TShinzon updated XS Corporation Mechs with a new update entry:

Update 1.04 - Hotfix for Enraged Koala

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Thx for the headsup.

 

gratz on making it into the chronicle!

 

Any one else getting a stack trace error when trying to start your starbound?

 

Oh my god why is this not in the base game? These are so awesome!

 

haha just another mech lover with some free time

WIP:



Not sure exactly where I'm going with this...modular Rho? Weapon choices maybe? There's enough room on the sprite sheet to comfortable fit a few other guns. Not fully decided yet, or if so, how it would work. The gun itself here is very basic and a proof of concept more than anything.

So, what's next for this mod? Here's what I've been thinking:

1.) Hopefully with the new patch "Enraged Koala" there are some engine changes that can accommodate improvements to this mod. Supposedly armors can enable techs now; when I (or more likely someone else) figure out how this works, it will be interesting to consider the possibilities.

2.) I want to revisit the Sigma mechs and improve them to really fill the role of versatile exploration mech.

3.) Maybe a new mech? I'm thinking size range between the Rho and Sigma models, but I am trying to figure out what kind of role it would fulfill, how it would be unique, etc.

As always, I appreciate your thoughts/comments/questions/etc!

 

those animations looks to awesome *.*

Is it possible for you to make a mech that can sprint/run is short distances? that would be really cool. Everything is this mod you made is already pretty awesome. Great work and I really wish they would add this in the vanilla

 

A truly fantastic mod. I can tell you spent a lot of effort on this and to thank you for that effort I just created a FULL showcase that I voice acted and showed it to my subs on YouTube!

 

hey man, just tested the pirated rho and like you said (i think in some previous post xD), he is heavier than the normal rho mech. so i was thinking maybe you could add some emergency jets like the theta mech!
and i loved the machinegun in the gif :O would this be a new version of the pirated rho or you found a way to swap weapons?

 

Hey there, the Rho mechs can sprint forwards by holding Shift. Unless maybe you mean something else? Let me know!

Wow thanks, that is an awesome video! Much appreciated
I'll be sure to put this on the front page!

I'm not decided yet; both the regular Rho and the Pirated Rho have all the materials as far as coding to use these guns, I'm just unsure about the mechanics. Should it be an item on your hotbar? Should a button swap weapons? Still figuring out what works.

 

unless you want to make future mechs able to use all the weapons, a button to swap would be my choice, if possible. with mechs having their own personal weapon set

 

I have removed the old file from my steamapps and put the new one but now my game won't run saying that i have files that no longer exist

 

Terrific work you have done with these mate, I love these animations.
Say is there any way you would be interested in creating something along the lines of "Pacific Rim"? I think Gipsy Danger or Striker Eurika- like models would look great.

 

But what makes them different from the other mechs besides a new model? If any new mech should be considered, it would be something more along the lines of exo-suit or mining gear once people figure out how the new (or soon to be???) commands work that let these mods change player status and add modifications directly. We already have large, big, and huge(!) mechs.

What about small mechs? Shoot, what about pet mechs? Heh. Who needs a dog when your Mishuta K-9 Mark IV has a kinetic repellant field (ie. knock-back hostile mobs) and a standard issue hardpoint mount for the plasma rifle? Ok, so petting it won't be the same. And 'doggie treats' would consist mainly of uranium rods...

 

Uhm, well obviously one could think of any kind of mech he would like. In the end it's all up to the author. I personally feel that huge humanoid mechs could be much more popular than small or mining mechs, but hey, just my 2 cents.
In short: because they are the coolest mechs.

 

wow, this is nice, the first, smaller mech, could you make a converted variant of it as a miner mech? As a small sized driller with the miniguns replaced (maybe in a darker orange color) ?

 

i wish mechs didnt use energy but thats more of a starbound complaint than a mod complaint

 

Awesome work, it would be really cool if you could find several versions of the Tier 10 mech, that act the same but are aesthetically different. For example, a black version with blue as the secondary color/lighting (like the human's Universalist's armor), with the USCM logo on the side, the rail cannon shoots blue plasma and the grenades are Plasma Grenades.

 

Question: the mech with the tractor beam....is it possible to make a mech variant that is specialized in capturing creatures, ideally by firing pokeballs at it while it is grabbing them?

 

if this doent get into the base game then there is no god

im hopeing for more 6-8 teir mechs

oh and a mech that has a "solarbeam/hyperbeam" that would me way cool

oh and dont forget a giga drill braker
