Even more Long and updated list of unit ideas, plus some other stuff:

[JACKL]

sorry,that was supposed to say genuis and glow lime green,but it failed.

[Twi]

Whoa. Didn't realize it was quite that powerful.
But it can only move one unit at a time. And it shouldn't come that cheap. I came up with it largely for Wireless Relays: how else are you going to get power to those areas?

And how did you do that...oh.
Like this.
But how do you change the color? I mean, I put Color: Limegreen there. It still glows red.

[JACKL]

on the right of all the buttons there is a change color thingy.

and there should be a limit to haw may trips it can do,like 7 or something,then they self destruct.
or,recharge every 5ish trips like drones,but at less frequent intervals.say,15 packets per trip,no matter how long/short the trip.

[Twi]

Yeah, I used it.

But how do they have "trips"? They don't have a base, at least not as I thought of them. They don't require energy to move, either, as I thought of them. Expensive, but they need no energy to actually move.

EDIT: I suppose they could require fuel from ammo packets...

[JACKL]

like,drone trips i guess,but like,they could have a fuel gauge around them like odin city has,and when i needs fuel,it hovers until you click on odin city(or a fuel plant?) and enable{send fuel}

[UpperKEES]

But how is this fuel send when it is not connected to the network? I think it's better to let it refuel when connected. If it runs out of fuel during a flight you would have to reconnect to the ship to get it refuelled again.

[JACKL]

well,yes,you wouldn't be trying to send a reactor into creeper would you?

And it doesnt have to land,it could haover in place till it gets connected

[UpperKEES]

Hmmm, I guess the craft would often be used in the following cases:

- Evacuation of an area. I can imagine you have to move stuff over a mountain range/pool of creeper where no connection to the network is available. Hovering when connected is not even necessary. For example: a blaster that requested ammo can still receive this while flying in the air; it just can't request more. This ship would be able to do so.
- Building collectors/relays in advance, to be able to expand your network quickly. The combo of this craft in combination with the wireless relay looks very powerful!
- Grouping buildings to create the above proposed combined buildings.

The more I think about this, the more I want to use these units! It would greatly extend the number of ways to finish a map and offer the possibility to develop many different strategies. I guess balancing everything would be the hardest job.

[TheBuilder]

One thing ive thought, of.  would these be able to be use as floating connections that go over anything?

I mean think about it, floating connections that cost a lot, can be moved around, dont collect energy, or have long range

[Twi]

The ships? I never thought of using them that way... but why would you want to do that? If you wanted a connection to anywhere, you build two Wireless Relays, load one in a ship, and plop it down wherever.
And no, they don't make their own connections.

[Twi]

Edit to Fog of War idea: Being on a hill means you get more LOS, and being in a depression means you get less LOS.

[The smoking revolver]

LOS ??? ??? ???
what is that?

Evrything sounds good

there has to be new stuff in the expansion and this could be it.

heres one

Lighning tower: Very long range, fires blast of electricity in thin line, cuts through creep and long reload

[UpperKEES]

LOS = Line Of Sight

[Karsten75]

Lighning tower: Very long range, fires blast of electricity in thin line, cuts through creep and long reload

So how would this help? The creeper will almost immediately fill up a thin line in its mass. Would have been good if there was a "body" to hit, but that's not the case here.

[UpperKEES]

When it would not have a long reload time, but just is expensive to build or consumes a lot of energy, I could see a purpose for the lightning tower:

Put a few of them next to each other and let them fire in parallel. This would create a path through the Creeper. (Nickname: 'Mozes-tower' ;))
