I think most of us think that the SXX seems a little underwhelming. Saw this on reddit on /r/woahdude/ and thought it was pretty cool for the SXX. Anyone else have some cool ideas?
I am one to appreciate this character trait in you... ...but you definitely do too much PA related things with your time nowadays, if you stumbled across this and immediately thought SXX. I thought Pokemon Solar Beam, like that is a leaf element pinecone pokemon.
SSX feel too small in the first place, I'ts pretty powerful and expensive unit and it feel smaller than radar satelite... I would re-scale it's model 2x up (larger than anchor) so it would feel less than a toy... also it could had it's 4 solar panels/radiators half folded when moving and fully spread when ready to shoot. Also it's shooting animation could be more similar to commander ubergun .
I'd love to have these laser animations for orbital. I really miss the lasers on the ground and they can be done with orbital (no surface where a laser has to shoot through or goes off a planet). For instance the umbrella could have the tachyon weapon of the annihilator. The ssx could have this really cool area effect on the ground (like the alien weapon on independance day but then a lot smaller). Orbital is pretty high tech stuff right? Give it high tech looking weapons then. It also makes orbital battles a lot more distinct then surface battles.
Now that is a satellite I would be afraid of. The current satellite is awesome, but the animation lacks... umph. But hey. The devs have admitted to this themselves, and animations are far from complete. I can't wait until we see what Uber has in store.
You know, increasing its size, giving it a rumbling noise while it moves and a whoop azz charging sound and shot would do it wonders it wouldnt take much. I like the model by the way its just too small, with a bigger model imagine the death shadow that thing would put down over its target with in game lighting
I think the SXX size needs to be increased a lot, currently it can easily be confused with a Radar Satellite. The laser definitely needs more "oomph". A change to a beam would look really nice.
If the satellite is shooting on the dark side of a planet it should light it up a bit like in shotforce13's image.
I agree that the SXX model has to be made larger and more intimidating. Also the inclusion of a beam such as the ion cannon from cnc would be great. A small shockwave generated from when the beam hits the ground would be a nice addition as well
