Insane stunners map?

[TECHNO 1]

You might be asking, "How are we going to fight off 3 stunners per second?" Two answers:

Lots of energy for the player (however some may not like this as building becomes easier, and/or other reasons)

But the answer i'm looking at is; Custom ships. I have a ship called Discharge Coil (in the ship browser it's called DSCH.COIL) and i'm excited to make good use out of it. If you want i can make a stunner map (probably going to be crap though).

If you want to know more about the discharge coil ship...

Spoiler

- It can shoot at almost full fire rate, forever
- 4 of them can hold down a stunner spawner that launches 2 stunners per second

First thing first, you should also ask chat questions you have. MUCH faster response time [if anyone is on] 
Second thing: 
If they don't start with the DSCH.COIL the map becomes impossible, as you get spammed by the stunners. 
also, FOUR can fight 2 st/se?  [st = stunner, se = seconds] 
1 = 1/2 st/se 
SIX = 3 st/se. 
And then if you spread for many angles... or the player has to keep spiraling around to get keys with PRPL before they can attack middle... it gets more complicated as you need more of that ship.

1 - To be honest, i didn't even know there was a chat.
2 - That's why there is an initial delay you can put on stunners, so the player has time to prepare. Just give the stunner some defense so the player can't just immediately lathe it with the HQ, (later you can build more ships to get past the defense) and bada-bing bada-boom. (though there's probably something i'm missing)
3 - Yeah, 2 discharge coils can handle 1 stunner/sec. If you want i can make a showcase map
4 - That's very true, but if i spread out the stunners anyway i would of noticed that problem in testing.

Posting is much more reliable than the chat, and allows others to read the answer. The CW3 boards have accumulated years worth of answers, accessible by a quick search.

It is worth taking the time to make a good map, rather than quickly building something to illustrate your latest idea. I speak from experience. A rush job can take the idea down with it. A good map can help iron out any flaws in the idea.

You heard him folks!

Seriously though, I hope you do well.

That would be something like this -> http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=25435

With PRPL a lot is possible but the with standard options and settings in the Editor you can make all sorts of setups.
I started with learning the options in the Editor and went from there.

Good luck with your future Projects :)
