Also hovercraft tend to get more uncontrollable after only a few of hoverblades had been hit. Compared to them, wheels are very stable.

That's what keeps them balanced, though.

[Girlinhat]

So a question.  Has anyone built large ornaments onto their craft, purely for show?  For a few games I added enormous horns to my tank, but it caused me to tip over fairly often so I removed them.

[Girlinhat]

Bump because plasma cannons are now in.  The official release page even says you should try building a flier that travels upside-down to become a bomber.

so...spaced armor is going to become a thing now.

It's already been a thing. A thing that is still not plasma-proof, unless you make a bot so spindly and armored that it'll get shot to pieces by laserfire and quickly lose anything not directly attached to the seat. AOE blast cares not for your anti-directional laser spacing, it is not as narrow-minded.

I dont know, my test armor design held up rather well against plasma, but if you design it well, its possible, using plasma on the other hand...how are you even suppose to see unless you place the seat at the very top of your robot?

I'd like if plasma were a bit more spread out. Grouping makes quite hard to saturate an area

[tryrar]

hahaha, I just had one of those moments! I had just redesigned my ground vehicle so it can carry a couple of t2 plasmas into a t1 match. I'd already managed to snipe a couple of fliers with them(not an easy feat at any level, mind you), and had swept the map for the last guy before getting on cap. Now, the last guy had been an absolute hero, sniping my teammates down as they tried to cap, luring them away, and generally destroying the opposition. He killed my last teamate just as I was getting on cap...only for me to flip at the worst possible moment. I'm on my side, helpless, as he comes up to cap, sees me, and wisely moves around to where I can't hit him and starts picking me apart...only to accidently destroy the blocks propping me on my side, allowing me to oneshot him with my plasmas. 

One thing I can conclude is a slightly wider wheelbase may be in order to avoid flips

[Girlinhat]

I stumbled upon the best tactic.  That one map with the bridge?  Get right up against it, behind the barrier, to avoid flying plasma.  As soon as the enemy comes over the bridge and around the corner, hit them with a face full of plasma.

I decided to try making a flier with a plasma cannon on top since I'm not good at flying them upside down and had an epic moment. I was charging along above the ground when I saw a flier off in the distance. Right as I was about to shoot, some lasers tore off two of my 4 hoverblades. I still ended up firing my shot, but it was while I was crashing to the ground. I ended up actually hitting the enemy flier though, but died seconds later.

[tryrar]

So who here drives the b12 RP Pinata? I gotta say, you have a lot of blocks, but really need to get better ones as 3 t3s plasmas rip off those white blocks pretty easily

[etgfrog]

I know, its fun that way to have 1000+ blocks

[Girlinhat]

I seriously thought about making a hovercraft with just some really powerful blades encased in an enormous sphere of white blocks.  It wouldn't serve much use, except to draw enemy fire and be hilarious.

[Erils]

I once saw a ground vehicle that was covered in armor and lasers, but had no wheels.
