- The Plasma Launcher now fires its projectiles separately in a ‘round-robin’ fashion. You can pulse the trigger to fire one projectile at a time, or hold the trigger to unleash all your Power Bar in projectiles in a single clustered volley

...

- Tesla Blades are now only ‘open’ when they are selected, if you switch weapon they ‘close’
- Tesla’s do not have cooldowns at all and no longer get destroyed when you make contact with an enemy and no longer need you to heal them to regain their ‘ammo’
- Tesla Blades now act like futuristic chainsaws, so the longer you have them in contact with your enemy the more damage you will deal
- Each Tesla Blade that is in contact with an enemy will deal damage per second and consume Power at the same rate. The more Tesla’s you have the more damage per second you deal and the more Power per second you consume

- Added blink module
- Added disc shield

- All weapons have been significantly reworked to integrate them with the Power Bar and Loadout Systems
- The 6 gun limit has been removed, Recharge Times now decreased further when you add more than 6 weapons of some types (Rail, Laser, Plasma, Nano)

- Lasers are now real high velocity projectiles (as opposed to hitscan) and therefore you now need to ‘lead’ your target depending on its distance to you
- The damage of the Lasers has been increased to solidify the Laser as a close quarters weapon as it’s now much harder to hit distant and moving targets

- Rail Cannons now also fire round-robin, and you can fire as many as your Power will allow
- Rail Cannon shots are now real projectiles (i.e. no longer hitscan) and therefore users need to ‘lead’ their targets. The velocity of the Rail projectile is greater than the Laser.
- Rail Cannon damage is now applied in a more penetrative way, so ‘drilling’ into your target is more possible with Rail.

- Nano Disruptor fire their beams as short pulses in a ‘round robin’ fashion (as opposed to multiple beams at once)
- Additionally Nano’s will deliver significantly faster burst healrate if you add more to your Robot, but at the cost of depleting your Power quickly
- To compensate the Nano’s new burst heal potential the Nano’s no longer deal damage to enemies, they are exclusively heal only

- Firing weapons no longer resets the Health Regen cooldown timer, so now only taking damage prevents you from Regen

- All weapons now rotate their turret at the same speed, i.e. at the faster speed similar to that of the Laser
- Gun aiming no longer makes your guns point at your ally if they fly in front of the camera

- Added more servers and reduced the number of concurrent games on each server freeing up memory, CPU capacity and reducing the load ensuring a more consistent and lag free game experience

nice, man. asymmetry just isn't something i tend to consider, but i imagine legs + missiles + shields would be a good combo. it'd give you time to reload.

you should slap a disc shield module on it.

Mhmmm you better believe it (Click to Show)

I still haven't installed the game, but I want to make a Samurai style walker bot called Ronin.
Anyone have tips for balance or anything?

Quote from Scarecrow

ok folks, here's my latest bot.

i decided to try out a new structural design this time; it's more or less a layered honey comb structure. it's light, durable, breaks up in small bits instead of huge chunks when taking damage, and holds plenty of space inside the design for a lot of thrusters.

since i'm primarily using tesla blades as a weapon, i was using the teleporter module for a while... but i decided that it wasn't predictable or fast enough to be worthwhile, and replaced it with more thrusters, blades, and a few electroplates.

so far, this is working really well. it can take a beating, it's effective at reasonable range, and the blades do tons of damage.

Quote from Scarecrow

also, i've started color coding my thrusters so i can tell at a glance which directions i can still move it. it's been very helpful.
