Hi everyone.
I am very curious to see what was your choice in the Survey about Possible new Machine Types.
If you still did not do the Official Survey, please go and do it
Of course, that is one of the reasons i created the poll.
Instead of putting those ideas in the official Survey page, we do that here, compare choices and discuss it.
It would be a bit of a mess to do this there.
Now if someone wants to Ask for a certain Machine type, then please do it in a proper and direct way.
But what do you mean by āotherā limbs? Quite curiousā¦
That is why i asked about Spider design, the legs would be a bit different than the ones we have on the game.
If you find something that captures what your imagination is imagining, send it in a private message (or share it here) .
I picked Walkers since we currently have walkers in the game as well and other types wouldnāt fit the game IMO. Though, my 2nd choice wouldāve been Airborne (e.g like Seeker but 3-4 times bigger).
That could be a good excuse for machines catapulted in battlefield upon call (Harvesterās or Reaperās).
Somehow I keep imagining it as big FO2 Vertibird (FO3 and later are tiny AF).
Why everything else? Because with supposed tech we have in game, I see no difficulty for FNIX to install autonomous drone (as in drone of hivemind) with batch of sensors and servos to āassimilateā that dumpload of meatbagsā military scrapheaps of Gripens and 103s into something useful.
Speaking of drones and install. So far Iāve seen only drones have means of manipulating with objects. Harvesterās proboscis doesnāt count as I canāt see how that thing can construct anything. Ticks are ātoo disposableā for that task (albeit cableworks could be performed).
Iād like to see how or who did all that landscape remodel of South Coast region.
Tank with cranes on hips and āarmsā instead of āarmsā?
I mean legged machines are all cool and stuff for actual frontline military operations. But logistics (maintenance, repair and salvage) can be done by simpler machines based on contemporary compacts tracked/wheeled vehicles.
Oh and Iād like to see Seekers fly higher. Because they can.
Amphibians: Your typical hovercrafts, not heavy, not big (about your Saab car);
Machines with buoyancy, probably same old types, but bulkier for volume to be floatable as special class or new machine that can swim - boat with legs (See RA3 Stingrays).
