New Building Idea : Juggernaut Gantry / Master Assembly

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

With the recent update , the number of the Juggernauts steadily increasing. So i thought on a new building. 

Theese are new two Tier 4 buildings, the Juggernaut Gantry for the PCH, and the Master Assembly for the Substrate.  Building Juggernauts require theese 2 building , but an extra feature it can construct Juggernauts faster than Dread Lauch /Adv. Assembly, and dreadnoughts as well , of course for draining resources faster.

Any comments ?

I'd be alright with them being moved to their own building altogether.

A juggernaut drydock building.

OK, I'm going to be the Negative NellyTM:

With so few Dreadnaughts and Juggernauts combined, I don't really see this adding anything to the game. At the moment, there's two Juggernauts and three Dreadnaughts. Having a building to produce just two units would be borderline insulting. I can perhaps see an "upgrade" to the existing structure that allows faster build times on Dreadnaughts, and unlocks Juggernaut production (Would require locking Juggernaut production on the base building). But not entirely separate structures.

Originally Juggernauts were planned to be built directly on the ground from Engineers instead of the Dread Factories, but there isn't the UI space to do that properly. If we get build menus or Tier 2 Engineers we could go back to that design

Aw, that'd be damn cool. Both in terms of "build Juggernauts on the ground" and in terms of "tier 2 engineers".

Meh. It's really fine as-is using the same dreadnought launch building. As of 2.6, building faster / draining resources faster is accomplished by adding more and more engineers to the building.
