trapper = rammer

thats not really true

rammers hit then back up and hit again

its actually more like

trapper = pinner = pusher

and since all basic AI pythons (like omni, poker, flipper, etc) do a push and pin strategy they wouldnt be outlawed.

Firebats suck becasue they require close range to attack and have low HP like Marines, also they dont attack air units

I like nuclear striking with ghosts too =P

thats why I like Terran.. they have the best basic unit...

Marine - Long Range, can attack air.
Zergling - Melee, cant attack air.
Zealot - Melee, cant attack air.

I lol at the computer playing Terran always making heaps of Firebats instead of marines

could always have people who cant find a team or who are lazy to just sign up and when you have 5 they make a team.. or if there is a gap in a team, etc

just thoughts...

first one was a joke... D: I like skinning

second one is your call but it is a turn off for me with random teams... part of the fun is working along with others.

if your robots were made 100% in stock they wont last very long at all, the balance for stock is lower in terms of strength compared to the DSL stuff

just on a quick flick through

I would enter but...

Please do not spend hours skining your bots as I will re-paint them anyway so that it is obvious which team it is in!

:P

hmm 5 or 6 per team... damn, we need another aussie to make a team with Doom, H@z and Ian...

Dick Smith / Tandy is the cheapest price I have seen in Aus @$69

if they are sold out dont forget EB will match any price if you provide a catalog...

I used to like the protoss (doing the same thing with the large ships) but I released I sucked with them.

I intend on playing online a lot more, I haven't done so with Starcraft but I did a lot with Warcraft 3 which is basically the same but not as cool =P

there might be a lot more active players with the sequel

reminds me very much of my old robot Circus

the weapon motors may need to be mounted lower to get robots ontop.. otherwise it would probably knock them away

Bout time this game had a thread 

who plays it ?

I have played it since the original was first released (1998 I believe) all those many years ago, usually off and on playing it but I have got back into playing it a lot more with the release of Starcraft 2.

--- Side Note -----------------------------------------

Im looking to buy Starcraft 2 right now, currently hunting for the cheapest deal,

A systems check told me one aspect of my graphics card conflicts with Starcraft 2 but I think it will still run.. if anyone brought a retail copy aparently they come with 3 guest keys for 7 hours of play ? if anyone has one they are willing to give me so I can try it out, we can arrange some form of trade, as you know im quite handy with computer graphics or even modding aspects of RA2. PM me 

---------------------------------------------------------

My favourite race is probally the Terran, its perhaps the weakest, I know but you can pump out armys at a very fast rate compared to others and there are a few nifty tactics they can use.
