You mean creating a weapon component that is technically like the BBEANS blade, but much smaller and with several sizes available ?

Might be a nice addition.

That's the basic idea. Not sure if it would work better with multiple pieces(like the normal DSL bars) where it's got a less destructive flat edged body and a more destructive beveled edge tip or if it would be better as a solid bar.

Assuming accuracy is still a major concern, bars tend to break near the axle, leaving either half or none of the bar still attached, so a solid bar or a small hub that the bars attach to would probably be the best fit.

Having separate weapon and structural bars would allow a setup like the one on Relic to be possible, where it's got a main spinning bar with a lower weight and strong weapon heads at the ends to be possible, though that effect can be replicated with the dsl bars and any strong weapon head.

I thought that Main page music wasn't as, um... Robotic as I liked, So I founnd this after looking about:

http://gh.ffshrine.org/

After you add that Address, Enter:

song/4026/10

It is quite a nice Soundtrack, and I'm sure it'll be nice to addition to DSL 3.

Aaaah, Galbadia Hotel. Great source of soundtracks.

Sounds like a decent Team HQ theme. Could be a use in the Workshop too.

Galbadia Hotel is good, but this site is safer.

What about giving a low Damage Potential (like 100) to the heavy metallic plows, as the 35kg one, the V-plow and Killdozer plow ? I mean, being rammed at high speed with a metallic plow will do damage.

That mainly because Snowjob and the SteelYard Dogs suck, and the game will be more realistic then.

And More HP for the shell spinner discs.

Duh. Point out the obvious one, why don't you?

There's LOADS of bots with external motors (Even the replicas) . Which if you didn't know cause it.

Could you maybe make the AI at least a little bit easier?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #214 on:** April 13, 2009, 07:21:19 AM »

I wouldn't personally want that, hard AI makes your skills as a builder improve, my building skills improved when I stopped facing the stock AI and started fighting Starcore ones :blackeye_smily: no pain no gain lol

Hell no. the DSL AI is already too easy for my liking.

@JoeBlo: exactly.

Interestingly, my BBEANS entry and current personal building pinnicle Big Flip's Revenge was made to pummel the stock AI - I never even ATTEMPTED to put it against ANY of the Starcore versions.

Haven't touched Starcore in years, and my bots right now are at the best. <_<

so just make your bots better before clickbeetle will give his bots an extreme makover

I suppose some people are just talented that way or if you have entered tournaments on here which I think would improve people (hopefully me lol) but starcore is a good way for beginners to be shown how good there bots really are
