Sounds awesome.  As for tunneling, I've actually written my much-maligned 
uberprop not including your tunneling, but in such a way that implementing 
something your tunneling wouldn't break a good part of the rules, require a 
rewrite of the rules nearly as big as the uber itself, or confuzzle the heck 
out of the players.  Or a combination.

I look foreward to such things with great interest.  Whether or not my uber 
helps them along.
