Recycling Technology Update 3 Options

[The_Hunter]

In today's update, we will be showing you the goodies that you can obtain by capturing USA Tier 1 tech with the Recycler.


Recyclers themselves will be able to carry a container which holds all the required equipment to control four armed drones similar to the USA WASP Hive.


Needless to say, the GLA had to do some improvisation of their own to properly arm their rather non-standard drones.


For your standard units, you can upgrade Scorpions with hover drives which slightly reduce their health in exchange for amphibious capabilities and a much faster movement speed.


And finally Marauders, which can also be upgraded with these same hover drives with the same penalties and benefits as the Scorpion tank.

Also, like every year, it is time for the ModDB awards again!

If you like our mod we would kindly ask you all to give us a vote to see if we can once again end up high in the rankings.

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads!

[Mr.Kim]

Wait what? Hover Drive..? Man, that's crazy

Anyway, this is getting better and the best.

I dig the drones, but hover marauders kinda put me off. Though they have that nice brutal look

Do the GLA tanks behave the same way as the USA Crusader?

[markp]

How is the weapon system chosen for the drones?

Pick a weapon up front (eg, quad cal) which will be used for all drones?

Or perhaps the weapon systems are randomly chosen each time a drone is built?

Is the list of weapon systems available for drones affected by the scraps collected by a recycler truck, eg, nuke missiles for T2 China scrap?

Thanks!

GLA drones are awesome,but TBH I don't like hovering GLA tanks at all,simply it doesn't look fitting at all.
As for voting I hope you will finish at least second this year.

It's the same as a WASP hive.
The truck spawns four drones, two with MGs, one with mortar shells and one with rockets.

Well, that's what I take from the stream anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong.

GLA Hover tanks? In almost 10 years of Generals modding, I never though I would see that one. They look pretty amazing.

Excelent work team

[The_Hunter]

Not entirely since the marauders and scorpions basicly permanently replace their default propulsion in favor for a hover one.
Trade of for that is a permanent health reduction of 20% for increased mobility.

How is the weapon system chosen for the drones?

It spawns 4 of those drones at the start (one of each) and they will respawn respectively when destroyed.
Also worth noting that all of them are statisticly (almost) identical.

Next steps: Cliff jumping quads, buggies with penetrator rounds, grads with cluster munitions, partisans with railgun.............

It's magic so anything can happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Svea Rike]

Hovering vehicles made of scrap. Now there's something you don't see everyday

[BlackRangerXIII]

OMG!
THIS IS AWESOME!

(Technofreakism intensifies)

[Pepo]

How do you fit a turbine in an already cramped scorpion???

Gla must be good with magic
Btw, excellent work, i really like the recycling mechanic, really unique

[BlackRangerXIII]

Look Reeeaaaaallllyyyyy close to the sides of the vehicle
What do you see?

[Basilisx]

Oh holy Sh*t. To paraphrase Yuri:"Why should I be content to lead one faction if I can control every faction, Mr. President."

I like how the one Targeteer Drone is carrying a beer crate I use them sometimes for firework on new year, but this is a totally different dimension.

[Mr.Kim]

Partisans with railgun.............

Not really. Mostly vehicles units will get the unique stolen upgrades(not quiet sure). For example, some extra armor or stolen ERA armor.

Skynet is online !!!
And those tanks will be really useful for hit-and-run. Unprotected supplies, beware !

[HoneyBee]

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads!

Though it stops being a matter of "where" they are going, it just stays at: "we don't need roads".

I would never expect to hover technology for the Scorpion and the Marauder; although I do not like much of the appearance of the tanks with the upgrades this addition is interesanting to the GLA gameplay.

[DELETED MEMBER]

i am startting to think GLA aren't actually terrorist, but actual time-traveler refugees from a post-apocaliptic future
amazing as usual, cant really say anything about it but wait for the next update to blow some minds

nah, of course they aren't time traveler refugees, they are cleary orks


...time traveler ork refuges, yeah.

[SiR Chaff]

Holy F*cking Acorns!

I must have zis flying Scorpion and Marauder on CHRISTMAS!

Also

For example, some extra armor or stolen ERA armor.

Since USA recycler upgrades for GLA tanks can optionally become fast and amphibious at the cost of health, is it safe to expect the Russian recycler upgrades for Scorpions and Marauders would be the opposite ??

[Emin96]

marauder hover power is aviable in t1 or t2?

Wow. Those hover tanks will be pretty good to evade the enemies strategy center cannon I guess .
And also GLA does get amphibious stuff, at least vs USA, thats nice.
