Or you may be behind enemy lines. If he dies reaching you then it's pointless.

Hmm. They definitely have some new anti-hacker stuff in place. Unfortunately, it's a bit...overzealous. I've been kicked from battles twice now for 'invalid data' coming from my machine, and I wasn't doing anything all that odd. Turning to fire my plasma behind me a bit too quickly, maybe? Not sure what it was upset about.

In my experience that comes from when a shot from a gun you had gotten blown off hits after the gun was blown off.

And good medics are worth their weight in RP.

Killing the only two guys near the enemy base, then limping to the capture point on two wheels and winning is so damn fun.

Not as awesome as managing to sneak behind enemy lines without being detected, slaying two of them while another guy comes back around on the same path, also undetected, and capturing the point while they are descending upon you.

They seem to have made it so that looking around as a railgunner doesn't incur such a high accuracy penalty anymore, because my railgunner tank is now much more usable.

This is when I imagine the hilarity which may happen if certain things are glichy. Such as targeting your own body parts to eat.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I managed to fit 15smg and yet have cpu left for radar, 2 t10 and 6 t6 thrusters - I could have more thrusters but I don't know where to fit them, I'll put some helium just to make it more comfty to drive and that's it, couldn't make it any better

I've been working with a landship, mainly T5 armor, upgrading to T6 as funds allow, with 3x T6 railguns.  It's planted firmly in T6 and the rails either knock fliers out of the sky wholesale, or help to dig into armor chunks bots.  The design is a hollow box, as CPU allows I'll be adding more guns to get to T7 and unlock walker legs, then I'll be filling the interior space with more blocks.  It's already a fucking tank though, it takes like a dozen salvos of plasma just to cripple me.

Can somebody explain what happened here?

Thank god. We need as many people fucking up plasma bombers as possible.

Not bad, needs more shields, but it's hard to fit shields on the front until you get those T5 ones.

I know it's gg when my team doesn't mark pbombers (or even interceptors) and focus fire them.  I think I need to repurpose my SMG AA tank into a brawler (hover, maybe) and just use my Gauss platform for AA.

Here's mine:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
4x T7 Railguns
8x T4 Steering Wheels
15x17 footprint (nearly a box)
Wheel wells are very well covered.  Blue (T6) armor along the top spine, gun placement, and underside.  T6 armor is expensive.  526 cubes and 809 CPU planted firmly in T6 as I slowly convert the armor to blue and add more mass.

The left side wheels are uncovered, I haven't built the slope-back protection on that side yet, but will be piling it on as CPU becomes available.  The right side slope-back is also going to get rounding edges, and the rear guns are going to get small platforms that merge the slope and the main body.  I may also do a total rebuild later to push the front forward and add a 3rd row of guns and wheels.

When I get walker legs, I fully intend to rebuild this, with the legs placed as close to center as possible and an enormous armor skirt around them.  It'll be slow, but it'll slowly ignore mountains and give zero fucks about incoming plasma bombers as it simply crawls its way to the enemy base.

I like that configuration. If I keep the jump button I am faster than almost everything, then legs deploy when in position and I am ready to shoot and relocate.

people never expect something so ugly to be so fast. results: 3 kills on average.

No, you've got an armor block with legs.  I want the legs completely under a dome.  In other words, place one block, then legs on either side of that one block, then expand up and around to cover the legs.
