My sheer weight and width stop me from flipping. I'll go head first over a cliff and land it perfectly flat.

I usually do this too and end up flat anyway. This tactic is funny since the guy below doesn't know that a tank just fell on him, raining lasers from high.

Keep in mind guys they're updating tomorrow and the update will reduce the cost of all armor by 20%.

So save up now and buy later.

Oh they're going to do it tomorrow? Sweet. Phase 1 was respawning right? Can't wait for the Fusion Towers and Overcharges.

Add me to the IGN list please,

Thanks.

News, apparently they had bad internet problems yesterday and so for the new update we may be waiting until tomorrow.

But it could still be today if they can get it ready quickly.

I'm pretty solidly in T8 right now, I may be able to put together a T6 or T5 and roll with you though.

So after all the designing and tweaking a man can handle, I finally came across a design that I'm mostly satisfied with. So here's a pic of my T8 money maker.

T8 Vaccine (Click to Show)

I average 9-12k rp on a win and 4-6k on a loss.
It's so good that once I finalize it I'll probably add it to the first post and give it a permanent spot in my garage.

I guess I wasn't joking, look at the top right.

This thing made Tier 8 my bitch. After around 300k in upgrades I finally got my RP up to my first million. The bot itself is probably already worth a million.

Come update time, I'm swapping ALL the tier 7 armor out for tier 8 armor. Which by my calculations will cost about half a million. Then I get to spend the other half a million making it tier 9.

Edit @Devour: Sorry bro, I'm going to bed soon. You should post the upgrades you made to your bot so I can see them in the morning.

Spider bros 4 lyfe.

Jeebus. 1M.

On average I get like 300 to 4k every round.

Excited for the update too. Respawns all around :D

New game mode is out. I've played on every map a couple times. Two things!

1: Throw away your tank treads, they're too fucking slow, way too fucking slow. Use any other kind of movement over treads.

2: Balance out your armor, now you're more liable to be hit from behind or on top. Especially as the game goes on and people learn your bot and its weak spots.

I have an idea for a flying smg walker that uses like 9 radar jammers. I could fly inside fusion towers and cling to the inside of the dish and shoot them down from the inside.

Hey guys, I want to make one of those floating snipers. You know, those annoying little things that can sniper-shot you?
But I also want it to be able to move. Have any suggestions? And how do you do it?

You wont be able to do a lot in the new game mode.

I think the general consensus is that everyone hated sky snipers.

NOOOOOOOOO
Ok I will do the 2nd best move. Can I make a land sniper?

Hell yeah man, rail guns are important to have.

Either I go for an SMG Cruiser again or an Interceptor. Gonna lean more on interceptor.

so i played the new game mode for a bit

found that:
- nobody wants to play as a sniper any more because they're the absolute worst for destroying structures (you always end up reloading just as the enemy rocks up to stop you from destroying it)
- there's a ton of flyers just waiting to take advantage of your team's lack of snipers... so if you DO have a good sniper you have a huge advantage
- medics aren't really as useful when you can usually just go into your base and heal up... or die and respawn. medi guns are also mediocre for destroying structures

i ended up changing up my ski bot a bit... it still has a fuckton of tesla blades and hits 200mph whenever it feels like it, but now i've got a few cannons as well. so i'm a high speed hit and run vehicle now. looks like i'm best suited to defending, abusing my speed to get to points to protect them, murdering a guy or two while they're distracted, then returning to base and healing before doing that all again.

i did try sniping for a bit but it just didn't work out with my skis. i think if you do choose to snipe in the new game mode, the key point is to not try to take points. you provide your allies with cover fire, while THEY take points, instead. you're all likely to live a lot longer that way.

anyway, i'm still T8 for now. once i can afford some more t9 cubes i'll probably be able to join you guys.

So far in the new game, I kept my tank treads and I've survived long enough to capture points [though there are bugs that cause a fusion tower to not be captured AT ALL despite having no crystals left]. I'm thinking of redesigning the entire tank later on though, to keep up with the times.

I agree with the railgun vehicles. I once played against a team mostly composed of flyers that decimated us. We could shoot them out of the sky but not as much as they took us out. They got to shut down our shields more than twice that round.

The good thing is that the RP and Tech Points haul is a lot, getting a bit beefier on the tech side of things will be a bit easier.

Scarecrow, you need to hit tier nine so I can you you how amazingly effective my medic is you cheeky cunt :rolleyes:
