How is my hover?

It has mediocre steering.
Just built that today along with my first TX-1 block on the nose.

Okay. But what do you think of my new hover?

had some computer issues so had to switch to my chromebook to view it while my computer reboots(weird hard drive queue bug).

and I'm trying to look at it.... and trying to look at it.... and its not loading....

Either comcast or my router... give me a few minutes... -.-

I know I should be using my CPU to the limit, but I don't know what to ~~waste~~ use on it besides extra guns.

it seemed it was steam related. It works now for me.

Your hover looks fine. Hard to really critique anything just from a single external view. Only thing I can say, is you're less effective with SMG's under your bot, you'd be better off having them on the side, or a front mounted smg

Also, the top looks solid, so I would assume just from first chance that it sometimes flips over and doesn't auto-correct itself.

You have a lot of guns... It won't fire more than six, and for a craft this size, repetitive back-ups are less than useful. I would aim more on electroplates and making sure it won't flip. I can not see, what kind of truster do you have in it? It could make a great bullet. Do you have any triforceing or ejectorseat works going on inside?

Its a decent design. I am a fan of a wider hover chassis. in order to make spaced armor. How well does your design take damage from the sides? if you for example get flanked.

I'm not sure about his, but personally my hovers are all designed to take center front damage, they're meant to rotate to face the threat.

And as far as the guns remark, 8 is the "optimal" amount of guns for most types statistically, but more can prove useful depending on playstyle, and specifically what the craft is meant to do(like tanking).

Turn around, run back, turn a 1v2 into 2 1v1s.
It's meant to be 1v1 SMG/support.

T10 and T8 for steering. I have more than 6 because the back-ups are useful.

At least I don't have large sticks for gun mounts.
I poured ~1 mil RP into 100 T10 blocks.
I triforced before, only to find that I am making a shorter route for the damage to flow through. So then I gone back to block armor. Works great vs SMGs.

It does take time, to learn how to make decent triforce. You can exchange the cubes with inner´s. That will save some weight, but you still have the same connection points

Subject: Re: How is my hover? Mon Mar 30, 2015 7:55 am

Triforce should only be done in moderation, and the builds that require it the most are hit and runners. For tanks and frontliners you're better off with solid armor with specific triforce route to absorb anti-gunbrella. (50 to 80% of dmg spreading to mounting block)

You usually wan't a mass of 18 black block for mounting guns, that damage will go trough before entering important section of your craft. Triforce the seat too, lifesaver. Also, try exposing as few component (jammers, radars, thrusters etc etc) as possible outside of your ship as they will anti-gunbrell (lol) too.

Im using crafts theat relies on this principle and never looses a single hooverblade before being disarmed and 30-40%.

I'll try to make a guide about it someday, altough there are a lots on the inter-webs already. Very Happy
