Grah...

*starts pushing to finish spriting it*

The ginormous mech is indeed a beautiful piece of work, but I doubt it'll actually be all that fun to use, as nothing other than another intelligent player can stop the thing's apocalyptic rampage. There's a reason why I don't use things like the MPAM. It's really hard to get the AI to put up enough resistance. I just don't get much enjoyment out of smashing through wave upon wave of enemies without any risk.

The DSA1 was intended as a second to last boss unit. In the first few phases the player will be forced to destroy it with what limited forces he has, as it prevents his/her units from being deployed. In another part it goes berserk and attempts to kamikaze your neat little bunker. In a long and simple map, you have a single goal, kill it before it reaches you. The easy way out would be to bomb it, but I doubt some simple bombs will hurt it that much, unless its a bunker puncher... Then there's that weak spot... I think there's some mods that allow the player to hamper movement, mines, etc.

PDU - Planet Defense Unit: (Should I bother?)
Enough firepower to knock a single large killer asteroid from a collision course little by little, so a group of them are usually needed. Armed with rail guns that shoot high mass, high density shots with extreme precision. Fairly useless on the planet level though. <Original>

GDU - Ground Defense Unit: (What I'm working on now)
Protects vital installations, usually a relay point (important since the expeditionary DSA forces are controlled by command nodes aka \brains, these receive orders and command the DSA units, however they have their own sentience... What I'm working on now.) Their "arms" contain three weapons.

DSA1 Gun Arm:
3x12 MRLs - Can fire up to 72 Missiles... Medium reload speed
Cannon - Arcing shots that fly a long distance, fast, bad for DSA units though. Long reload speed
Chain Vulcan - Close range weapon... Medium reload speed, high round count though.

Now times that by 2... Defense my ass...

VDU - Variable Defense Unit: (long time later)
A rare test type with arms and hands, these mount the (ginormous) rare and powerful (wtf look at the size of that SMG!) versions of the weapons in the regular DSA unit arsenal, might make something as a tribute to Ginormo Sword...

In skirmish mode, the price of these things would be too insane to buy. Unless you can mine the whole map bare or have some kind of gold generation device. You'll almost never get to buy the thing. But I wonder what it would be like in a multiplayer skirmish...

Now that, my friend, is where it would get fun. I've always liked doing things such as take a Kloveska soldier with a rocket launcher and take out MPAMs. I'd have to go through a few soldiers in the process, but that's what I like. Going up against impossible odds and claiming victory.

That...hmm. That...huh. I really...don't know what to say. That has PASSED "too huge to be fun," and gone straight on to "so fudge ridiculously huge that the sheer inanity of using such a monstrous monstering monstrosity hits you and you begin to laugh maniacally."


Seriously man, I love you, but there is something so ridiculously wrong with that mech. LOLOLOL WHEN WILL IT BE RELEASED?!?!?!1/
Seriously though, I wanna raep things with that.

Love this mod.One of my 3 fav mods.

Um... its too big for 640x480 size

Its supposed too be HUGE.

This thing isn't unnecessary at all. Nope. Not at all.

Also, as much as the individual details are excellent, I still have my usual complaints about your shading.

-Make parts further back, like, one shade darker (or the closer parts one shade lighter). Like, the big gun arm should be, in general, a shade lighter than the head and torso.
-Put a shadow between nearer and further parts wherever possible. For instance, the big, lighter colored front part of the leg should cast a small shadow on the darker, lower back part of the leg, since I assume it sticks out more towards the viewer. Actually, it looks like you did this on that "mouth" thing thats sticking out. Do it in more places.
-Even if an object doesn't have rounded or angled edges, still make the upper edges one shade lighter than the rest of it, and the lower edges one shade darker than the rest of it. It looks like you did this on the lower edge of the light-colored "band" that looks like its wrapping around the dark lower back part of the leg. Again, do it in more places.

Of course, now that I think of it, the upper parts of the robot looks more detailed than the lower parts. Maybe you aren't done yet... Still, take heed of my first point, as I suggested this to you ages ago. The further back something is, the darker it should be!

Also, I assume the way the thing will work is that you "switch" between weapons, but they just look the same and fire from the different parts. I always figured thats the way I'd do it if I made some mech with multiple fixed weapons.

Oh my Gravy Pancakes in a Basket!

I. Want. That.

Yeah i am too.But not that "MEGA" size.Make it a little smaller , because i love to play CC 640x480 because of backgrounds , and that this Is HUGE.

Gargh I already aggressively darkened the BG parts of my actors! *Head banging* No one noticed dammit!

Still working on the DSA1's sprites though...

^ I think he was referring only about huge mech, we can see the shading on the normal units...

So... you're (maybe) planning to make something bigger than that? (the PDU) wow.

Better start upgrading your computers so you'll be able to play at higher resolutions, otherwise you'll miss all the fun & epic :D
