Cruiser Command

Yeah, one piece of C4 can get shredded fairly quickly. It also relies on you having gotten the jump on the enemy team -- which, it being infiltration and all, seems reasonable -- but the strategy is possible in the current meta so long as you're using more than one stick. It has been done.

I ...

... to be honest, I feel as if this topic is poking at the wrong issue.

Let me first preface this in saying that I think something could be gained from changing up the weapons a little bit. But only small tweaks.

Truthfully, both the arc and gauss have pros and cons. The gauss boasts superior DPS ...

#1 reason I don't want an alternate Yamato -- takes away identity.

The Yamato Cannon is the big bad cool super shot from the BC! It's THE super charged weapon!

Nothing should change that.

I tried doing that. To my understanding, you can't use a regular gun to kill the minerals..?

Speaking from the defending side, doesn't a 10 second invulnerability period feel a bit... frustrating? The idea has merit though, it might work.

Also, I probably should have clarified--

... If it was aimed to be balanced around being used in higher frequency,...

Implying a change in cost ...

This topic might have been before a few updates to infiltration, so some points aren't quite on the nose.

But overall I can roughly agree with that assessment, Squid. Except for one point--

Rather than a 'recharge time', elevators should probably have a delayed effect of, say, 1-1.5 seconds in my ...

For the heat shielding, I suppose that depends on the imagined range/reflection value. It begins to have other sorts of problems if it innately has a radius of effect spanning a screen and a half. It begins to have even larger issues if the relative damage of a single wraith can reflect enough ...
