Mech Transformers?

Post by addseo2015 » Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:16 am

I can clearly see the practical application of robots that can turn into vehicles and stuff; transport, spying and multifunctional fighters/mechs. What is the likelihood this will be in the mod at some point?

Although it's highly unlikely, at some point we could maybe. But that probably isn't within the lifespan of Sol.

Vehicles can be transformed Mr. Potato Head style. You take modules off and replace them with something else (universal sockets), and a vehicle can take on any role. In theory, anyway.
It should be possible to field strip a vehicle, but there won't be any sort of automatic transformation.

And then there's that. Prototype will not model Optimus Prime.

Uhh, you could probably put mech legs on a flying frame. We'll have to discuss control scheme at some point but there is no technical limitation against it.

Can I have G1 Laserbeak? I need a doomsday weapon, or optimus pig? I need my pig robot spies.
Also will there be a way to remotely control robots? (like regular 1st person but maybe with a green tint and a more techy GUI or like computercraft turtles?)
lastly: should the sentence ending punctuation be inside the brackets or after it?: (.) or ().

Punctuation is supposed to be after a parenthesis, IE "().". Brackets, however usually have them inside, IE "[.]" or "{.}".

If you're putting an entire sentence inside the parentheses, and it's not inside another sentence, put the punctuation inside.

Example:
Random sentence. (Random sentence?) Other random sentence.

Otherwise, punctuation goes inside.

Example:
Random (embedded phrase) sentence.
OR
Random (sentence).

EDIT: Wow, the word 'sentence' looks really weird.
