I need Ideas!
I have made three so far:
Image


And I have more ideas, Here are some of them:
*Dreadnought cage:
Image

*Pit Bunker:
Image


Dreadnought cage, Basically, you place a Dreadnought, Then a Dreadnought cage over the top to protect it. Therefore making a stationary dreadnought turret with incredible armour. I HAVE Tried this, and it works to perfection.
Pit Bunker, One person lies in the left where there is just enough space to shoot out of, while the other, (Optional) Stands in the other end guarding the guy in the left.

Give me ideas, And I will try to make them for you all.

Personally, I really like the style the first bunker is sprited. It looks like you made it look like light was shining in the window, creating shadow. If you make more, I think they should be in the same spriting style.

I have a confession to make.


I didn't sprite the lighting.
That was a scavenge from the really old test bunkers.

Well, I think it goes fabulously with the bunker.

That makes two of us.

I'll start making the Dreadnought Bunker now.

looks cool!
Might I suggest a sniper bunker? just like the dreadnought bunker but with a smaller opening and on a stilt (although the stilt is useless since you can place bunker pieces anywhere) or something?

I also love the background, Doesn't seem to need changing to me.
Maybe you could make the inside out of a stronger material so that casings don't rape it so much? That is my main hate point on bunker bits and such they are eaten by casings!

B23?

I can think Of another reason why to amp up the strength though.
So actors don't rape the ♥♥♥♥ out of it when they walk on it.
I'll fixy soon.


EDIT
I made my own background lighting on the pit bunker, I never knew it was so goddamn easy!

You should have done the cage for the stationary mg turret.

I'd suggest making the dreadnought cage hollow and metal plated.
We need more cool modules though, sweet work.

Geti:
Thanks, and the hollow cage seems good, added. Needs more work though.
Roast:
Yeah, but they are more glitchy, I think, and whenever they turn they... Move.

New version in the op.

Perhaps a artillery pit. Would be useful when your using a grenade launcher with amped up range.

Make a large hangar with space for at least one dropship and one rocket dock, as well as enough room for them to offload their cargo safely, and ideally with internal or external defensive emplacement and large doors or a silo (also with doors), big enough for dropships too.

Here's a terrible representation of what I'm talking about.
Blue is docks, orange is doors, red is some form of defensive emplacement. The main doors would slide rather than swing so they don't hit any craft, and they'd do this pretty fast ideally. They should be pretty resistant to damage.
The dropship docks have platforms beneath them with room for actors to drop down at the sides, as well as bunkers on the inner side to defend against anything dropping through the top.
The exit doors at the bottom also have bunkers above them.
There could be a partition between the dropship dock and the rocket dock using an extra set of doors including some where those gaps are to let infantry through, meaning that if the dropship dock is compromised the rocket dock may still be usable.
In the red parts there could be some form of anti-air emplacement with an appropriately modelled hard shelter for them. Maybe some form of dome that can be manually opened?
Also there are bunkers next to the red bits. Possibly add towers at the far ends of the top side?

There could be asymmetrical versions for building into cliff-sides, with defensive emplacements all down one side.

This.

I guess many people wanted a functional hangar/rocket silo, but the vanilla ones are a bit... useless? Or un-working (need the correct word here)?

And it would be something like that, basically, big enough to load/unload troops without killing them with the engines and to maneuver without destroying everything.

A hybrid door/bunker slit. When no friendly soldiers are near the slit door closes and when a soldier is near it opens and he can fire through it.

I second spider 101. Seems straight forward enough, and it'd be unique. I mean, I've never seen one of those...
