Because Electroplate can now be repaired only by it's armor value, Electroplate + Medic == Retardedly OP

I'm confused. So the medigun only has to repair the armour value now, and it was doing armour and shield beforehand? Or something else?

Exactly that.

So basically all 8 shields get repaired in under 5 seconds, with full charge.

I started playing this game as well. Any tips for beginner like me?

Try following 123's armor tutorials and you're way ahead of most players

After that, pick the weapon that most fits your playing style and stick to it.

Build to your CPU and RR Limit.
MOAR GUNZ
De-Weapon is king
Over level weapons, under level everything else
Wheels suck

Basically the same thing as RA2.

I don't really think I'm doing triforcing right, like, at all, but here goes.

Looking for people to play with and to teach me the tips and tricks.

My ingame name is orlp__, that's "orlp" followed by two underscores.

Hello, member-that-I-never-heard-about-but-contributed-to-this-community 

If you take a look at the 2nd a 3rd posts immediately above your post you'll have some good tips for the game. You can also roam around the pages and find some scattered advices here and there, mainly from 123stw's, very useful ones. He's the Robocraft master of this forum. Listen to him 

At the moment I'm not playing Robocraft as I rapidly get bored of it. I thought the walkers update could hold me to it but, meh... The game's still raw.

I ended up cloning someone else flyer because mine wasn't holding up well enough.

123stw wanna play some together? Maybe explain some thing to someone who doesn't know too much about the game yet?

[123savethewhales]

Sorry the friendlist in game is broken right now so I don't think we can play together.

How to avoid being OHKOed like a n00b.

Step 1, Here's a simple triforce on the pilot seat (connected to green prism).  You may replace L2 thruster with a prism if you don't like ejection seat.

Step 2, Either triforce or space armor the side and the back

Step 3, Add a layer on top and bottom

Step 4, cover up the top of your bot

How do you decide what cubes to use for what tier?

And how do you buy the cubes? In bulk? When you need them?

I'm pretty poor so I don't wanna spend money on things I don't wanna use.


And what is the best way to make your tank mobile, hoverblades? Do you hide the hoverblades in the chassis somewhere?

When it feels right.
You can buy them either in bulk or 1 or in pairs or 5 or 6 at a time... That's really up to you. You need them as you go to higher tiers...
Money is there to be spent and pretty much everything is useful to buy, except headlights... Those are pointless.

Definitely hover blades but they can be quite unstable. It depends how you build your bot. Making the bot wide and with decent ballast below the blades like a ship's keel should keep it steady. It's advised to keep the hover blades protected in your chassis mainly from below and the sides. Hoverblades make a bot mobile but also makes it fragile. Hoverblade players in general are targeted first.

To make sense of the above answers you must first start with a design you fancy and you'd like to evolve around. Pick a weapon that suits you and your bot's playing style. Test your bot ideas in practice mode. When that's done start upgrading your armor and guns as you see fit. If you feel like you're getting up tiers faster than you can upgrade your bot, just downgrade your bot until you feel you're ready.

I tried building something like this, but I can't figure out how to make it fly without constantly tipping over (it's very top heavy): http://i.imgur.com/qX6PyYW.jpg

This is what it looks like:




Note: I only have 800 CPU to work with. And there's two hoverblades hidden at the back at the top.

[123savethewhales]

That thing isn't going to be balance with the way those hoverblades are placed.  If you want something that moves, they need to be evenly distributed on both side above the center of mass.  You can't just shove hoverblades in where ever they fit.

General rule of thumb, use +1 level SMGs and -1 level everything else.  Component armor doesn't matter too much so long as you properly protect them.

For something with 800ish cpu you can try a simple box design like this.  Oh and I also shot down 3 bosses with this thing.

This sh** is depressing.  People suck so hard now at T10 I am killing everyone with a damn sub 500 red hovercraft with 6 SMGs.

Modified from the previous version by cutting hoverpads down to T8.

How can those SMG's hit through those shields?

Hey, I am a big fan of your work! 
I studied how to effectively armor and triforce using your methods, but now that I got to tier 7 I just can't make a durable bot... 

Could you please show me a layer by layer dissection of that 6x SMG hover bot please? 






I will get that robot bundle tomorrow most likely, hope they don't run out of codes...

I'm not an expert (yet) but I can say that you did the armour totally wrong. Consider how damage propagates through it - it goes in straight lines straight into your robot. You probably should flip that armour 90 degrees.

Also I'm not sure about orange blocks.
