Title: Stock or DSL: Which is better?
Post by: Hydro on April 26, 2009, 07:19:33 PM: Is stock or DSL better in your opinion?

Post by: Urjak on April 26, 2009, 07:20:25 PM: In my opinion, DSL is better due to the originality of the designs and the fact all components can be used effectively.

Post by: R1885 on April 26, 2009, 07:22:27 PM: Depends. For those who want to build the most outrageous bots, stockman is god. For those who want to be in reality, its DSL.

Post by: Hydro on April 26, 2009, 07:37:23 PM: hmm... i was thinking stock was more realistic...

Post by: ianh05 on April 26, 2009, 07:55:05 PM: DSL, it takes time to get use to as i found out but the components are much more balanced and there's a lot more components. the robots are also more realistic which is great cause i was getting tired of seeing stacked hs's all the time.

Post by: Hydro on April 26, 2009, 07:59:04 PM: This is true. DSL does have better, more true-to-life components.

and i did made a thread like that months ago.

Post by: philetbabe on April 27, 2009, 09:05:46 AM: With less components, Stock is easier to begin with, but soon, we get bored with the native bots or discouraged with the too hard bots of Starcore.

RAGE represents a very good alternative for middle level bot builder (I highly recommand it !)

DSL impresses first with its huge amount of components, but it is really not for beginner who feels quiclky lost. Good builders may feel also a little annoying with the native bots : Thanks to bbean delivery (and the futur Naryar pack ?) there is still challenging bots.

So i should vote for Stock if i was a beginner or a genious builder, and DSL as a good-but-nos-so-good builder... i did vote DSL

Post by: Urjak on May 23, 2009, 08:53:28 PM: Some of us? Try almost all of us.
Title: Stock or DSL: Which is better?
Post by: JoeCB1991 on May 23, 2009, 08:56:38 PM: DSL, because it mixes the creativity of what you can do with Stock, with the possibility of creating some great realistic robots.

And, I am much better with DSL than I am with stock so that helps too.

Post by: Starcore on May 24, 2009, 01:35:25 AM: Happy to see this question still being asked.

As the father of the Starcore Packs and orginal CEO of DSL am am very pleased people are still playing both. And yes stock has benefits for those getting started and those wanting challenge competing with the original developed parts. While DSL was created to bring more realistic parts and options to the playing field.

You are all doing great carrying the torch. I can wonder what would be happening these days if hadn't done the Starcore Packs or DSL?

Starcore

Post by: H@zm47 on May 24, 2009, 07:12:00 AM: I like DSL better truthfully.
I can't get the hang of using some of the glitches in stock so I prefer DSL where glitches aren't supposed to be exploited as much as in stock.
