DSL IRL Building Guideline Suggestions

[NFX]

Humm maybe the solution is to significantly increase the hitpoints for chassis armor while decreasing the HP of motors, so ppl have incentive to actually keep them inside the chassis.

Also maybe converting all weapons into concussion, which will block off bot types like "SnS" and "Popups".  Damage will be much more momentum based like in real robot combats, not thousands of little spikes scrapping the target.

What do you guys think?  Would you guys like a mod like that?

Sounds pretty good to me. If it were possible to do something about the "lots of weapons at the same time do more damage than one" thing that RA2 does, that would also be fantastic, but since it's part of the .exe, it's just a pipedream for now.

Should just ban weapon stacking.....

but thatll just bring up the "olol weld rule" excuse

DSL enforce no stacking in alot of things (ex batteries, motors).  What part of no weapons can share the same collision box with another weapon is hard to understand?

I was thinking more along the lines of the rammers you see with a bunch of razors on the front and not much else. The weapons are still going to do amplified damage, even if they comply to the DSL no stacking rule.

Easy fix, make heavy weapon more efficient than light weapons.

A lot of the abuse now comes from Razor Tips and DS Light being Razor Tips and DS Light, while sledge hammer has crappy 300 dp and no additional efficiency.  You make the hammer have 500 dp while retaining it's HP, and all of a sudden heavy weapon becomes a lot more appealing.
