No due date yet... forgot to mention that.
I'm not entirely sure. Maybe two weeks or so...

Build is already done. Weight is exactly 6199 (major tuning). Need to tweak the AI. I'm only going to submit one design.
The coloring scheme of Astroman is horrendous, worse than Voldo.

mmm..looks like there'll be a number of us who will strive to keep our ACs' weight a few points below the limit, while some will be way below...like 5500. I wonder what the range of boost power between the ACs will be? Mid-300s to possibly 500? This should be exciting to watch.
BTW, nice gifs on the last page, animesou. Where they HEY are they from?
Dark, got a question for ya. Is the map fixed at Dewlite for this one? Or are they random?

Good question, Jacques. It's always that little detail that we miss.
I don't really like random, as then what would be good designs might lose due to the terrain. I can understand the logic of putting everyone on even ground, though.
Personally, I'm also kind of tired of Dewlite becoming the default tourney stage. But maybe we'll revisit that one more time, since it seems to be one of the most even fighting grounds.

Well, leptas arena is too small and requires for us to make our ACs not too ranged, and dusk arena has that annoying platform in the middle, accompanied by a bunch of pillars near the surrounding walls.
Dewlite seems to be ideal, but perhaps someone can propose another stage?

Two stages I had in mind were Haton Factory and Igol Island.
Igol Island isn't too bad, but there's a bit of cover behind the platforms.
Haton is one I always used to suggest. I do like the stage and it is one of the flat ones, but it has a few pillars.

the Crest Headquarters place or w/e its called is nice too(that may be Haton Factory, my PSP is dead right now and my charging cord is still at the old house lol...) Edit:W00t...i've made 2 ACs on the creator(just ther parts, no Tuning/Optionals/AI yet) and theyre both under the 6200 limit  |

Dewlite City again?
that airplane hanger can be a good place, even ground with obsticles instead of wide open areas.
In anycase, I'm done with three ACs already and their AI, still not sure they can handle the competition but whatever.

I always liked Rus Field. It has a bit of everything.
A few buildings, A few hills, and an open area.
I think of it as the generic stage and I usually always test my AC there.

But the Grid 1 AC has the tendency to get stuck boosting in place toward the tower early in the match...while Grid 2 can do whatever it wants.

Oh yea, forgot about that.
Thats the terrain detection ability of your AC at work. If it has defensive points in the performance section of the AI it will use that as cover to get closer without taking damage.
A good defensive move if you have an AC with distance from -16 to -8 or so.
Ok so we wont use that stage . . . how about . . . Igol Island?
There is no terrain besides the derelict ship, the ACs start at a descent distance, and . . .well . . .
It just looks cool!

Igol island has the highest ECM noise, right?
I vote for Rus Field, as well!

lol, my current ACs have trouble with Blacklash....not all the time, but it's impressive to see my old AC still being a top contender.
So.....it'll be Igol, Dark?

mmm............those ruins will prove to be tricky and maybe even decide a victorious or two.

Not ruins, a Carrier ship that long ago sank to the bottom of a river.
Now, after many years the river is gone do to the shifting glacier nearby.
And all that remains is it's rusted hulk, that during its descent long ago, sheared in half.

That's what I meant.
You know, in an ant's perspective, those hunks of metal may look like full-scale ruins, so in a way I'm right. ^_^

Lol. Do I sense a hint of sacrasm in that "decide a battle or two" comment?
Well, at any rate maybe we should have a more terrain focused tourney for once... a bit more of a challenge.
