Greetings Naryar.

I'm impressed by DSL 3.0 and I am tempted to make something over the weekend.

[Naryar]

actually DSL3 beta has horrid balance, you may want to try nar ai 3 beta

*shameless promotion*

Oh man, wishlist time! Here's mine;
- Removal of casters as they're not really seen on bots too often, or at least make the casters more mortal.
- Snap motors which have two buttons so you can let attachments swing two ways (probably hard to balance since it has basically doubled utility compared to single-way snap motors but what do I know).
- General UI improvements, buttons, graphics, stuff that people could easily do themselves but would be nice to be included by default. (softer gradients, a bit more modern style overall)

Edit: Not sure if this is already in the beta, I can't quite tell, but I'm also suggesting the removal of the inverted controls whenever you're on top of another bot.

New weapons. I'm tired of the same old weapons from stock. On that note, improve parts such as Fireaxe, Standard Axe, Pickaxe, etc. or just get rid of them altogether.

A few things, myess...

- Center attachment points for the DSL end bars (20 to 30, 30 to 40, 20 to 40)
- Perm drive motors, because I am insane
- Maybe angled axles for the NPC motors, or a way to add a gearbox?
- Edge attachment points for the armor plates

And maybe some improvements to the tank tracks, but I have a feeling I'm the only one who uses those.

EDIT: And find a way to make the game not mess with my system volume settings!

EDIT PART DEUS: And maybe a way to attach two motors to a disk/drum/bar/what have you.

[playzooki]

I agree. Make tank tracks on par with wheels.

The two I put in red are not possible due to restraints in the source code of the game. The other one will most likely be happening.

Not that it's on topic, but you guys do know why click used a triforce theme for dsl3, right? It's kinda obvious...

Isn't that a Legend Of Zelda thing?

LoZ is associated with it but the reason why he used the triforce is because it's dsl3

a triforce has 3 triangles in it. It's like the epitome of the number 3 lol

The original mod also had three people working on it until tragedy struck. That was before my time.

Anyways, maybe tweaking the drums a bit, or the Perm axles. I had to use an ant blade as a spacer.

[helloface]

Stronger servos. I don't even know why we have servos in DSL2. Make the servos be able to easily lift a CW, but make it really slow.

[playzooki]

Make the beta burst more powerful. Can barely flip a HW

[Galacticruler]

Hate to....well it wouldn't be much of a bump....well still.

1. A faster/stronger locking mag.
2. a locking Etek & Etek Drive.
3. pre-angled 22.5° tri-bars.
4. some form of high-capacity, low output battery.
5. cannons. and some bots that use them(?)(could live without)
6. MOAR WEAPONS
