Robotics. That is my favorite kind of competition, one that has robotic elements. The perfect fusion of logic and rails. I am also a bit interested in making pirate and trading guild fleets that are distinctive from each other. The new Wave Management option should really help with that. Also...

Hopefully someone checks to see if that is overpowered. Imagine, just starting out in your little jumper, and BAM! a giant capital ship with interdictors spawns in. I can totally see how you would dislike that prospect. Also, there is an option to remove likes.

schema: You mentioned some advanced algorithms for reducing turret lag? I am certainly curious on how they work. EDIT: Pirate waves with interdictors would be just plain mean...

How come no one suggested the Insane Gravity Room? A room, that, if you wander into it, you will be caught into a never ending loop of gravity shifts. My brigs are going to work this way, but I will have to test a bit for viability. A more useful application could be for catapulting players...

Current Progress: Got it somewhat stable, But I'll have to reiterate a few times. It has a bad habit of flipping over, and you can break the system by ordering a turn before it is safe, thus breaking the mechanism. I am putting this project to rest for the moment to try to finish the...

Here is a whirling glimpse of my compact Ranger Prototype: Here is the principle behind it's operation in action: It is capable of both forwards and backwards traversal, complete with a 90 degree steering system. To fix the problem with the doors not lining up with the pre-made holes, I...

Ok, I already have ideas for a system that only takes up five blocks tall of space, without requiring a slot, and still capable of 90degree rotation. If and when I get a chance I will try to develop the first prototype.

I knew that shutting off rails improved it's stability, but I had no idea that it also shuts down collision checking. I am probably going to have to retrofit some of my builds to include this.

Ok, I will try my own take on a 45degree crawler system. I noticed you already figured out my next suggestion for compacting it. I saw that you got a 90 degree system(either that, or your mech sidesteped), complete with trench-crossing capabilities. The spikes don't work, do I will do my best...

I generally leave my speed at the default in single-player. The reason is so that I can easily tell what I'm doing with overdrive modules. Another reason is that the jump drives and the overdrive modules kind of make the speed problem moot. Regardless, while I keep my singleplayer default, I...

You just need a bigger slot for the leg: I will try to come up with some examples soon(or I'll see what you mean). As for the deployment, It really sounds like an obnoxious problem. I will see if I can devise some workaround. However, due to work, It won't be for a little while. Perhaps you...

I was actually going to suggest a similar system. You don't necessarily have to stop moving to turn: you could queue the turn in memory, and have the leg wait until it is slotted into the ground, then turn in addition to the original animation. This would prevent loss of speed. A pulse sent back...

YESSSSSSS THEY FIXED THAT BUG!!!!! *Ahem* Exemplary job! Have a cookie. I'm off to rebuild my mecha arsenal next time I get a chance, so exiting! The battleship can go on hold for now.

You have rebooted my interest in mechs with your amazing crawler/walker, and for the first time in a long, long time ago, I am exited to experiment and see what I can do with self-propelled vehicles. Thank you.

That is a very clever system! I was building a battleship, wondering if I would have a specialized hangar for spider tanks. Yep, if you can put a turret on it without it glitching out, I will certainly carry an entire platoon of spider tanks. EDIT: Looks like the kind of stuff that can go in...

Now, if this system could support receiving and carrying out orders(perhaps with waypoints/pathfinding), and multiple process support, I'm all for it.

If you have an AI on your battleship, and set your faction to declare war on hostile action, then your battleship(and potentially your entire fleet) would try defend itself from attackers, so long as you have a faction member on board when they log out, they will spawn with the ship and take it...
