Another unit idea: wreck transporter

I dont play air but I feel for them not able to reclaim metal fields. I know this was talked some time ago.
There could be "transporter" with no attack ability which could take metal wrecks and bring them back to safety so air player can reclaim them.
Or even better just give current transporters ability to pick metal wrecks as well as units? Just give 1 tranporter to planes?

Currently if you lucky with com you can kick wreck a bit.

From balance point tranporters carying metal wrecks can move slower?

If this transport can just pick 1 wreck at a time, this is going to be absolutely inefficient.

+1 Lobster throwing wrecks. It should be able to throw rocks, maybe trees, so wrecks as another Feature would fit that.

there could be a unit like sumo that would act like a giant magnet, pulling or pushing everything around it, including wrecks.

Why can't you use puppies to grey goo up wreaks and then reclaim the puppies for metal?

Puppies convert very inefficiently, and reclaiming them is even less efficient. It's just not a good idea.

Latest stable has 100% efficient puppy reclaim.

Since throwing live puppies into the meatgrinder is 50% efficient, this is actually better value than using constructors to reclaim on-site.

This is even more efficient than rez because rez requires energy to be spent.

I think wreck transporting is fine, as long there are no issues. I can envisage many technical and UI issues that need to be overcome.
