Deployable cover would be great. A shield would make more sense to me.

when is a bad tanker not p*ssed. good tankers don't get p*ssed lol.

Personally I think that it's a good idea, but...

The portable shield is coming and will be used as cover.

Furthermore, this slowing down of vehicles will be the job of deployable web devices, the likes of which are seen in EVE. I foresee a nanohive-like bubble on the ground that simply snags vehicles like the giant cables you see on aircraft carriers to catch and slow down landing planes.

i believe this to be partially correct, in the concept of dragons teeth and the description of the first ones, but dragons teeth, as far as i know are solely the large pyramid shaped cement and rebar slabs. They are usually deployed in large number at irregular intervals to make the passage of tanks and heavily armored vehicles far more difficult if not impossible

just to verify our statements i went and asked wiki
Dragon's teeth (fortification)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dragons Teeth on GHQ Line in Britain in 2006
Dragon's teeth (German: Drachenz+ñhne, literally "dragon teeth") are square-pyramidal fortifications of reinforced concrete first used during the Second World War to impede the movement of tanks and mechanised infantry. The idea was to slow down and channel tanks into killing zones where they could easily be disposed of by anti-tank weapons.
They were employed extensively, particularly on the Siegfried Line.




I love the idea of making the terrain more difficult to traverse for vehicles, but with the way i see this item in particular i fear it will either be used more often as a ladder of sorts enabling players to reach areas previously unavailable without a derpship, or to block staircases so infantry cant get into an area thereby creating a forced choke point or making it impossible to get into a building or objective as it would likely be gaurded by another player upon high ground making it harder to destroy

you can't see remote explosives or proxy mines so they offer no detarance. as for being too fast paced, i don't think that makes a difference. people will always be trying to take over different points. sometimes they just spam vehicles or tanks to overwhelm them. being able to fortify against vehicles even for a short time would balance out defense and make it a bit more viable when the enemy is vehicle heavy. not everyone is KDR mad and decided to defend instead. buying time to send help back to a point could only be beneficial to all, more kills all around as positions are harder to take and require tactics rather than overwhelming force.

actually i was thinking about this just a few hours ago and i would place these as an off chute of nano hives. it would require nano circuitry and then nano fabrication skills

so something along the lines of

nano circuitry 3 as prerequisite
nano fabrication 1 (basic)
nano fabrication 3 (advanced)
nano fabrication 5 (proto)

this or just have them available at the same level as nano hives and needle are on the nano circuitry skill.

if there was ever a time we needed this device....its now

still want

id probably let assault swarm launchers lock them so as to be able to help clear them out and offer up a secondary role to a pretty much useless item
