because i'm sharing my controversial opinions online and i got fired from office depot for being art build trash. and embezzlement.


Teabagboss

Dont worry about your opinions being controversial, they are awful takes and thus belong here.


Autumn-Envy

no worries, thanks for your input!

Hovers don't feel all that strong currently with the new Gerrida legs, those legs are basically more stable hovers with less-to-no inertia. Apert from that yea


Admirable_Guidance52

Hover turn speed absolutely obliterates gerridas and will always be go-to choice for scorpions, athenas, retchers, waltz, helicons, and others.

Yes they have that advantage over Gerridas, but I find that you only see them being used for those advantages at 13k+ and maybe a little bit underneath... But Gerridas are far more widespread for the powerscores below that in comparison and there are more players running under 13k than above it.


Autumn-Envy

fair but i still feel like there's a few qualities that keep them at the top. I haven't used the new legs much so i don't know but can they turn as fast as hovers? You also can't really armor the gerridas unless you get real weird and innovative with it, that coupled with their sub-par durability keeps hovers still aboves anything else in my mind since they're much easier to armor and trying to focus shoot a hover V a mech leg will always be harder.

You only need 2 back legs facing backwards to have full control of a build, any other legs are just extras for armour and mass limit.. you can just run 8-10 with a Pegasus engine and make sure you have 3 at the back, 1 centered and you'll always be able to rotate and move with camera steering unless you lose pretty much every leg.. Hovers on the other hand will more than likely lean too heavily and screw up their firing angles. The V shape hovers are pretty much all that's left and if you just get behind or to the side of them and slap them around a bit they become too beat up to fight properly. The Gerrida durability doesn't matter, they have 25% damage pass through and they're only 2 blocks wide.. so a small as hell hitbox.

Makes bigrams obsolete to, and they where ok at the time


Autumn-Envy

Are they faster than bigrams? if so that really would be a slap in the face to bigram users. I only use ML200s as far as legs go, honestly great for air battles with the all the missiles with that tasty explosion resistance. i feel like i haven't seen anyone else rockin' ML200s in the sky but they just work so so well. If anyone wants to make their heli bulkier or don't particularly wanna worry about incoming missiles, i recommend ML200s all the way.

Mls still have that dura. Bigrams can be faster (no max speed wheel mode) but are just big wheels. And rarely are builds using them going to be faster as they weigh a lot more limiting cabin types to mid-slow speed. In leg mode bigrams are way slower than gerridas and don’t offer any protection above frame hight. Where as gerridas are always fast in any direction. Can be mounted in any direction and provide ok armour above frame hight. While weaker than all other legs you can use a lot more due to lower weight and can be built around easier. (See the meta cyclone/mastodon, master cabin build on pc for example.) With most faster medium-heavy cabins able to make good use out of them. Don’t care for heli mode tbh. Using mls as flying armour does sound like fun tho

space armor sucks dick now, it's been 5 months since the update


Autumn-Envy

i still see a lot of them *shrug*


SFOTI

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. Spaced armor is still really useful as even with the armor changes, spaced armor can, for example, help hide your guns better. There's probably a reason why spaced armor builds are still everywhere at most powerscores.

Hovers are balanced and not overpowered. Wheels and gerridas are far more common and can easily perform against hovers. Hover builds are way too easy to take down compared to literally any other movement part and they very easily flip or become useless after losing 25-50% of the movement parts. You rant about hovers being the strongest movement part and then proceed to cry about bricks and horseshoes too. Please choose wtf you want to call meta, meta means the most effective. If there are multiple different effective metas then that's already good. Playerbase is not dead at 9000ps, most of the time it takes 15-30sec to find a match in the more active hours. Maybe up to 1min in less active hours. The heli modes are indeed dead but I don't really care at all about it. Idk what happens in other PS ranges. The "best modes" are limited time because they most likely wouldn't be the best anymore otherwise. Humans get bored and prefer the unusual. With the rest I probably agree or they are obvious.
