Scorpion: A Stock Showcase
« on: October 17, 2010, 07:53:04 AM »
I thought i'd dust off my stock since I haven't been on it in a long while.
Now behold, a sadly generic middleweight:

DSA armour ofcourse, the wedge rupts most of the time, but not all of the time for some reason.

Where's the "Generic"
Too many weapons for a DDT
Use Razors, not Irons
Use Snapper II's not Snapper 2's (I think it's that way round right?)
Don't use angle connectors like that, use side attaches of round extenders
Rupts need 60cm's
Could do with front armour.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

I dunno, just thought it looked a tad generic
Can't really fit another DDT in though, should I just lower the amount of weapons and center them?
I thought somebody would say that *goes to rectify*
Snapper II? I've never heard of them TBH.
The wedge won't go on to the side connector straight on
Noted, thanks
Once i've swithed it to razers, i'll see what I can do with the space left.

Doesn't look too Generic to me. I'd probably lose some of the weapons, switch to razors, and I don't like the way everything seems to be hanging out of the chassis, personally. And get some frontal defense on, because a good HS will eat you.

Huzzah, I am going to try and improve at stock, even if I do think DSL is far superior ;P


New bot called "mercury", it seems to be a bit of an improvement (although i'm having problems with starcore ATM so i'm not too sure yet)
DSA armour aswell BTW.

Put your drive into your chassis, you're wasting a lot of weight on extenders ATM

S_M likes pointing out that he came up with this kind of design before me, he's done it before and it's very cheeky ;P

Not too bad. I reckon you could use a Baseplate Anchor for that frontal ramming rack, though, and you really only need one SnapperII for this. And I'd consider getting irons on the spinners as opposed to Razors.

O.k, i'll try fiddling round with baseplate anchors again.
And I'm guessing that irons and maces are best for spinners, razors for popups and axes for rammers?

In stock, maces are better for defense and against other weapons due to their high *cough* concussion value, razors are pure reckless offense and irons are between both.

I thought Click said there wasn't any difference between concussion and piercing.
