Turrets in ZS?

[Ywa]

Because NECROSSIN couldn't be bothered to make this topic.

It's about these kind of turrets: http://steamcommunity.com/id/necrossin/screenshot/540638652522137769

[NECROSSIN]

Well here goes all info about current turrets:

• They will be avalaible only for lvl 5-6 engineers.
  
• Turret health will be ~150-250.
  
• Damage per turret's bullet ~3-4
  
• Maximum amount of ammo for turret ~140-200
  
• Turret will scan only 90-110 degrees in one direction (so you can sneak behind it as zombie and destroy).
  
• Turret will slowly recharge ammo if there are no zombies around.
  
• However if you will turn turret off - recharging speed will be increased in cost that turret will not be able to shoot.
  
• Turret will not detect headcrabs (or ethereals).
  
• Distance limit between turrets will be ~900-1400 units.
  
• Current turret's spot range is 500 units.
  
• Humans will not be damaged by turret, however turret's owner will be (50% less damage).

They can be knocked over with props, but cannot get knocked over with zombie attack.

Sounds good.

Maybe its a good idea if other classes get something at lvl 5-6 to ?

Sounds like the best idea ever.

whoo turrets, cool

The only problem no one is level 5-6 support the highest is level 4 so they should all be for level 4 and if over powered then make it 5-6

Not many people even have level 4+ yet alone 5+

Not all maps have props laying around. Zombie attacks should be able to knock them over too. It should be the player's responsibility to watch his turret and make sure it's placed on the right spot.

I agree with Clavus.

[Lipton]

Yeah, but i think turrets can be destroyed from behind

I was about to say the same thing, however I thought it's worthless, since my initial reply was ironical, thus implying the idea is silly.

EDIT: More over, the turret will be rather rare... Make it more accessible and less powerful...

yeah turrets sound good as long as their 'balanced'

Please dont make this again

[Darkstar]

Darkness stop posting offtopic replies, what you said should have gone into ZS Suggestions thread. NOT THIS ONE.

THEY ARE FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.

Do it again and your warn level will be increased, again.

[Mr. Darkness]

Ok. Sorry, once again.

Btw. I think that lvl 5 is the right level for a turret, because you should 'play 2 win'. I think thats ballanced for the game. All special perks for all should be on high levels only.

Edit: maybe on level 6 you can place 2-nd turret, if first was destroyed? (or an upgrade for it)

or wait, no...

Interesting idea!

Would be great to see it in game
