Suggestion #1: New Missile Sizes & Silos #164

Open Andrew2070 opened 8 years ago

Hey Andrew here,

I have a suggestion for a future release, In truth everyone has seen ICBM back in 1.6.4, and instead of building back on the same ideals, why not go "Nuclear" so to speak in terms of change by actually re-working the conceptual design slightly more. Currently missile sizes are small, in reality they would be MRBM's or IRBM's with less range than ICBMs. I was suggesting that the current missile models be integrated as MRBM's and IRBMS while the stronger ICBM's be implemented as larger, more lethal, and space based so that MIRV support can be integrated.

Basically what i am trying to suggest is that a new missile and silo be created which is much more larger. These ICBM's would be two by two in width and ten blocks in height, with multiple rocket/engine stages. The missile silo would be a multi-block structure of two by two as well as twelve blocks in vertical height.

This would also allow for players to build their missiles in a with up-to four warheads, that way in a control panel warheads can be targeted at 4 different points in a limited radius, ie 500 blocks rather than 1 target. Basically one would get more bang for a buck, as maintaining 40 hidden tiny missile underground seems to be less resourceful than 10 vertically larger missiles capable of more destruction as well as precision.

Well those are just my two cents, I hope maybe my suggestion could become a reality 👍

Keep up the good work, hope to see the release soon! :)

3 more sizes of missiles are planned going up to a 64+ block tall missile

MIRV support is planned for all sizes with slightly difference settings per size. For example, micro will get a 100 swarm pack that does very low damage.

Ah, perfect then.

I was hoping there would be some changes in terms of width of both silos and missiles as well? You could also do it by the type of warhead, where nuclear warheads being the heaviest are limited. Such as where a missile could have 1 1MT Warhead or 4 250KT Warheads that can be targetted.

Already implemented through limited warhead packing in each size. It's just right now all explosives are the same size. Things like nukes will have a larger sizes resulting in limits to the medium, and large missiles

Great,

keep up the good work.
