My venerable Hover Frigate design still holds up well, if you're interested in a different type of bot.

Mine has taken me from...T2 or 3 all the way up to T10 with very little modification to the central design. It is reasonably quick, handles most terrain areas well, and can take a massive beating while still staying pretty functional.

Namely, a surface ship design with interior hoverblades supplemented by exterior hoverblades and engines with the top of the ship designated for weapons platforms and utility pieces.

[Tnx]

Anyone wanna squad up?  I'm currently at T6 and needing to rebuild to break into T7 soon.

[Rose]

Timezones permitting, sure.

I won't be playing for a day or so, though.

Alright. I've decided it's finally time to retire my SMG cruiser. RIP RemoveKebot 1.0, your legacy will live on.

My new design is very much a spiritual successor to RemoveKebot. Or a direct successor. I named it RemoveKebot 2.0, and it incorporates the same sort of design even if it looks different and is a tank rather than a cruiser.

Essentially, my design strats are unchanged. I'll list them here, because I've found they've enabled me to shrekt T1-3 players fairly consistently.

1. They don't flank, at all. So your can safely move your cockpit to the back of the bot.
2. Putting an armor skirt over your wheels/treads works wonders. I can't count the number of times I've won confrontations because I've stayed mobile while everyone else got crippled. You'll get stuck occasionally but it's worth it as a trade off.
3. Minimize your profile - try to make your bot as flat as possible. This means your low-tier electroplates can cover more of your front profile and it's harder to take off your guns.
4. 6 overtiered SMGs are all you need. Everyone's going around with 4 gorillion on-tier smgs, but you don't get a fire rate boost after you hit 6. Redundancy has its merits but saving on the CPU means more electroplate coverage.

So essentially keeping all these in mind, I'm now a sort of round, treadmilled pancake. It's bizarre but it works.

If I stripped the Pew! back down one tier, I could meet you in t4 with a fairly flat, low and wide railtank. Wouldn't be too hard considering it was built to be as low tier as possible as well as let me try out rails without dealing with the most silly of t6 shenanigans like rail planes. (it used to be able to fit into t3, but they redid some numbers awhile ago and it got shoved into t4 instead)

[Rose]

If I wanted to play T3 or 4, I'd have to make an entirely new bot. Might do that anyway.

[Aklyon]

Round bits! They're in the tech tree and work the same as pointy bits. But with less geometricalness.

[Aklyon]

Despite doublepost, I finally found a decent use for t2 electroplates. Also they added plasma back to t1/t2 and removed the limited version of the new mode from said tiers in favor of the same version all the other tiers have.

I made this thing mostly half-assed to get some T8 stuff I missed, but it's actually turning out really well. I'm killing people a lot more than I used to.

Hey, there be patch notes. They redid the everything.

[AdmiralGeezer]

Would anyone be interested in trying out a similar game for mobile? A little bit simplified, from the top view and with pixel graphics. There might be something like this in the works 

[blazing glory]

Again?

*Takes a looksie.*

Huh, so now we have five maps instead of four, they really put a lot of effort into this.

Just might update my version in fact.

Maybe.

[Rose]

So the "No more tiers" update finally released? Awesome.

Edit: Oh god, lava planets. Does that mean that there could be places that damage us if we drive on them?

Well considering both 'lava planets' and 'wheel update' are next, either one of them is probably a trap or they think the wheels wouldn't handle well on them.

[Mephansteras]

Been a while since I played this. Any of the changes do anything interesting lately?
