Author Topic: The Stock Showcase of The Ounce (Read 28730 times)

The Ounce · « **on:** July 01, 2009, 02:04:59 PM »

If you haven't read my forum introduction yet, I suggest you do so before you view this showcase. If you have then you would know I don't really like stock, but I've been getting better recently, and I wanted to start a showcase to see if that was true. Don't be surprised if what I showcase is not original; like I said before, I haven't been very good at stock until the most recent weeks. Here's a very destructive (but very vulnerable) popup, Go Up Here:

HP Z-Tek drive with shinies
1 Supervolt
6 razor tips on 2 DDTs
1 ramplate and DSA for armor

Strengths:

Fast
Powerful weapon
Wedge placement works well against other wedges

Weaknesses:

Steep front wedge and ramplate can decrease the effectiveness of the bot
Very exposed front
Exposed wheels

It can't beat many of Starcore 3.0's MW HSs (for obvious reasons), but I think it's still a fairly good popup.

Never, ever attach armor on a wedge extender.

Why?

Why?

Dramatically reduces effectiveness of wedges. Not stuff like blades, just relay heavy front armor.

...False.

Oh relay?

System32 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 01, 2009, 05:00:10 PM »

Doesn't the weight put extra pressure in the wedge?

In most cases the weight puts extra pressure on the wedge, yes. It should not reduce the effectiveness.

Satisfied Ribbs? You better be:pissd:.

R1885 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 01, 2009, 10:11:13 PM »

Better. Use rubbers, you have the weight.

The Ounce · « **Reply #12 on:** July 01, 2009, 10:13:04 PM »

Rubbers are 5 kilos heavier than shinies, so it will weigh 400 kgs and no longer be a middleweight

Smartzones (at least the ones that come stock with the game) weigh 2 kg, unless you want to AI the bot you should get rid of it.

R1885 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2009, 10:40:00 PM »

The smartzones in pys AI pack are weightless.

The Ounce · « **Reply #15 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:30:46 PM »

You were right. I didn't really need that smartzone, but what if I want to AI it or if it needs to be AIed?

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #16 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:55:00 PM »

If you use Mad's smartzones, you will have the weight. They weigh 0.1 kgs.

Getting better every post. Razors do more damage (according to pyscolone) if they are turned the other way (flat side facing up).

That T connector looks too exposed.

@ Naryar: It is, but strangely, none of the SC3 MWs can knock it clean off, not even Praetorian or Ad-Aware.

@ Sage: Pyscolone may be right. Even with just 6 razors, it has been able to KO most of the SC3 Middleweights with no more than 4 hits, and Fury, Ultraviolet, and Meteor have been OHKOed by it as well. It still can't beat Octomini Xtreme though...
