OT: Ahh, after noticing your avatar I finally see the Fallout reference XD Maybe you see Fallout reference in my nick as well_ (Hint: sadly, many online services and games require longer nicks than three characters)

Hehe,

so, you are a supercomputer_ Now your incredible strong gameplaystyle makes sense :P

Played Fallout 3&Vegas so far, don't know the old ones 1&2 and i can't wait for number 4. But Vegas wasn't that great, but more fun to play compared to another titles.

Kind Regards,
Galaxy Radio

The amount of time mechs spend in the air looks kinda goofy, and in my opinion, hurts the aesthetic / general feel of the game.

When I first launched Hawken, I felt the same about dodging in general.

Haha,

now i have a realy big problem to play another FPS Shooter, because thereis noe Side Dodging and iam smashing all the time the Shift Button, but nothing happens. If you got there in another games, you have to realize, that that is a thing you realy like it, or very used too. For me, its both. At first it was hard, because i havn't used something like that before beside of maybe a japanese action game with mechs in air flying all around, called Boost Side Dodge or somthing like that, but over a little time it was normal for me.

I played Hawken more than all FPS Shooter together ive every played (Singleplayer, dont play multiplayer/Onlinegames), so iam a little sad, if there is no side dodge.

Kind Regards,
Galaxy Radio

Yeah I feel ya Galaxy Radio, I also need some time to adjust in other games with the doding. Still, once I panic, muscle memory kicks in and I try to boost or side dodge. The new Shadow Warrior actually has that option. \o/

Default.

That and make them usable once per air session. Having C-class mechs floating like beautiful butterflies with their immense fuel tanks and heavy armor makes me cringe.

It already requires level 21 to get it, is that not a level up perk_

I would say keep it as an internal because then you won't have everyone doging around midair but people with the internal space can still have the extra mobility.

This is an internal which has no place in the game ban it. Totally artificial, not even hint of been tied to reality or physics
BAN IT

Finally caved and used it on all my mechs for a month.
I can understand why people feel they need it, once it becomes second nature.
But there are some expensive internals (slot-wise) that are so good that it's hard to overlook them for the ac.
I haven't used it in a few months now, don 't miss it too greatly.

Some mechs would just be big ol' floating hitboxes with it...having said that I like it to be either the default, otherwise remove. Hate to see game gravitating toward Strike Vector :o

I couldn't get used to flying tanks with BZFlag, then MW. The concept (yeah, i know, it's all fictional anyway) of a building-sized armored gun bot zipping sideways, much less a giant armor clad rocket launcher, "floating like beautiful butterflies" is just the thing a noob opens his first match to and sez "...the fock___"

Because the normal dodges don't already give Sir Isaac Newton the middle finger.

The Air Compressor is an interesting internal that's a crutch and a gameplay enabler at the same time. For just 3 slots it opens numerous escape and attack routes and makes traversing maps more fluid. It makes combat more challenging as it becomes more unpredictable. It's badly designed in that regard that some people are overly reliant on it and cease to function when you take it away from them as it does make the game easier to play almost universally.

I voted remove !
I rather liked the idea of  a mech  with the ability to dodge in the air ... Or implementing a new item to counter that internal, etc.
By the way, does this post has any effect or is just for the lulz of it _

Hiya guys! I want the AC to be there by default cuz' guys seriously_ You have to play all the way up to level 21 (or unlock with MC) and then pay about 1000 HC and go around crying when you see that it takes about two slots!! Its crazy! I only use it on my old and trusty Fred but that too sometimes. ;) :rolleyes:
But personally, I speak for the underdogs, the rising pilots :ph34r: , the future men who will have their names inscribed on the wall of fame (on Illal) that this internal should be there by default. Give the newbie's a fighting chance to strive for their existence. Let the lives of those pilots who died because they didn't have the internal (either because their pilot level was less than 21 or cuz' they didnt have enough cash) not go in vain. :( :huh: :wacko:
