Also is it me or Tier 3 increases your earnings ?

It's not about tier but about the components' level used. Higher tiers logically have bots with better guns, armor and so on. Destroying better equipment gives you more RP than destroying less upgraded stuff.

It's not the kills or base captures that give you the most earnings. It's the amount of cubes you shoot off.

Also, how do they figure Bravery points?

Now that my hovercraft is mostly orange, I can rebuild my tank in green, and it's even more durable than ever.




Specs
Multi layered barriers for diverting damage around gun blocks and pilot
No Frontal Gun block
Outer and upper layer build with "inner" while lower and inner layer are build with "cubes".  This creates a mass difference that increases handling.
Good crosshair line of sight.

No, Higher Tier increase earning.  I can just base rush and earn 2k at Tier 8 without firing a single shot.

Now that it's greened out, probably not that much of a glass cannon. Although, at ~t6 with only green and orange armor, I can't imagine that it's armor > firepower

The Arrogance is only t5 and it barely survives a fight with a fellow t5 tank, and it's fully greened out with hints of orange

Also, what is up with 'Inner' and 'Cubes'? Component armor vs actual cube armor?

Because how you build it makes a difference.  Having multiple non connected layers means it will take that many hits for a shot to actually hit a vital part. 

"Inner" and "Cube" are two different components.  Inner are the cube with a trimmed corner.  It still comes with 6 connection points, so you can just rotate it to hide the trimmed corner.  A cube weights 5kg while an inner weights 3.35, it makes a difference because this game is actually sensitive to weight and balance.

I will not reduce my venerable Fortress of Arrogance to such distortion of reality, warped wretch! Yeah I realize that, but it's fun.

Ah, I see. I figured by 'inner' you meant component armor like how the higher tier fliers have the massive jets protecting their pilot block because they have asstons of health.

My next tank will do all the armor sorcery and black magic though.

Tier 1? I probably didn't notice because the thing I'd made was horrible to control and all my time was spent trying to work it out :c

My tier 2 thing likes to steer right for no reason....

Did some updates to the Man of Pepsi.


Time for the grind. Gotta get all the gold armor.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Didn't know that but I know that better components do appear to give more RP if destroyed. In one battle I destroyed a red/blue cubed enemy. I lost that battle but I gained insane amounts of RP compared to the usual.

It's not about tier but about the components' level used. Higher tiers logically have bots with better guns, armor and so on. Destroying better equipment gives you more RP than destroying less upgraded stuff.

Well I have a theory about that. While playing with another guy that was interested in some physics testing, I noticed that you can't quit the game under enemy fire (thank god). So I suppose that at the same time you start earning bravery RP, which is basically how long you survive while under fire. I don't know exactly how much you earn at a given moment but it should also vary according to the tier you're in.

I don't think so, i've received bravery points without ever being shot...

I think it's how long you move towards the enemy and how long you play. Maybe how fast you are as well.

I made a Tier 2 version of my tank to play with my friends.  Although I must admit, using this in a Tier 1-2 game isn't exactly fair.

This isn't really related to builds or anything (basically the same stuff I had at tier 2 is now tiers 3 and 4)...



But I think these numbers are inaccurate.

Eh. The numbers have gotten pretty high when I played.

I can see plasma cannon fliers being honestly overpowered if the enemy team doesn't have a laser flier.

But then again, it's a welcome change from all the gunbeds...
