I feel like the missile interception is so powerful an ability that if you completely yank out the buildpower from the current state of Funnelweb, it will still be built in FFA for the antimissile role, and in teams for antinuke defense. I weakly suspect that you could even rip out every one of its legs and turn it into a building, and it would still be built for antimissile job.

On further thought, i would say that merely having that ability will distort any design that has it. I think that a funnelweb with an assault shield thus has several ways to exist (barring solutions like "remove the shield").

1) Accept being distorted by the missile interception role. This is the current state. This also means that the unit will not be very strong at any other role, unfortunately.

2) Try to minimize the missile interception role while keeping the antimissile shield. I think this requires massive nudges equivalent in magnitude to turning the unit into a Detriment with a shield bolted on top.

3) Configure the assault shield to be unable to intercept tactical missiles in some way. Examples could be an arc shield, or a low-thickness high-regen shield.

[q]I see a 4000 metal cost Funnelweb (the price of a singu that would have paid for itself in overdrive in 4 minutes), in its 10 minutes of existence, reclaim around 2000 metal that was already being reclaimed by multiple caretakers and constructors, move forwards a bit against a retreating enemy and then die when it discovered it had advanced too far and was too slow to retreat.[/q]

Correct, using the unique missile defense unit for reclaiming like every other constructor is a mistake equivalent to using the unique anti-heavy ambush unit to kill mainly raiders. It does not however follow that the 2500 metal antiheavy unit is a noob trap.

(Wait till someone tries to build the 3000 metal anti-nuke system to stop regular artillery...)

Are Funnelwebs viable outside FFA?
