Summary | 0003695: Counter-Tractors | ||||
Description | This could be a new bonus ship, or just an AI-only ship, or maybe a an AI type with an associated special ship. This ship has counter-tractors, which protect nearby ships from tractor beams. This could either be a solid 100% immunity to allies within the area, or a direct counter of up to X tractors. The latter is more interesting and granular, but obviously more challenging to implement. Setting it up like cloak-boosting would probably be one possibility. Another option would be for counter-tractor ships to instead redirect up to X tractor beams to themselves. This of course holds them in place, but if they are grabbing 5 or 10 tractors, they are freeing a lot of other ships. In this version I'd give them a passive attrition ability that applies to any unit tractoring them. So for each tractor holding them, the unit with the tractor takes X damage ever second. I don't see a reason these couldn't be used by players, but they'd be much less useful. | ||||
