Maybe the controller could have that as an indicator light that it's using processing power to control the units.

As long as the 'spinup' is short enough for the AI to use it properly I don't mind. They seem to have a problem with weapons that charge.

As for another weapon, maybe something unconventional like a gas shotgun? It fires a few streams of some cool-ass blue corrosive gas at high velocity but it has high drag so it has limited range, and it starts rising once it reaches low speed.

Damnit, p3lb0x, respond to my idea! :D

The NovaMind Corporation specializes in heavy duty troops for zero atmosphere combat. Unfortunately our current line up only consists of the NovaMind light clone and assorted weaponry.



I dunno about you but a gas shotgun in a "zero atmosphere" environment sounds like a bad idea

Edit:

PROGRESS!

Many thanks to Grif for the sparkle magic btw

I LOVE this mod! just getting that out of the way. I was wondering. Why is P3lbox getting praise for making an obviously overpowered mod, while most anyone else gets flamed for it? This mod is good. The sprites are nice. and new weapons look spectacular. But you cant dodge the fact that its an Overpowered mod.

This is exactly why I have put such an insane price tag on everything. Because it's so overpowered. It wouldn't be the same if it wasn't though. In my backstory these guys are not supposed to be fighting random clones on the ground, but rather similar space suits and small space craft around a spacestation

To be fair, most of the obscenely overpowered mods have the same "BUT MY BACKSTORY MAKES IT OKAY!!!!!!!!! :( :( :(" argument.

At least this fits in with the vanilla content in art style for the most part.

It sounds like a rocket. In proper zero-atmosphere this would have a kick to it. Like a shotgun does.
Actually, I kinda like this idea.
Performs a lot like a flamer, but made for use in orbit or on planets with no or limited oxygen.
I think it fits the general feel of the faction.

Whoops, Morbo said "rising" and I read "disperse."
I'll go look this up, I don't want to put my foot in my mouth.

Regardless, both the physics are pretty open to interpretation in CC, and you're generally fighting on a planet with atmosphere.
Actually, that second point is rather better. It's pretty much assumable a planet with earth gravity has an atmosphere of some kind. Perhaps the range of the gas could be tied to that, as well as the kick from launching a cloud.
But while the weapon sounds fun, it's no longer very much like this faction.

Perhaps it's time to make more lunar/space maps... Kinda miss those.

I'm only on about one for planetary combat like what occurs in CC usually.
