We need more BW's.
« on: August 24, 2012, 07:26:04 PM »
Starcore is currently the AI pack to my knowledge with any BW's. I have Provided more AW AI opponents with the release of the Stock Mini's AI pack, so maybe we need to work on a BW pack of some sort.

I was thinking that we could add an AW, BW and another bot to each Re-stocked team, I already have plenty of combat worthy AW's that can be re-skinned and re-named for the Re-Stocked AI pack. Perhaps we can make a brand new AI pack with AW's and BW's.

We need more BW's to even things up a little more.

BWs in stock are an endangered species, but in DSL there are plenty. Just check out BW Bash for proof.

I know, BW's in stock can be varied and the ones in starcore really don't vary that much. I really wish I still had my BW VS:

The weapon and wedge were both on a blue snapper. I made it 4 years ago so by today's standards it can be improved. I'm positive that there are lots of great BW's that haven't even been built yet.


Redbird of Unhapiness and halftone could be used in a BW pack.

BW's in stock are waaaay better than AW's. Just enough weight for multiple designs, enough lack of weight for the difficulty of doing so.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Ian is right, Because even Stock AW has been more popular than Stock BW in these past few years atleast.

Perhaps a "Stock Micro" pack is in order with all BW's based on popular stock robots lol. I still think we should just make 15 BW's for each Re-Stocked team.

I think the ReStocked BW idea sounds great and that you should probably keep it to a separate AI pack until the actual ReStocked is done first. Then, the BWs can be added as extra content, and hopefully AWs and SHWs will come sometime after, or even along with them if you'd like. Since 15 bots honestly isn't much (2 and a half teams) and BWs don't take long to build, you could probably do a pack by yourself or with a tiny bit of public assistance, and just accept whatever gets submitted if it's good enough. I guess you could put in AWs and/or SHWs in the pack as well, but then you might actually need to put together a team working on the pack. I guess whether you want to try to get BWs done first or work on and accept bots for all three weight classes at once in that case is up to you.
