Connect 'em all! I'm pretty sure he wants the mechs to be a class of mechs, but probably won't be the first mechs you get in the game...
Yah, only certain ones could connect with each other, they would all be smaller mechs with the same speed although some might have different weapons on them
Dear god, have you SEEN the beam-up animation? If this were implemented as one of the top teirs of vehicle building the mods of a server could dress up as the power rangers and fly about resolving intergalactic disputes... This just might be one of the greatest game ideas of all time...
I could see a clan of K'MEX riders. When they face a boss they all say "FINAL FORM" and they all connect to form one monstrosity.
Oh my god that would be amazing! I can imagine a PVP battle where two clans form their own fully humanoid mech and duke it out using laser eyes, shoulder missles, and finger-mounted Gatling guns! The battles collateral damage would destroy half the planet! But I have a question. What would stop someone from attaching themselves to a compatible enemy mech? Well, I suppose there could be a screen saying "are you sure? yes/no" but what would stop someone from using that screen as a distraction?
Well in PVP they will probably have teams to stop that from happening, but if not a request might come up in chat, like a trade request in runescape if you ever played.
Ahhh a chat request would make much more sense. What do you think a good cap for joined mechs would be? I think 4 is a good number for simplicities sake.
Yah, I was thinking 4 or 5, probably 5 so one person can drive, and there can be four other things attached.
I would rather choose Voltron over the Power Rangers Transformers have also some cool combining Mechs. Mechs that can be customized like in Mechwarrior would be epic. And if you add some Gundams *hehe*...Mech Love
hmmm, i like the idea of creating multiple mechs for different purposes, like you have a couple of mechs that attach to create a miner, the way it would work is one would move, one would dig, one you be the head which would scan stuff and provide light, that kind of thing. Same with others, like combat. one does the maneveurs, one can scan the creature or other mech combo or just mech, and get the info, and one could control some weapons, etc etc
What about vehicles? Does it have to be all mechs or can there be at least ONE mech with helicopters, jets, and tanks attached as long as all of them have combining modules! Also, what dictates which person drives, which person mans the rail guns, Etc.? Could you combine several vehicles into a SUPER VEHICLE. Like combining 5 jets into a flying battleship covered in weapons!
