Inventive A2 Special Abilitys

[Styer_Crisis]

Hey there.. if any of you may or may not know, i'm in the market for ideas for intresting and Unique abilitys that challenge conventional thinking. I'm building an ability bassed mod i may post about here in the future.. but for the time.. if any of you have started ideas that weren't practical for your past projects.. i love to take and prefect them. I'm building in FO code.. but many things are still possible even in old a2 code.

Not to keep harking on to BSGHRM v2.0 but I was personally very proud of the weapons we developed for it - specifically the flak and the nuke. Both of which were accomplished in much the same way: MUBall -> Ion Storm -> Shockwave weapon. Basically using this combo you can make something akin to an artillery weapon that has any special as an output (so the nuke output an sensor jammer and a shockwave). So, engine jamming torpedoes, maybe even a nebula generating torpedo? Just takes an imagination and an idea of what races you want to fit them to.

hmmmm
I am Exoploring intresting ideas using uball objects..... Such as a working resource stealing weapon. Multi-effect targetabl uBalls will play a large part.

I"m always fond of SOD based weapons myself. You can make suicide bombers, swarming weapons that circle around a ship dealing constant damage, give them trails and other cool sprite effects.

Hello:
All of those are awesome possibilities, I myself have done so little about that and I am always impressed to how the rest of modders can do, I salute you all (yes, I wanted to use that emoticon accordingly someday).

I remember that there is also the chance of making wave-versions of several of the A2 special weapons, like wave engine overload or wave 8472 Psionic Disruption. Maybe those can help too... maybe for limited units as wave weapons affect many units?
