Commander - New Upgrade Systems

I thought of a new upgrade. seeing as I own 7000 points, I thought a few new systems would work well. The three new upgrades are:

Economy Upgrade: 2000M; Requires Engineer or Support Com. Chassis; +10M and +50E produced by the commander; increases explosion radius to smaller than a Singularity Reactor; increased blast radius damage; 1 upgrade only


Shield Density Amplifier: 100M; Strike or Siege Chassis; Disallows enemy units from entering the shielded area; adds second bar on shield; prerequisite: Personal Shield; 1 upgrade only; Can't create area shield; will not link with normal shield network

Shield Generator: 250M; Strike or Siege Chassis; Triples shield generation rate; energy cost x4; 1 upgrade only; prerequisite: Personal Shield; No area shield upgrades; will not accept shields from other shield generators

If anyone has any other ideas, post them here.

this will not executed:
the devs will see a solar collector and a wind generator.
I remember my old e-cell was a tiny Version of your Vision.

sounds good.

Unlocks have been removed, you no longer need points to unlock any modules.

The e-cell has intentionally been removed. Economy should be in its own structures and raidable. Free metal income also doesn't fit zk's ideology.

This is a completely new mechanic. You would have to prove it makes for a lot of interesting gameplay, it'll be hard to go through with something like this. How is it different from newton on repel?

Personal shields seem to vary a lot with other units as well, so I wouldn't mind another one for the commander. You would want it to behave like any other shield though, so it has to link. High regeneration is very similar to autorepair which will probably be the main critique here.

Sorry for all the criticism. Realistically it's very hard to make a proposition that gets into the game, but this doesn't mean you shouldn't try! Easiest would be proposals for redesigns of units that are currently in need of a rework, for example funnelweb.

I actually think a commander AA gun has a place in the game. Maybe not a screamer, but a hacksaw or razor maybe?

It'd stop some RPS where you happen to be a factory with the wrong type of AA. It hurts a lot to need to build cobras against a planes first start.

Hence the 2000 Metal cost, and a limit of one. I want this to be a stalemate breaker upgrade. the +10 metal gen would help when both sides are dug in worse than the trenches of World War One, with both sides having equal economies.

A star chisel could end a stalemate, but that is 40k metal, which would be ridiculous to make.

Ot just replace commanders with unique armed and wheeled(/tracker/winged/whatevered) factory...
FTW.
