Hovercraft just isn't that good until end game where you can lift 5 layers of unconnected armors. Slow and Hovering really just spells "shoot me plz".

True. Most of the times I get targeted 1st but I have speed and surprise on my side. My IronClad can outrun most of the hovers and ground vehicles around.
Without speed my ship is useless

Well yeah now that I am Tier 7 I am making a switch to hovercraft, going for hover 5s instead of wheel 5s. 4 of those things will lift my existing tank off the ground so I gain speed without losing armor.

But the first 2 levels of hoverpads are just bad.

I noticed that hovercraft is kinda sh**ty at tier 2. I'm gonna go rocket car, I think.

Or maybe zeppelin for max bypass the enemy and capture base trolling.

You can try building one of these with tier 2s hoverpads

Building a flyer drunk ? seems legit right ?

Well i'm on it.

Naryar · « **Reply #85 on:** March 02, 2014, 03:29:08 PM »

here it is

For doing what it needs to do... it does it pretty well, aka fly over the tank melee and dive on the enemy base.

It performs poorly in combat, though. Need to improve that, and moar component armor.

4x Hover 5s lets me lift 600+ cubes worth of armor. Combine with damage redirecting it can take some serious punishments.

Omitting actual cubes in favor of "inner" helps.

I'm thinking how old is this game.

I hope a friends system is added soon

Between Dom's Ironclad, AS's Pepsimaaan, 123's now-floaty thingy and the Fortress of Arrogance (renamed because I'm an utter pillock), we have tons of firepower.

with 6 Hover 5, here is Spinosaurus

All cubes are actually "inner" to save weight and increase speed.
Tetra has the same hitbox as a cube, so the spikes work as a solid wall with the added benefit of not being counted as connected, giving it a chance to dissipate damage entirely.
8 1s turning thrusters so they are easy to hide and protect.
Unlike that thing from yesterday, this actually has good handling.

Now I just need to get more CPU so I can put more guns on this thing.

Edit: The bottom layer now uses cubes so the base is heavier than the top, thereby improving stability.

The only GTM member I really managed to play with was TBD and that was about a week ago I guess. The rest were random encounters with Koss, mystic and 123 so far.

123: Technically you already have enough guns for the max firepower of 5 shots per sec. When it comes to gun survival, that's another matter.
That's a sweet build, m8. Looks very solid and appears to take quite some punishment.

My IronClad is now fully orange and so I'll slowly begin the transition to blue and some specs of red. Also equipped it with better weaponry.

Which is why everybody spams Guns.

It's like in RA2, MOAR RAZORZ is intended for durability.

Here's a T2 hovercraft that only uses T2 and under parts, is fast, and can still take some hits.

Components
8x T2s Hoverpads
2x T2s Thrusters
4x T1s Thrusters
4x T1s Top Gun
1x T1 Front Gun

well i shall finish my new vehicle once i have redownloaded everything since i BROKE THE GAME FOR THE 6TH TIME!!!

Naryar · « **Reply #99 on:** March 04, 2014, 06:09:05 PM »

So, gunbeds are op.

It's hilariously fast. I also can ninja climb cliffs with that thing since it has so much kinetic energy, also it can't brake (or stop) for sh** because the grip is awful.

But then again it's so full of swag I don't really care.

Also is it me or Tier 3 increases your earnings ?
