I absolutely despise these fuckheads who decide to build a craft that flies so high that it's impossible to hit. It's basically cheating.

[motorbitch]

someone suggested thrusters to help with steering.
strapped on 2 L3s, 2 L1s and 2 L1, and its pretty amazing. helps with getting unstuck, too.

[motorbitch]

Put  powered wheel in the middle and non powered steering wheel front and back; problem solved.

that could work indeed....

but then, i only have (and want) 4 wheels.

edit ergs, wrong quote

It's terribly easy to do that.

Also completely pointless since you can't even see much of anything from that distance, much less hit it.

I don't see how that is cheating. (I built one of those because the fans wouldn't hover more than a few meters off the ground and I wanted an airplane of sorts, not a hovertank. But I'm probably still tier 1 or 1s or whatever.)

[motorbitch]

well, its pre alpha, isnt it?

i dont like high flyers, and it doenst seem to fit into the game very well. add plasma cannons as planned, and you break the game.
im pretty sure well see soem changes in this mecanic at some point.

[Nighthawk]

High flyers are perfectly balanced. They tend to be really flimsy, and if they're not, their armor weighs them so much that they fly incredibly slowly, making them easy targets anyway.

Not only that, but they have to get down low to capture a base, meaning they're vulnerable.

[motorbitch]

low tier, yes.
but there is nothing like squishy black armor or l5 modules.

[etgfrog]

the reason why fliers are balanced is because you need 1 helium block for every 1.5 full armor blocks, with each helium block requiring 10 cpu your limited on the size and how much armor you can have.

[motorbitch]

yeah, ok.
anyhow. didtn say it was broken now.
im just pretty sure plasma cannons as planned will break it.

[motorbitch]

lol, just got 37 tech points for one match XD

6700 rp for a black cube. interesting....

[etgfrog]

maybe, but its also adding railguns...which may or may not be the bane problem for fliers, or those will make fliers broken, however according to one of the devs you will only be able to have 1 weapon type on your robot.

[choppy]

so did i hear flying snipers? 

[rabidgam3r]

So my little tank-bike lost half it's wheels and spun around, firing randomly.
I thought I was doomed.
I then immediately shot my attacker in the face and killed him instantly by sheer random luck.

yeah, flyers  are snipers pretty much.

anyway, with aoe, you would not want to be on the ground anymore. close misses will be just as deadly.
