yep,
pretty
much.
Which
leads
me
to
another
thought
on
the
Djinn
-
what
if,
rather
than
teleporting,
it
used
a
Newton-ish
tractor-repulsor
beam
setup
from
beacon
to
Djinn
(
or
maybe
a
two-way
setup,
Djinn
to
Djinn)
to
actually
drag
units
through
space?
The
enemy
could
go
in
between
and
shoot
your
transfers
as
the
crossed,
so
be
careful.

Or an even more outlandish idea, a Unit Cannon. Supreme Commander 2* had one of these, called the Mavor, which was a giant cannon that would shoot units across the map, and if the Djinn was bigger I could totally see it launching stuff via gravity repulsor or whatever. Units would need some crash padding to survive the impact though :)

Yeah, I don't really like it either. It could be a really nice unit, but right now it doesn't seem to have a good role. I like the fact that you can reclaim the meteors though.

I was talking about AaaD with regards to military force. The economy has it, yes, in that metal gets "teleported" around, and that's OK.

Action at a distance, and why it's bad.
