    hi,new weapons are really cool and does decent dmg as well.But what about old weapons?Old weaps are:boring in most of cases,boring and useless upgrades ecc.
    I think that some weaps can be really cool with just a small edit.Here my ideas of weapons edits:

    cactus strike:when the flare touches a tank it does 10 dmg and stick to it because it's a cactus!that would make this weap better and sligthly funnier to use
    static,static link,static chain:so static chain can hit 4 tanks,100 dmg is good but considerating that doing 100 dmg with is really really really rare,i think that every tier should do + 5 dmg and
    -static would take 4 tanks istead 3
    -static link would take 5 tanks istead 3
    -static chain take would take 6 tanks istead 4
    water balloon: this weap,for some reason,isn't shoted like a normal shot......it's like a random bloon aim for water fight upgrade but,beeing just 1 balloon in the first tier,plz can it go straigth just like all other 1 shot weapons?
    attractoids: it wouldn't be affected by wind cause:
    -some auto aim weaps like bounder are not affected by wind
    -magnetic power should be stronger than wind,infact this weap works like that:you press fire,the game aims all the attracoids and then it shots thems to the enemy but in reality it wouldn't work like that,this are magnets it isn't a pinpoint or a sniper shot.
    squadron: i have unlocked it but honestly i think that it should do a little more dmg considerating that in close range it is weaker than previous 2 tiers.I think that the first shot should be a gold one that does x5 dmg of the normal dmg.That would make this weap look even cooler and it would be alaways stronger than previous tiers(that would also makes people be a little more accurate with that)
    solar flare:just like ssl2 make the 30 dmg blasts bounce also in the upper part of the screen not only on left and rigth parts.
    asteroid storm:in most of cases this weapon is weaker than comets,i think that this asteroids should leave flames cause ,when an asteroid fall on earth, it burns for high speed + air effect.that upgrade would make this weap stronger than previous tiers and would give to SSL some more physics.
    shooting star:same logic of asteroid storm
    bound strike,stream,storm: plz make this weap a little better,it is hard to upgrade and upgrades are weaker than previous weapons :/
    puzzler,deceiver,baffler: the first shot of that weap isn't the same of the normal "shot weapon" the dmg range is a bit smaller plz if you have to put a troll weapon make the troll part good!
    bouncy ball: make it bounce on screen sides just like ssl2! it alaways goes off screen and,if ssl2 does that,why not ssl steam?
    ufo: this upgrade is useless,what about making that shot extra rays similar to god rays?this rays would be blue and do 4 dmg each,the blue ligth strike would last longer
    mega quake: after a big earthquake there are other smaller ones after,then i think that this weap should do 15 + 5 dmg

    -I think doing 4 static links is easy as long as they're all within an inch of each other.
    -Water balloon being weighted is realistic
    -Great Idea with the mega quake, but do you mean 15, and then 5 the next turn? or 20 all in one turn? because if you mean the latter that kind of defeats the idea. This would be great for those turns you think you're about to die, because the turn after when you're dead you still deal dmg.

    Shadow: does not bounce off of any bounders. I don't think it's realistic that as shadow would bounce.

    This actually gives me an idea for the game.
    I might make it another thread, but what if there were "Prestige Weapons"
    ... and not "prestige" levels, but suppose you upgraded your Air Strike to an Artillery, you would then have the option to reset the leveling so you'd be back to an Air Strike.
    Once you got back up to Artillery, there would be a fifth upgrade unlocked as well. This would be the "Prestige Weapon"
    These weapons would be by no means extremely powerful or instant win if a player obtains them, but they would rather just be a really awesome weapon that would motivate other players to go for.

    If people think this is a good idea, I might make a thread and list the Prestige Version of each weapon, if not, I won't waste my time

    Brilliant ideas here, penguin :)
    Some feedback:

    Cactus Strike: Sounds fun, also makes it more powerful b/c it can land directly on tanks, even if they're on an 80' wall.
    Static, Static Link/Chain: More damage would be nice, but need to be careful with this one. If it linked to more than 4 tanks in a 4v4 team game, it will harm teammates without a doubt.
    Water Balloon: I actually kinda wish more weapons had a random feel to them like water balloon.
    Attractoids: I see your point here!

    Asteroid Storm: This weapon seems balanced enough, though it rarely does max damage (120).
    Shooting Star: Please never change this weapon. The luck required for this is too funny c:
    UFO: More damage could be in order, I agree
    Mega Quake: Sounds good; crits will vary this weapon's damage too.

    Water Balloon is not random. It is weighted. It may seem random because a certain aim and power with water balloon won't get you where it would with most shots, but it's not.

    seems pretty random to me. Sometimes it goes farther than normal, sometimes not as far.

    Thx all for feedback,you have very good ideas as well!however for mega quake i was thinking the same turn dmg,that would make it:
    -like ssl2 lvl 1 form base dmg like most of weaps does(dunno why mega quake and quake aren't)
    -make this weapon cool,i mean an earth quake weapons should be a bit cooler
    ps:goomba make the thread! your ideas are alaways welcome in forum(with your great artworks as well)
