A new type of turret

Post by dylanb » Sat Dec 03, 2011 11:19 am

Heres mah idea:

Add a special turret, call it whatever you want.
When it is first deployed, it does nothing.
Then you open enter mode and go into it and something like this opens:

From here you can pretty much tell what to do.
You give it a weapon to use and colonists to operate it.
You need to repair semi-often or it could explode and kill the colonists inside, reducing your reputation.
These take up four grid square on a planet.
Press the upgrade button and a dialog will open asking "Are you sure you want to upgrade *TURRET* to *LEVEL* for *PRICE*?
Press the repair button and a dialog will open asking "Are you sure you want to repair *TURRET* for *PRICE*?"
Press the collect button and it will be put in your inventory.

That's about it. Pretty self explanatory.

I hope you consider adding this. I think it will be tons of fun.

i like ur idea but it would be a massive pain in the donkey to have to go through every single one and check on them to check their strength and people are just generally lazy.

Still like it though :) very creative

Very good idea, although its a bit to complex for the means of simple redefending. Perhaps if you could customize turrets and reproduce those specific ones you create, now that would be nice. That way you dont have to go around changing settings. Also though, Lasers do 200 base damage, thats extremely high for their firing speed, I dont see why anyone would want to change the current weapon with a space weapon that is currently in the game. Toonces needs to add more things, not allow for customization of what is already in game. Just ad more stuff, Y'know?

In simpler words (if I'm right) it's just a custom turret.
