THat's horrible though, cause then it takes forever to turn on normal metal patches. I absolutely hate the AA exploiters.

The speed of rotation can be defined by the scripter...

Slick.

You still need to get near Stealth units to detect them, right?
I mean the recon-pole doesn't have a better decloak radius, it is just cheap and fast to set up, right? That might be very usefull.

When build on steep hills it seems a little strange that the ground is deformed so much just to put some stick there:

(Maybe the engine just needs some dontdeformground=1 thingy)

On the left is something else I noted: Since when can you attack your own units?
Its even stranger that not everything will shoot at everything, a scouttank ordered to shoot at a lvl1 laservehicle will just follow, but the same tank will shoot at your commander.

that part of the spring engire code is a bit dodgy unless I'm mistaken.

-recon pole added to all sides for detecting stealth/cloaked units

Oh god. This Better not make URC useless. Stealthy cloakables is practicly all it has!

I was afraid of the same thing,but it is not an issue.

Yeah, that was a lucky bullet to dodge.

Nice. Now we just need to get weapons that can spawn units on impact and we can have the Recon Pole launcher from "Metal Fatigue". Sexy.

Alternately, I was just having a fun idea: since this mod is so much about adding different loadouts to a single chassis, how about an alternate loadout for the L1 URC spy mech chassis - a saboteur instead of the recon/miner constructor? Just give the thing a weak point-blank flamethrower. Just so the URC can get a little offensive stealth action at L1.

Just a thought, it may be insane/stupid.

there is a stealth/cloaked plasma unit at lv1 ya know...

*me listens to fang groaning*

*Groans.....

and now for something completely different!

oh snaps! very nice! GD for the win!

Is that a new tank I hear!

Oh fark me! THat looks kick ass! I assume that is a wings model?

That is a wings model, done from scratch by me.. and is a remake of the light GD battle tank.. which is based on an M1 abrams so I looked at some pics of that for detail..

can we please please please have it in the next version as the main chassis?

I want the fnutank so bad

Also, fang, when you feel like it... Could we get a higher poly lv1 urc chassis? That would kick ass. I have always wished they were higher poly.
