Description
Sirius is a new heavy long range artillery unit for Laser general available at rank 3. Designates targets for orbital laser strikes.
Finally we know its name, cool
And speaking of long range artillery, is there any plan to reintroduce Tomahawk?
Yes.
Why so Sirius?
Ok ok I'm leaving...
There's a voice line with a pun (but not this one).
Gorgeous!
I ask you to remake the mammoth tank of the US boss, it looks very old and scary. Ah, the Sirius model is gorgeous.
Man, i was hoping it fired some overcharged beam, looking at the turret design. Sounds like a great unit nonetheless, though!
Was hoping for a beam cannon like unit.
Surely you can't be Sirius!
I am Sirius; and don't call me 'Shirley'.
Your work is really impressive
However, the turret, despite looking great, does not feel fitting for a target designator. It looks more like a particle cannon or something.
Well the marker has to be pretty intense for the satellite to pick it up among the noise from the planet.
Do you plan to make a technology branch of units + vehicles of the Chinese faction? Give them a choice of development like General Cybernetics & Superweapons.
We have many ideas, but we have to pick priorities as the ideas get more and more ambitious while the project team still consists of the same amount of people. Cannot confirm what's next at this point, as even Super Weapon paths are not completed. Whatever idea is most interesting and best for gameplay is usually worked on first.
You are gods in this direction, I thank you for such a titanic work, your type of thinking and approach to work is sympathetic.
Both cybernetic and superweapon generals had visual issues which are fixed with branches. Cybernetic had mixture of mech walkers and bug walkers/spiders units. It didnt look good, and branching solved this issue.
Superweapon had mixture of futuristic and conventional weapons in one, we didnt want to remove stuff, and we also could not add any more new stuff because it was all in one,branching solved issue.
We dont see similar issues with other generals. Diversity would be great, but it is huge task.
You are right, I did not think about these formalities. In any case, you are very good at this work, please send any work here, thanks.
great job guys . but I am thinking if you might add something like a small satellite dish in the back could it looks any better ? I dont know
Приветствую! Почему черный лотос не может захватывать главное здание и технологические центры? В первых генералах можно было захватывать все здания. Сделайте такую возможность. Спасибо и удачи!
Strategy and Propaganda Centers can be captured. Only Palace cannot be, as in the original game, because it is garrisonable.
Command Centers cannot be captured because in Contra they cannot be sold, are limited to one, have more health and are built slower, hence capturing a Command Center in 5 seconds with Lotus would be overpowered.
Buddy, how about updating the US drone model & laser general's medic vehicle? They are too old and very out of the general view. Also, it is desirable for the general theme of angel class robots to give walking air defense, instead of the usual avenger, this unit is very different against the general background of robots.
Yes, cyber AA rank3 unit will be created.
It's just the Athena Cannon from Red Alert 3.
Siriusly
******* awesome
When you order a lot of them to attack a target, every one of them will say "laser beam on the way" "have a nice day" or other lines when they successfully call for fire. (somehow a little noisy) Is that "Sirius...ly?"
