Art (#4) - Warrior weapon, and HAK name (#12) - Message List

I don't think its weapon is ugly at all, but I will second that it could do with a renaming.

1) Warrior EMG is ugly. Give it back its red lasers please. (Before you say "it doesn't fit Arm", consider that the Banshees already got their EMGs taken away and replaced with beamlasers)

The laser was very hard to balance on the Warrior. An area of effect weapon is more suited to it's role (anti-swarm) and speed. I agree, EMGs are ugly, that's why I submitted a patch that allows modders to customize plasma projectiles. The Warrior will look a lot better in .75.

I tried lasers, rockets, Gauss cannons, shotguns, acid sprays, and dual automatic cluster bomb launchers before almost scrapping the Warrior. TheFatController? came just in time with a working implemetation of dual EMGs, the ones you see now.

2) HAK needs a new name. Heavy AK is just...uninspired. How about Outlaw? Mercenary?

In the first days, we were planning a family of AK bots: the HAK, the now scrapped Missile AK, and the never realized Amphibious AK. Now that only the HAK is left, it makes sense to change name.

By the way, did you guys remember to fix the descriptions for the storage buildings? They still state the old values in beta1.

EMG weapons look and feel destructive. Shooting them at hapless Aliens is satisfying.

Good choice, although imagining a CORE robot being an "outlaw" seems a little far fetched. Generally, those two names imply some sort of decision-making ability or independence.
