I'm trying this out right away. It reminds me of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, which I adored but the multiplayer sucked because vehicle destruction was turned off because the Xbox 360 couldn't handle it.

It turns out that you can get enough helium blocks to be unable to come back down. I just had a hovercraft lose half of its hover blades, and then the helium blocks carried it up and off the map. The entire enemy team left in the following minutes from boredom.

I started throwing some actual armor and of the next tier of rotors and thrusters on my Gunnery Hover, previously know as the Space Tank.
I'm kind of hesitant to bring her up to Tier 2 though. I might wait until I have enough armor and other parts saved up to bring her fully up to salt at once.
Kinda scared of moving into the next stage of the game, I guess, :P

I prefer to have a small hovercraft that is absolutely COATED with guns. Yeah, I'm flimsy, but the armor I have helps, and even if part of me gets shot off, I usually have enough guns left to give 'em hell. Not to mention the smaller size makes me a pain to hit, which adds to the amount of damage I can deal before biting the dust (or turning into a little gun-covered blob that flops around on the floor).

So I don't get the white blocks vs the black heavy blocks.  Is the latter just 10 times heavier to weigh down your tank and give it more traction or something?

They have a little bit of armour. (like 10)

So do the whites.

They help to balance aircraft. Not sure of anything else beyond that.

Yeah, heavy blocks are ballast, not armor.

The one thing that really annoys me is that blocks can't be shared between three designs. I feel like to build one optimal craft, I have to disassemble the other two, or at least keep pulling guns off and switching them around. If we could just save designs or something I wouldn't mind.

My biggest issue is balancing my hover craft. Once I get it balanced, I can lose about 1/4 to 1/3 of it and it will still fly straightish, but if it isn't balanced just right.... instantly dead.

EDIT: Anyone that goes to use a hovercraft in tier 2, I HIGHLY suggest putting 4 tier 1 steering wheels on the corners of your hovercraft. When you eventually lose the ability to fly in any sort of meaningful pattern, as long as you have 1 (preferably 2) you will be able to move.

Game bugged out for me.

I now own 3+ million armour 1 blocks.

EDIT: And then they disappeared.

Shoulda sold them :D

EDIT: So should I save up for all tier 2 armor blocks, or should I just buy the tech upgrades for 2 and 3, not buy the tier 2 blocks, and just save for tier 3 armor?

I just noticed some tech can unlock sideway tech (i.e. lvl 3 cannon links to lvl3 turrets)

so you don't need to unlock them all

Armor blocks become very expensive quickly as you upgrade them. Holy crap, the blue ones cost ~900RP each!

why people don't retreat when outnumbered is beyond my comprehension.

this game really needs a couple tutorial missions, but I guess you can't really change how the rambo out there plays. I blame modern games with recharging health and underpowered weapons.

anyway, I had a game with another good player and we had a blast: covered each other, shared armors, taken hits from the direction the other was uncovered and we kicked some serious ass dancing around the capture zone.

I think we should all add B12 to our craft names so we can identify each other easily incase we pop into a game with another.

I like that. I think standard would be [B12]

Will do if possible
