Craaig ~ Stock Showcase

[cephalopod]

Okay, so I went back to Stock yesterday night, and decided on the most unoriginal idea ever. Remake Stealth Destroyer, as a stock bot.

So, here's Shock Destroyer.
It's called that, cos, well, it sounds remotely like the original, and shock sounds like stock. Yeah, running out of ideas. :P



Steel armour.

[ianh05]

stick with DSA (the default armor) and too many batteries in there..

i'll let others chip inon what else is wrong.

[cephalopod]

I thought, seem as though I wouldn't make the middleweight bracket with it, I would just put more batteries in (just in case) and make the armour better, but yeah XD

[Naryar]

That's not bad for a first showcased stock robot, and definitely the first chained VS i have seen.

-2 black batteries are enough for this.
-Don't use square extenders.
-Sledgehammers suck in stock. Prefer irons or maces to this.

steel isn't better then the default armor. oh and use round extenders.

[R1885]

You have the idea, it just needs to be remade. Some things however:
No steel
Use round extenders
You need only two blacks
Keep the snapper wedges
use Irons, longer reach, and one third of the weight

[System32]

You have the basic Idea, But I doubt all these guys posting the same thing over and over will help. Let's see:

1) Your disk is to large. Skrink it, then add Irons instead of those silly 30 KG Sledgehammers. The general idea is that weapons weighing over 14 KG are used for Armour, instead of Sledgehammers because they are too heavy.

2) Make the chassis smaller. You'll be able to add more stuff.

3) Are those burst motors active? If not, remove those pinks and a black battery. 4 High Powered Z teks can be easily be powered by a black.

4) Add another chained weapon on the other side, make it symmetrical.

5) Use Black/Red extenders. then you get more weight.

6) Use DSA. It stands for Double strengh aluminium. To get it, Don't click any armour when you make a new bot.

7) Download a harder AI pack. Your bots CAN beat stock, but you'll need to improve. I reccomend UBERMOD 1 and 2, to get the basics of bot design. Then DL the starcore packs v1 and v2, then PSY AI pack, then Starcore v3 and v4.

But I doubt all these guys posting the same thing over and over will help.

That is EXACTLY what are you doing.

And Craaig, browse the stock showcases for more ideas, and get SCv1, then 2, then 3, then the PYS AI pack (better than SCv3), then Scv4 Alpha.

'Kay, thanks guys (:

EDIT: Just to let you know, my version of Stock severely messed up for no apparent reason. Oh well, back to DSL then XD

[System32]

That is EXACTLY what are you doing.

You werecopying and pasting. I was still doing it, but being more helpful. it helps avoid flamewars. Am I right, Click?

[Naryar]

You werecopying and pasting.

Nope.

[cephalopod]

Okay, huge bump and a bad bot. But never mind.
I know theres too much open space and the weapons aren't great, but this is the first successful effe-ing I've ever done, lol, and was done more to learn effeing than anything really.
Grenom (like, green venom. lol)
DSA

[JoeBlo]

congrats on learning to eFFe now perhaps snapper loading next? and you have something with potential growing there

[cephalopod]

now perhaps snapper loading next?

Yeah, I might try that :D

[JoeBlo]

find a topic that Sage has posted in and use the links in his signature :-D

[Naryar]

Why the are you showcasing a bot if you know it is bad?

[cephalopod]

Neh, I was just happy I could eFFe. Took me a while to get it right >.<
