Rock melter

Originally proposed by Stormy

Related ideas:

- Improved Bulldozer/Earthworker
- Advanced Terrain Modification

Description:

Special weapon (maybe mounted on a special unit) that can melt rocks and dirt


This is a bad idea, because:

- Melting sand would only make glass and that would give you very little traction.

This sounds like a vary bad idea, but I dont realy have much say in it.

A rock melter you seriously think they would use such a powerful thing as a non military device.  If you have the energy to melt a damn rock it would blow right through any tank or building.  Lava is melted rock takes alot of energy to melt rocks.  

I know if i had such a thing i would have blown some b****es away with it.

Skydock Command

Then why not make it have a military aplication?

Because we don't want super weapons.
If there is something that can blow everything with one shot, noone will build 'normal' weapons.

Skydock Command

But its a melee weapon right? Wont most of them be destroed before contact?
