yes

small raft
#

i said something similar on mommen about exosuits, and yes something like tat sounds good

hardy sonnet
#

Isn't centari lore-wise the poorer faction? I imagine it would be the other way around with sol having all the bling, and centari running a fleet of weaponised pickup trucks

charred trail
#

Mechs would make sense like they could be repurposed from other means of work for use in battle.... Might have taken that from a CERTAIN franchise

#

*coughs" Gundam

hardy sonnet
#

Naa man Zaku was a purpose built war machine

#

Or maybe in some series they did that I can't remember xD

charred trail
#

Still it would be cool

#

plus we have to think about the fact that likely the units currently in the game will be fundementally changed

#

for each side

honest merlin
#

I agree, I did say multiple times that centauri should have mechs instead of old prudish tanks with terrain walk to give it more differences between humans.

#

would be cool a 4 legged tank as pulse or plasma fire, maybe a sword mech like as commando with lots of life.

charred trail
#

yea, Sol would have more resources which means they would have more advanced and honestly more straightforward units, Centauri would have to improvise

#

I kinda wanna see like a mix between Dune and Gundam as inspriation

#

for centauri

#

like the light and heavy quad being like a light mech that was fast and agile but was really squisshy

#

and a heavy mech that was slower more like a workhorse

honest merlin
#

like i said in the heavy factory some sort of a Quad legged tank or a biped samurai like with a plasma sword with big health and no ranged weapons would be insanely cool.

#

Sniper mech

honest merlin
#

yes perfect

#

that is the one i had in mind

charred trail
#

yea like have centauri vehicles have more of unconventional way about them

untold nest
#

Repurposed front line mech armed with a large balterium rifle

02-Mech-Desig-Concept-for-the-Entertainment-Industry-Furio-Tedeschi-Artstation.jpg
#

For tier 5

charred trail
#

I feel like both need like a workhorse unit

honest merlin
#

Tier 4 melee unit.

#

lets not oversaturate the mechs lol

#

mechs are super cool

#

but it cant be a factions identity

honest merlin
#

Bro

#

We need a sword like unit

#

To slay them crabs

charred trail
#

hmmmm

honest merlin
#

Would be cool if they added gore animation for the crabs, lost limps after cut and start limping

charred trail
#

I dont really see melee units for humans being a thing

honest merlin
shrewd moth
#

how about instead of mechs we have infantry upgrades in the form of exosuits like the original starship troopers

#

as in the book

untold nest
#

I agree about a melee mech but going full weeb with a samurai mech makes no sense lol

charred trail
shrewd moth
#

maybe add a jump pack for mobility idk

charred trail
#

just like Natural Selection 2

honest merlin
#

Was just an Idea of a melee unit.5504_pepehmm

untold nest
#

@shrewd moth sol infantry already use exo suits

charred trail
shrewd moth
#

really??

untold nest
#

Yes

charred trail
#

they look the same

shrewd moth
#

i'm blind then actually, my bad

untold nest
#

The commando uses an exo suit

charred trail
#

the human factions look exactly the same

honest merlin
#

Yes

#

They already have exos

#

We need some differences between these human factions

#

With the resources of the new planet they got technically better than sol

prisma needle
#

wouldn't it make more sense if sol got Mechs?

charred trail
#

I feel like they wouldnt need mechs in their case

untold nest
#

Also @shrewd moth I'm wanting the quads and tanks replaced with mech that do similar jobs but differently

honest merlin
#

Not really.

#

Sol units are cool

prisma needle
#

They're supposed to be the high-tech faction

shrewd moth
#

mechs are slower and taller by nature so it'd be difficult to balance

charred trail
shrewd moth
#

but it can certainly be done

honest merlin
#

They high tech faction would be centauri, since they explored the new planet with new resources that made the mechs or something

charred trail
untold nest
#

@prisma needle sol already has hover tanks and is finished as a faction mostly I'm focusing on centari

honest merlin
#

Yes^

shrewd moth
#

I just feel like big bulky warmechs are a bit over the top for the economically poorer of the 2 factions

charred trail
honest merlin
#

Yeah

prisma needle
#

I thought when the dev was gonna make them different that he was gonna divvy up the units between the two

charred trail
#

and sol has more resources

shrewd moth
#

give them a worn-down industrial look and tell me they're repurposed construction machines and i'd be down

untold nest
#

They aren't big either look at the pics lol

honest merlin
#

Like rusty mechs

daring sandal
#

I fink they want mechs.

