In addition, the Depot is a relay for the Razor Trains coming directly from City 17 and other locations. The Depot covers cell blocks C1 through D8, and fills the area with Combine articles such as computers, forcefield gates, cells, etc. The inclusion of the Depot on Nova Prospekt necessitated the partial or complete destruction of several blocks, such as block C3. Charges up a blast, then releases when ready.īoth of these weapons would have little effect on very heavy ships.The Depot is a nexus for Combine distribution of Stalkers, as well as a storage center for political prisoners such as Eli Vance. At max range it's about as dangerous as a fart. Width of blast increases over distance, but strength of blast decreases. Short optimum range, moderate maximum range. Light area damage that ignores shields, no tile penetration. Maybe repulsor is directional and must be placed on the outer surface of the ship, like a shield generator? This way it would take up potential weapon and defense slots.Ī similar idea: gravity cannons that shoot small waves of force to knock around enemies.
Okay this part might have too much utility. Pull in debris and asteroids for efficient salvage and mining. Push an enemy out of range when your shields go down. Either an instant gravity implosion or a gravity well that stays active for a longer duration. Maybe include a reverse polarity option to pull ships(and projectiles!) in as well. Rearming takes considerable time, crew participation, and power. Great for pushing away that first huge salvo of missiles or deflecting a big barrage of cannon fire.
The wave might also affect physical projectiles. When the part is activated, the power charge is expended, creating a wave of force that expands outward from the ship, pushing away enemy and ally alike. Gravity Repulsor is a large room that gets loaded with power. Such a part might be fun in Cosmoteer.Ī space game with a physics engine deserves mechanics that play with those physics! I remember back to Homeworld: Cataclysm the dreadnought had a repulsor ability which when used, created a blast that pushed enemies away from it, buying time.
