Eradicator Concept

Yet another Substrate unit that looks just like all the others!

Substrate are getting a ranged Cruiser class unit shortly.

Very nice unit i like the sniper rail,well done.

Im the only that see units be diferent !!!

Every unit its diferent .

Ok dont have legs yet  and need a bit tune here and there with a bit more personality, in future all is possible , but they all are very well done and diferent  (my personal opinion )  ,

You're probably not the only one, but the list of people who can't does include a certain Gamespot reviewer...

I actually don't want units to have legs or treads. These units are supposed to be the best of the best, so, tell me how legs are better than being able to hover?

Hovering can do anything that legs can and more. 

I love the design and would love to have more ^^

Tho I did notice you didn't mention the other one much, nor is there concept art. 

Terrain wise, if hovering units can't climb steep hills, or work in overly soft ground, there are considerations to having technologically inferior, but tactically useful modes of transportation, including wide track vehicles and spiderbots.  Bipedal would never make sense since these aren't actual people driving them.  Gravity channeling could require a firm, relatively flat surface, and make room for numerous alternative applications.

The third faction was stated as not using the same technology for transit a while back too.

Well, I can see how a steep hill wouldn't be easy, but the soft ground would work better for a hovering unit. Like, just floats over the ground while something else could get slowed or even stuck. 

We haven't really seen the hovering capabilities as far as I know, like can they hover over water? If so then swamps and mud shouldn't be an issue. As for hills, do they hover by pushing from the ground under the tech or from the gravitational center? If its from the ground under it, there should be no issue with even being upside down since it 'attaches' to the ground under it rather than the gravitational core (planet core)

And please do tell about the third! Can't wait to see

So you guys are giving a Nemesis to substrate? It don;t think its a good idea

You are definitely not alone, actually after playing a few games it was relatively quick and easy to distinguish all the units from each other... there are games I had more trouble with this. I do like the design overall.

nice to see such a unique unit

The Eradicator isn't like the Nemesis.  For one, it lacks the range.  Second, it doesn't have nearly the power.  

The Eradicator, however, can target things that are within sensor range which is quite nice.

Is it just me or does this unit look like someone took the Seraphim Experimental Bomber from Forged Alliance and made it float instead of fly.  The similarities look almost intentional....which is fine because that bomber was slick looking.

Hi Frogboy,

you you know, when the eridicator gets his attack on radar contact

Take away the rail and I could see it.
