New Repair Drones or Structure? Thread - Tiberium Essence Fans

Now after playing ALL C&C games I have come to a conclusion that this whole repair drones isn't true to classic Command & Conquer. Before generals it was relatively accepted that you repair your tanks at a repair pad/depot. When Generals came around you repaired your stuff at the war factory. Also acceptable.
But, in C&C 3 you repair your tanks at the War Factory (Unlike other Tiberium Games) and you have little drones with a stick repairing you... Its pretty lame.

So here are my suggestions.
Create a Repair Pad like in the other C&C Tiberium games.
Create Repair Drones that actually fit in the game.
If it isn't possible to code a Repair Pad then a separate structure that has Repair Drones would suffice too.

I guess it was made to save space and money, some "top-players" (WTF?) said "repair bays are a waste of time and money", so it was decided to merge repair bays in the vehicle factories. So you have 1 structure for 2 purposes and you don't need to pay in order to repair vehicles.

You don't need to have the "Pay 4 Rep" part. Just something more true to original C&C.

Maybe new drones, but i think the structure is not needed. (a bit more future like cant harm)
Every time to go back to a base to repair... and then 1 by 1? no in the future there are drones that do the work for you then. (no matter what, a repair bay is nothing more then a high tech looking garage)

How far into the future is this? It doesn't seem long after Tiberian Sun, which had a repair pad.

Pretty much well said. Exactly the way which I thought. Nome new drones would be cool, but not really necessary.

Ok, you saw walkers, sonic tanks, giant stealth bubbles, cyborgs, extremaly smart and megalomaniac AIs, ion cannon sattelites, even more stalth things... IN 2017! Well, some of those even in 1995! And on 2030-2040 complaining about a little robot which fly around and repair some vehicles...

Tiberium = Money. You can boost researches and production with money.

Alright. What about a Mobile repair vehicle for Nod? (Excluding the Phantom since it has to deploy)
I'm thinking something along the lines that to repair a vehicle it would need to be a targeted ability.

New drones, but as Brunez said, the change is not necessary.

You know, the Phantom has to deploy in order to become a stealth generator, it has a couple of drones around it to repair units while it is in mobile status. The Phantom is 10 times better than the TS Repair Vehicle because it can repair more units at one time.

one thing that i will suggest, is letting the phantom repair while deployed.

That was the same suggestion I've posted some days ago.

i apologize that you took offence to that, as i meant it as a point of satyr towards the both of us. i was in a bad mood when i wrote that, so the humor was dark. i will be sure to not do this again.
now that i read over what i wrote again, i realize that there is no way that it can be taken as joke. i will also be sure to read over what i write in the future.

once again, i am very sorry.
