Carrier Turret

Post by Warzone_Fan »

As its name suggests the turret will be a launching facilities for small drones that automatically attacks enemies in the assigned sensor,wide spectrum sensor,CB sensor,radar detector or commander.For commander units the carrier will stand still while the commander moves on the field,then when it reach on a target they attack by bombing it or shooting lasers that look like flashlight,but at an lower damage.

There should be two carrier kinds: one that carries bombs and other that carries guns.Using the same attacking system that VTOL(it launches with a certain amount of ammo and returns when it runs out).

The drones can be destroyed by firing Normal AA Weapons.

Every Carrier turret will have 8 drones already done when the unit is manufactured,and will recover lost drones only when repairing by a heavy turret or an repair station.The Drones do not receive XP for the kills but the unit that launched they.

This can be annoying,but a nice weapon.

If you guys have anything that you dont understand ask.

I have a question: What's the point? This doesn't do anything a VTOL can't do already. In fact, those drones behave exactly like a VTOL not assigned to a particular sensor.

Nice, next we're making VTOL that can carry my Dragon Dual Gauss Cannon

I've never use or make VTOLs before but it seems to me that VTOL transport already done that part, if you want firepower try VTOL railgun or scourge.

I strongly suggest you go into Skirmish and research as follows. No man should go without making vtols.
To get vtols you need: Fuel injection engine and pmod, cyborg factory and factory modules automated manufacturing, hover, and fuel injection mk2 and 3. then you need vtol facotry and landing pads.
