    Re: Ultimate Heavy-Assualt Mech---Thor Revealed

    I wish the page had a little more about the unit than its backstory.  Also it only shows the bombardment.  I don't think I have seen it fire its arm cannons at all yet.  I would like to see these "Thor's Hammer cannons" in action

    Merged posts.

    Yeah.  You got those pictures still?  I can post them here if you still have them.

    Does his forum allow HTML or just BBcode

    Re: Ultimate Heavy-Assualt Mech---Thor Revealed

    Is it me or are the "sides" of the Thor not physically connected to "center" part of the Thor? May make sense, the strain would be immense on these joints, look how its "bouncing" while turning.

    the screenshots look absolutely amazing. Man this thing packs a punch. Are there any ideas on how much it costs?

    Edited out quotes. Please read the forum rules and refrain from quoting unnecessarily.

    Currently 300 Min 300 Gas and 6 Supply, barely cheaper than a Battlecruiser at 400 Min 300 Gas and 6 Supply.

    well, it's pretty much the same thing, only it can't fly. It's slow and it does tons of damage. They say in the story that they used "battle cruiser weight neosteel".

    Re: Ultimate Heavy-Assualt Mech---Thor Revealed

    Overall the Thor is a bit better expect it can´t fly. As long as the Thors don´t block each others way they are simply preferable imho.

    Re: Ultimate Heavy-Assualt Mech---Thor Revealed

    I think the total damage it can do is a little better (even if it doesn't have yamato, it can still keep in the siege mode and run[stand?] a muck). The benefit of the bc is that they can fly over any obstacle whereas the thor has no such powers of mobility. If the dropship can't handle thor's intense weight, I think it would be funny/awesome, if the bc lowered grappling hooks can took the thors into the air with it (only to deposit it somewhere else. It would be bad ass.

    Re: Ultimate Heavy-Assualt Mech---Thor Revealed

    Damn the thor is expensive. I could afford another base with that kinda cash floating at least the BC makes sense being a capital ship

    Re: Ultimate Heavy-Assualt Mech---Thor Revealed

    I thought it to be quite affordable compared to the BC. Really the only advantage of the Battlecruiser is that it is flying, though that is of course significant, especially if Terrain becomes more important.
    Overall the Thor is more like the Battlecruiser than the Siege Tank.

    Re: Ultimate Heavy-Assualt Mech---Thor Revealed

    I think the screen capture should be removed. We can already visit the site and read the information, the screen capture is just taking up space. But good job on the find!
