Random Idea for Scorps

[violet flare]

What a debated topic, i havent stayed too updated with it either but I had a random thought about them and decided to share just to have said it.

Anyways, what if scorps needed to be spawned in the grand spawner along with the goliath? What if since theyre not quite as big as said Goliath, thats fixed by having to spawn them in pairs? And obviously the time and cost would double?

Just a random idea to keep them basically at the same production rate and cost, but slow down specifically how you spawn them due to tech and the fact that the grand spawner is a lil more expensive, and maybe even Goliath boio would get more action, just an idea ofc

I believe to solve scorp tech itself should be balanced out instead of moving the scorp. Would be a little confusing to give specifically one unit a special treatment by spawning in pairs while having all the greater spawner aliens of the same size kept there. It's quite intuitive already with the "Oh, bigger spawner makes bigger units" which is good for new players.

I do hope for a new alien the size of the goliath for the grand spawner though, seems a little empty.

Yeah the fact that it just spawns Mr Goliath man is waht made me think about it, and idk it was a random thought. And it would technically be a scorp tech hit if spawned from the grand spawners, but it was just an idea since theyre obviously not as big as the Goliaths- so pairs was the only thing i could think of xD

300000 IQ move - double size of scorp. Make no other changes.

I dont think thats a good idea buddy 💀

[kindred seal]

You’re right, triple the size of the scorp.

aliens could probably use an indirect fire unit that just might be big enough for the grand spawner

Like an odd artillery unit? Only thing that comes to mind is something similar to the firebug but longer range

Planet size Scorpion!

Scorpion shot will change, apparently it will be somewhat like a lob or something.

I’m excited to see this change.

I hope the direct fire organic autocannon role is filled again though.

Shotgun not great for an artillery unit, I'm thinking big globs of Acid that applies a DOT and weakens armor of the enemy it hits, rather than having strong initial damage.

[vivid hatch]

He said he wanted to give that weapon to a smaller glass cannon unit.

This would open up a good synergy between it and whatever form glass cannon scorp takes.

Supportive ability would be a great way to differentiate from Humans, and works well for the Hive Mind as Cooperative Ability is a neccesary and innate feature of the collective.

mmm Big acid balls, sounds juicy i like
