Why is everyone disregarding the fact, that i tried to explain with my picture?
@IceDreamer, how can you say from looking at the unit designs, that the Aeon bs is meant to fill the role of the Neptune? Neptune is not just an Anti t2 unit, it is also a pushing and rushing unit. And clearly the only role for the omen is to be a bs. It is called a bs. And experimental bs surely doesn't mean that it should take the place of the normal bs role, that is just nonsense. It is meant to be a special faction diverse unit! It is a unit that can deal with every unit except air, so how would the tempest fit in the role of normal bs???
Since the turrets of the omen shoot in low height, it is pretty bad at sieging down land structures, so the Torrent already has a role for that. Saying that SMS have the role of shore-bombardment is completly wrong. You can try to snipe some smd or other important structure with its tml, but it is not supposed to do that all the time, because the unit is very vulnerable and it's main purpose is to make nukes and get you more possible angles to nuke your opponent.
So experimenting with more DPS, more speed, smaller hitbox, more velocity wouldn't help the problem at all, it would only make it stronger against t2 and t1 units, and that is not the purpose of a bs. I explained it in my post, it inevitably needs more range, because everything else wouldn't help it at all for a fair balance in every aspect.
The purpose of the Tempest however is to fight every other unit.
I am willing for a compromise of a range increase to only 120. That way Cybran and Sera still have more, but Omen doesn't get completly fucked anymore.
