This bug has been in the game for a long long time though, and I'm surprised it took them this long to fix it:

Fixed a mirroring issue with the Electroplate F Left

inb4 "unity 5 fixed it"

What's a non-stupid way to design hovercraft? Mine are uniformly awful, except for the design that I elaborated on in the own thread.

[Rose]

Make then helicopters.

[Insanegame27]

Whats the easiest way to level up?

Eh. Hovercraft are quite like aircraft in terms of design principle in that you want to keep track of your center of mass. Since hovercraft are no longer constrained to 2 dimensions of movement, like aircraft, you need to take that extra dimension of movement into account now. You then want to make sure that your bot is balanced around that center of mass, so if you pile lots of guns on the top of your bot, you want to make sure that you have heavier cubes on the bottom of your bot.

((I design and play hovercrafts a lot so I think I know what I'm talking about))

Whats the easiest way to level up?

iirc everyone says slap nano guns on your bots and start healing everyone.

this is the most basic hovercraft. notice it was built before the hover being nerfed and buffed again, but it still workish and the principles are definitely the same

I also have one T5 guide with images instead of videos, if you prefer

[crazysheep]

oh man, those were the days when you couldn't raise or lower your bot while building and mirroring wasn't a thing

[Rose]

Those are things now?

[crazysheep]

the , and . keys (default keybinds) raise and lower your robot, arrow keys (also default keybinds) move your bot around the building space, and x provides a central mirror line.

Incoming pile of interesting changes via newspaper.

[Mephansteras]

Finally getting multiple weapon types on the same bot! Nice!

[Rose]

Noo! They're nerfing SMGs

T_T

They've said they were stripping hitscan off lasers for ages, japa. Its just, rails also get a useful effect as a result and lasers just become more average.

[Aklyon]

Maximum Loadout is tomorrow, non-maximum doublepost is right now.
Interesting points from the patch notes:
EVERYTHING is now round-robin firing. Teslas don't fire, so they don't count. (instead they're only active when selected and drain power per blade while ramming thy enemy. Also teslas are no longer one shot weaponry)
Limit of 5 weapon/module types per bot (front&top lasers are the same type)
6-gun cap is dead, hail energy bar. Energy regen is 100% in 10 seconds.
Firing guns no longer interrupts regen.
All weapons now turn about as fast as the lasers do.

Laser damage buffed to solidify it as the short-range weapon. Hitscan removed as previously mentioned.
It sounds like Rails no longer have the 'charge everything before firing'. You may shoot as many non-hitscan round-robin penetrative railgun shots as your energy allows. Railgun shots are faster than laser shots by a significant amount. This probably confuses physics a bit.
Plasma damage at centre (and splash damage) buffed to compensate for less frequent alpha strikes. Mega Plasma now blows the shit out of things with one huge blast instead of two good ones.
Nanos no longer have offense. Instead, they have stronger round-robin burst healing.
More nerfs to lighter cubes, because bloody tesseract nonsense.
The shield module works exactly like base shields: You can shoot through it, but not through enemy shields. It also takes less power than the blink.
Potential 4 days of free premium via email.
