My first time building something around shields
Quite underpowered but can be a tough nut to crack against SMGs and snipers

T7 mobile bus
- 12x L6 hover, 1x L7 F.thrust, 8x L4. F.thrust, and 8x L4 R.thrust, this thing moves fast.
- 7x L8 SMG, perfect frontal line of fire.
- 3x L5 jammer, 3x L5 radar, 1x L5 receiver for good stealth and recon.
- 5x L5 Rectifier Armor, which has better Robot Ranking to Armor than yellow armor does.

T5 that cost 1507 CPU, so I can out tank, outmaneuver, out stealth, out recon, and outgun other T5.

It's totally fair!!!

That last one can be effective but it's so damn ugly. The name suits it well.

It's beyond just effective, it's OP as hell.

Unfortunately this design only works in T3 due to various collision box related reasons.

Of course.  With 11 pads and 6 thrusters both direction, I am faster than 99% of the T3 bots.

I killed the entire enemy team of 9, fought 5 bots solo simultaneously, 3 of which were plasma, and I killed them all while receiving just 20% damage.

Damn, that's impressive. are you still applying your method of using Inners instead Cubes whenever possible?

Na, recent hovercrafts I made has more and more top armor.

To counter this the bottom layer are using full cubes as ballast.

It's not as impressive as it sounds.  I move faster so while I did engage all 5 at once, I just turn into a narrow passage and wait for those 5 bots to drive in 1 and a time to die.

Nobody charges Hovercrafts, which is annoying since they are usually weak from below. I've killed way too many in one hit because of the fact they only have 1 bottom layer or no armour there.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Cuz they are idiots who actually hover up against non plasma bombers.

See mine?  It stays on the ground and drives like a tank.  You want to get to the pilot seat you gotta go through all my top armors.  Just because you can hover against a tank doesn't mean you should, unless you are trying the "fly over and land from behind" trick.

hey guise can i toss my hat into the t3 juggernaut ring too



Not really that powerful, just outlasts everything. It's pretty amazing how few people shoot at the center portion.

Also, when using hovers and driving like a tank you go faster, can't get stuck, don't flip when falling off edges, and a bunch of other things.

12x hover + 2x F. L10 thrusters.
13x L10 SMG

Nimble and small enough to dodge air plasmas
Armored enough to face-tank gunbeds to death with perfect frontal attacks.
Made with mostly triforce with a solid core for ballast/extra stability

This thing set a new record in damage with 5117, with the frontal blast shield I have de-weapon an entire black gunbed without losing a single gun myself.  Of course, getting something like this to work requires LOTS and LOTS of full cube ballast.

12 pads + 2 f.thrust ensure that it is mobile.

Some of those SMGs seem to have a lot of blind spots. Can they all fire without being blocked by your own vehicle from the front?

It's an hover with 12 pad, I can 180 my craft in half a second.  All I need to care about is front facing.

And yes, of course it has perfect frontal Line of Fire.

Also gunbeds are garbage.  Those low flat bed lose their guns so fast.  I can blast them all away before they can even get past my blast shield.

I am using less and less guns on top now that I stop using wheels.

Gunbeds are utter sh**e. They wreck 1-2 people (Or none when facing people like 123 with actual brains) then they're useless. One plasma in the center of that mess of guns then the bed loses half it's firepower.
