Repair Ship

[Jeremy Hunter]

Repair ships should influence cap fights only anyways tbh.
also, has anyone here ever played Command and Conquer: Renegade Online ?

Repair guns (called Maintenance Tools) can be used on anything to restore health points, and yes, just as you would expect 4 or more infantry (in freelancers case a repair ship) behind a Mammoth Tank (in Freelancers case a Battleship) would create an invincible weapons platform, having all damage inflicted on the tank repaired immediatley (or at least nullified somewhat) greatly improving the effectiveness of the targeted ship.

of course this takes a lot of team work, and unlike in renegade where you are placed on the map with the sole objective of obliterating the other teams base, you will not always have 25 people with you with the exact same goal as you, you will likely have 1 maybe 2 at a stretch.

and teamwork should be rewarded regardless.
Making a repairship in this manner would reduce their use in massive fighter swarms, and increase their use in cap fights, which already are boring at best with the two ships simply charging each other most of the time and not lasting for longer than a few minutes.

you can hide behind and repair a battleship safely, you can not hide and repair a cruiser or smaller safley, they are too fast and too small to effectivley repair.
In Renegade it is the most commonly used tactic to have tanks (caps for freelancer) lead the charge with technicians (repairships) behind giving active repairs , creating a strong offensive or defensive barricade that requires teamwork and tactics to break.

You play Renegade?

Once I get internet at my moms, I so gotta see if Online iss till up.

Multiplayer practice is fun :)


But still. I say no.

I do not want to see, in my CAU4 LSC, four CAU8 Turtles bearing down on me with repair ships, making them thus, unstoppable.
