ARRRRRR!
I have been thinking...... If there are cliffs or things that look like cliffs in OP2 and OP3 why not use them to our advantage! Why not have a modified guard post be built into the cliff face and have it be camouflaged like the cliff it is attached to!
Statistical possibilities:
All:
Defensive Post:
HP: 620
Armor: Heavy
FP: 1 Gun: all types
SFP: camouflaged, and increased protection due to the fact that it is built into the cliff face.
AFP: +10% weapons damage when connected to a CC via a tube
Speed: Immobile
Common Ore: Your choice
Rare Ore: Your choice
3rd Ore: Not yet implemented
Power: 10
Colonists: None
Good:
A. Provides a suprising form of defense
B. Udetectable when idle (except by the player that biult it and their allies.
C. It's armed!
D. More HP due to the fact that it's implemented into the cliff face (less to shoot)
E. (possible) Uses IR scanners so that it doesn't emit visible light (so you don't know it's there, I mean it would be pretty odd seeing a light emission without a source)
F.Can use any form of weaponry
G. Uses radar reflective materials to keep hidden from sattilites
Bad:
A. Difficult to access (only can be accessed from the square directly down the cliff)
B. Easy to descover if connected by a tube
C. Can be spotted by it's weapons fire
D. Long construction time
E. Must be at least 4 spaces apart (cliff might become weak and collapse due to the lack of structural support)
Ok. In order to prevent friendly fire on the turret all by allied players, allied players will see the turret under the camouflage with it's owners color. Also it will show up on their sat. map.
Hey...... Why not have a hidden defense so you can suprise them and do the most damage! Also it would be difficult to spam due to the number of cliffs.
