Default Re: Ideas for new weapons

quote:
A more modable weapon would be something that drops something on the map. Right now you can drop mines, but what if you could drop a lot of something an force your opponent to change their movement. Create a barrier that limits the number of enemy who can come at you at once or funnel them into a killing zone.

I was thinking about this the other day. What about a seeker weapon with a speed of zero? You could "fire" (really drop) unlimited mines. Of course, PD would kill them, but that would also make real missile attacks more likely to get through. I haven't tried it yet--no time for another two weeks or so. I think it'd be nice, though, to have a field of seekers with 600kt resistance sitting out there to use up my enemies PD. Now, if only you could make them invisible...
