First post. Also, mechs

Post by Serithi »

GAH, i'd typed out the entire message, but when i started uploading the ship files it took me to the login page. When i registered i also checked the box to keep me logged in, but it clearly didn't listen :( so i logged back in, it took me back here, and it didn't keep what i'd typed. Note to self: Copy text to clipboard before uploading anything.

Anyhow, i'm too ticked off to retype everything, so here's the mechs:

(Screenshots taken at 6x zoom. Also, the green parts are team-colored.)

I used HorseMonster_DetailedWeapons, Kae_mch-sw, Kae_mechasw, Kae_shn, Son_shn, and a couple of my own sections which i'll attach to the next post since i've uploaded the maximum of 10 files to this post.


EDIT: Updated Carrier pic.

Those mechs don't look too shabby, although they suffer from stretching and look like they are flying backwards.
wait, those kinda look familiar :D

Oh, btw, welcome to the forums...er, whats left of them.

damn sexy mechs! Most I'd do is change up some of the paldrons and visors to give some variety, but good choice of weapons and execution of team colors! To avoid the upload limit, its generally easiest to add all the ships to one folder and zip it. In this case they seem to use the same sections but for a fleet I just paste in the same folder name for each when I export the sections so you only end up with one set of section pack folders. Looking forward to more from you!

Familiar as in (brag time) I happen to be an accomplished mech maker. Come to think of it I should release my next batch.

New mech, updated Carrier with extra Team-color panels and longer range for its laser (i forgot to test it when i made the ship, so i didn't realize the range was so short), and made another sig pic.

Result of Breaker's main gun firing:

EDIT: Updated Breaker. I hadn't put armor on the rest of the body, so now i have :P. And i put the files up so you can download the mech.

nicley done. although you've stretched some sections, it doesn't really show very much, and at default zoom i doubt you'd be able to see it at all. the sectionwork and colouring is nice and interesting. and that gif is pretty awesome too =D
There is no OP, there is only more boosters...

WOW these are really good mechs however I don't seem to see the point in the sheild one beause the sentilel is better armed and has an agies sheild. but still nice mechs and ohhh very nice big sentilel gun :D.
I think the induction of "LOL" "OMG" and "<3" into the Oxford English Dictionary is a sign of the End Times. Only, instead of a rider on a pale horse, it'll be a gibberish-spewing spastic in a monster truck named "The Dildozer".

Thank you :3. Also, it's not an Aegis shield, it's just a couple of sections i put a slight Aegis effect to, and it only protects that mech anyway. Whereas the Shield mech is able to cover several mechs.

My biggest problem is the ridiculously stretched weapons. The sentinel and hunter are the worst, and the pd's on the shield aren't too pretty either.
As cool as the newest one looks I must say it should keep the place directly in front of the torso much more open. Otherwise it looks less like a mech. A bit of advice; Using combinations of the DST sprites near the end and alpha-ing weapons over or under them can lead to much "cleaner" looking guns. I know you saw my large one but I think you should see my smaller ones so you can get an idea of what I'm saying.
...all at your leisure of course.

They are a section type that can fit in with shiny sections really well. Kaelis made them.
