hey guys, PMs work fine too. it'll save me wading back a few pages to find DSMK2's reply.

i think you need a good drop-pod; rather than the drop box, something a bit more.. streamlined.
it would be great to see this get simplified down to say.. 10-15 really polished weapons, a few bombs and mines, 3-4 walkabout actors, 3 crafts, a few "special" units (stationary brain, walkabout brain, that awesome huge stomper-railgun-monsterbot) and the bunkermodules. it would be nice for it all to be set out nicely, and to have really polished effects as well. currently, you get some starring (the huge troughs cut into the terrain by oversharp particles) and generally not enough lingering effects. the wounds could have better effects on them aswell, for example have the burst on the exitwounds have a few Gib Metal Grey Micro A MOSPs, and maybe some properly dangerous energy leaking (take the lightning code from the darkstorm stuff, and make it a lot weaker but arc about for longer). oh, also, some unique things would be good, the robots doing robot stuff thing is cool and all, but it just doesnt feel interesting. make interesting stuff happen for the player (dangerous but awesome looking exitwounds, robots exploding into blue energy arcs, smoke, and bits of junked mechanics, cool looking explosions that leave some smoke and other residue behind, etc etc.). currently the most fun moment i've had with this mod was the first time i ever ordered a Tantus. face did this then this .
the gibs need a bit of work aswell, they look far to clean, especially in the Tantus' case.
id honestly rather play with something that doesnt have too much, but what it does have it does a bloody good job of, than something that has heaps of pretty looking, boring to use stuff.

Wait DSMK@ what is the button you talked about it looked like"..."?

I don't really think AAL is overpowered at all anymore.
DSTech however...

That looks awesome, what are you going to do with the old sprite?

I've never understood laser shotguns, whats up with those? : S
Lasers are usually very accurate weapons that deal very high damage to a single point. A shotgun just seems wierd. But still, ignore me since its just how I feel. : p

Is the missile launcher still that massive rocket with the massive explosion? How about something more spready to take out alot of weak-ish targets at once.
A missile swarm cannon. You could say its a rocket shotgun of some sort and to give it some extra ordinary appeal, make the rockets be first slowed down by AirResistance after being fired and after a short delay their boosters activate and ram straigth ahead.

I based the laser shotgun after the laser shotguns in Armored Core...

Also is what does the railgun do?
Is it a ballistic version of a sniper or something different?

Also, how does the grenade launcher function? If its a single shot weapon, change it to an automatic launcher with more ammo, but smaller explosions so you could spam a clip of grenades and then watch them explode one by one or in a nice big bunch.
