land turbolasers
« on: April 19, 2009, 09:07 pm »

a land-based turbolaser would be buildable for all factions, and would serve as a land-to-space weapon. iwas reading the essential guide to weapons and technology, and it said the turbolasers were planetery defense systems, and fired into space.  this would add to the game as another LTS (land to space)  weapon.  the rebs have an ion cannon, which only does sheild damage and shuts down hardpoints.  the Empire only has the hypervelocity cannon, which is innacurate against smaller ships.  so if both had these, the rebs could do more damae, and the impire would be able to desrtoy smaller corvettes and frigates.

I say no. Because in eaw they are anti vehicle units and dont need any improwments. (But they should be movable so player can move them like buildings.

Hypervelocity and Ion are more than enough.

I like Argonnath's idea; giving the turbolaser adaptable placement would be fantastic!

imagine how hard it would be to take out a turbolaser without an AT-AT

not a very good idea. (if the turbolase does not cost 10,000 Credits)

Impractical and would oddly balance out the LTS weapons. Both factions have their drawbacks with them and their advantages. Best not screw that up.

There will probably be a re-do of defences for V2, if not earlier.

So says Chris, end.
