I agree with these stats. Simple but fair, and still different and usable in multiple situations. The only downside is you have to be sure the sentry is in a spot you want it to be before you put it down and upgrade it, instead of keeping it at the spawn and upgrading it then moving it up to the frontlines.

I think what we need to bear in mind here is balance. Let's come up with ideas to not make it OP, but not render it useless. I would see this in the same family as the mini-sentry: No upgrades, no reparing, just refill ammo, and a bit smaller than the regular sentry.
I suggest the following:
+Can be built on walls and ceilling
+Fires in every direction
-50% damage voun.
-15% range.
-15% slower firing speed.

Yeah I think that Pros:

+ Sticks to surface
+ Smaller than standard sentry (lvl 1 is mini-sentry sized and the hit box is only that bit)

Cons:
- immovable
- Only upgrades to lvl 2 (wich would be smaller than a lvl 2 regular, but probably larger than a regular lvl 1 - this increases the hit box)

and is then attached to a Cc weapon like the mini-sentry is (depriving the engineer of other usefull wrenches) is pretty balanced, considering that putting it in harder to reach places like the ceiling make it harder to upgrade and repair, but also harder to reach to sap and that the fact that it will no longer be a physical obstruction (which does matter- trying to sneak past a sentry nest as a cloaked spy becomes a bit easier) if it's on the ceiling.

Edit: Actually faster turn speed would be useful so maybe also:
+ faster turn speed

- 10% less sentry health

perhaps if it had lower firing rate and had slwer react time? then it could be upgraded?
TheRageMage 27 Apr, 2014 @ 2:54pm 
give it a different top than the normal sentry head.

stats:
+sticks to walls ( not ceilings)
+on level three, it fires a slowish projectile that does 150 damage in a AoE
-projectile can be reflected
-takes critical hits
-10% slower fire rate

+can be repaired and upgraded at an extended range

-can be sapped at an extended range
-cannot build teleporter
-can only upgrade to level 2

+Sticks to any surface.
+Can be placed at extened range
+Can be upgraded/repairded at extened range.

-Does not inform you when building is taking damage
-Falls off wall or ceiling if Sentry health drops below 35%
