Mechs

[Verbatos]

If mechs do become more integrated into the starbase community then ships would be designed for carrying mechs or they could be used to steal cargo with more efficiency

How so? You could just steal the whole ship by slicing it up and grabbing it with some tractor beams and cargo lock beams.
And if you can't do that, you can always just use a resource bridge to transfer over any small cargo once you have access to the controls. Using a cargo lock frame for anything too big, cargo lock beams would still work too.

Mechs are really cool for science fiction, but they are just impractical if you actually try to find a way to use them.

So their whole job is stealing cargo? better idea: Use a big arrange of cannons to blow a big hole in the side of a transporter and move out the cargo with small heavy duty ships. More efficient than any mech could ever be. From a balancing standpoint it makes no sense to implement mechs, cuz they will either be able to do everything worse, than ships filling their role or they would become the new meta of everything and nobody would ever use the ship building tool for anything but designing mech carriers.

are there going to be dlc?

are there going to be dlc?

no.

As far as I know, everything will be pushed in expansions or free content packs, there won't be any purchases outside of the initial one.

oh that's good so they are doing something similar to totally accurate battle simulator.

It would be nice if the moons where hollow and made it were the players had to use mech and land tanks to operate in the open caverns in the moon. This would give players a reason to use lights to find rare ores or each. Players can make bases inside the moon with entrances scattered all over.

mechs would just be a cool thing that could be in the game if they add the workshop feature to the game and someone makes it a thing it could be epic
if done right

 

[Tennyboy]

or maybe it could be a dlc
because let's face it voxel giant mech battles would be the coolest thing ever (within reason) and that is the only reason they should be added giant mech battle arena

imagine if there was a giant battle between two warring factions in a planetary city and you are running through the war-torn city with colossal mechs battling at the center with tanks and infantry being crushed when one is killed the dead mech falls into a building making it fall over all of the occupants have to escape before it toppels over. it would be like pacific rim but if the country were at war giant mechs battling it out. personally, I think that is reason enough to add mech specific parts

 

[Tennyboy]

imagine scavenging the mech going inside to find the best parts to sell for top credits.

this could be a good thing but it will most likely be implemented by a YouTuber that wants some epic cinematic battle clips
