New Tank: Trooptransporter

[Cdek]

A new Tank with the main abillities to spawn and support creeps.
I thought of a passive abillity healing creeps in range. The ultimate could be creating a powerful tower that only attacks players.

[GooglyBoogly]

seems to almost be a copy of the ghost tank.
Ghost tank already has a passive ultimate that heals creeps in range, and spawns creeps.

[Bobguydude]

Yeah, it does sound like an almost exact clone of the ghost tank, but you have to admin that's a pretty cool model. Maybe that could be used for something in the distant future that none of us will live to see...

[WerWulf]

cool model but i must admitt it does sound like the ghost tank.

[horselance]

Model looks ok. But it needs unique abilities to bring something new to BT.

[Dr.McNinja]

If total map size was no obsatcle, i would suggest having it as an alternative to the ghost tank model with the option to use either, but identical otherwise.

If you really want to include the model, it could be a unit and not a tank, perhaps spawned from the.. i forgot the exact name, its the building that spawns special creep such as pushers and fancy stuff. It could also function like the repair bot unit (forgot name as well). Could have a heal aura or single use 'unload troops' when near a lot of enemies or under attack.

[Cdek]

What about this abilities:
- Create a small factory that spawns 2 or three units every X seconds, the factory doesn't heal but isn't time limited.
- aura that increases HP (only for creeps) and gives x% of the gold creeps get for killing
- Ultimate: create 4 powerful units with an armor increasing aura (marine) and 2 powerful units with an attack increasing aura (flamethrower)

[the truth]

Here's a really crazy idea! What if the trooptransporter is flying and is given the regular transportation ability. So it can carry allied creeps and drop them somewhere or maybe even an allied tank!

[Cdek]

I don't like the flying, but the transportation ability is a good idea. the transporter can have an ability forcing creeps to get in it. when the transporter drops them, his owner controlls this creeps.

[Tom-Ace]

Why not make it a portable factory tank that can spawn 5 different kinds of troops, and each skill is a different class of spawn and every upgrade have it spawn more.

[IlPalazzo]

An idea to make the Trooptransporter an end-game support tank. Thoughts?

I like the spirit link ability a lot... BUT i can see creeps inadvertedly draining the hp of nearby tanks.. A form of griefing?

The rendezvous seems to overpower all the other ultimates... perhaps allow enemy tanks to teleport to it too? Marked by a smoke effect on the ground and blinking light.
Or make the entire effect and 'cast animation' invisble so the enemy wont know of the 'rendezvous point' until an enemy tank is near, no detection required. From then on, enemy tanks can tp in there.
The teleport could be made longer to the rendezvous also, like 5 seconds or something.
It could give everyone a max speed boost and possibly *evasion* but is sent on an unstoppable path to the rendezvous point.. that would fit in with the 'theme'.

No, i havent thought of the problems that could come out of my suggestions. Thats for you to do.

I think IlPalazzo's ideas are great, but it should be imbossible to create a rendezvous point in the enimies' base.

[mechbot9971]

A new Tank with the main abillities to spawn and support creeps.
I thought of a passive abillity healing creeps in range. The ultimate could be creating a powerful tower that only attacks players.

I think that tank would be bad ass and very usefull, like the guard? just this one has spells like troop comand and stuff
but the tower that attacks only heros? lil bit like the tinker tower with a death magic in it lol
but you would need to work out the spells and cost of the it. but im sure this tank would make in the game

[Cdek]

I made this BTNs for the tank:

[WerWulf]

I think IlPalazzo's ideas are great, but it should be imbossible to create a rendezvous point in the enimies' base.

seconded however o dont think it should be able to be used inside the lat line of towers before the base, there is nothing worse than not being able to even leave you base because they keep telporting striaght to your doorstep

[Cdek]

I did this BTNs because I didn't like the others

[ChronicStoned]

the second images are better =)
