:D i was playing around with ahtena and had a briliant idea
why not add the ability to build units to comms.

for every com level you gain the ability to build 1 new unit, so at lvl5 a con can build 5 different units on the spot

you select these units in the com setup page for the coms you will use in game

this idea came from the fact that car repairers nanolathe is a totaly usless module ingame for a com, since 5k in builders has 4x the builpower of a lvl5 com, this would give a point to puting cars nanolathe onto comms for the extra buildpower

you keep the hidden superbuildpower comm, cause you just use battlecomm or supportcomm and use cloaker instead of personal cloak.

I think it would be cool for support commander, remove the sniper and all other high range and high burst weapons and disable cloak.

YOU STOLE MY AVATAR!

quote: :P at the moment com build power is usless, so is com cloak(exceptions, dgun, sniper, jump assasin)

And cloaked rez with 5+ modules. Oppa klon-style dante rez and such. Now tell me that's useless? You also get to erect porc in seconds to protect itself.

tl:dr com buildpower is a fine thing to have.

Unfortunately for your case, "you can also do it with athena" doesn't invalidate my argument in any way.

However, some modules allowing creation of one unit each on a commander sounds like an interesting idea, i'll admit. Not the generic add-everything proposal, but actually "flea module - cost 300 - min level 2" or something. Also possibly very fun with tick/roach.

Emp pulse module! a dun-gun that make a large emp pulse (2x tck range, 2x tick damage)
self-d module! now com make 10x more boom when dies!
jetpack module! allowes flight for E (100 E/s) comboed with:
bomb module! com drops precision bombs, but unlike shadow, doesn't need to rearm
all-terrain module! allowes com to give less of a damn then ever!
and many more!
