Armoured Core

[RagnarokRose]

why doesn't anyone see the genius of commandeering Natalya's star cruiser and ramming her AC with it, you'd need like 5 or 6 shuttles to land any troops on it but the crew won't put up a fight like her assyrian infantry will (they won't be carrying heavy weapons or maybe any at all)

I was going to try this in Death War, but Natalya quit the game on the same turn that I was going to drop my troops onto the starship.

I doubt it would take 5 or 6 shuttles to break through the starship's defenses -- I managed it with a single transport and a few allied fighters. Give a single ship long-range weapons, take out the forward turret, and fly above the cruiser so that her big forward cannon can't hit you. Once you land on the hull, blast a window open and attack the bridge. One hero and a few secondary troops will do the trick.

A "few" allied fighters? huh. (I was the one that controlled them, after all.)

And yeah, it wasn't that hard to break through. I just destroyed the guns on my way up the side of it. After losing 3 fighters...

[Natalya]

You can't kill it with minifigs. We should srsly do objective-based battle so that it's fair. Or you can build a super gun turret or something, but that'd be kinda easy for me to destroy. But keep in mind that my stuff isn't really anti-infantry. The AC has a big light missile launcher which could be used against infantry, but my other stuff is not tuned for that. The tanks for example don't have any rapid-fire weaponry, and the cruiser is kinda too big to be used in that capacity.

@Jifel:
The crew is armed with pistols and there are force-field doors inside that separate the ship into 3 sections, the reactor room being one of them. You'd have to disable the doors first which would give me time to counter-attack or get my hero to fight you.

Not going to lie, you did do most of the damage in the battle against the cruiser. In theory, though, the only gun turrets you would need to kill to create a blind spot are the front dorsal gun and one of the front side turrets.

[james+burgundy]

i guess u guys forgot but i do know how to build ships the size of hers and as for objective based how about a joint one where you kill everyone of do a objective

[spacessj]

oh i know what can bring it down! Nano bots that infect there target and produce more of them selves from parts of the machine,
i don't think your AC can target them since there smaller than size1!!!

Don't go stealing other people's idea's http://www.brikwars.com/forums/viewtopi ... 6102#46102

Looks very nice, but I still like gundam more. Twin Buster Rifle FTW!

Or maybe a fancy quantum mechanics based weapon that messes up the reactor. Or you could build a massive portal gun and be rid of the AC without damaging it.

A powerful (I mean POWERFUL) magnet could disrupt the reactor, as well as render useless any plasma weapons on the field. The problem is that if you look at her AC stats, it has "magnetic shielding" to protect itself from EMP -- this would work just as well against a giant magnet.

I still say launch giant rockets at it, or go for the joints with Mk.II - III guns. the problem with building one really, really powerful weapon to kill the AC is that the starship's main gun will destroy it first.

[Gunney]

I still say BLOW ITS MUTHER EFFING FOOT OFF and watch it fall on her troops! Then rush it with Dimmies and let their knack for dieing cover it in so much lego plastic blood It can't get up! MWAHAHAHHAAH.

[Natalya]

A couple things...

First off, the foot is probably the strongest part of the AC aside from the core. Like in terms of actual construction technique it is very rigid.

Secondly, the ankle joint is also very rigid and is the most rigid joint on the whole model, the knees coming in close second. So, severing the foot is not easy or simple.

But then, let's say you succeeded in breaking off the foot, well, all it really has to do now is stand on the end of its leg or severed ankle joint, but it's still fine because it's got the fusion rockets on its back keeping it steady.

[james+burgundy]

i don't think i'll let u go around calling fusion rockets for ever mishap if i cut its leg off its falling rockets or not

[Gunney]

*slams down palms* OBJECTION!

Not only that, but we're talking real terms here. If we're going to go with "rigid", my tank is literally a rock, with wheels. Nothing about it, not even the front, gives way. Thats how I BUILD.

This is war. The fact is its a joint, and I have a big *ss cannon. Fair game
That and even if you did answer with thrusters, that would add drain onto its limited power supply.

Possible retort I am predicting: It has enough power to continously provide thrusters

Response: Well if we go around making excuses for EVERY possible outcome, there aint a point in playing now is there?

*Edit* I neglected to respond to the "standing on the end of the leg"
Cut off your foot, let it heal, and try to walk on it. Thats basically what your saying. Structurally, bad idea. Physically, your gonna be lopsided, off balance, and a prime target to knock over.

[Dr. X]

I still have one question... who is that person in Natalya's Avatar?

[lrdofbricks]

dude dr.X, its not a who, its a what. unless I've gone blind, its a doll. and if so, i really hope natyla is a hardcore goth girl. not that im in any way racist or sexist.

She's explained it on several occasions.

It's an Asian, cross-dressing man who is in a band with other cross-dressers.

Ah. Touche. Well, all I can say is to seriously poor laser fire into the shield and knock it down, or just crash the shuttle directly into the shielded area and bypass it. But it is sadly not my battle, so I can't comment to much.

i have her her say who it was before but did not know that was a dude well i guess it fits her the old avator looked a cooler
