Nuclear Silo - idea for the new weapon for Marines

Hi,
this is my first post here. I also didn't know where exactly I should place this thread so I decided to make it in Fan-Fiction site.
Okay, let's get to the business :). I have an idea for UWE to add new weapon/building for Marines. This is my concept of this:
- Commander can build it as a normal structure, but you need at least two "chairs" for that. It will be quite expensive.
- Function of Nuclear Silo (ideas, choose which one are better):
+ Can generate power for other structures in area like a battery for turrets
+ It dosent let build a cysts in vicinity
+ It could also produce a radiation which wound aliens
+ Nuclear weapon (bomb) which cost a lot to detonate by comm, but destroys everything in room. I'm thinking to use it in a late games as a sneaky nuclear drops in aliens bases :P.
I have no artwork concept, but maybe somebody will share my enthusiasm :).

I think UWE could also make a new toy for marines, gas masks, to defend against lerk gas. Cost would be the same like a welder :) avaiable in armory.
Cheers! :D

    Nah, too potentially powerful/abusable. (EVERYTHING IN A ROOM?! Even marines? Herp derp khermander, hop in, blowest up thine nuke!)

    I dont think we need gas masks.
    We already have fm against lerks gas.
    Poor lerks, they have problem in late game and if we adds this...x_x

    gas sucks enough as is, the lerk has such a subtle diet, and it cant fart enough gass to kill marines efficiently. and it's very tiring.

    The nutritional value of a marine just is not high enough. The lerks get their iron requirements from the armor though, lots of it.

    Rather than killing everything in a room, why not an EMP effect... it wouldn't be a nuclear silo then however :P

    Needs building + charging + if killed could short-circuit power?



    Also, lerk spikes could embed in marines and slow them down... (as a silly idea).

    What this game needs is a lazer gun. How can you be marines fighting aliens in space with no pew pew, its just criminal...
