Short version:
Modular trench parts for engineers, wich take around 5-10 second to build, and are about 5-10 meters long, they would take 1-3 resource points.
Long version:
I would wish for an ability to build trench segments for engineers. What I mean by that is, that the have things like
Open ways (and maybe roofs they can place over the trench), angled trench segments, trench segments, wich split into more ways.
They would not have any offensive capabilitys.
It would be a modular system with pieces about the size of 5-10 meters. They would be bearly covering the soilder’s heads so they cant be shot that easily.
These segments would take around 5-10 seconds to build depending on the type.
The trenches could only be built on grass, dirt , gravel, sand. No hard surfaces like concrete.
They would take up 1-3 resource points from the engineer building them. the logic behind that is that there would be for example wooden, or metalic reenforcments on the walls of the trenches.
The segments would be available in a sub-menu of the building menu of the engineer’s hammer.
the builder of the trench would get some amount of points if there is a rally point, wich spawns your teammates in it, your teammates stay for some time (for example: Your teammates have to stay in it for about 20 seconds, than the builder would get some point. It would count for the total time your teammates were in it. Not the time of a single teammate, resetting as soon as they leave).
*The things mentioned here are just rough ideas
I am aware that there are shovels in the game, but to be honest, they are basicly useless: it takes way to long to dig out any significant thing. By the time you have, the objective, which you are building around has long been captured.
There have been posts like this one before, but I would wish to revive that idea.
