lol, well the magnetic gun module is pretty overkill, its pretty huge (takes up 2 hardpoints), I haven't measured it yet so don't know the exact caliber, but a direct hit would probably demolish a mech, if you hit a tank with that you probably wouldn't be able to find much of it, but it has very limited ammo due to size and a slow rate of fire because of the heat, so you probably wouldn't use it for anything less than a mech. The anti mech missiles are even bigger, and would definately trash a mech with one hit, but they are vulnerable to active defences.

Did some work on the head/neck area today. I think I will try to work out the 3rd toe next so it doesn't look like a chicken, but has more stability than it does now.

whew, ok now I think I may have to have a mech in my story. This thing is inspiring to say the least.

Ha drool, do I see infrared decoy emitters, smoke grenade launchers? I loooove the sensor suite! Beautiful!

I never really got into mecha, myself (apart from the Eva from NG:E, which as Manga, doen't really count), so I don't really have the right to comment on the overall design, but I know it has been mentioned about balance and the reducing number of toes, but the pounds per square inch these narrow feet must place on the ground would be huge, hope it doen't run across any soft earth or swampy ground!

thanks dude. I highly doubt it would be a problem as it is, but either way I'm trying to add the 3rd toe back in now. I don't see this as being a serious problem anywhere where normal vehicles can travel now (swamps would screw anything over, even this thing), I mean look at humans, we have very small footing area when compared to our weight, yet we don't exactly fall through everywhere. Besides if it ever gets into crap it can use the boosters to kinda jolt itself out

Scientificly speaking Humans shouldnt even be able to walk. lol but we do.

Added a simple 3rd toe, also did some work on the coil gun module. The final configuration will have 1 coil gun, 1 80mm cannon, 1 sam, 1 atgm which only leaves 1 back hardpoint empty. I'm thinking a UAV module, but not too sure yet.

Yes, but can it dance like the car in the citroen ad?
