WOTS Random Ideas

[vardald]

Here It is. I've Started a post for all those random ideas for SST:WOTS out there in the hopes that some may get included, or if not to at least make it easier for people to see what others are thinking.

An idea I've been thinking about is a dedicated heavy weapons squad for the MI. While Marauders can carry most of the heavy weapons available, I still think there's a place for this unit, as it avoids putting all of your eggs in one basket, so to speak. I think Sicon would also see merit with this idea were it real, as a small squad loaded up with heavy armaments can more easily sneak in and complete their objective than a large, expensive marauder. If not for regular PAMI, they could always be part of a Pathfinders platoon.

I see that as an improvement best used with LAMI... in my opinion the Power Suit MI already have heavy weapons... the Sniper Rifle, Triple Thud, and Javelin... oh and Flamer.

They just don't have a decent automatic heavy weapon, and I would suggest letting them take a Derringer... a mere 4D6 20 inches, and not having any annoying limitations.

As for random ideas...

an Environmental Table that determines wide ranging effects for the game... such as light and heavy gravity, weather, night or day time, or even super day time (multi-suns)...

I would also like to see the Skinnies more advanced forces have some very fast and nimble drop ships to deliver their troops. I imagine them becoming the need for speed race with some serious weapon up close, and maintaining a decent medium range armament.

I want to see the Brain Bug become a real command asset as opposed to a no LOS assassination artillary piece. Its special abilities should mostly focus on the whole army or a particular unit... suicidal stimulation was a good idea it just wasn't worth taking when faced with Ego War or Rupture or Shield.

I'd like to see a Power Suit MI APC... that can be taken for LAMI but with more restrictions.

I don't want to see special LAMI Marauders... NO LAMIM Please!

I would like to see Pathfinders become an asset available to all armies.

I want to see Marauders limited to Power Suit MI Platoons... now that we have Exo Suit Platoons I think we can and should do without Marauder Platoons as they are really very extreme... not unbalanced but extreme and expensive in terms of SICON...

While it goes against good Tank strategy I think that the PAMI are mobile enough that the Marauders should be spread out to support the infantry.

I want my Queen Bug to have a pic in the book
