| Summary | 0001433: DeBlober Concept/Ship | ||||
| Description | Based on the cockroach translocation effect. And the Sig " Time to roll out another ball of death" A Translocator Guardian: Permanently cloaked so requires a tachyon detector to unmask. No guns to speak of Ability to translocate/stun a % of the human blob within its range Mk1 20%, Mk2 30%, Mk3 40%, Mk4 50% Ideally it should attempt to get center of mass of a blob before triggering unless detected. Very slow reload time (60 sec) Low health Alternatively it could be a one-shot and self destruct This concept could become a type of Guard Post or AI EYE variation that launches these translocators if the player outnumbers the AI by 3 or 4 to 1. One of these could be created 50% of the time when the AI Eye is destroyed. | ||||

The problem with translocation (which is off the cockroaches now, by the way) is that it stirs up the ENTIRE AI planet when human ships are getting scattered about. De-blobbing is definitely of interest, but translocation makes for a lot of player frustration, which is why we're limiting that to just the experimentalist AI type at the moment. |

Ok, will have to look at what has recently arrived (LotS) before any other suggestion |
|
|
It could work like the EMP guardian - scattering defending ships. |
|
|
Hmm, that's an interesting twist to it... |

How about special MAW type units. Grab 50-100 fleet ships then immediately retreat to a random WH. Spawned only when the AI is outnumbered 3 or 4 to one. Could be a whole family of MAW types: Some would convert the "eaten" ships to zombies, Some could be vampiric gaining health from eaten ships, Some could replicate 1x after eating enough, Some could spawn micro maws (eat 1-5 ships) |
