One Transport, many ACU

Postby BushMaster » 04 Jul 2016, 05:10

Allow player to put their acu onto a transport and give it to a teamate so they can also put their acu on the transport and repeat; or some equivalent mechanism. This is much needed game-play mechanic. We all at some point have wanted the entire game to hinge on a single interceptor finding a trans with 4 acus. It would also make multi com drops 999999% better. If needed you can add confirmation menu so that you don't accidentally give trans'ed acu to teammate, this way everything is legit.

Well, why not get some of those tractor beams from the Aeon Galactic Colossus and make them target friendly units.
This way a Transporter can "tractorbeam" a friendly ACU on board without changing ownerstate of the ACU.

Maybe we should add a NUKE-suicide weapon to the transporter. Just to be sure.

Nooo, ownership of ACU isnt transfered, only of trans. And it makes more sense to gift trans with acu attached, otherwise the person with trans or acu could just spam an order to put com on trans creating a pop-up confirmation for the other play constantly, which is not cool. As for the tractor bean, trans alraedy use them, so eos.

The default within the game is for units loaded to belong to the owner of the transport. Hence, giving a loaded transport also gives the units inside. So giving a transport with a loaded ACU would give the ACU - you would loose your ACU, and either end in defeat, or the game engine would completely break down. That is why the game doesn't allow giving them.
