In theory, squad leaders have the ability to issue attack orders already. In practice, this is a joke, for several reasons: * It requires...
This is simple: An engineer can usually take out a turret in a few seconds if they get within grenade range. A scout can... disable it for...
Fairly simple. Thought of it while reading the thread about proper rax/ref placement -- right now, while people spawn facing one way, it's not...
I've been thinking about the scout some more. I still feel making them an anti-emplacement class is one good way to go, but there's another...
I took a short break from Empires, and when I come back there seems to be a ton of servers with plugins that are either pointless and...
I've noticed that a lot of comms screw up their rax/VF placement, so I thought I'd make a post about it. You should, almost always, place your VF...
One thing that bothers me about Empires is that most people put armor more or less evenly on a tank. This means that there's little value to...
This has come up in a few threads now, so I thought I'd mention it... I think Empires would benefit from having maps with more interesting and...
What do people think of this idea? Like the suggestion says -- have every chassis except jeeps require research before you can use it....
I think it would be useful if the comm (or engineers for engie-built sensors) could set up their sensing equipment to send an alert to them or...
The damage tanks take when they collide with things doesn't really serve any purpose. It's too low to be hugely meaningful for decent tanks, but...
I was thinking of "Empires as an RTS" in another thread, and I realized one of the biggest ways Empires differs from an RTS. Even if you don't...
While thinking about the way fortifications work in Empires right now, I came up with this idea. The heavy anti-tank turret would be a larger,...
I've noticed a lot of engineers using their walls to 'ride' up to higher points -- you build a wall, you stand on it, you construct it until...
I saw this feature in another game, and realized it would be even more valuable in Empires: I think there should be a timeout after you use an...
Now, I'm not seriously suggesting anyone waste time improving it. It's better off just dead. But it's still interesting to think about just how...
It would be interesting if you could see how much res each of your teammates has spent in the player list. Obviously, this shouldn't be available...
When you're comming, it's easy for the text box to get so spammed with things like order completed messages that you miss things your team is...
Although there's the voice 'the command vehicle is taking damage', a lot of people have reported missing that. So perhaps the commander icon in...
A while back, there was a suggestion to have a more obvious message whenever the comm gets out of the CV. (The CV display blinks for a bit at the...
