Че, за "Новороссию" воевать поедем? :-/

NEW – TX-1 MEGABOTS!!!

FPS/Performance/LAG

We have massively improved the performance of the game in frame-rate and lag
We have also improved spawn times significantly, allowing huge Megabots to spawn quickly


New TX-1 Tier

TX-1 is the Tier of Megabots
If you are in TX-1 you are defined as a Megabot
You cannot get into TX-1 with 1,511 CPU, you need more to achieve a high enough Robot Ranking
So, you need the Megaseat to get into TX-1


MEGASEAT

Unlocked via the Tech Tree with T10 TP
Costs 1,000,000 RP (i.e. approx 10x T10 SMG)
You can NOT buy the Megaseat with Galaxy Cash, only RP
The Megaseat multiplies your CPU by x5
So, max CPU is 7,555 pFLOPS (i.e. 5 x 1,511)
All TX-1 Cubes, Chassis Cubes and Cosmetic Cubes are compatible with the Megaseat, but normal Tier hardware and Movement cubes are not
NB: To prevent users lagging the servers with 500 T1 SMG’s on a single Robot



MEGABOT GAME MODES

Megabots can enter Battle Mode and Megaboss Mode
Megabots do not have their own Tier, but join T9 and T10 matches (depending on Robot Ranking)
T9 and T10 matches are limited to 1 x Megabot per team (and always 1 on each team)
Megabots are powerful, but not invincible, a group of T10’s can take down a Megabot
But the Megabot can hold the balance of power in a battle
Megaboss Mode is now the only mode where you can play 1 vs. many and be the boss (more on the changes to the current Boss Mode below)
Megaboss Mode has a ‘cool down’ so you can only play once every now and again (we will reduce this time when we know how many Megabots we have in the queue so it’s fair)
TX-1 Robots must be greater than 3000 pFLOPS CPU to enter Battle Mode or Megaboss Mode
T9 and T10 Players fighting in a battle with Megabots will receive additional RP via the ‘Handicap Bonus’


MEGASHIP

Unlocked via the Tech Tree with TX TP
Upgrade your Mothership Garage Bay to the Megabay
49x49x49 units (as opposed to 31x31x31)
Can hold greater than 117,000 cubes in volume
Once unlocked, your Robot bay is permanently larger


TX-1 ARMOR

This is not designed to force you to throw away your T10 Armor Cubes, T10 is really the tankiest armor in the game in Armor per CPU
It’s designed to give you more interesting ways to engineer and more variety in T10
3 pFLOPS per Armor Cubes (as opposed to 1 at T10) but about 40% tougher
Use to strengthen weak points, weapon mounts, etc. or for small, light and tough builds
These are also the lightest cubes in the game


TX-1 MEGAPLATE + MEGASMG + MEGAWHEEL

For those of you who have not been playing over the last few weeks, during the build up to Megabots we have release the Megawheel, MegaSMG and Megaplate
These cubes are designed for Megabots, but can be used in interesting ways in T10 also
YOu can place 8 Megawheels + 8 MegaSMG + 8 Megaplate on a Megabot and still have room for thousands of Armor cubes at full CPU


REWORKED MAPS

All maps reworked to provide viable routes for the largest Megabots
Quality of maps topography and texturing improved


NEW – ROTOR BLADES

Available at Tiers 5-10
New helicopter style Copter Class Robots
Create Apache’s, Chinooks, and weird futuristic copters
Hover at any height with stable flight
Uber control in all directions for stealthy flight control
Combine with Thrusters, Wings, Legs for awesome hybrids
Use Copter Blades vertically (like propellers) for interesting builds
Lower max ceiling than Aerofoils (90%)
Greater carrying mass per CPU
5 connection points with unique base, so tougher to destroy
Copters are surprisingly stable and are much tankier than Aerofoils
Copters add drag though so slow you down
Copters will allow huge flying tanky builds that remain stable when taking punishment
Copters also have turbulence (like Helium) so using Rail with Copters is difficult to get full accuracy


