Advanced defensive structures?

McBerns

Maybe to hold off the tougher ones like the exos and onos. It be a heavy cost to place it down, and it may require a 2nd tech base put down. Unlike the wips and sentries, it does so little damage. With the advanced defensive structures however, it should deal more damage than usual. This is seen in Command and Conquer 3, where there is an advanced defense structure on every faction.

How would you balance it against all life forms?

Adding more AI based defense is going to take away from actual player skill

This is a pvp game not a pve game... The less structures a player has to play against the better.

To add to what @deathshroud's and @Side1Bu2Rnz9 mentioned with an example...

It would cause the problem Nuclear Dawn has/had (not sure as I've not played it in a long time). At the start of the game it's mostly PVP. But the further the game goes along, you are facing off against an ever increasing turret farm, in essence changing from PVP to PVE. As a result taking down a base would probably turn into a grind fest and add to the turtle power as well.

No thanks

They are right. UWE should remove hydras, whips, sentries, armories etc.
Actually UWE should remove all structures from the game. NS2 is NOT a pve game.
