why dont you give the tank a minelayer weapon instead of the taunt ? its allready got a bomb so why not give it a mine ? 3 mines can be layed at once before cooldown, sounds good to me

that might be a good idea cause the taunt is absolutely useless

that is incorrect. The taunts functon is to keep your enemies in combat mode until it runs out, which prevents players in pirate mode to go to orbit.

And since players in this game rarily go 1 on 1, but just resort to ganging, this makes taunt absolutely useless in practice. ;)

OH OH OH i got an idea

chang the taunt with a weapon like an extremly long range gun. longer rang than sniper blaster. but it does REALLY low damage and has slow cooldown time.

i just thaught since its a tank and tanks in the real world have massive cannons and arent just for deffence this would give the tank more reilistic proportys XD

Doesn't make sense, its true, real tanks do have massive cannons, but low damage? i don't think so.

But think if the tank already has a high damage weapon(aggrobomb) then why have another high damage weapon. Or make the taunt do damage like thermoblast

Then i think that the "massive" cannon should be changed into a small cannon due to it dealing low damage.

It should become available in gemini, name being Artillery Blaster, and the Gemini one would do maximum 3/4ths damage on the lowest rank rocketeer, and
have a 5minute cooldown. It would shoot a large rocket, maybe 1/8 the width of the gemini tank, getting bigger with higher levels, and it would be flaming a different color for each system, like red (not orange, RED) for gemini, blue or green for mizar, and the same for sol. maybe black for draconis. It would not be an area of effect (AOE), because that would be too powerful. It would have a very long range, but should be just slow enough to be dodgeable by a smart player. (I like the color idea, cause it would look really cool)

If this is added, don't warp the communities ideas on how it will be and make it horrible or too fair, and for fates sake don't make it members only

Mmm idea sounds fun, but can't happen, adding a cannon to tank makes it more powerful than storm, staff are trying to make them equal but in different ways.

Someone said you can taunt players, but you can't, works on mantises only. And why would you tell a mantis : come over here?, bit stupid cz if u come close to mantis it will keep following you till it's dead.

Best replacement is:
Instead of taunt put a heater
A tank guy clicks on heater, he throws a red cannonball, and the opponent player/mantis starts to have trouble shooting, eg: shot avenger, it will lose for some time power to aim scramb, a marauder, it will lose power to shield, cause heater damaged its system and needs to be cool down

If shot a player: storm: if that storm shot blaster but got hit by a heater, when a player click 1 it will probably thermoblast, or shoot rocket and if nothing available but blaster, blaster will freeze

if an opponent already got shields up let's say, heater will disrupt it, making it useless, and powerless, but just for some time, like if a tank shot some1 with heated shields, he will get through shields 1/5 shots

Ofcourse, for preventing abuse of this, heater can be made every 1min (long time to reload) and it takes effect on player/mantis for 5 sec

I kinda like the taunt, i normally use it in 1v1's when the other player is about to run so the other player doesnt escape to orbit.

Tyrannous how about, heater can also disable orbit flying, at least till you finish the guys off

Plus a player can't really run away, if he ab'ed you can ab too and he aint gonna go far .. taunt not worth it.. just to buy it to make people not leave orbit...

Ok for draconis (since SS hasn't started it yet) why not make a new item for the tank that replaces the taunt. Could be fun. But I see one problem. If you change the taunt you have to change one item on all the other ships too. But the other 3 are great as it is. Exept maby the stunner with it's aggrobeacon. But the beacon is still nice to ancore off of lol. Well SS you decide you guys got total say in this. :frown: :confused: :frown:
