?

[exatreide]

or some kind of cloking ablity. that make you only visbul to defensive turets and when your fireing

[thomas]

yeah that would be cool

[alphabeta4000]

I have a vision of the no thopter (no ship with new name)

[thomas]

cool.

[daniel]

or thopters with lasguns would be pretty kewl eh?
