Drills fail in DSL anyways.

If Click were to apply the same principle to drill weapons as he did to Razor's claw, then drills could potentially be effective.

You mean adding a frequency value to the .txt ?

If then they'll be overpowered :P

123 did a lot of testing with frequency, he told me a lot of his findings

its an interesting concept but will overpower things

Hopefully we can balance this by adding normals or lowering piercing and concussion values...

Yeah, normals would make it a drill rather than a hulk of metal.

I mean something like a cone with many spikes or blade on it

On second thought , thruster would be cool too...

I think they're easy enough to make in the current DSL. All you need is a burst piston, some extenders, and something that hurts.

I've thought of something cool...

Tyre Treads!

Available in 30, 40, 50 and 60cm, these things will go around the outside of 100cm, 150cm, 200cm and 250cm disks with side panels on, and then attach to the side panels, in order to offer traction to non-wheel noobs.

Don't they have wheels for that?

Yes, but wheel size stops at Ford wheels, while this will allow you to make MASSIVE wheels, about 5x bigger than fords.

Reier · « **Reply #690 on:** April 22, 2010, 01:04:02 PM »

Large bike tires are bigger than fords.

G.K. · « **Reply #691 on:** April 22, 2010, 01:08:34 PM »

So are Cobras.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #692 on:** April 22, 2010, 01:10:51 PM »

Don't wheels attached to extenders have no grip?

russian roulette · « **Reply #693 on:** April 22, 2010, 03:21:09 PM »

I think he wants a ring that would go around the dome and is a tire.

Somebody · « **Reply #694 on:** April 22, 2010, 10:56:10 PM »

AKA a reeeeeeeeeeeally big tire.

Which isn't a bad idea really.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #695 on:** April 22, 2010, 11:03:10 PM »

through the mystical voodoo that is RA2 I dont think what is being described will work

Somebody · « **Reply #696 on:** April 22, 2010, 11:10:55 PM »

Not even just a reeeeeeeeeeeeeally big tire?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #697 on:** April 22, 2010, 11:19:46 PM »

thats doable

what he was describing was essentially grippy shell panels but I dont know if RA2 would operate like that.. it seems to be picky with grip

Naryar · « **Reply #698 on:** April 23, 2010, 02:22:30 AM »

Well... even with large bike wheels, Scavenger-style full body drums are not easy to build so this might be a good idea.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #699 on:** April 25, 2010, 06:53:18 PM »

Make Chaos 2's flipper more powerfull and also add Stinger, Cassius 2, X-Terminator, Suicidal Tenencies, Panzer Mk 4, Steel Avenger and Steg 2 Please
