The AT-ATs blasters could range from a heavy blast or some light blasts, depending on what the commander wanted and I was thinking maybe it could be like the T4-Bs special ability where it would change from a heavy blast to light blasts.
The AT-ATs blaster canon specs are right here:
The MS-1 fire-linked heavy laser cannon was a powerful laser cannon variant employed by All Terrain Armored Transports. The weapon was mounted in a dual-barrel configuration on the AT-ATs, and could fire in a "one-two punch" pattern or simultaneously; with both of those settings seen in action at the Battle of Hoth. The MS-1 fire-linked heavy laser cannon's firepower could also be altered from the command section by the pilots, ranging from light bolts to a devastating beam that could destroy most ground-based targets.

Approved
-will have lighter cannon for use against infantry
-not sure how it will be implemented yet.

makes sense, you're right about the multiple weapon types; just look at the head, its got more than just chin cannon.

Exacly, the AT-AT has multiple weapons, not just one.

I think at the very least the AT-AT should get a light anti-personnel blaster to eliminate the missile squads that are the bane of AT-ATs.

But what about my original suggestion?

the switch weapons ability makes sense i guess, but we have to be careful not to make them uber.

I agree. still it's kind of hard not to. After all they were kind of like the strongest land unit in Star Wars so they start out uber it's just how much more so we make them.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #7 on:** November 26, 2008, 01:04 pm »

Yes, stronger but not uber like the ZC. I like this Idea.

Sterling01 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 26, 2008, 04:06 pm »

Yessss! This is a historical moment. But for the AT-ATs like super blast for its main cannon has to be strong, but not super strong, something inbetween.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #9 on:** November 26, 2008, 04:16 pm »

Yes, that makes sense. Sterling, this is your best idea yet!

Sterling01 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 26, 2008, 04:19 pm »

Yes i know, isn't it exciting!!

I actually wanted this in for awhile, just kept forgetting, and thinking that someone already posted it. But the super blast should maybe have a little area of effect damge since they were pretty inaccurate.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #11 on:** November 26, 2008, 04:21 pm »

Yes, maybe 5 game meters?

Sterling01 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 26, 2008, 04:51 pm »

Sounds good to me, its the amount of damage that it does thats going to be tricky.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #13 on:** November 26, 2008, 08:08 pm »

3 hit kill on infantry, and 5 on armour?

Stop worrying about the specifics; this is the community requests, not community ideas on *how* we should code it

V2 is intended to include an overhaul in existing units and game style as well as new content anyway, so I believe this is on the list regardless.

AT-ATs are underpowered and mis-respresented in the weaponry area we know.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #15 on:** November 26, 2008, 08:27 pm »

So, it is going to be changed?

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #16 on:** November 26, 2008, 08:28 pm »

It's the existing plan methinks, so *yes*.

For V2, as that's the land release.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #17 on:** November 26, 2008, 08:28 pm »

Good. Well, I guess it's decided, unless the other staff members disagree.

Zeta1127 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 26, 2008, 08:34 pm »

I agree that it was kind of obvious that the armament of many things was under represented.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #19 on:** November 26, 2008, 08:37 pm »

Good, so I guess were done here.
