Locking of large units.

The dragoon would only fall depending on if it was moving at the time if it was just standing it would just freeze like that.

As for air units yes they would fall, but that would kind of make for some sucky game play

 

Also if things were to collapse the Colossus wouldn't be able to get back up as its pretty much top heavy.
Imagine they changed lockdown to actually screw up the system for a while making the unit move uncontrollably which is what I'd expect to happen if something messed with anothers system but thats closer to emp.
Lock down is to bring a unit to a stand still, so I guess it cuts of transmission of whatever energy powers the mech which sends it into a type of sleep mode.

Also air units dropping wouldn't work gameplay wise as a whole army could get wasted by ghosts with lockdown if they chose to lock ships over a vally or something which leads me to say I hope they configure a scirpt which stops Vikings from going ground mode over such areas, meaning glitches.

 

I didn't even know emp took energy until 4 days ago... Maybe it takes away energy by sending some kinda waves thru the enemies mind causing him to lose concentration meaning they can't focus to do a cast. On mechs it would simply short circuit their energy source for whatever they cast.

Theres actually bombs now which can take out a whole city's electronics and disrupt communication signals/waves such as infra-red etc.

 

High templar- Woah, what the hell. I can't concentrate.
Ghost- Hahaha, I bet you didn't see that coming. How did you like that?
High templar- That was an inconvinience.
Ghost- Yes, I should say the same as I was cause in the blow.
High templar- Oh, my, how the tables have turned.
Ghost- What the? -Comes uncloaked-
High templar- Oh my, my, my.

 

I think the unit should freeze and energy waves should crackle through it. Maybe yellow electricity, or all lights on it go out and it becomes really dull.

Anyways, I tihnk the Lockdown should only stun the mech unit for a few seconds, but take away all energy and shield. Motherships and other Tier 4 units(which there are none of right now. Remember, BC and carrier could be locked in SC, and thor is currently smaller than the first Thor) will be stunned for a second. Then scrap EMP. Put it on the nomad for 200 energy or something like that, and problem solved. A non-massable unit has it for a high energy cost. No more OP EMP and no unbalancable LD.

Just a suggestion. Otherwise, I like Lord Kerwyn's idea

 

It should be one lockdown for all units. But I think there shouldn't be lockdown at all.

 

LordKerwyn's idea looks good to me.
