tesla suicide (tesla able to do suicide). This might be a decent idea. But instead call it "Static Discharge".

spy able to hijack? or knife attack?. Interesting idea, but spy's werent very James Bond. They were more, get in, get out. Well, minus the out.

Well here are some ideas for upgrades.
Transferred from the units page
"Well of course all of the barracks will have the capture upgrade for their basic unit. I think it would be cool to give the minigunner a shotgun upgrade which would be powerful at short range (there was a shotgun trooper in renegade). Yes, a c4 upgrade would probably be good for ghoststalker. Well I suppose 4 infantry it okay, but if you can more would be good. I think some sort of upgrade for a vehicle like a hum-vee or a tank should let it shoot in the air because I can't see any tiberia vehicles that shoot in the air right now, unless the mrls can. An upgrade to increase speed of treaded vehicles would be good. The charge cannon for the orca would really have no relation to C&C but it would still be good for hit and run tactics. It would function somewhat like the yamato gun on the battlecruiser from starcraft if you ever played that game, making a good upgrade.You could also add an upgrade to let the bomber carry to extra bombs. And as far as the weed refinery goes I think it would be good to have this be the ghostalker building. Maybe you wouldn't need this to build him, but could hold the c4 upgrade, and some other things like where ever he walks he spreads tiberium (toxin). Then maybe another upgrade that lets bombers add tiberium to their bombs."

"Why not give each side a heavy tank, then offer each one a special upgrade that will give it a special advantage. Make each heavy tank have very little effect on other heavy tanks, that way it adds more special tactics to the game play. Suggestions would be like:

Defensive:

Apocalypse Tank: Bullet Proof Armour (50% reduction in damage by bullets, built at side's upgrade center thing)
Mammoth Tank: Bullet Proof Armour (50% reduction in damage by bullets, built at side's upgrade center thing)
Overlord Tank: Super Metal (heals self very slighty after each shot, built at side's upgrade center thing)

Offensive:

Apocalypse Tank: Auto Loading (Increased firing speed by XX%, built at side's upgrade center thing)
Mammoth Tank: Mined Shots (Alternative Fire Mode for a target area, must be purchased at the upgrade center. Shoots 3 mines at a time)
Overlord Tank: Turret Gun (same as in generals)

"Grenade as an upgrade for Tiberiun first infantry. Would be like flash-bangs but hurt both infantries and tanks, not able to clear out garrisoned buildings."

"Nationalism upgrade for RA. Generals if they are so high-tech they should have AP bullets & rockets.
Tiberian can maybe have the advanced training upgrade."

"I'm pretty much decided that the Overlord will be the only tank with built on upgrades though a long winded essay might change my mind. I like the Bomb truck having both upgrades. Plus I'm scared that Dr. Thrax might come and kill me. :)"

"Advanced Communication Center -- Blbpaws never said where the Ion Cannon would be launched. But it would be a long time to wait for radar, don't you think? (unless we made the Ion Cannon an upgrade...)"


"Advanced Guard Tower -- We were planning to implement this as an upgrade to the Guard Tower."

"Grenade Upgrade -- I liked the shotgun idea better for the Minigunner. But it might be worth giving to the Reds' rocket soldier. Or maybe we could just ditch him for the Flak Trooper and Grenadier."

"Nationalism -- We're playing around with that idea.
AP Upgrades -- The Generals Elite doesn't have enough rocket weapons to make the AP Rocket upgrade worthwhile, but AP Bullets would be good.
Advanced Trainig -- Why shouldn't the Generals ELITE have it?"

And here are some ideas of my own for red alert and generals.
Well a good idea for the rocket soldier (if it is not replaced by a flak trooper and/or grenidier) it could have a mode where it could deploy like how the guardian G.I. did, possible making it uncrushable. And I think that there should be an upgrade for tanya to be able to place C4 quicker. In the old C&C games they destroyed he buiildings almost instantly. Now it takes a long time and they can easily be detected. I suppose that difference is that the heroes are cloaked until they start to plant. I'm exactly sure how to balance this, but there could be some sort of upgrade where the whole C4 process is a little closer to how it was in the older games. I think that for the V3 there shoudl be an upgrade where the rockets that it shoots are stronger, as one of the weaknesses of the past is that thewy could defend agianst the rockets themselves. Also, there could possible be an upgrade for the rhino to have a second barrel, so that it could be closer to the heavy tank in RA1, but that might make it too powerful. For the apc there could be an upgrade where soldiers put inside the apc slowly heal. For the harrier there could be an upgrade where can have a machine gun to attack infantry with so that it wouldn't need to waste a missle, but this can only be used agianst infantry. And at the supply purifier there could be an upgrade that would act like the inustrial plany and take 10% off all units.

Generals Elite: Really I can't say much here because they already have upgrades from the orignal game, and the only thing to say is that I think that $2000 is a lot for something that si only anti-air (avenger). If you are still using that, please lower the price or give an upgrade where it can attack something else like infantry.

the "deploy" feature isn't in Generals or ZH.

I don't know about the C4 idea. I kind of like it how it is.

The Avenger is a reallly good AA defense so maybe it should stay at 2000.

