Those that are BOLD are highly desired and would make good package mechs as they would sell well.
Crab-like Mechs:
- Should be the first units to have MASC
- Head is a turret and should be able to fire 360 degrees without the torso moving
- The pilot’s point-of-view can travel with the turret independent of the torso using a release keystroke and a return keystroke to return to being locked with the torso
- Should gain a special speed bonus on flat terrain due to Vulture-like inverted leg structure
- Should be able to close “claws” if present like the Catapult closing its blast doors to protect the weapons inside
- Missiles should launch from the top of them, not from the front or sides of them, arc up and then towards the target (this would be of benefit in city environments – shooting up and over nearby buildings)
Four-legged/Six-legged Mechs:
- Should be the first units to have MASC
- Head is a turret and should be able to fire 360 degrees without the torso moving
- The pilot’s point-of-view can travel with the turret independent of the torso using a release keystroke and a return keystroke to return to being locked with the torso
- Should gain a special speed bonus (reduced penalty) on hilly and inclined terrain due to use of multiple sets of legs to climb with ease
- Should be able to climb steeper inclines with less penalties to speed due to multiple sets of legs providing greater support
- Should be able to close “claws” if present like the Catapult closing its blast doors to protect the weapons inside
- Missiles should launch from the top of them, not from the front or sides of them, arc up and then towards the target (this would be of benefit in city environments – shooting up and over nearby buildings)
