Description
New model for the Thug defense, nothing special, I decided to not overdo it since its only t1
That looks amazing good job :)
I like the idea of an MK2 heavy point defense and like usual, this looks great.
Been meaning to ask, can we get that Light mech from the UEF back? It is the Owens. I miss it.
hmm, well... it will take me about 5 minutes to get it back into the mod, but its so weak, so I could put it in tech 2, as an advanced mech?
Boast ts range and make it a sort of artillery then armor doesn't matter and/or make it have aa rockets. that would be good too
its always a shame to waste a good model
aw well, okay... I will put it back in the mod. But I have to catch it first...!!!

As you can see its a fast little fugger!
LOL!
You took out the Owens!? Monster!
I loved the Owens and I like the idea of it becoming a support mech.
We could use some sort of scout outpost/turret to increase the view range.
Your model looks fantastic as always, burnie. Keep up.
yes, Im going to add a perimeter monitoring system for UEF, same as the other factions hydro-carbon buildings.
Me and a friend had an idea that might be fun to look into.
When playing a game against a turtle sorian AI it started building artillery all over the place.
We got our ***** nuked to pieces after 5 mins the first tech 3 arty came online.
So we were thinking of maybe an anti-artillery building. like the anti-tactical missile tower.
Something that counters arty rounds? Dunno if its codable though :/
thats something I have thought about for a long time, but I would have to code the original projectiles to make defenses shoot them. Im not really a good coder, so I dont think I can make something like that yet. Im planning experimental shields though, they will help alot
I allready have a mod for that that adds experimental shields to each faction and even that gets overpowered eventually. even had 5 of them and they had 170000 shield power each i think. T3 arty goes straight through it
hmm, okay. I could make a minimod that tricks the AI into building a different defense instead of the T3 artillery. that way the AI will never build one. If you want something like that just pm me
My favorite race is Cybran and I was always distressed by the fact that Cybran shields are just underpowered. I've been searching for good shield mods for ages and it is time to share my experience with you.
I've only come across with 2 well working high tech shield mods: Supreme Shields and Square Shields.
Square Shields was made merely for fun but Supreme Shields actually acts as a t4 shield mod for every faction capable of stopping about 3-4 T3 artillery with ease but not enough to withstand an experimental (a Fatboy needs a little more time to penetrate the shield, however this feels okay considering it's much larger range) and the building itself takes a 4x4 place (like a t3 reactor) has about 6K health and a running cost of 3500 energy/sec and is vulnerable to bombing runs (big shield radius allows planes to fly in and drop bombs on it) and it has a strategic missile sized explosion upon destruction.
In my opinion it is still somewhat overpowered because a single one ultimately protects you from any tactical missile attack. Blackops has a nice mod that adds a t3 tactical missile silo but only for Aeon.
As of 2013 Supreme Shields is removed from FilePlanet, but for a limited time interval you can still find it on my personal FA mod collection at www.szabolcs.comuf.com
Ps: adding a shield to a building is not that difficult.
You just need to take a unit/building's .bp file and add the corresponding rows to let the game know it will be a shielded object.
Personal shields are complicated but I've already made a mod this way bubble-shielding non-UEF dropships. (The result needed some tweaking to shield radius but overall it was quite satisfying.)
Psps: stupid 5 minutes edit rule.
So when it comes to factories that should be upgradable to shielded versions you need to add a new unit with new ID that will be actually an exact copy of the original factory except the shield related rows. For flawless operation you should also make upgrade options for the shielded version making the following options available:
- revert back to the original version of the factory (less desired)
- upgrade to a higher tier factory
Speaking of all these stuff made me realise that this is an interesting issue and is worth implementing it.
