Re: The Riggers - Army idea metal chao wrote: It's a bit small. The problem is that my spriting deficiencies increase geometrically while the sprite size progresses arithmetically. So on a 1x1 sprite, I'm deficient at a factor of one, but by 8x8 I'm deficient by 35, and so on and so forth. Pretend that made sense and I wasn't just shoving in possibly incorrect Fibonacci numbers into the mixture to seem smart.

Re: The Riggers - Army idea Actually, it'd probably just be a cylinder-like drop pod they fire from an orbiting ship.

Obligatory your mom joke bold and underlined, etc. But look at the previous text- you got it ass-backward. They're ingenious tinkers, tailors, and candlestick-makers who hack together brilliant devices for tearing through their foes. Tinkers of course are engineers, tailors are surgeons, and candlestick-makers light people on fire.

Re: The Riggers - Army idea First of all, lawl, your mum jokes.
Secondly, I agree, it would be shabby and brilliantly engineered.

Re: The Riggers - Army idea The riggers would just have something put together for getting the job done, most likely have it fitted for a second purpose too: BATTERING RAMS/SPIKES on the sides of the engines or protruding out from the bottom for various unit poking reasons.
It's hard to get a visual in my head though. A drop pod would be a much easier concept.

Re: The Riggers - Army idea OK, i tried to edit the darklone drop pod to see if i could get it to not just go down but right so it would embed sidways....It didn't work.

Re: The Riggers - Army idea Nah, too generic, it's been done before, and I'd like something much more... Punk-ish

Re: The Riggers - Army idea Take a look at what the Reapers from Firefly (also Serenity) did with ships, that might be a source of inspiration.

Re: The Riggers - Army idea I'm voting drop pod with a dirty great spike on the bottom.
Kind of like a corkscrew?
Which rotates!

Re: The Riggers - Army idea One more thing- the drop pod must have two versions- one which is designed for use as a vehicle, and one which gibs on impact into several Riggers on team 3. Thus, random attacks from Riggers will come and create three-way battles.
