Heya. The basic concept behind the walker project is very cool. However it's lack of progression makes them fairly useless past the early game. (As they basically are basic light tanks.)

I wanted to suggest some improvements and expansions to the mod.

The addition of different "suspensions". See. I am unsure on how things would work with the doctrines and such, but the idea is that you can choose between a bipedal suspension, a quadpedal suspension and a hexapedal suspension. Each suspension type locks the walker to a own role. (Biped locking the walker role to "Light Walker" or "Recon Walker", with quadped locking it to "Medium Walker" or "Combat Walker" with the hexaped suspension locking it to the "Heavy Walker" or "Siege Walker" role. Each role giving you different stats. The heavier the walker, the less speed but the more armour for example.)

This could be combined with different walker turrets. Light walker turret being usable with bi, quad and hexa suspensions while only allowing light armaments. Medium walker turrets needing either quad or hexa suspensions, allowing for light and medium armaments with the heavy turret being exclusive to the hexa suspension.

Now, there should be some progression as well if you were to ask me. Maybe extra projects that unlock after you unlock the basic walker.

Such as "Early Walker Improvements" giving you the improved walker chassis and leg suspensions (Improved bipedal, quadpedal and hexapedal suspension.), "Advanced Walker Construction" giving you the advanced walker chassis and suspensions and "Modern Walker Warfare" giving you the modern walker chassis and suspensions.

That would add progression to the walkers while keeping it compatible with tech tree mods. (As it wouldn't modify the tech tree in any way.)

Of course it can be massively expanded as well if you want to cross the boundary with different custom walker guns that unlock as you research artillery, different modules as you research support companies and other techs, etc.


Anyways, thanks for reading and have a nice day. (This all ain't some criticism or me bashing the mod, just making suggestions on making more of the mod's potential.)
