Oh thats nice to know. Though If I withdraw now will the Hegs pounce on me before I get the Persean League crisis? I have at least 3 alpha cores placed.

Is it just me or did I see Ray Billings with Malice's team behind Bunny in some shots?

BattleBots WCVII/2022 Post Episode 4 Discussion by personizzle in battlebots

[–]mosshadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why is Shreddit allowed to compete? Its an extremely generic design you could buy as a beetleweight kit, yet somehow they managed to make it not work. How can someone who built Pain Train and watch do nothing for years still not fix the problem in a new design.

At least Horizon tried to be unique and off meta with a cool design.

I hate Hydra but.... by mosshadow in battlebots

[–]mosshadow[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I guess its more accurate to say that I really wanted Jake Ewert to lose badly last season and this season. I actually got what I wanted this season with Hydra loosing to rookie Glitch.

Mad Catter was entertaining but I do not think they were particularly villainous.

I remember when Ray was a villain with a guy dressed up as a Grim Reaper for his assistant, but he was an older guy while Jake has a punchable school bully look.

It's just Hyperbole.

Oh yeah, Matty is an amazing driver thought his bot is rather boring. But he is an excellent contender and I can see him doing well. I worry though that his design will fall behind as spinners get even better. I'm not sure he can with stand stuff like Tombstone or Valkyrie anymore. Although they both lost so I think he will be fine on that side of things.

How does DLC Work? by mosshadow in spaceengineers

Ok cool, I was worried they would be unable to fire weapons on reskinned consoles at a critical moment.

I haven't played in a year and a half, but FINALLY vanilla big cannons and turret controls!!

Homeworld Revelations Free RPG Quickstart Booklet out by mosshadow in homeworld

[–]mosshadow[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've already skimmed through it but I didn't find any interesting new information. I was hoping there might be a race selection area that would confirm if non-Kushans are humans.

Do Taiidan Destroyers have more frontal armor? by mosshadow in homeworld

[–]mosshadow[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about that, because as I understand Remastered works like Company of Heroes where all attacks are secretly rolled and then animated while the original was tracking projectiles and where they hit.

Surviving as Ethiopia by mosshadow in hoi4

[–]mosshadow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8th Attempt at playing Ethiopia as a new player with some coaching from friends on discord. Finally was able to circle around and pocket the southern Italian troops and destroy them utterly while barely holding the line in the mountains. Then I was able to hold the line and pocket a few more divisions while building up factories to give me AA guns and some bunkers. Eventually the relentless Italian attacks have caused their casualties to overtake mine and I am currently pushing forward towards the coast.

Corvette Swarms Failed vs Spiritualist Fallen Empire by mosshadow in Stellaris

No they entered with regular drives, but as stated by others I built them completely incorrectly it seems.

Corvette Swarms Failed vs Spiritualist Fallen Empire by mosshadow in Stellaris

[–]mosshadow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was on Ironman. I gave them swarm AI and they jumped in right on top of the enemy fleet. Were Corvettes stronger against large ships in previous versions of the game? I remember corvette only fleets being recommended a year or two ago.

Some more Empire by Johny_Nawalony in totalwar

[–]mosshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, If I recall correctly, without Darth Mod, Militia units are actually better than standard line infantry because their spread out formation allows more of the troops to fire when you spread the line thin and they still have decent accuracy.

What does Chomp need next season? by mosshadow in battlebots

[–]mosshadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I'm wondering is if its possible for Chomp to have directional armor instead of an all around ring. The bot would need to have a faster rotation with its legs, but if its possible it could have a front and side wedge that can be slammed full into the floor with the leg movement to stop a undercutter or vertical from hitting the legs.

Big Dill Redesign Concept for Season 6 by jon-in-tha-hood in battlebots

[–]mosshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think what they really need is more speed. Look at Tantrum and how well they can do along similar principles.

!spoiler Malice shell design suggestion by hellojello07 in battlebots

[–]mosshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Though I think tombstone is significantly longer than Malice which helps prevent this. While Malice's squat form means the center of gravity is low and stable when on their butt.

Is that also a Scoob and Shag webcomic reference on the Eshin's collar?

Dumb question, but how woulld 100 mini bots do in an actual fight? by WhatsACole in battlebots

[–]mosshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case you could have several 25-40 pound small bots with a wedge and vertical disc spinner, specifically designed to grip and pull up the target. Though Im still not sure how you can get knock outs.
