Was just looking through the Tech trees for each race( bored
)It then struck me that that all military armies have some form of APC. So why not our beloved Terran?
Well ofcourse there are some problems on getting this into the game. First obstacle is the Medievac who already fill the Rapid transport/deployment role. So it needs to do something more than just drive around marines and marauders.
my idea is that the APC should be given a number of different weapon choices, replacing the standard weapons(a light cannon or machine gun or something). Give me a choice of goodies like a Flamethrower( XL variant) Mortars?(slightly longer range then Siegetanks but significantly lower damage)AA-rockets/cannons, Armor addon(imagine oversized armor plates and a huge plow infront, giving like +2 armor but no weaponry) maybe even a Spellcaster module with stuff like vechile repairs, small area scan or something like that.
Ofcourse you would need to research each upgrade indivually and then pay a small sum to "fit" the upgrade to each APC. Put these upgrades in armory but make the APC availble without Tech Lab to make it viable as a customizable specialized vechile both Mid and lategame. installing an upgrade could also remove the Troop carrying capacity.
This could be a vital part of many Terran builds. Balancing it could be hard tho. giving it something like 150hp and 0armor considering it is not a an actual tank. The costs should probably include something like 100 minerals 50 gas since the upgrades will cost you resources aswell as time.
So what do you think about the idea?