ALIGNMENT RECTIFIER V2

All Robots can now ‘flip’, push ‘F’ to flip
The feature is built into the Pilot Seat, so no need for an Alignment Rectifier anymore
Alignment Rectifier cubes are now obsolete and the cubes will be automatically removed from your Inventory and Robot with the full price RP and TP being added back to your accounts
You can flip anytime, as long as you are near to the ground
The flip always takes 10 seconds to raise you, rotate you, then lower you back to ground – this is intentional, so you are vulnerable when you flip, so building a good Robot and driving it well is always better than relying on the AR
The flip progress is shown in the HUD
The flip special effects are visible, so if you see an enemy flipping, take him out whilst he can’t shoot back


BUILD MIRROR TOOL

Push ‘X’ to toggle on/off
Cubes placed are mirrored across the middle of the arrow on the ground of the Mothership Garage Bay
Build symmetrically very quickly
Semi-intelligent, so places left EP when you place right version, and places non-symmetrical Tank Tracks correctly when mirrored
It does not allow you to move the mirror line, and does not allow you to build mirror with craft that are an even number of cubes in width – we know these features are very important, we just haven’t had the time to put them in yet – we will ensure these features get in with an update fairly soon after this major launch


MANY OTHER CHANGES

BALANCE & GUN CHANGES

Rail Cannon now has a 0.95 sec cool-down between shots when fired
SMG damage increased by 15% at close range
SMG damage falloff with distance increased (so less damage at long range) so it’s now 80% of close range damage as opposed to 95%
The above change effectively keeps the damage the SMG does the same at mid-long range but increases the DPS at close range
TX-1 SMG DMG increased
Nano range reduced by 18%
Descriptions update for the weapons, including more information on the SMG damage at close and long range


CHALLENGE MODE

Challenge Mode is the new name for the old Boss Mode
But the mode is now available to Tiers 6-10
It’s the same as Boss Mode was but ensures that there are always 4 players on the boss team
You can Platoon as 4, or if you have a smaller Platoon others will be added to make the team up to 4
You can enter Challenge Mode on your own, but will be playing with others on your team (always 4)
This mode still has a cool-down timer, but it is separate from the Megaboss cooldown timer


PLATOONS / FRIENDS

New option to ‘Block Friend Invites’ if you just don’t want any friends, or if you are streaming and want to prevent spam
New option to ‘Only accept Platoon Invites from Friends’ again if you want to limit Platoon spam when streaming
‘Decline All’ button added to Platoon Invite dialogue
Platoon bugs fixed so more reliable now
Reporting when Friends are online/offline made reliable
All Platoon team members must now be in the same Tier, you will not be entered for battle until your Tiers match


NEW LOBBY SCREEN

Much more information on this screen now
You can see all players, challengers and megabots waiting for battle at all Tiers
Challengers and Megabots will be shown in the Tier of Robots they will be fighting against
You can also see a queue position so you can get a better idea of when your battle will start as a Challenger or Megaboss
You can see all the servers at all the Tiers (each Tier actually has it’s own lobby and manages it’s own server allocation)
There is also a beautiful advert for things you can buy in game so you can see all our amazing gadgets and hopefully you’ll love them so much you’ll buy some


NEW ENTER BATTLE SCREEN

Revamped look of this screen
Shows you cool-downs, min CPU requirements, ranked phase information


SOME LOWER TIER CUBES RE-INTRODUCED

Electroplates re-introduced at T2
Aerofoils and Rudders re-introduced at T4


NEW COBRA TIER 5 COPTER CLASS ROBOT in ROBOSHOP

T7 and T5 Copter Blades
4 x Plasma Cannons (T5 and 6)
Tier 4 and 5 Armor


NEW HOLOFLAG REPLACES OLD NATION BADGE

We thought the old nation badges sucked and could hardly be noticed on the side of other peoples Robots
So we changed it to a holographically projected flag call the ‘Holoflag’
If you own a nation badge, your badge will be automatically updated
You may need to shift its position on your Robot to get the best flag effect
The Holoflag is like a short length vapour trail that shows the flag and it’s colors
If you had the ‘Breached’ badge, it has been upgraded to a Holoflag with the Robocraft logo on it


