The Last Poster Wins! [v8]

[Sir Sivelos]

Good point. ...Perhaps some sort of DEE-like mechanism installed in the ships?

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

...We've already done that as well. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to move the whole fleet through.

[Ganyu]

"Needs better security. Ship unable to detect my presence."

[Sir Sivelos]

Yeah, that'd be good.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Are you sure? *Checks*...Hrm, give me a minute, I think it'll be an easy fix...*Presses a few buttons*...Just have to adjust this...And that...Hrm, I'll get someone to do that later, but that's just a small thing. The rest of us are just fine.

Thanks for the catch, though, that could become important...Do you have any ideas for Schematics? New units and vehicles and things and whatnot?

[Sir Sivelos]

Perhaps a Lightning Rod-esque troop? Somebody who attracts all attacks to it and tanks it like a champ?

[Sonic20]

That would be... not the best idea.

No matter how tanky you are, all these attacks together ARE going to take you down, easily, since you have very little means of dodging or preventing them if they are just attracted to you.

So the unit dies, fire still comes towards the rest.

[Ganyu]

"Well then, reverse the mana flow such that the opponent is damaged and one is healed," quipped the phantom. "It's been done in magic; technology should be easy."

[Sir Sivelos]

That's a good idea! I think..

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

A unit with that kind of ability is highly impractical or nigh-impossible to properly field, and I've tried, and hard. We'd need to invert mana flow for literally every attack in existence, but it can't do that for every attack in existence at once, or even just a lot of attacks at once. If that happens, it'll overload and explode...And if we want it to be of use, it has to be close to our other units so it can draw attacks away from them, and it'll HAVE to take a lot of attacks at once, so it's guarenteed to horribly explode and kill off our own units. And for that matter, I haven't found a way to find those absorptive qualities for every type of attack...Much less shove even half of them onto a unit manually-the few guys I found with those abilities naturally? They blew up...That is a really good idea, I cannot lie, but it can't be done...

...Well, unless it's a LOT bigger. Like, 'so big it's immobile' big. A kind of defensive building? I still have no idea how we'd do it from there...
