You guys didn't seem to care about that when you made an Austin Powers player model.

nobody made an austin powers playermodel, linus made skin once
(and that has nothing to do with using copyrighted music....)

No matter. The concept is a huge attack uses different types of ordnance and fires them in a sequence. It'd be one of those "turn off friendly fire" type weapons.

huh?! 0.o
why did you quote my post?

I don't know, made my reply feel more direct or something.

but you didnt reply, you just wrote "no matter" and then something off-topic or was that the reply
thats confusing me, i mean, you start a topic (not thread), i reply and you write "no matter"

By "no matter" I meant that the theme didn't matter but the concept did. The theme was a Michael Jackson song, but the concept was a astronomically overcomplicated attack that used multiple ordances in a sequence.

ah, now i understand

Good. Is it really possible to have a weapon like that?

this weapon is not very unconventional, but how about a force water orb that shoots multiple water orbs like a shotgun and when it makes contact, it uses the Games Complex's tidalwave effect and damages people.
That would be crazy!!!

Hmm so many delicious Ideas. First might I reccomend the poison sword?
Poison Sword-Take a vibro blade and put some orange and brown on the edges, to make it look rusty. When hit by this weapon the victim is knocked down and takes little damage, but is slowly poisoined over time.

Force Lightning(Can't think of a good name)- A single lightning bolt which instantly kills whoever it hits but takes a while to load up.

Force Thunder- Orbital Strike But instead it is a barrage of lightning bolts which falls directly on the caster. Run towards an enemy command post cast it and then run away. Or maybe you should try the approach of standing still and sacrificing yourself for the greater good.

Lower Morale- A buff which lowers the firepower of nearby enemy units.

That poison sword sounds interesting, though I can't see easily how it can be done. Maybe not a .combo-controlled thing, but a sword model with grenade anims (or similar, see Bothan commando in Dark Times) that poisons the same way BFX's poison dart poisons.

Force Thunder also interests me, but I think it'd look a lot cooler with a single lighting bolt vaporizing you (if you stood still) and all those around you, rather than....thunder, which is sound and hence is invisible.

Come to that, though, an orbital strike with invisible ordance could be interesting - a field of enemies drops dead for no reason.

Lava gun. Shoots out molten rock.

Probably just a good old retexture.

Probably, unless you wanted it to stick to the person and give out smolder damage. Possible? I'll have to think about that one. Sticking = yes, smolder = yes, in the same weapon? I don't know.

Skyhammer made a dispensable CP for Dark Space.

I've made one too, since then. Perfectly possible, I quite like it.

I've given it some thought and...

An atomic bomb. It would consist of a light bloom and an invisible area effect buff that sets all units on fire and does gradual damage, then a slowed down shockwave that does the real damage and blows everything and everyone away. Then a mushroom cloud and an "irradiated" damage region that dissipates after a couple minutes.

I know that thunder is invisible, it's just that we already have force lightning.

Also what about a force heave earth. A large geonosis style spire sprouts up from target area. It would be useful for area control and pretty cool.