OTHER CHANGES

Force fields at the edges of maps improved visually, so you can see them before you smash into them and so they look nicer too
New ‘spotting’ voice over added for Copter Class and Megabots
New ‘star shaped’ icon added to Enemy HUD and Battle Countdown for Megabots
Min CPU requirement of TX-1 Megabots shown on CPU bar as a red segment
Incompatible Cubes (with TX-1 Megaseat) are highlighted in red
If you remove Megaseat from Megabot, cubes not within CPU limit highlighted red
Minimaps updated to show new routes and map topography
The “Breached” easter egg has been removed and is no longer active
Handling of Ski’s improved
Handling of Megawheels improved, mass increased, more grip and torque
Main Robot camera improved to help you see large Robots like Megabots
Spawning times reduced and Battle Countdown increased to 30 seconds to ensure all Robots are ready at the beginning of battle so you can all roll-out together
Mega-SMG kill-counter has been removed. We will total up the stats over the next week and award the cool custom cosmetic Mega-SMG to all user who achieved 100+ kills as soon as we’ve finished the graphics for that
All Cosmetic cubes now have only 1 CPU and 88 Armor (same as a Tier 1 armor cube)
LATE ADDITIONS TO THE RELEASE NOTES

Users will always play 2 normal battles before facing either a Challenge or Megaboss battle (i.e. a ratio of 2:1 of normal to ‘special’ battles), which reduces the number of bb’s players are involved in
Fixed some bugs preventing the Steam Wallet appearing for some users
Some new updates in EAC to protect the client against the most recent new hacks
Camera in the Garage can be zoomed out further so you can view more of your Megabot
Some new practice Robots added to Practice Mode, Trax, Scorpion and Thunder Sled all now feature (but with T1 Armor)
New ‘Dawn of the Megabots’ login screen

Вот это как раз тришкин кафтан, это полный бред, чтобы ротор отстреливался парой выстрелов, даже просто стоящий, впрочем и даже бронированный вокруг блока крепления блоками брони. Напоминаю, изначальная задумка игры - в первую очередь КОНСТРУКТОР, а затем уже баттлы как приятно-разнообразящее дополнение. Т.е. по задумке, упор должен делаться на элегантность форм конструкций, а не на их неубиваемость в бою. Почему теперь идет такой перекос, мне непонятно.
И еще. Пример: DCS: Черная акула(Digital Combat Simulator: Black Shark). Может и не совершенно точный симулятор вертолета, но судя по описаниям, весьма близкий. Еще только надыбал, проверю сам, как там с отшибанием ротора. Но что-то мне подсказывает, что такого там и близко нет, даже ракетой не сшибает(по идее именно то, что он КРУТИТСЯ, должно его защищать, не?), Если кто уже игрался в ДСЦ, отпишитесь, как там с этим делом? /* Про Команч-4 не говорю, там походу с реализмом разрушений перекос как раз в обратную сторону, во всяком на легком уровне. Ни пулеметы, ни даже ракеты, ротор точно сшибить не могут, разве что уделать всю вертушку полностью, но тоже не с пары попаданий. */

Если кому-то нра играть на оягребу-чем, то ведь не факт, что это правильно. Может хайтирам формы и пофиг, но на 5-6х тирах не смотря на такой косяк с роторами, все равно постоянно вижу в боях по нескольку весьма элегантных вертушек. И как по мне, так если уж летать на вертушках, то на таких, пусть даже их сшибают весьма быстро(душить разрабов, чтобы апнули живучесть винтов, это надо сделать. Заметил, что ни ховеры, ни трастеры, стоящие снаружи, так запросто не сшибаются, т.е. показатель армора у них намного выше, нежели у ротора. Какого ***, где логика, хотелось-бы знать?).
И соосность, хочу СООСНОСТЬ, а также ротор с креплением по типу ховера, но который можно устанавливать вертикально, например в фюззеляж вертушки!!! Хочу летать на К-54 аллегаторе и К-60 Касатке!!!!!

Да кстати, если уж нужно чтото-то типа оягребу, почему-бы тогда не Чинук(Boeing CH-47 Chinook) ?
