There is an extensive difference. Namely in that the leg units are directly connected to the pilots legs, any arm units are directly connected to the pilots arms, and wing units are connected directly to the back. With a suit designed for interfacing with the entire unit at all connector points...

Or when we are inside a base, cause otherwise why would people ever leave their mech? Can you imagine 40-60 of these things crowding around an event NPC? Except Firefall frames did have shields over the exposed flesh. You saw them resurge every time you left combat on decent graphics settings...

That's cause our threads got buried. Many of us hopped on the test server, voiced our complaints on the forums, and went back to the game we enjoyed to enjoy it before that patch came. Ultimately it did not matter. That test server amounted to nothing. They did not even fixed the reported bugs...

So basically optical camouflage. Which would fit in with stealth designed suits. So long as I have the ability to turn that off when in 3rd person I would be fine with that.

In my mind Shields would kinda be like a health bar that covers the entire form of the enemy, but some weapon types are good at outright bypassing, penetrating, or just overwhelming shields. Armor would be underneath that would need to be broken down to reveal weakpoints. Not that you need to...

I do not know about you but... in Firefall my character wore a full helmet. Well I was looking for more then just shoot the mob in general to deplete its HP bar. I kinda wanted to see multi layer defense be a thing. Where you want to disable or bypass the shields, break or punch through the...

Also, by having the player only protected by an energy shield it means that you cannot apply the same defense rules that get applied to mobs, to the player themselves. If a mob has a natural shield and we got weapons that bypass shields then mobs cannot have the same, otherwise they would...

Its not a matter of location damage factors for gameplay reasons. Its one of those "the design does not look solid enough or safe enough" feelings for me. You can go #energyshields but to me visually the design looks flimsy and not something I would want to take into battle. It relies too much...

In the article the player is protected by an energy shield.

I want a version with an armor layer over the pilot please, can have it retract when its time for the pilot to hop out and run around. Also an armor layer over the spine. That feels a bit too exposed like one good hit in that spot will split the entire thing in half.

Conceptually Tinkering is modifying your gear to get more out of it. That does not mean it is required to come in as a simple +1 enhancement system that randomly crits. It can be implemented as something else not tied to vertical progression at all as a form of post crafting customization.

Why should you need a reset item, when your ability to equip modded abilities/gear can be covered by a unified constraint system? Modules could be set up so that they alter the constraint needs of a piece of gear or ability. Thus you need to balance everything out. The more powerful you make...

The time period when Firefall was popular was when Kern was in charge. People were clamoring to get into the CBT. 1.5 million people who signed up hoping to get into the closed beta. People liked what they saw. Then internal problems started manifesting in game patches and it got worse from...

Does this mean we may one day have Zaku II style heads for armor customization?

Foxgirl navel anyone?

That largely depends on which series. You also need to take into account size. The mobile suits in Gundam are about 50%-2x larger then any of the Aldnoah hero mook units. Most Gundam series Mobile Suits are ~4 stories tall, compared to Aldnoah units capping off around 2-3 stories.

When you look at it, in Aldnoah Zero the heroes used exclusively mook suits, they were also the best looking visual design in the series. They trump the Gundam series mook suits as well. So now try to imagine Aldnoah Zero mook suits backed up by the Hero Gundams from the gundam series. Such as...

Given me a customization system, but not complete design freedom when it comes to vehicles. Of course I will want to be able to remove the gun turret on my tank in favor of covering the damn thing in automated turret hardpoints so that I may create the ultimate in invasion defense armored cavalry.

The problem with the Engineer legs in Firefall was how unbalanced the design was in terms of frame support. All this weight that would fall on an unsupported leg that only had a jumpjet sneaker. By the way, Mark did say that he is planning to put in a system so that you can self censor things...
