Yet again - things are looking great. The units really seem to have that toy soldiers appeal I mentioned in my last post about the development diary. I would even love to see real toys made from the Talos mech, with interchangeable parts - how incredible would that be!! The game sounds wonderful too- small, fast battles, with an Army of Talos robots - I think I am sold on the idea already. I won't mind losing a battle, it sounds fun to watch |

Well spotted! I had that in mind when I was building it.

Extra storage on most units allows them to carry extra ammo. When ammo runs low units get a penalty to their firning rate It's possible on specifically the Talos, that it could also contain other things. The laser spotter will help increase accuracy for targetted weapons like missiles, it may also be required for firing some other weapons we have in mind. |

I noticed the latest mech designs for Battletech seem to be trying to bring back an element of hand-to-hand combat in the game. I guess they've been playing too much Warhammer or something.  Are you thinking of putting melee weapons on your mechs or keeping things a little more realistic? Cuz if you do go with melee weapons, you MUST model dismemberment damage. We need to see limbs flying! |
