Ideas and Suggestions.

[Dr.Zombolajnd]

First off i have to note that Lambda Wars is one of or maybe even the best Source mod Ive ever seen in my entire life. And i want to help it with everything i can, so here are my suggestions and ideas for the game.

Rebel Armored vehicle.
Rebels are fast, fast but weak and can be easy to kill if you hit them when they are moving in,
So i though of a way for rebels to move safely without having to sacrifice their mobility, a Armored van that can carry a large group of units with Manned turrets installed on top of it.

Rebel Watchtower.
This goes to the Defense Buildings section. A tall tower with 4 manned turrets and has a huge view over the battlefield. And is weak against explosives.

Combine APC.
A heavily armored vehicle that can carry 2-3 units, is slow , has alot of health , has powerful weapons and is weak to explosives and Molotov Cocktails.

Sabotage Unit.
A rebel Hacker, but more improved.
Weak, uses a pistol, Has the ability to sabotage enemy buildings to work for the player, has a EMC grenade that can disable all enemy buildings in its radius dealing decent amount of damage to them ( Will also disable things like turrets, vehicles and Combine Strides for a short amount of time)

Floating Buildings.
Combine deserve a little more mobility , so just like in Starcraft combine buildings have the ability to fly around slowly using thrusters. They will also fall to the ground if an EMC Grenade thrown at it

Remote Controlled Exploding Robot.
Will cost alot of Scrap and little requisition.Builds Quickly, small amount of health, has a big explosive radius, deals alot of dammage to buildings , vehicles and combine synth's.

Combine Suppression Field.
A Combine building that lowers enemy defense and increases building defense in its radius.

New Rebel Buff:
Engineers can repair Dogs.

Now i feel like Antlions deserve to be as a completely new faction. but with their lack of units and buildings they need more work, so i have some ideas for units and buildings,

New Buff:
Antlions can move slowly underground.

Antlion Charger.
Take a regular small Antlion but bigger with strong improved skin and wide limbs to cover himself.Take a good look at Shieldbugs from Alien Swarm.http://alienswarm.wikia.com/wiki/Shieldbug .Infact thats one of his abilities he can move to cover by covering himself with his protection pads that lower the amount of damage he takes but lowers his speed.

I also feel like they need more units that can kill by using ranged weapons. So why not have an antlion that can shoot spike like projectiles?

New Buff:
Antlions can regenerate when they are buried

New Nerf:
Antlions are extremely weak to fire.

Good point.

I like the APC idea, but let's try to make it abit weaker. Like 8-10 RPG hits on the APC can do. But as for the thrusters on Combine buildings, I don't think that will be good idea. The players may mostally use Grarisons to train units at their emeny base and destroy.

But I may either suggest with Giant barricades like the ones with blocking roads. It could do the trick as well.

But hopefully they can add Antlions roaming throughout the map.

Some of the stuff you requested like the APC and some vehicles for the rebels are planned and are talked about frequently, we should see them in the near future but currently we have other things to finish working on first.
The Ant-lions use to be faction but were moved to sandbox only for multiple reasons, its widely discussed on the Steam forums but currently there is no room for Xen, Antlions or even zombies... yes people have even requested a Zombie faction. Those factions are less likely to ever appear in any game mode in Lambda Wars aside from Sandbox.

As for the rest like the "Hacker" it was already requested a while ago, by lots of people along with mine and Wulps ideas with of Riot Cops, CP Commanders and Hackers. So far the only custom unit that made it into lambda wars is the Riot Metro Cop designed by me but, I had to really figure out ways for it to make seance and actually work. It turned out well, some of my design ideas were rethought however. So, try to flesh your units out a bit go into specifics and they might make it in.
