Goody ideas

[yeager]

I think allowing boats on transports would be hilarious, say a 1 sub on a t1 and a destroyer or 2 subs on t2 transports, I don't have the means of making this currently, but if anyone's board, here's something to try.
Other ideas:
Give hover a stealth mode: -10e per hover unit and a giant speed reduction while active, say 1.5 - 2 speed
Forecast idea: this would bring a new level to supreme commander In a big way, a weather generator that had different effects such as:
Heavy rain: reduced vision
Lighting storm: similar to jammer crystals, can cousr fake readings on radar
Mud: reduced speed to walkers and tracked units
Gravity zones: gravity becomes to heavy, slowing hover or making then incapable of traversing the water
Solar flare: large emp ( can be detected ahead of time)
Heat wave: reduces regen greatly
Magnetic field flux: causes shields and stealth fields to become more unreliable
Unsuitable- atmosphere: reduces speed of planes, make flak super deadly
Sea captain's nightmare : rough waves cause subs to be inaccurate, and force surface ships to move slower and hae reduced underwater vision
Virus zones: the future is a deadly place, if acus wander here they are likely to get Bacteria in their suits, which will likely kill the driver.
These are just some ideas I make the game more fun, tell me what you think
I think the weather idea would be freakin awesome for GW

Don't wish to sound like a stick-in-the-mud, I'm all for trying wacky things some of the time here, but... This is SupCom, not Red Alert :/

By all means mod them, could be great fun for some people, but I don't see any chance whatsoever of these making it into the primary FAF game.

1. Sorry, haven't played red alert
2. I defiantly don't want them in the main game, but it would be amusing/ awesome as a mod
And the weather conditions would be interesting on GW, but should still be optional

ACU cockpits are sealed to the atomic level, nothing can get in without opening the hatch.
In the story campaign at one point a ACU cockpit was breached,

Spoiler: show

that allowed a Aeon princess to brainwash the pilot

Thx, forgot about that, probably would have to take that out I guess

a mod doesn't have to respect the game's lore. ACU no-go zones could be fun actually.

Forecast idea: this would bring a new level to supreme commander In a big way, a weather generator that had different effects such as:
First part:
Heavy rain: reduced vision but also cloak and stealth
Lighting storm: can couse fake readings on radar and have impact on laser based weaponry
Mud: reduced speed to walkers and tracked units
Wind: afecting the speed of units (depending on their mass), effecting the acuracy of missles and shots, does not impact on laser
Fog and Dust storms: dont show up on same maps, reduce vision, possible friendly fire
Sea Ice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_ice effects smaller naval and hover units on water, just flows with uniform velocity or is pushed by the wind, can be destroyed, comes out of nowhere and goes to it
Ice Shelf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_shelf effects heavy naval units, can build on it, comes out of nowhere and goes to it, moves very slowly with uniform velocity, can be destroyed from the outside layer by layer to the middle or by nuke
Iceberg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg on visual looks small but with sonar looks big, can be destroyed, effects naval units
---------------------
Second part:
Gravity zones: gravity becomes to heavy, slowing hover or making then incapable of traversing the water
Solar flare: large emp ( can be detected ahead of time), meaning can cause energy problems like the real flare does
Heat wave: reduces regen greatly
Magnetic field flux: causes shields and stealth fields to become more unreliable
Unsuitable- atmosphere: reduces speed of planes, make flak super deadly
Sea captain's nightmare : rough waves cause subs to be inaccurate, and force surface ships to move slower and have reduced underwater vision

Quoted text is updated so read it.
This can go two ways also. One way can be the more realistic aproach where you use physical conditions that don't screw the core game but only enhance level of impact that normal faf has, meaning it deepens the meaning position on the map and terrain. That would be the first part. The second one would be more on SF side (meaning not that probable in real world) or just very very similar to Sins of the Solar Empire where the position of units on the map can do this or that to them.

There are a lot of real world situations that can be used to spice the game, and here are some of them:
