Just add one wing facing backward even if damaged and removed will keep you stabilized because bugs

Proper SMG gunbed/tank. Hopefully I can keep using it until at least tier 7 by just upgrading the armor/wheels and the weapons to their s-variants. Wheels are behind a fully enclosed skirt. Only semi-iffy design choice that I can see is the t7 smg above the pilot seat, but it's sadly a necessity if I want to have proper line of fire in close combat situations. Also shields the pilot seat from hovers/fliers with plasma, which is always good.

Been having a lot of fun, particularly because of the premium. I do get frustrated at plasma still, though. It takes a long while to kill someone with it, but crippling someone's offensive capability with a one burst of plasma is nothing rare, and is something unique to the weapon type. Not many people seem to get the massive benefits of the way plasma deals damage. Very hard to protect against, too, as the shots arc onto your roof. I feel like the devs cant decide whether it should be a CQC or a long range bombardment weapon.

Upgrading armor is such an annoyance I just rebuild the whole thing.

Also later weapons size will force a redesign anyway.

This is my latest gunbed, just recently got me thru tier 3 and into tier 4, good thing wheels and guns haven't changed size yet.

Most of the armor is "ablative", meaning it's not connected to the main skeleton. It's basically an H shaped of the strongest materials I had at the time, with towers for the guns, and all the triangles are just filler that is only connected to each other so hitting them doesn't compromise the main structure.

So far it's proven to be kinda durable, too bad my CPU use is so high and I'm having trouble upgrading without removing random blocks, heh.

Finally, I made it to t6 and the nano disrupter, so I went to play around with one in t3 on the friendbot. (Originally I'd wanted to see if it'd fit into t2 since all I was doing is replacing a railgun with a nano, but too much roboranking it seems).

Works pretty well I'd say, unless its archnemesis the rail sat is also on the enemy team.

Nanos are okay, but they only really shine in a platoon with someone you know is capable. Just driving around healing pubbies (who might just die a moment later because #YOLO) tends to be a little unreliable. The battle has to be really draw out for them to compete with the influence of a good SMG or plasma user.

It seemed to more turn into using me as a focal point, as far as I'd seen in t3. Occasionally had to turn my reserve hovers on (friendbot uses wheels usually), jump over someone and push from the front to keep people moving, and then I'd get hit by a plasma shot while doing so :/

I really like the design I have.  This is what it looked like after taking a plasma bombard standing still when I was trying to hit a rail sniper, then the rail sniper shot me:

This game is haaard. My T1 bot can never seem to get enough firepower on target and is never controllable. I'm thinking of spending all my monies for helium and jets and going blimp.

The game isn't hard it is all about finding exploits and if you aren't willing to do so then you aren't going to get very far.

I was mostly joking, but the easiest one is to bring Rails or Mortars into the lower tiers. ONLY tap click for the Machine Gun (Honestly, why does that gun even allow full auto when there is no benefit to it?).

Also your cockpit is nigh indestructible in the early tiers to my knowledge.
