Alternate research options
I was thinking that the research of units needs more content. Namely having an alternate research option that has the same price and is either mutually exclusive or if either is researched, the other ...
Forum Discussion
I thought of some other alternate or mutually exclusive research options:
Mutually Exclusive:
GDI Mammoth Tank - instead of the 'wall breaker' it now has 'nanobots' and 'harpoon'. The nanobots works the same way as the Firehawk/vertigo's but is more effective. It cuts the repair time by 3/5's, e.g. only 40% of the original repair time. The harpoon works the same way as the magnetic harpoon of the apocalypse tank from RA3. It forcefully drags a vehicle closer to it and uses that very vehicle to crush any nearby unfortunate unit. Never have I seen a scooper accidentally crush a rocketfist.
Nod Scorpion - it has ' laser cutter' for helping it trample infantry. The alternate research option is 'intense laser', basically, it reroutes the laser cutter's power to its main gun which its firepower increases by 25% to vehicles and 100% to infantry.
Extra research:
This is for grenade wielding units, they just get a 2nd grenade to use, either on the same unit if the duration wears out or on another unit.
I might be posting more, but I would like to know what players would like for an alternate/mutually exclusive research option.
