New idea:
type "-buy x", where "x" is the item name and you can have any item you want to buy parachuted to your base 5 minutes later for 10% more gold than the normal purchase price. And put whatever you need to type to buy the item like this in the item's tooltips.
I'm tired of dying 10 times in a row when i'm 1/10 of a second away from buying the frost lazer i need.
If I can parachute a bomb into an enemy base, then why can't I get my much needed frost lazer from middle parachuted to me for a little bit of extra gold? There is so much high-tech and supernatural awesome stuff in battle tanks but are we are all still dying from walking to bob's gun's shop for a weapon! :o
If you like this idea but think of something better than please leave a coment with your vote.
Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?

I voted no because i like it being an advantage for people who control all cps and attack base.
I am so good that I don't even need to type -rc because I never die !

the adavtage is still there, but a little diffrent
maybe make it like
-buy x y
(like the icons are handled in the editor)
e.g. -buy 1 1 for machine gun

If you adapt it, then 10 % is really too low :p

i rather like th idea. allows for late game players to not fall behind due to the lack of ability to get the more powerful centre wepons. although if everyone would check out my New ideas for wepons topic or even there own ideas a new shop in base would also be like with some (like middle) super powerful wepons not as good as frost laser but somewhere around 15-20k wepons doing 1500 odd dps

This could help, but if item sharing is disable people could just stand around in the base and steal it. This would lead to a lot of pissed off people, and wouldn't work out. Otherwise, it's a sound idea, but don't you think 5 minutes is a bit long? If you're at the point you're trying to buy a frost laser, and you can't, the game could be over in 5 minutes. Also, the price increase would have to be perfectly balanced before it's implemented.
You may notice that some of my posts are somewhat disconnected in their ideas and don't really flow that well. That's because my mind drifts around like a jellyfish in a strong ocean current. You just lost the game.

If you cannot reach the center shop once after trying for 5mins the game is over anyway.
The other option, stalling for 5mins while you uber item arrives would also seem an exercise in fuility.
It seems like there would be very little point in getting this command, and even if it were implemented it would be suicide for anyone to actually use it.
There are currently two ways to get to the shop that is guarded besides the obvious suicide run/ team push.
1: teleport in (partially countered by tp breakers), but even then you may be able to teleport reasonably close and walk the last bit
2: Smoke machine your way in, this one is countered by radar detection items
As long as you have teammates, you should be able to get in via distractions against other cp's or team tactics - if you are by yourself the game is already over - as soon as you leave you base they just come in and level it.
