Armoured Core

if my artillery hit an arm i would probably rip it off.

if my artillery hit the cockpit then the computers would be useless and therefore unusable.

Nice idea, but it seems to me like the AC is too heavily armored for you to be able to force your way into the cockpit the same way I tried to do with the Assyrian corvette in Death War.

yea well just saying if she can get another pilot in so can it

Well mine does have extra armour around the cockpit area.

What's the rear armor like?

Huge-ass backpack thing. Page 1 has pictures.

What about the thrusters. Propellant is explosive, right? And they would be at east a surface element. And if you shot inside one...

I suppose the legs may be a weak point, go for the knee joint. If it topples the fall alone may be enough to cause internal explosions, depending on the rules used. I still think she's just gonna' stamp all over the tanks though.

I've stated many times that those are fusion rockets. Basically the only thing that will come out the back is super-heated gas.

And even then, you'd have to hit a fuel line to ignite the fuel, not just the thruster itself.

Uhh, I said Fusion Rockets. The fuel is water or Helium 3 which is an inert (but rare and expensive) gas.

this is 50 trillion years in the future, it's not that rare

Helium 3 can be made from lithium. If you have a fusion reactor which is putting out lots of neutron radiation, it's incredibly easy. Even today, the radiation from fission reactions can be used to convert lithium to helium.

This is not looking to good for me
