How about a IPAMM (inter-planet anti-matter missile) base that charges for a while, and when launched the missile strikes into the Creeper and effectively owns the Creeper, but takes forever to make one? or somewhere near forever.

This does not "kill all," it has the power of a mortar amplified just a few times. This isn't Thor, or the Dark Beam, just a slight advantage. Keep in mind the maps may be larger, and the amounts of creeper may be larger. |

this could also be something that made mission ahead easier... say you can't build it 'on-the-surface', but when launched from your ship gives you a temporary respite, maybe so that you could get through those massive creeper waves that supposedly took over planets in cw1 (what you were fleeing from). might be a cool mechanic, a sort of 'race' to get stuff before the creeper comes back from titan emitters. EDIT: it could also easily be worked into the story. In-fact, i might use it  |

Exactly...
There will likely be an orbital weapon like this for just this purpose. I may also allow the orbital ship to carry a small sqaud of pre built units.

How will all this work with custom maps and fairly keeping score?

the orbital ship and such will probably be determined per-map.

- Planetary orbit obtained. Target designation; Hope. -
- Orbital laser array fully charged and in position; firing. -
- Dropping garrisoned units. Dropping command nodes. -
- Foothold established, procceding with mission. -

How about a temporary connection generator?
If your blasters are in a pool of Creeper, and gets overwhelmed from the rear, you can move a connection generator and keep them connected before they die. Or if there is a wave of Creeper coming from the North and you have to move a blaster quickly but can't without building another collector, then you have a solution. The connection distance could be maybe as long as a collector?
The cost might be somewhere in between a collector and relay.

Hmm....I wonder if this unit is the Nullifier. It's not a Terrap, since there's one right next to it in the second picture from this week's blog, and since it has an ammo bar, it's most likely a weapon. Since it's not visible in any other picture, it seems most likely that it's the nullifier.  |

Two suggestions
1. A flak gun. Fires 10 shots that are scattered around where it aimed. Each pellet will have a small explosion. Fires at the most optimal place in its meduim range.
2. LRMWSSM (Long Rang Multiple Warhead Surface to Surface Missile) A Bertha cannon sized base that fires missiles every 10 seconds. Hits randomly with 5 explosions in a user selected area the size of an unupgraded CW1 mortar's range. Weapon range is the whole map.

So there is a nearby shell, and there is a smoke ring that is just starting to expand over the Mortar. |

Can't wait for CW3. I loved the way cw1 was set out and the concept of CW3. This is going to be cool |

Ah, that makes sense! No wonder I couldn't find it in any other pictures.
Any chance that we'll get to see the nullifier in action at some point?
