UEF ACU: teleport + shield upgrade pls?

Postby Shai--Hulud » 07 Sep 2019, 14:24

Hi,

the uef acu teleport upgrade is useless. literally. There is absolutely nothing you can do with it. It us super expensive and gets nothing done. Why is it still in the game? MIght make more sense to teleport the acu if the shield upgrade can be upgraded too. How come this doesn't seem to be an option?

Cybran: Teleport and laser = risky and "offensive"
UEF: Teleport and shield = risky and "defensive" - suits the uef rahter well, dont you think?

While I agree the UEF teleport is really only suited for memes/stealth tml base, I don't think even giving it shield + teleport would be all that useful. It is a shame, though, that only seraphim and cybran can teleport offensively, where as with aeon and UEF, the most offensive thing you can do is build a stealth field and make a proxy. On the other hand, this game doesnt need more cancer scenarios like a paragon getting tele-mazered.

You could re-arrange the upgrades such that teleporter is the third stage of the shield upgrade. Since teleport is so expensive I doubt that people would mind paying for shields first. The ACUs still wouldn't have the same kind of firepower as Mazer or Splash ACUs so I don't think it breaks the game. It would just even things out a bit.

That’s what OP was saying.

OP only said that it should be possible to obtain both upgrades. He did not suggest a mechanic for making that happen.

You could also move either the teleporter or shield upgrade to an arm. Or add a fourth upgrade slot to the ACUs.

I thought I was contributing to the conversation by suggesting, from a technical standpoint, a simple way to bring about what OP is suggesting.
