Ironforge TC Showcases / Re: 123 Ironforge Showcase

All spam and garbage post removed.

This isn't playground.

I wanted to leave this form long before Ironforge was released.  I promise myself to stop wasting time on this game/forum once I am done with Ironforge and deleting all my post is the only way to keep me from coming back to check.

Well it worked for quite a while anyway.

Since when are people supposed to enjoy other people's weddings?

They are expensive outdated rituals meant to stress everyone out.

Anyone care to explain how I have the third most viewed DSL showcase!?

Because You're 3rd most popular DSL builder...?

Definitely not that. Probably because you updated it frequently and it took you a long time to get decent, so there's alot of it cluttered with advice and the like.

You're just jelly

no no i agree with marty

I am jelly.

I'm always dubious when people say to keep awards 'just because' or because it's 'fun', it sounds like they want to see if they can win them.

Can we have a "Best builder not to have posted in his showcase since november 24th" award?

+1

Because I deleted my showcase.

Otherwise you will merely be #4, not so impressive now is it?

None.  They are so slow they make gunbeds seem fast.  They are basically just useless sitting ducks that can't get from point A to point B.

biggest douchebag is just fuel for flames. And shouldn't be an award.

I thought Andy was just suggesting something he can win.

That will be like me suggesting "Best RA2 TC release of the year" or something.

Go back to playing in traffics.

Look, all I'm saying is if you are all over the place whining like a little bitch, maybe people will think "Hey, this guy's crying like a bitch!".

All I am saying is this isn't playground.

Well diminishing return basically killed everything that has decent speed/mobility, now everything moves like crap.

Guess this is the end of Robocraft for me.

Also treads are garbage, just like all the components they added for the past few months.  They haven't introduced anything useful since plasma.

This is a general layout of a rectangular hovercraft


Of course, you don't need to build rectangles, but the principle is the same
1.  Putting hovers wider reduce left/right wobble, putting the hovers longer reduce front/back wobble and also improves hill climbing, and putting hovers far from the pilot seat improves turning.  So you want hovers as wide/long/far away as possible.

2.  you want the internal core to be heavy and the external wall to be light.  Think about the pendulum effect, it works as a counter ballast against wobbling.

3.  Having the center of mass lower than the hover blades will keep your bot upright.  However, too much weight at the bottom will unstable the bot.

4.  Don't shy away from using more hover blades, 8 blades will move a bot, while 10-12 blades will make a bot maneuverable.

5.  Avoid putting too much armor on the side as it will destabilize the craft.   Think about which direction your hover takes damage from and focus your defense there instead.

6.  Avoid using rudders/helium for balance.  While they are the easy way out, they will make you move as slow as something that has 300 more armors blocks than you.
