Ohai, I'm back! ;o
Those who don't remember me, (not that I was particularly well known anyway) I was a member of GTM which joined what's possibly over two years ago. I was around for about two or three months, then real life issues kicked in and I dissapeared from the forums and pretty much abandoned RA2; which I had played for a year or two prior to joining.
I've been moping around the forums in secrecy recently though, using the offchance that I get to fiddle with RA2, and have decided that now things have calmed down I'll give it another shot; being older and wiser, well maybe not the latter...
For those that don't know me. Ohai, i'm new. :3
Anyway, been trying my hand at DSL since I never was good at stacking and fully taking advantages of the stock glitches which you needed really to be competetive; so bear with me.
This is 'Slow Response', a middleweight rammer which I made not so long ago.
Power: Four ants (overpowered I know).
Drive: Two fast NPC-T64's.
Armour: Don't quote me on this, but I think it's Tite 3 or 5 (sorry can't remember, I iz useless. ;<).
Weapons: 16 razors.
Built it last night, has a skirt hinge with 3 40cm Alu skirts folded back underneath to serve as mediocre gut-ripper protection (not sure if this really confides with realism, please do say xD). Wheel guards are mainly there since I can't drive; it's way too fast and I end up inevitably getting flanked at some point, (and I don't want wheels being ripped off :P) although they do work nicely as stabilisation also, and stop it getting stuck on it's back.
Pros:-Invertible
-Angled razors to help damage wedges
-Long battery life
-Can take quite a few hard knocks
Cons:-Relatively exposed motors which generally end up getting hit once or twice
-It can be outweaponed by heavy weapon users such as Lock-nut and RED ALERT; rare but has happened.
-Whole thing's basically built on Aluminium extenders which are easy pickings should I get outweaponed.
-------------
On a side note, apologies if any of what I post is a major klone; but like I said, I haven't been around for ages, so don't know what other bots are flying around, so don't bash me too hard. *hides* :P
And also I know DSL building here follows a degree of realism which I try to follow (not having things go through batteries or anything else that isn't possible IRL), but exactly how far? For example is eFFe'ing acceptable as long as the result confides with the realism rule? I know the NPC's aren't very realistic, but it seems everyone else does it so... meh. :P
