wait. did you say it was powered by a nuclear reactor? I just thought of a way to make that look SUPER cool! if you can, put a little dome on top of the turret and put a rotating light effect around the rim of the dome. It would look like a nuclear fusion reaction chamber. I also have an idea for a space bar function, an EMP beam that comes out of that dome I was talking about. what it does is fire a big, fat, blue laser beam from the nuclear reactor up to the sky! the target you selected will have the big laser beam fall right on top of him! the idea is based on the particle cannon from command & conquer generals. look it up on youtube and you will know what im talking about.

EMP beam properties

Rate of fire: one shot makes the beam fire for 10 seconds.

Recharge time: 10 minutes.

Fire power: rematerialize on contact!

Effects to target: after being respawned from beam contact the target will be stunned for 1 minute.

Impact radius: about 10 times the surface area of the tank your driving!

Description: this highly effective beam is good for taking out a group of guards. because of how much power it consumes, after 1 shot you must go back to the respawn point to obtain a power container, after you get one you must wait 10 minutes to let the P-container recharge the coils in the nuclear reactor. during recharging you can continue to fight away from the respawn point. when recharging is complete you may fire the laser anytime and anywhere.

Targeting method: once you press space bar a crosshair will apear on the ground where the beam will fire. use the IJKL keys to move the crosshair around the battle zone. you can cancel the beam simply by pressing the space bar again (as long as you have not fired the beam yet).

HOLY FUDGE! EPIC!
