    Was a massive pain in the ass to get the damage pulses docked, but it was definitely worth it \o/

    The build a mech workshop
    As a side project to give my CPU a break I thought I'd build some modular mech components for you guys to have some fun with. Just dock the components together and voilla you have a mech. The only minor complication is that when docking a torso to set of legs you have to link the wireless module(s) on the torso to the wireless module(s) on the legs.

    Please note that each weapon has an onboard ai module that must be activated in order for it to function.

    This basic torso features 2 arm mounts and a single fixed shoulder hardpoint.

    Steel Battalion is where it's at.... because if you're gonna do it, do it with over kill.



    Epic work on the mech OP. I can't wait to see it up and moving :))))

    You should post about the 10x larger version you're making.

    This is the huge one, the one that this is 10x larger than died when my HDD exploded.

    Edit: If there was one ten times larger than this then the hand alone would be over a km.

    Unfortunately its never gonna get finished, I rebuilt the whole thing a while back and it came out much better, but once it gets to the forearm its already nearly a km long and at that point block placement becomes limited by the game-engine let alone my computer.

    That sucks, It would've been awesome to see it finished, cutting through massive ships with that sword.

    Well, time to build a carrier for twelve of that. Also, new idea: card games in space! I summon the Dark Magician!
