      SCUs are the T3 sparky, they are just not currently balanced into the game anywhere. There's numerous ways they could be integrated into either the T2 or T3 stage, but it doesn't fit with the scope or capabilities of the current game/balance teams.

        Sparky sacu preset for uef

        Doesn't have drone but more build power, a weaker gun that can be used while building and jamming

          To make up for sera's having less experimentals than the other factions the Seraphim Ythotha's get the customizable keyword, and now have upgrades like a SACU turning them into a giant late game swiss army knife. Upgrades could include an experimental build suite path, potentially a RAS path, and a RAMBO Ythotha upgrade path that adds even more guns than it's already cataclysmic 3 or 4, including potentially a experimental overcharge suite, experimental regen aura, a experimental AA lightning cannon that can blap ASF's, aswell as atleast 2 more standard fairing options for enhanced damage that maybe just add a new gun, also maybe a shield upgrade potentially... details pending, it'd take time to work it out obviously.. maybe a unique upgrade that enhances the ion storm too? no tele though... as cheeky as teleporting a upgraded Ythotha into a your opponents T3 artillery battery would be, it would be extremely rage inducing and not at all fun for anyone besides the sera player, lol. In general I like this idea because it takes what seems like on its surface the most disposable of all of the T4's, in a faction that is short on T4's and fills it with depth. Other factions get more experimentals than the seraphim, so it would only seem fair to go ahead and give the seraphim a few more fun late game experimental options.

            Now that's necroposting.

            The idea of having a customizable experimental is pretty funny though.

                  @indexlibrorum maybe a little bit of a necro post sorry. I just think it kinda plays into the "experimental" aspect of the t4's. you get to play around/ experiment with the design of your giant death bot before you wheel it out into a bank of ravagers.

                      @snoog No, Fatboy is a flat surface where you can build anything on it. Static shield, anti nuke, mavor, etc.
