- Summary: TANKS
-
- To Michael Welch (couldnt get to your email address)
-
- I dont know if you're still doing scorched tanks but if so here are
- some ideas you can include if you want.
-
- NEW SHIELDS
- -----------
- Force Shield - Like a magnetic field but pushes to the left or right
- depending on the direction of the bullet (or the side it is compared to
- the tank with the shield.
-
- Diversion Field - Similar to detonator (works at range) but randomises
- the velocity of a bullet getting close to an tank with this shield.
-
- Chaos Reflector - like a deflection field but randomizes the velocity
- (add or subtract a random amount) of a bullet that hits the field.
-
- (I dont know about costs - just choose that after you've tested them a bit)
-
- --------
- New weapons (shells)
-
- SDI-Defense: Makes a spot like a cruiser mine but will shoot down 1
- approaching warhead with a super zappper like beam.
-
- EarthBlast - Detonates like a smartbomb but throws out 2-8 sctter shot
- like shells that make dirt-balls.
-
- Plaswall - like aa morph wall but made of plastic.
-
- SWap Posy - swaps you and an enemies tank position.
-
- Earthquake - randomly raises and lowers ground around in area.
-
- Volcanoe - Makes a volcanoe that spits out 3 scattered smart bombs and
- pours lava to left and right.
-
- Cruisermine pack - scatter shot of 2-6 cruise mines.
-
- Plasball - plastic cruball.
-
- Lavaball - lava cruiser. (nasty)
-
- Lucky Dip - any shot at all (like grab bag but worth 1750) - note grab
- bag should be worth 3000.
-
- Drain shot - Drains shield energy and gives a portion to you.
-
- Vampire shot - Drains shield or tank energy nd give a bigger portion to
- your shield or tank.
-
- Mega dirt ball - Very Very big dirt ball. (time warp size)
-
- Lightning Shot - like laser but over a wider area.
-
- Shadow shot - Passes through plastic or earth until reaches air again
- where it becomes normal again then explodes like a Big Shot
- (only becomes shadowy once)
-
- Copy shot - fires shot in other direction to the one you fired
- (reflected) and explodes yellow.
-
- Dimension shot - disappears for 1-3 turns at midflight to appear again.
-
- Multi-move, lets you move every turn for the next 5 turns.
-
-
- I think computer plyers should have to buy their weapons, give them more
- money though. not just get to do as many nukes etc as they like.
-
-
- If any of the above helps, then thats good.
-
- Keep up the good work, and congrats on you marriage last year.

- Seeya.
- Stu
-
- p.s. putting the parachute in the shield list and ordering the weapon
- list by price would be nice add.
