Defenses + Anti-Defenses

[Trensicourt]

There should be different types of defenses in my opinion. Things start to get dull after a while.

New Resource to build some of those walls and perhaps other defenses. It is called stone and can be mined from walls anywhere. In order to find stone with in larger quantities you need to find large deposits of stone. They should be in the color of grey.

Special Abilities:

Raider

Laser Guided Missile: Used by raiders to destroy a powerful fortification, unfortunately it requires a line of sight to be fired. When activated, an area will be marked for destruction. The player must kill or disable the user before the missiles reaches target. It is useless after a 1 time use and cannot be picked up(would be unbalanced if true).

Colonists

Distress Beacon: Used by colonists to contact nearby ships for assistance. Assistance can in form of allied soldiers with 150 health and R-4 Charge Rifles, Resources and etc.

trenches too

[Samaruto]

Holo-Walls - the giving the feeling of more space for the room and spend light, but consume energy.

But back to topic:
Different walls  with different HP are not necessary if it stands for now. Raiders going for the weakest part of the defense. If you leave a hole in your wall they will run for it around the whole map. Some explosive there and BOOOM! Raiders gone....
Maybe in a later version they will go for the walls if its the shorter way. 

[Trensicourt]

Maybe not a shortest way. Maybe what they consider the safest or most tactical way? They won't rush for anything that will leave them open to enemy fire for a long time or surrounded by lots of enemies.

[parkourwalrus]

Yeah, it should be a tactical decision. I mean, raiders should go to the weakest part if it makes sense, but if it's a killbox or funnel they should just use breaching charges to get inside your base

[palandus]

That's the thing though. Raiders will sometimes ignore an opening and instead attack a wall and cause a breach that way, to avoid a killzone EVEN if the opening is like 10 squares away. Happened to me on numerous occasions.

[Trensicourt]

A great idea, breaching charges, or anti-armor rpgs that can break walls.

[Untrustedlife]

shields of different tech levels for people?
Would have a chance to block an attack that would have hit, but slows down the person immensly?

[Coenmcj]

It would be rather interesting to see new defenses, however I believe the raiders may need a do over before then. More often then not they either absolutely destroy you or you make a mockery of them by leading them all into a killbox.

[Trensicourt]

I'm going to add a anti-defense weapons. Then we will burn some bad ass walls.

Late game, you always make a mockery of them. They need to be able to destroy your defenses effectively.
Though not in an overpowererd way, rockets,cannons i believe.

You can very effectively take them out with a minefield once you have those researched.. its actually pretty hilarious, they spawn then *Boom* before they even see my base.

[Trensicourt]

The rockets I suggested above use only 1 shot, so they aren't absolutely OP. But the rpg-7 have a long reload of 5 seconds. I'll add the splash area for them.

[palandus]

That's a small mini nuke then. What about instead of mini nuke use a Thermobaric warhead?

[Untrustedlife]

How about neither >_>

Why not just have a simple missile, that explodes on impact, you know, like a torpedo. It is basically a long-range hand grenade

[Trensicourt]

Okay okay okay. I'll change the description to something less op. Okay? BUT THE STATS REMAIN THE SAME.