I like your Supply Purifer upgrade idea.

I agree. We should be looking for some almost all inclusive upgrades such as Black Napalm or AP Bullets. Does anyone have any ideas?

1. Composite armour
2. Oiled wheels (well what are they called, the wheels tanks have?)
3. Chem-suits (able to walk on tiberium)
4. nuclear impact (shells or rockets blow much stronger when destroied)
5. Static discharge (tesla tower or units able to blow themselves up)
6. Tiberium bullets (almost like toxin shells, except on bullets)
7. Electric jam (all tesla or high-tech units jam the enemy radar)
8. Black flak (stronger flak)
9. Stealth field (maybe Radar van could camouflage surrounding units, or some other unit)
10. Marine training (or some other training)(makes infantry run and shoot faster)

I don't think that they are using tiberium and that supply piles are still being used. But i'll think of some ideas for all inclusive

Tiberia:
For Kane! - nationilism, but only works with nod units
Tiberium shells - Tank shells and (rockets as well maybe?) leave a little bit of toxic tiberium when shot.
Medic training - (if the actual unit is not included) after this upgraded is purchased all infantry can now auto-heal
Aircraft armor - aircraft get 25% better armor

Reds:
The grinder: all vehicles can be sold when near the war factory (if that isn't possible then I suppose you have them be sold anywhere but that might be a little unfair as you could sell a vehicle if you think that there is no hope for it to retreat in time so that you get money and they don't get experience)
Chrono warp - the apocolypse and whatever the MBT will be has a one-time use of chrono warping the pilot of a vehicle to another dimension. I think that if it could be used agian like jarmen kel then it would be too powerful
Fight for the motherland! - vehicles get a 15% increase in firepower

Elites:
AP Bullets - this one would have to be included as they like bullets
Junk repair: somewhere in this forum I read that the elites try to give out the most damage while taking the least.. so this fits
Advanced training: just look at the name lol

my ideas

tib side:
increased hover power: makes all hovering units 30% faster
better missiles: makes all missiles 10% more powerful and all units that use missiles will be 10% cheaper
tiberium powerd flamers: flame units switch from black napalm to napalm that works on tiberium, power increases with 50% (black napalm is such a lame upgrade for tibs side so i made another idea for flame upgrade, could be green flames)
mechs leg plating: increases armour of all mechs by 20%
improved stealth system: for stealth tank only (if put it) stealth tank can shoot and while shooting it remains cloacked.

maybe ill come with more ideas later, for now no ideas for the other sides.

My oppinion about cdlords ideas are bad.
Maybe Improved mech legs: increases the movement speed for mech units.
Better missiles??? what a lame name for an upgrade. Change the name. And wouldn't that be the same as AP rockets?

Tibs:

  • Osmium Slugs (increases railgun damage by 25%)
  • Stealth Generators (all Nod vehicles become cloaked when stationary)
  • Automatics (all bullet-based weapons receive a 20% ROF cut) [makes them fire 25% faster]
  • Aero Turbines (all aircraft receive a 25% speed boost)
  • Rangefinders (all shell and missile weapons receive 20% range boost)
  • Black Napalm (Same as in Generlas)
Reds:

  • Targeting Sensors (all tanks receive a 20% damage boost)
  • Psychic Sensors (all infantry detect stealth)
  • Limpet Mines (Spy can place limpet mines that latch onto enemy vehicles and reveal terrain)
  • Body Armor (all infantry receive a 25% health boost)
  • Shrapnel Mines (increases mine damage by 25%)
  • Bulletproof Armor (Harrier and Longbow take 25% less damage from bullet-based weapons)
  • Laser-Guided Missiles (Same as in Generals)
  • Radar Ping (reveals the location of enemy aircraft for 1 minute every 4 minutes)

i think upgrades which are in generals shouldn´t be put in for the other sides, thats just lame and well bad.
that better missiles upgrade i had still needed a better name. and it wasn´t like ap rockets because the units that use the missiles become 10% cheaper to produce.
i think the stealth generators upgrade would be way to powerful, every nod unit stealth would be very very powerful, one or 2 stealthed units would be good but all is a little bit much though not stealthed while moving it´s still very powerful as a defence, maybe too powerful because the tibs side got a strong defense building already.
the other upgrades commiedog posted where good.

some upgrade ideas for reds side:

improved aa missiles: missiles become 15% more powerful against air units.

decreased tesla tower power usage: tesla tower needs 1 less power

increased tesla power: all tesla weapons do 25% more damage and the tesla tower requires 1 more power, all tesla upgrades for tanks have their price increased by 10% because of the need for a better reactor for the tank.

gat cannon advanced targeting system: increases the range of the gat tank with 10%.

increased base defenses armor: tank bunker gets 50% more armor and tesla tower gets 10% more. (any other defense gets 15% more)

increased tesla generator output: upgrade done in tech lab building thing. makes it possible to upgrade tesla reactors to produce 50% more power and buying this upgrade reduces the price of all tesla weapons for tanks by 5%

I think it is bad and overpowered that you have upgrades that reduce the price.... VERY bad.
