Spring RTS Engine

why dont we have any kbots that punch or kick each other? we should have a unit that looks like the maverick and can punch the enemy and do lots of damage.

Melee. A common request.

melee for OTA-based mods is something relatively original, though ^^

Well, a few people have suggested it. We even have crush by some OTA units since we can't have true melee yet.

TA Kingdoms showed why it is not appropriate in an engine specifically designed for ranged-fire weaponry.

Which is not to say the occasional melee weapon is a bad thing, or even can't be done (it can be done in a hacky way), but it shouldn't really form the basis of a mod.

:idea:
What about like, one unit that can defend itself from attacks, with a plasma shield or something?
