Can we introduce the Portative Tesla weapons?

Like Tesla, but portative, with yellow electric arc at short range.

When you fire, this will project in a 45° cone in the direction and can hit everything on range, and will "jump" to second and third target like the electric attack from Adv. Marauder. But... this can hit human and human building too.

This will be great for testing if there is an alien hidden near a door.

Need loading like Luci.

We can discuss about damages, and why not Adv. Marauder can't be hit with this.
If touch human building, this will be like EMP and inactive them for some seconds?

Just an idea... for dangerous weapon. (and bots shouldn't use them like Luci, near base)

Like Advanced Marauder, but can hit everything, so, need be used in safe condition by human.
We know humans and safety or security...

May be Advanced Tyrant can spit dart (like Adv Goon), but will explode at the impact and create a poison explosion (like Acid Tube)?

So, the Tyrant can be useful, at range.

And, if the the gas from acid tube (and theses darts) can extinguish flames, this can be useful to defend the Alien base too.

Just a fool idea.

A tank kind of alien with super high HP and that can destroy things that are far away from it preventing the alien from getting shot by the other team would make the game quite unbalanced. Just think about ATCS, now imagine a Tyrant with 450 or 500 HP that can shoot barbs to the enemy's base.

That would change the dynamics of the game.

it would be great to be able to have an electric arc! for humans! ha and for a Tyrant adv with a dart lance would be great (in any case he would be less worthless and useless in my eyes) :grin:

Somewhere we talked about a flying form for Aliens.

That already existed in the past, or at least in a specific mode on Tremulous. And believe me when I say it wasn't very fun, at least considering it could reach any point too easily.

Maybe it could be one of the last forms to become available, plus it should be relatively weak in comparisson to other classes to prevent from aliens killing h base without effort. It could be a form of a sentinel.
