Modified Siege Tank - Darian Ramos

Modified Siege Tank - Darian Ramos [Strength] {long range - artillery}

Darian used to be a succesfull tank commander for the Confederacy under the command of general Duke, if it wasn't for his tendecy to disobey commands from his superiors. after he was fired from the Confederate army he roamed around varying Terran worlds where he eventually crossed with Raynor at the Shau Sara bar. After having a short and pointless fistfight, Raynor heard of Ramos' roaming around and Raynor asked wether the man had some "spare time on his hands for a job". Darian accepted the job Raynor offered as long as he could get something to eradicate enemies with. And from that point on they modified an impounded and old Arclite Siege Tank. The machine was outfitted with a custom Rocket Launcher system which could be used as artillery-weapon. Darian was about to use his newly crafted machine for a testround.

1) AA Mode (active, mode change) - Next to the GtG rocket attack, the Siege Tank has still some of it's old traits. The tank can similarly unfold ground footing and brace itself, additionally the rocket turret can be redirected with a dual longbold missile launcher to target aircrafts in a long range.

2) Spider-fire (point blank 360 aoe) - When using the Spider-fire attack, the turret rotates at a fast speed around it's axis firing a missile at every 1/8 of a 360 degrees circle

3) Advanced Robotics (self buff, upgrade) - After this very expensive upgrade is purchased and upgraded, the tank can wear off EMP based attacks in just a few seconds. Also the EMP rounds which are used by Ghosts can only affect the tank for 2 or 3 seconds of inactive state. This technology was created in coöperation with the Protoss.

4) Targetting Laser (buff to allies, 75 energy) - A little new trait this old Siege Tank has received is the usage of a targetting laser that allows allies to better concentrate their weaponsfire onto the targetted enemy. Allies do a x% more damage to a target which is pointed with the Targetting Laser. The laser operates for x seconds and has a medium cooldown (not energy related).

5) Steel Grinders (self repair) - The Arclite is also outfitted with a huge grinder mounted in the front of the machine. when it runs into any building or mechanical vehicle, Darian can grind metal plating from the target and repair his own vehicle with it. For every 10 damagepoints dealt, Darians health is restored by +1. The grinder does 12 damage per second and is continuous for as long as darian is in melee with a viable enemy. (it is an active target-selection ability).

U) Fast-fire barrage (artillery, aoe) - For sure the Fast-fire system is the most powerful of Darians capabilities. By supercharging (or better said, overcharging) the rocketsystem, Darian can fire rockets at rapid speed (and long range) for as long as he wants to. The drawback of this is that overcharging his weapons will cause damage over time to his own vehicle.
