Scion modifications and image and design and such tomfoolery

[sabrebattletank]

Ok. What we CAN do is design the new race (read: scions, it seems, was the consensus of this thread), it seems to me.

Discuss.

Name? Looks? Prototypes? Units?

Just nothing that could be construed as "story," like a history I would imagine.

[Mr X]

Not really, because everything about a new race is determined by its backstory.

[AHadley]

Mr X and I actually know very little about them ourselves as yet. We'll keep you posted though

[iron maiden]

but since the scions are the main characters in the game, should we design some new units for them?

[Mr X]

Oh yes, the scions are the main characters and we intend for there to be some isdf involvement,

so making new stuff for them should be fine.

[sabrebattletank]

Ok, fine. Go!

[iron maiden]

i actually have a recommendation for a new scion or ISDF rocket tank. it will be similar to a brawler, except equipped with shadower's that when locked on, fire two rockets instead of the default one. shadower's are devastating against light units and excellent for taking down heavier ones from afar[ i refer to FE mission Cloak of Deception.]

[Mr X]

Already been done, see rocket tanks

[iron maiden]

well then, perhaps we could add a long range weapon, keep the double shadower's, add an ion gun, and make it hover.

also, i'm thinking artillery might be a good idea.

[ScarleTomato]

develop the scimitar to work with ta5 and include it into the main build tree? That had to be one of my favorite FE units

[Nielk1]

Well, at least if you make something new and it doesn't suck even if it doesn't go in the CP it can go elsewhere, so I see this as a possible diversion for you all while things get sorted, one that MIGHT work with the CP.

[iron maiden]

what about if we made it possible to construct portals. build one after another so that a consecutive pair jumped you from one place to another. that would be awesome.

also thinking of a variation of a titan with the duel shadower idea and mortar

Ahem? We? Who's on the DLL list? That's who would be doing it.
And it will kill them.

[iron maiden]

well, you could use the transport DLL from FE and to get it going but i do agree building them and the whole consecutive building system would be a lot on them.

still think arillery should be a major part though.

Except that the transport DLL from FE was bugged, it only worked once, etc.

Why, exactly?
