Might as well play the PC Mech Warrior games instead then if your enjoying overweightness and points based systems....
I also dont see any difference between Tactics used on these forums and RP used on the ARC forums. Both of them explain on how your going to exploit your opponents weakness and where your going to try to attack.
Easy way to settle this, spend £20 and buy Robot Arena 2 and play online, you get a lot more fun out of it.
*vanishes once again*
Ive mentioned problems with this before, and here they are again:
Several real robots such as Storm 2 wouldnt be possible with this system. To make Storm 2, youd need to add a shed load of points to armour, lots to speed and a lot to torque thanks to the traction that thing generates. There just arent enough points to make Storm 2 IMHO.
FBSs. Their weapon and armour are practically the same thing. I mean, theres only so much you can do by bunging some motors and gearboxes in there, most of the power generated by those things is determined by whats used to make the spinning shell/ring.
Its too easy for different competitors to be alike. At least in Brittish tournies you can change what drives your robot, if you use Ti or Hardox for armour, etc.
Different shapes would have different rules so to speak. Compact robots like Storm 2 can have thicker armour because it covers less surface area. More spindly robots like Stinger can have thicker armour because the armoured parts are smaller.
Also, calling it advanced robot combat when its simpler than the Brittish way of doing it is kinda funny:proud:
Oh, and Dave:

Of course, Im wasting a post because all you upper-class lot who spend days on a design, rendering it to over-kill, and giving it stats to kill everything wont be bother of going back to the older days on the british forums.
You werent around during those older days. They were pretty much the same as they are now, except everything was a lot gentler weaponed, and not as bricky.
I was on about on the older days on the 2nd Panic Attack Forum before suddenlaunch.
Which I believe Im the only person left semi-active from those days
The current Brittish way predates the PA forum way.
I know Frank.
Besides why are you fighting for it, because you are retired so the different stats dont affect you.
Hey Dave. *waves* Im here.
So because they dont affect me, it means Im not allowed to question them if I think there are problems?
Hi Tom.
Didnt you start on the old suddenlaunch boards?
*Gives everyone a round of applause*
(Minus Scott and Dave of course...) :P
No, I was pre-Suddenlaunch.
