New kudo items!

This is great and all, but unless it's fairly easy to implement, more help is needed in implementation than in ideas.

If people have simple skin ideas they'd like to see though, that's easy if they're basically a retexture.

Would custom colored nanolathe clouds/beams be doable?

The ability to have the com say at will : "I love it when a plan comes together"

Different explosions!
Could be a couple different things, including explosions recolored to other specific colors (1 unlock per color) or being able to choose which color(s) your commander explodes as (1 unlock, possibly customized with RGB values; also can be changed after unlock). It would be noticeable and look good.

Chicken chasis!
Identical to the support (or pick a different one) commander, except it uses a chicken model. The idea is from the (weaponless) chicken commander that was used to replace people's custom commanders as a punishment, but isn't anymore, since people were deliberately trying to get it. Let them have it! (This one seems the easiest to implement, since something similar has been done before)

Different dgun texture/sound!
Retexture/add a new sound for the dgun blast. Make it a different color, make it look different and more dangerous, or make it sound like metal being torn apart.

Extra animations!
New animations, like an idle action or something they do when they are self-destructing.

New speech bubbles!
Commanders would say things like "I can fly!" when they are going fast enough through the air or after a long enough time that way. They might have a speech bubble like "Good-bye" when a nuke is a few seconds away from hitting within a certain distance, or say "SHINY" if they survive a nearby large explosion (singu/moho/detri/nuke).

I doubt all of these ideas can be done, but hopefully some can.

female units.

Different colours are hard to do because we want some consistency in weapon appearance. An explosion can't be blue, purple or green without having some sort of ingame significance.

- Nuclear missile rainbow trail.
Not the explosion, just the trail when it's flying. Doom flies to your enemies on multi-coloured fabulous wings of fire. Essentially the same appearance as a normal nuke but more colourful.

- Different terraform textures? Can that be done? Maybe have your terraformed ramp look like the walls of Minas Tirith or the Black Gate.
Makes recognising terraform a little bit harder, but it was pretty easy to detect before it even had a special texture.

- Skasi posted a 1-up-dirtbag in another thread. Maybe a dirtbag with pictures on its sides? Clan icon maybe?

- different colour for build skeleton. Blue?

but it's team-coloured already.

i'm sure all the terrajunkies would love that :D

Some more ideas:
1) special singularity reactor what has black sphere with glow instead of orange sphere with glow, and detonates with a black hole :)
2) alternative skins for other units, especially those that underwent model change recently. Old Rapier, etc?

This ticket business got me thinking...
A ticket. To change. Your forum avatar.

lucky's post made me laugh. But one mistake: the Ukraine is a game to you, not a joke to you.

Anarchid, not sure if you knew this but the singularity reactor once DID explode like a black hole, in CA sucking units toward it as they were reached by the a slow-expanding blast (its ARM counterpart exploded as a giant EMP). It didn't last long because people complained. But that's how it got its current name and fluff text, which mostly remained even when it went back to a regular nuke explosion.
