New Unit Idea: Wartrain

What if the train was actually on another train, and its track was orbiting the sun. MIND BLOWING. I shouldn't be giving this stuff away for free. I'm taking this to Kickstarter.

Train Within a Train: Coming 2018. You heard it here first.

Also you could add massive railway guns

Great job on that art! Not only is your idea quite interesting, but the art and presentation are epic. Sadly though, it would probably work better as a mod. But the point still stands, large scale transports are needed.

Still one of my favourite unit ideas along with the flying aircraft carrier and the normal naval one.... (how it would work or its use apart from being a factory I don't know).

And as an added bonus we'll send you a aircraft refueling and refit car, free of charge!

Yeah, we'll also throw in a long range gauss cannon, because they're awesome.

Even though I don't see this making it ingame, it's ******* awesome.

Just too awesome! Again, great work on those images!

Keep going with this. We need this mod.

That is a beautiful looking unit. It looks great and fits in with the PA art style well. Good job. It would be awesome to see it in action.

TRAINCEPTION. WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER.

But anyway, I think it would be a lot more practical to just invent teleportation gates. Those could also be used to facilitate invasions of other worlds: if you can get down there and make a gate, you can bring in your armies from another planet.

The train itself may not really suit PA, but I was thinking maybe a train like unit that has "parts" to it that you can customize. For example a few parts with different turrets, a few parts that can carry units, etc. A centipede like unit.

But then again, I don't really think it fits the vanilla game, but more for a mod.

Awsome presentation. But not that sure about the idea...

Maybe metal planets could have rail's premade on the surface and you could build trains on them? (I feel that it might avoid aloot of the new code being needed)

One of these instead of spaceships or teleporters. For interplanetary travel.

Actually I think that would be an awesome stand-alone game. Train Simulator 2015: DEEP SPACE EDITION.

Maybe a train that looks like this, because I think its a really nice design.

I'm sorry for the necro - was discussing this in a PM and I thought this thread was something newer people might not have seen.

I VERY MUCH SUPPORT THIS UNIT IDEA.
YES PLEASE.

Mother of god...this is awesome

Please become a real thing

Glorious!

all though i honestly cant see it as part of the main-game...it would make a really fascinating mod
