Standoff weapons are the future but they're not cool

Overall high mass of mechs means they are slow, plus they are easier to take down than tanks/planes. But they are adaptable as a jack of all trades
Uses in RP or alternate timelines requires the timeline to be about mechs or have good tech, or in the kinda far future
On a serious note, "muh privacy" nuts are wack

Depends obviously, music tools/software help people fulfil their artistic ideals more easily, but also means more subjectively/objectively bad content because the bar of entry is lowered. Same argument as free art software

Or you could just find good music, stay off the bits you don't like. You can try looking at smaller labels and indie artists
@BadFreed light turns on if Input is not exactly 0. Doesn't matter if it's positive or negative.
If VALUE=0.5, then the input below is 0 until throttle is above 50%
@BadFreed v e r y l a t e (all of these have been implemented in some form in 1.9)
Try Throttle > VALUE ? 1 : 0 where VALUE is the throttle% from 0 to 1. Light turns on when Throttle is higher
Do not use my old light bar system
@TrislandianAlliance an audio device swap isn't too fancy, especially if you can (or in these parts, must, because personal garages aren't a thing) go to a shop to do it
@TrislandianAlliance that's interesting
I don't know if my family's older car (early 2000s) has a cassette player stock, it was modded before i could remember it
@ArcturusAerospace that's just a limitation of physics
See if you can increase the steps rate, or use a more running animation. You'll want the feet to move faster
@ArcturusAerospace just see my mecha
Basics:
- use sine or cosine functions of time, multiply time by a number to change the period (example: sin(Time*180), period = 2 sec)
- if the rotator starts in the middle of the range, use sine (example: hip joint)
- if the rotator starts at an end, use cosine (example: knee joint and ankle joint)
- you can offset the range of a function by adding or subtracting a number
- use functions of your input like Pitch, Throttle etc as a switch
- check one leg first and make sure it moves correctly, then mirror and replace the Time function so one leg moves after the other (Time*n -> Time*n+n), check for movement in the correct direction
If you don't want smooth movement, you can experiment with pingpong()
@ArcturusAerospace the article you linked has weapon examples and tactical strategies, so just choose something suitable and that you like
I don't know anything about warhammer 40k, only seen a few pics here and there. Not a fan of their mech designs
Suggestion: lighter weapons are better for urban combat, so basically, probably don't rocket launcher
@ArcturusAerospace small mech for urban earth environments: My favorite design reference, the size class is slightly bigger
Tips:
- consider the era (of your story), combat environments and styles, organisation using the mech, and for special versions, the pilot's preferences
- futuristic weapons have a greater downpayment but may be cheaper in the long run due to not needing physical ammo, plus more difficult to maintain, traditional weapons rack up prices over time
- futuristic weapons become more accessible over time
My own weapon choices: I still largely use autocannons and missiles despite being set in the similar timeframe
@TheFantasticTyphoon tbf most of us will probably have it lol

Finally, some good tech

Lol, imagine trying to have privacy

I don't think you can make an actual mouse aim, but I might know how to make "novice controls" from ace combat

seems similar to standard curved panelling, just that it's for wings
@NotFinn55 yes, you can use/refer to the codes if you like

@asteroidbook345 account age is how old your account is, not your actual age
It prevents people from making a throwaway account just to troll
@spefyjerbf just have a points or account age requirement, works on reddit
Even something like 100 points + 1 week should be more than enough

pretty ok, there's still online learning, and it's not anarchy yet

Would be nice to have more challenge missions
+1@ArcturusAerospace that's just a limitation of physics

@ArcturusAerospace n=180 for 1 step/second.
Higher n -> faster steps
Also try making n variable with an input if you want variable speed
If you are too close to the ground, the game thinks you are on the ground, so it respawns with 0 speed

It seems railguns for heavier attacks, lasers for lighter attacks
Laser turrets like snowstone base can be good against light spacecraft
