I think we should put the managment levels of weapons we don't have to zero.

[Fengar]

The reason I put the missile management to 25 is because the 25 points wouldn't be used anyway, we can't put 75 or 125 in any.

[Disva]

>Wait, do we have missiles to be managed? Um...or did we even already equip weapon systems...

You have not purchased or installed any weapon systems yet.

>Go with my division, we can always change it later, and move on to the next part.

[September]

Go purchase a laser weapon system, they seem the most useful for worms.

For which slots?
And which laser?

Woohoo! Second adventure ever! Wish I had a better title, though...

I don't know about you but this is a good title, and I judge books/movies/games on the name.

View all lasers available and currently open slots.

[Fengar]

He's listed this stuff before.
We technically have all spots open as weapons haven't been finalized, we have 6 small spots and 1 medium spot.

As for the weapons:

small slots
Cutter Lasers:
Bright Edge: "This weapon uses a small amount of power for a relatively huge amount of attack power. On a fixed joint, all power goes to a high-energy, precision beam. It is lightweight and affordable, not to mention easy to use."

Blazing Divider: "This weapon uses a larger amount of power, but it is capable of scarring the very battle field in a nanosecond. It uses a fixed joint to ensure total precision, as well as ensure that all power is used properly. The high-intensity laser can separate the chassis from a bot as readily as water and oil. It is a heavier part, and it's technology is a bit more expensive, but it is a healthy investment."


Heat lasers:
Hades: "Unleash a blazing torrent of pure heat directly at your opponent, with a fully-rotational thermal emitter. Connected to a proper Intelligence Core, it is capable of maintaining a broiling stream onto the enemy, destroying functions with blazing speed, all while draining a minuscule amount on your energy reserves. Lightweight, it's streamlined technology also make it a light burden on the account."

Sol: "The bad news is that it's powerful beam is somewhat harder to handle. The good news is that if you miss, you can melt the ground underneath them. Utilizing a state-of-the-art plasma chamber, the energy siphoned from your reserves is put to good use, creating a trail of molten death. A bit of a heavier part, as well as a heavier buy, this part can be a prized piece of a deadly arsenal."



medium slots
Heat Lasers:
Inferno: "This laser uses an energy-saving device to regulate the laser, while still outputting a respectable force"
Blaze: "Using a pulsing rhythm of energy, this weapon has been known to melt the weapons of the enemy into useless piles of slag"
Incandescence: "When this glorious laser fires, a blue spear of heavenly fire descends and removes the offending foe from the terrain"



Pulse Lasers:
Salvo: "With a quick-charging chamber, one can effortlessly blast out burst after burst, with minimal charge on the reserves"
Volley: "Using a dual-barrel design, this device can fire out a steady stream of damaging bursts"
Eruption: "Essentially a laser Gatling gun, this device will leave them in several different gaseous forms"

[September]

I think we should go for blaze or inferno for the medium, and heats lasers for at least one of the small slots. This will allow easy to kill off functions more easily.

[Disva]

The prices are as follows:
Inferno: 1025 units
Blaze: 1745 units

Hades: 225 units
Sol: 315 units

Thanks!!

[Fengar]

Wow that stuff is expensive, do most weapons cost that much or are lasers just costly?

[September]

How much for small spot heat lasers?

Sorry, forgot to adjust prices for systems.

Here's my newly revised weapons:
Surge Pocket Lasers on the sides of the first section.

Surge: "This weapon charges, then fires a powerful packet of energy directly at the target, resulting in a high-damage, laser-fast blast. It uses an incredibly efficient charging technique to better lessen it's charge on the reserves, and it a lightweight part overall."

Sol Heat Laser on top of the first section.

And the last slot, either of the grenades or the mine. What does everyone want to do for this slot?

For our medium slot: Melody Harmonic Resonator.

Melody: "With an oscillating vibration, this weapon can destroy a range of related parts with ease, avoiding the user's own resonance frequencies by way of an advanced Weapon Core

Yesssssssss...
Well-thought out and informative posts...I live for these ;_;
Thank youuuuuu

[Fengar]

With my build we'll have1680 left.

[September]

I agree with your build, and I vote for mines over grenades. I think mines are more likely to lead to shenanigans.

[Haze]

And don't you know? Shenanigans are what we live for, here at MSPAForums!

But, yeah. > Before finalizing, check the prices on Movement Systems to make sure we can afford at least the most useful ones.

Remember, all, that whereas installing a new laser, or upgrading one, would be nearly as easy after completion of the Worm, installing completely new ways of moving on the battlefield is likely to be vastly more expensive, so we need to be careful.

[Fengar]

I just now realized the price is missing the grenades/mines, we'll have to see those as well.

The prices are as follows:
Rotational Capacity: 2000 units
Increased Hydraulics Torque: 500 units
Enhanced Drill: 1000 units
Jet-assisted Mobility: 3000 units

If you went with a mine-oriented build, you would have 1125 available units for movement upgrades.

[Fengar]

>Does anything else require extra credits to buy or is the rest included in the base model?

[September]

The only thing there that I think we need is the hydraulics.

[Disva]

>Does anything else require extra credits to buy or is the rest included in the base model?

The available sections are:
Mobility
Weaponry
Defense
Intelligence cores
Programming
Accessories

Programming and intelligence cores are free, but weapons, mobility upgrades, defense products, and accessories are not.

Remember though, after this is just practice, no need to be so nervous!
