to me, all those unrealistic stock bots looks the same.
thats where the skill comes into it
there are some good points but I dont see the need to change a community ? just do whatever with stock and have what you build be effected by what tournaments you enter.
nobody tells you in the stock showcase "build unrealistically"
DSL is different because it was a mod intended for building realistically, same as Backlash, it feels like a massive middle finger when someone tells you how you should build with your own mod (been there, felt that, not fun) so we stay respective with the intentions for day to day stuff (doesn't mean you cant do what you want though)
Stock really became stronger with non realism after DSL, otherwise there is no need for it, its what sets the 2 apart. before jumping into Backlash I did a
lot of research, I figured in order for Backlash to become a "3rd choice" and not just something extra it needed to set robot building apart from the other 2, otherwise it would loose in favor of DSL.
however... that said, a few people were going to re-balance all the stock parts at some points in time, if someone ever succeeds, makes new UI, AI and all that jazz, writes it off as a realistic stock mod then bingo, realistic stock building against other realistic robots. I admit im interested myself (though obviously I barely have time to finish my own mod let alone starting another)
its a little known fact the Backlash involves stock parts that DSL doesn't, including new variants. not just to add variety but to bring original elements into the game..
just some stuff to think about...