honest merlin
#

Mech is life

untold nest
#

Also this for harvesting

Caterpillar.png
honest merlin
#

Yeah looks cool but instead of the hands some saw to escavate balterium

shrewd moth
#

YES

#

or 2 big drills

honest merlin
#

And since is small

charred trail
honest merlin
#

More than one

#

Since is not advanced to make huge units for harvesters

shrewd moth
charred trail
#

like the Zaku were originally based off Heavy labor mechs, then developed into war machines

honest merlin
untold nest
#

Zaku too big

charred trail
#

Im using them as a frame of reference

#

but you get what i mean

honest merlin
#

Maybe we could have some sort of building difference too

untold nest
#

I'm looking at mechs no bigger then the ones from lost planet or titanfall

charred trail
#

yeah

#

thats a good size

untold nest
shrewd moth
honest merlin
#

Yeah

charred trail
#

agreeed

#

now

#

what weapon would it have?

shrewd moth
#

big minigun

#

lotta dakka

charred trail
#

or would there be different versions with different weapons?

#

like mechanized infantry

#

would cost more

shrewd moth
#

i think it's fair to give a few different designs

untold nest
charred trail
#

One with a Balterium Chaingun

shrewd moth
#

a fast and agile rocket one, a heavy slow minigun one...

charred trail
#

A Railgun

shrewd moth
#

stuff like that

#

railgun could be quadruped since it'd just topple your mech with the recoil

honest merlin
#

I think a 6 legged would hold recoil

#

4 legs wouldn't be enough

#

Based on Physics I know

#

And have some sort of siege button to stay still and place drills in the ground for more precision

shrewd moth
#

the dev better be writing this down...

charred trail
#

for the railgun

untold nest
charred trail
#

what if it was still on 2 but if it wanted to shoot it would have deployable supports

shrewd moth
#

2 legs, deploys 4 supporting legs around it

untold nest
#

Fun fact railguns barely produce recoil

charred trail
untold nest
#

Still think a quad rail mech would be cool

honest merlin
shrewd moth
untold nest
#

Here is an idea, the quads are replaced with bipedal small mechs that focus on mobility and chaff clearance and the tanks are replaced with varying quad mechs

honest merlin
#

That would be fine.

shrewd moth
#

since mechs are naturally slower than dune buggys i still think they should have a form of booster/jet on them

#

for quick bursts of mobility or repositioning

charred trail
untold nest
honest merlin
#

Add maybe a cooldown for every burst use for mobility

shrewd moth
#

yeah, naturally

untold nest
#

Basically just a dodge button

honest merlin
#

Yes

shrewd moth
#

yup

honest merlin
#

Nice Idea

shrewd moth
#

short but fast

honest merlin
#

And smart

untold nest
#

Js if he does give them mechs they need a mech Uber unit

honest merlin
#

Yeah

untold nest
honest merlin
#

Like the aerial transport, is same as Tomorrow Day movie where they drop exosuits on battle with Tom Cruise.

#

Would be lit to see Mechs fall from the sky and make a ground shake when dropped on ground

shrewd moth
#

holy hell YES

untold nest
#

Instead of being a one trick pony like the siege tank this can be more expensive and slower but have mgs and rockets for chaff and duel railguns

shrewd moth
#

titanfall in 3...

honest merlin
#

Best game but sad it died.

charred trail
#

Respawn don did it

honest merlin
#

And instead of the Teleport.
A Drop pod as a moving map for players to teleport.

charred trail
#

and have the regular teleports for sol

honest merlin
#

Like in prospector mode

shrewd moth
#

mobile teleporter in the form of a vehicle for SOL...?

honest merlin
#

You see your unit dropping from the sky with a pod

shrewd moth
#

and a drop ship to which you tp as centauri

#

and some form of underground burrows for the aliens

#

hmmm?

honest merlin
#

Like a player spawner like in hell let loose with the mobile garrison? I think it would be too much

untold nest
#

Ok I'm back I had to congratulate my cult on spreading the word of john

#

Other possible Uber mech

Terran_Crab_Mech_by_goeliath_on_DeviantArt.jpg
shrewd moth
#

siege tank equivalent

honest merlin
#

To me looks like end game mech.

#

Reminds me of Star wars

shrewd moth
#

looks like a mechanized goliath

#

and im all for it

Centauri is supposed to be Low-Tech compared to Sol.

None of these concepts look low-tech to me.
