Dropship as a unit.

Post by ArmyofFire515 »

We all know the dropship from the campaign, put units in and it takes off to mission specific area.

But just thinking out loud here. what if the drop ship was available in multiplayer?

It wouldn't be built like you would a VTOL or cyborg dropship, instead you select it in the VTOL factory menu and instead of been built the progress bar is actually the amount of time left before it reaches your base.

When sending your dropship into the field you will not be able to land it at an enemy base because there would have to be an area clear of units or structures say about a 5 by 5 radius.

Just an Idea I would throw out there. dunno if its been done before.

There is already transporter capable of transporting tanks available in MP, at least in git.

Should point out I'm still somewhat new to Warzone 2100, I haven't come across this transport and I don't know what you mean by git ^^;

the transport(s) both cyborg and heavy are built at the vtol factory, after being researched. you will need to read the research docs to find out the quick path... but then its all , excuse the bad joke, down wind after that.
