Was just thinking while at work and idea came across my mind that maybe as an end-tier 'super weapon' the UNSC could build one of those trading platforms that orbited Harvest? Could provide a large income bonus like some kind of super trading post.

Read some other threads, and answer this question via research by your own way, it will be much more satisfying then a admin decapitating you.

Guys this isn't good for the community. You're coming off way to hostile.

superweapons are stalemate breakers. in SotP, if you find a stalemate, you are about 1/100,000 people probably

Or you play on the same level as your opponent, or your not smart enough to come up with a winning strategy.

I read some threads and saw things regarding an offensive super weapon, but I just though maybe a passive one that really wasn't so over the top game ending would be something maybe people didn't consider yet. 

Hell maybe if I don't say the phrase 'super weapon' and instead say 'better unique trading post unlocked by later research' it would sound better and my first replies wouldn't be so anti-new-forum-user. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Lemme just rephrase my entire first post.

 

I think it would be a nice feature to see the structure that orbited Harvest in the game somewhere, doing something, that doesn't have to be OP.

Honestly i like the idea of this one, and i must apologise on the behalf of these two

I was distracted at that time.

Is grammar considered part of a language? i really wouldn't say we invented it. It evolved from a mix of Latin, Dutch, Gaelic, Cymraeg and German.

Honestly, this isn't too bad of a superweapon idea. I could see this being implemented in some form... Better than the NOVA gun ideas and stuff...

Perhaps rather than look at a super weapon we should look at something similar to the advent. Like a massive trading hub that significantly boosts the UNSC income, or a massive processing facility that increases ship production in the grav well?

So, This Original poster actually had a good idea. Now I dont think were going to implement it due to the nature of us not needing superweapons due to the halo universe. Its too gimmicky. But nobody else has suggested an Econ superweapon before. So props to that guy considering ive heard worse of the last year from other randoms And our own internal playtesters.

Yes I was more trying to be in agreement with him. Didn't realize that I worded it to be exactly like his comment.

Maybe as a possible starbase whose upgrades are solely for economic/ production or mining bonuses.

I like this idea, however if that happens of consider making any upgrade past level 2 (Eco upgrade wise) a hefty price

I always got told i was special :D

 

I wouldn't mind some kind of MAC upgrade to the anchor stations though. Or some archer missiles.

 

I know, I Know... not cannon. I will just hush up now.
