Thoughts on a Terminal to disable the Automaton Laser Cannon Tower?

[Kaii]

Similar to disabling a Propaganda Broadcast Tower, I believe that having a terminal with an arrow and an alignment minigame with a five second wait in-between them to disable the tower would be good.

Hmm, I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure it would really *fit*? I don't think the Automatons use terminals or interfaces like we do per say, like it's probably through their own , not hive mind but a robot version, like a ai consensus? So having inputs for humans to use may not make sense lore wise

make it a dropeable stratagem maybe? or a hacking drone idk

Yeah, actually, a call-in similar to the Hellbomb that just knocks out the Cannon Tower instead.

Yeah I can kinda see that if this did happen. But at that point also normal bomb stratagems that can destroy them work so idk.

The issue is that very often I end up not having an applicable stratagem to knock the tower out. I like the Eagle Strafing Run a hell of a lot and use it often, I run some kind of Backpack and the Railgun all the time, and the 4th slot is usually a turret of some kind, so having a Stratagem the same way as you can call a Hellbomb down would be good. I think being able to call a Hellbomb down in an Automaton base would be a bit unreasonably powerful, hence a separate, hacking-based stratagem.

Ah see yeah now that I can see happening! That would be very interesting. if the towers are not full AI, and are just basic computers, maybe we could even take them over?

[I'm cucked]

Sorry but that's entirely on you for not bringing an orbital stratagem, and you have to work around that.

Eagle rocket pods work like charm here.
Actually I find it to be a better pick than the currently bugged as hell 500kg against bots.
