    this is meant to increase the fun factor, which is really what it's all about. balancing is hardly an issue, as the matrix warp would only be able to target stationary units.

    of course, i thought that was obvious. what i mean is that if the units aren't stationary, then they'll be able to get out of the net before they get that much damage at all. you all know how little damage the lasers do at lvl 1.

    I do like the idea of it being able to move slowly, you can just imagine it landing (I picture the landing as being similar to that of the Phase Prism when it is made to produce the Pylon Power source, where it would point upwards and the back of it would basically open up) and slowly hovering and spinning just above the ground, slowly being able to move around your base. I think that the range should be slightly decreased but made slightly more powerful to compensate for that. However, I definitely do not like the idea of 2 or 3 stacking up to create one turret. I doubt that players will make too many Warp Rays, probably around 1-3 or something, so it's best that they can become turrets independently.

    heh Species 8472 was the coolest thing to happen to StarTrek Voyager, too bad Janeway had to mess things up ;\

    i agree, they were very cool, but back to topic, anyone here seen enterprise: in the mirror, darkly, there is a very good display of this warp ray abilty by the athosians

    i know, but there are both athosians in star trek and stargate, the stargate athosians were once a high-tech race but got culled by the wraith, the star trek athosians have triangeled ships that can create a laser web

    uh... so what should the specifics be? it's gotta be nerfed in some way to keep it from being too strong

    i do not like the web idea,

    but i always did like the prism towers in RED ALERT and when you had a ton of them together, one would shoot a beam of light to another, which shot to another and that to another then the last one finally fired at the target with all of their combined energy ANIHILATING IT!!!
    i loved that and wish SC had something like it, the more units the more powerful
    sounded similar


    i thought, maybe the Zerg, since they are all about swarming, the more lings you have, the slightly higher their attack (of course not large jumps and it would have a ceiling)
