deployables

[dark dragon]

this is something me and colonel noticed not very many ppl will expect turrets dropped into there base or Near there res path
uses this to your advantage or just be ready for it links to some pics of what i mean
spowell.org/uploads/contraption/2064522591.jpg turrets being dropped in shows how to use sort-of
spowell.org/uploads/contraption/940629663.jpg one of the uses of them
spowell.org/uploads/contraption/1451375695.jpgcolonels turrets also one of there uses
spowell.org/uploads/contraption/720686890.jpg colonels turrets again this is after he destroyed a base with them

dropping in things has many more uses like dropping in mines pic to come later and blockading the enemy from an important area like a damaged ship of yours that they want to attack or a damaged ship of theirs so they can't get to it and repare it (this means a ship with a super weapon on it not just regular ships ppl don't care about there regular ships ;D

p.s. sence you can't use wire grabbers these are drop in and leave no retrieving once the battle is won in fact the only way to get them back is to undo them also drop hints
---------------------
deployable uses
---------------------
MGs drop near areas where weak attacks are being sent or Near melon strike place for a cap

plasma drop Near bases or harvester points to do sever damage

snipers just for long range take outs

medic spammed drop near a damaged allied war mech aka you team members war maching or your own

cannon just for defense or to siege a well build wall

laser do not make its useless

torpedo (balist tank with 2 torpedo launchers) for res protection or blockading ships

flak cannons (if you can make a stable one) on small island on water maps to stop air for getting to your base place an MG or 2 to Gaurd it

mortar use as artillery (once again if you can make a stable one)

mines just take a small prop and place a mine on it use to blockade the enemy melons
----------------------
using the props shown on the pics the base of the turret should just be 480 nrg.
---------------------
also if you can think of any other use of deployables please tell.

Lazors would be good to attack spawnpoints with I guess... And MG is not a good choice if you ask me, a sniper could easy kill any number of static mg... tbh it could do so with all thats not snipers. I would say making a deployable with both a sniper and a cannon would be better, I will look into it.

Deployable is a great idea, sure I know about people been dropping melons often, but if there is made a thing like the r of adv duplicator on normal servers (a wire entity that spawns the duplicate using wire) maybe working a bit like barracks, deployables would be one of the best thing ever.

[dark dragon]

they are the best thing ever simple to make andeasy to use un like thoughs war machines that you have to keep an eye on these its drop in and forget.

[dark dragon]

the MGs are not for blocking areas like that they are for use agains ppl that spam light fighters just use some MGs and there quick easy defense (aka 2-4 mgs not just one and with medic or canon suport

pics to come as soon as i can get on the game reason for refrence .

[dark dragon]

in order from left to right turret base, cannnon turret, MG turret, plasma turret, mines. the 2 drop sship one covered by hp sign can hold one turret the other one can hold up to 4



4 plasma turrets droped in

I liked the idea as I said, and I have been trying to make some to. The problem for me is that I can not get satisfied by a small cheap and effective turret, so I always make one with big base and several melons (expensive, big and effective for several situations), which ends up in less space on dropship.

My turret is heavy at the base, making it almost always drop right side up (I once used wobbly transport, throwing them odd, making it 50/50, and sometimes actually dropped on the enemy sp, making it fall over when it falls off. Heavy base is best I would say, as it dont only gives more balance, but also when using lazors, is the enemys main target. This gives your lazors time to shoot back (unless its a case of xplosive bullets). I found a nice prop you can use as a transport for 2 turrets, which makes it possible to make them defend eachothers. this is good, as my turret got melons placed in bad positions, making it weak to melons close to it, but I like weaknesses, ecpesially if I can fix it if necessary.

[dark dragon]

can i see some pics or can you tell what props you are using

[feha]

Heh darkey, we fought like 1 hour ago, dont you remember? I even dropped it on one of your turrets XD. But sure, in the media thread soon enough I guess. Anyway I might be making a new design soon, as... well I dont know why, just funny I guess.

I also noticed a thing about your plasma turrets, and that is the fact that they have a tendendy to hit themself (not the base, themself i say) atleast when they are getting transported (like when you were atking the red sp on the chimney).

[dark dragon]

that because they where ment to stay out of enemy range wile in transport or atleast the light one that you saw

[retroactive]

This is a very interesting idea..I'm going to have some fun in singleplayer designing a dropship and some of my own turrets just to see how effective they are. Thanks for the tip.

[dark dragon]

one thing I notised with other ppls and my own deployables. ppl use plasma melons alot wile this is the best for killing a spawn point with them fighters/light fighters that can fly can't be attacked by them unless they are hit by flak.

[dark dragon]

new one

Missile turret a prop with 3 or 4 missiles on it with legs so it lands right use to reinforce an allie or place on low ground nere enemy base to shot at it othere things to use for are us

flak missile turret best on watter maps use to shoot down enemys on island maps and send there air into the water

both of these turret disigns will help with blockading an enemy or just causing heavy damage!

Heres an idea for a somewhat deployable.
You make a ship out of somthing and then you get a round phx plate and put lazors all around the rim facing outward and medics on the top. Then you connect the plate to the bottom of the ship with a hydralic or muscle, hover over a base and drop the plate. When your done you can pull it back up and move on.
