[REL][SC2]Experimental Defense Towers

[:1]Adds an experimental defense tower to each fraction.
    Cybran tower has flame weapon and a small bouncer shield.
    Illuminate tower has a beam weapon and a small bubble shield .
    UEF tower has a gauss weapon and a small bubble shield.
    All towers have long range, area damage and are anti air and land.
    Can be built on water.

I used a larger version of existing models.
Find it in the experimental build tab.
To install, copy the file into your /gamedata directory.
Remove old version if previously installed.
V1.11 Changes:
    Balance changes - damage and damage area slightly reduced.
    Illuminate weapon changed, the old version looks too much like the Loyalty Gun.
    Fixed minor issue preventing unit from showing in debug mode spawn list.
    Icons changed slightly.

V1.1 Changes:
    Cybran weapon changed from lasers to flame.
    UEF weapon changed to gauss.
    Illuminate shield research requirement removed.

Only 2 problems I see so far is with the cyb experimental tower. The two beams seem to be too wide apart to be able to be contact the regular sized units. The units just go right in between the two beams with no damage.
Also another problem with the same tower is the range. It seems the lasers only go 2/3 the distance as the range shows. The lasers just end up in a cloud of smoke at the end of it. So at the end, the lasers are trying to shoot a unit within its range, but the lasers dont reach. Hope to see this mod fixed! I like it a lot!!
Other than that, this is a pretty cool mod!!|||Could you post some pics?
Cool mod tho.

as for LAN games; I doubt that it would cause a desync, but there's only one way to find out.|||BulletMagnet|||as long as the people playing the game have the same mod it shouldn't get screwed up, both me and mike tested this when i added our Basilisk to SC2|||Lt_hawkeye|||Enyth|||shinytoaster|||I really like this mod and has a ton of potential. After playing about a dozen games against the AI, the towers are simply over powered with the area of effect damage, high rate of fire, low cost, buildable immediately in the game and that it can attack air and land targets.
Since they are greater in power (especially for defense) than experiementals, they should cost about 2500 mass and 6000 energy.
Build 1 to 3 towers with a couple shields, they are damned near impossible to destroy.
My 2 cents.|||it doesnt have anti nuke :P|||kreyson|||I was messing around with new PD/AA a few weeks ago as well.

^Pic of it frying a transport.^
You could easily add a research requirement to unlock them as well.|||It will be great if you add it as a research item. Make it the last tier along the arti line.|||I'd like to see a research requirement as well for it. I'd also love to see the AI using this in the future.
Thanks for the mod! :)|||shinytoaster|||Awesome mod man, makes a nice meat-grinder skirmish that much easier. Although I did find that the trails lagged up my comp to hell when there was like 100+ towers firing. So I doubled the range, damage and decreased the fire rate 400%. So slow firing, long range, hard hitting missiles. Gained about 20fps.
Keep up the good work!|||can you try and get it to work with a mod manager like this one
