An idea I've had a for a while.

What do you guys think of a little robot, which is essentially a welder on wheels, that the commander can drop, to whiz around base, and slowly build/weld buildings within a predetermined perimeter?

I'm well aware that this may discourage against marines having to build things themselves, but I guess you could either make it build things slightly slower than a marine for a reasonable price, or require high numbers of them, each for a small amount of resource, to stack to build things.

It could also weld things I guess.

    Do you mean like a <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=103919" target="_blank">weld bot</a>?

    If so then, Good News! <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/news/2007/12/13th_podcast" target="_blank">Podcast 13</a> will be very interesting to you.

    again, same idea poped up, i said fu** no, as soon as these are available, the aliens loose their advantage of not having to sit and make the structures.

    Welder bot, i'm all for, and is even already a garentee that it'll be in. The weld bot will kick ass, but no, NO, <b>NO</b>, <b><u><i>NO</i></u></b> builder bots

    Builder bots are fine. Who likes humping a building and holding down the E key until it's finished? I don't.

    Yea, sure, let's do that then, kill half the game-play for marines, I like that.

    FU** NO

    The marines shouldn't rely on building with bots, Basic Idea, No Build Bot

    So you're of the opinion that half the gameplay is, or should be marines holding down e while staring at a building?

    No, my opinion is that marines need a disadvantage to go with the aliens not getting a commander.

    Marines already have that disadvantage in the form of being so utterly dependent on the guy for just about everything.
