My name is Zachary Young, my friends call me Zach, but those in the internet know me as Zeke.
*wonders if anyone here even knows what it is*
For those who don't, it's the GLA Stinger Site replacement I made for the alpha version of GenX. Apparently I named it the Harpoon Missile System, although I never managed to add the strings for it.
In the alpha it was basically an OP missile battery that shoots a ton of missiles at artillery range, allowing the GLA to make a pretty solid defense with minimal effort. After replaying the alpha I deemed it absolutely disgusting, and sought to "balance" it a bit by making it "weaker" during the early game.
It now only shoots 4 missiles at normal defense range, and is protected by 3 angry bobs. After you purchase the Buggy Ammo upgrade it gets 8 missiles and its artillery range back, you can also improve the angry bobs by getting the AK upgrade for them.
The reason I picked angry bobs as guards, is to give the GLA a more evil feel, using untrained militia to maintain their defences, and also because I noticed I don't usually get the Arm The Mob and Buggy Ammo upgrade, and this will give me more reason to do so.
That's a great idea. I also never bother with angry mobs and buggies on the odd day I play GLA, but this gives good incentive to make the most out of your upgrades.
Reminds me of an idea I had way back where instead of Stinger Soldiers inside the site it's 3 Max Scrap Quad Cannons parked inside... I should get to it at some point, but never had my projects needed it.
3 quad cannons might be too big, but having just their turrets there would make a cool GLA style shredder turret
