| + | ===== Overview ===== | ||
| + | * Uses 3 power. | ||
| + | * Launches sturdy and effective TCMs (Tactical Creeper Missiles). | ||
| + | * TCMs deal bonus damage to air units. | ||
| + | * TCMs can 1 shot most ground targets, having a base damage of 4. | ||
| + | * Damage is Area of Effect based with a very noticeable radius. | ||
| + | * Releases 800 Creeper on successfully landing. | ||
| + | * 2 minute initial delay. | ||
| + | * 30 second launch interval. | ||
| + | * TCMs have limited turning abilities and can miss evasive units easily. | ||
| + | * TCMs are destroyed on shield contact. | ||
| + | * Can target specific location provided by the user or the nearest unit (including fliers and is the only way for the TCML to target fliers). | ||
| + | * Has no deconstruction time. You press DESTROY or use the DESTROY hotkey (while unpaused) and it is done. | ||
| + | * Can be placed on uneven terrain and void. | ||
| + | * Very effective in groups. | ||

| Always remember that the TCM is moderately armored, it can take plenty of hits before being destroyed but it is by no means able to withstand heavy fire. Where small volleys of Spores, Blobs, and or Skimmers can't go, the TCM probably can as it is not only much more sturdy but also very fast, minimizing how long it takes fire before landing at the intended target. | Always remember that the TCM is moderately armored, it can take plenty of hits before being destroyed but it is by no means able to withstand heavy fire.

| By far the biggest challenge TCMLs face is shields as the TCMs will face plant into the shield and instantly detonate and due to the premature detonation, all the Creeper is vaporized by the contained payload and that same premature detonation wasn't executed effectively, | By far the biggest challenge TCMLs face is shields as the TCMs will face plant into the shield and instantly detonate and due to the premature detonation, all the Creeper is vaporized by the contained payload and that same premature detonation wasn't executed effectively, | ||

| Spores can also body slam themselves into shields to overload their shield generation system, causing the shield to collapse and the generator to require system maintenance which for the basic shield unit, is a system restart that is predictable in duration and consistent (although quite short).\\ | Spores can also body slam themselves into shields to overload their shield generation system, causing the shield to collapse and the generator to require system maintenance which for the basic shield unit, is a system restart that is predictable in duration and consistent (although quite short).\\ | ||
| Totems, although curiously well crafted, so well in fact they sometimes get buried but are still perfectly functional, hold the same weakness as traditional shields when their shield is up. A single spore can hit the shield and overload the generator, although in the case of Totems, their generator does not overload but overworks and eats the supply it uses to maintain the shield, requiring additional supply to be sent to the Totem for reactivation as after the spore hits, the generator would have consumed too much supply (which under normal operation is so small it basically does not consume any while normally active) to maintain the shield. It is of great priority to take out the connection(s) to the now deactivated Totem in this state as to ensure it stays deactivated for there is no other means of keeping it inactive. Also be aware that Totems overwork and drain ammo, not overload, so their shields can remain active for a short time after a single spore hit before collapsing, this can be very annoying so it may be better to take out the connection to the Totem(s) such as with Blobs, then the shield itself. | Totems, although curiously well crafted, so well in fact they sometimes get buried but are still perfectly functional, hold the same weakness as traditional shields when their shield is up.

| Now, you most certainly have -10% knowledge of what is an Inertial Pulse Explosive, so allow me to enlighten you. Inertial Pulse Explosives, IPEs, release a massive impulse force upon detonation which is highly efficient in transferring kinetical motion energy to nearby matter, so rather than energy being lost in processes such as thermal dynamics, electro magnetic forces, so on so on, almost all the energy released by an IPE causes surrounding matter to be forced into motion. An explosive can do this but is more of a byproduct of other processes like thermal dynamics as surrounding matter is super heated by the energy released by a traditional explosive, causing the matter to enter motion in phase change such as a gas, much like in the Mushroom Clouds of Fission Bombs (Traditional Nukes), this makes this highly inefficient and requires a massive megaton warhead like a Fission Bomb to knock over imbedded structures, such as trees, with ease. An IPE can tare a sky scrapper from its foundation and launch it 20 Meters, problem is the range of an IPE is EXTREMLY SMALL so a small portion of that sky scrapper will actually by launched, and additionally, | Now, you most certainly have -10% knowledge of what is an Inertial Pulse Explosive, so allow me to enlighten you.

| This makes IPEs very effective against flying things, just because they don't have a surface(s) to prevent motion. Fliers hit by an IPE typically get torn to shreds as the shear impulse force turns the structural integrity into saw dust and launches that dust at hundreds of meters per second give or take. This makes the TCM 300% more deadly against fliers just because they are off the ground and not in contact with a surface, and most importantly, | This makes IPEs very effective against flying things, just because they don't have a surface(s) to prevent motion.

THIS MAKES THE TCM HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY IN HITTING EVASIVE FLIERS! ALTHOUGH A REPOSITIONING AI IS PRESSENT TO TRY AND LINE UP THE MISSILE FOR GOOD APPROCHES, EVASIVE FLIERS WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM DODGING THE LIMITED TURNING SPEED OF THE TCM! |
