VGA? Luxury! The 4 colours offered by our CGA DOS setup was plenty for Zac McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders. 1-bit people, pixels were either green (yes, green) or black. Then came the Mac, which was B&W, pixels were either black or white. And I had PixelPaint; it could draw/paint at the pixel level for a whopping 300 dpi zoomed in. I think the screen was 72 dpi. Simpler times. But back to the topic at hand, I was looking for a gif to illustrate that, when you are circling the drain, rotational velocity increases as you get closer to the center. But this one seems to work as well. My family’s first home computer was an Apple IIe. This was 1986 and I was in second grade. Played a ton of “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego” on those green pixels lol.

OK I watched the video and I have some details about hull/engine/core Sorry about the pause, I should have used the computer. Everyone catch that on Hull? Yes that is DR. At base the 20 Defense Points = 17% and it looks like it would climb to 50 Def Pts = 33% DR. Plus heavy shield, plus big health pool. And this is for the freebie?? Fat lady is warming up.

I’m sure that’s not really supposed to be +5000 for each of the 50 levels, but this is Pix after all. Lmao

Unless there is something introduced that requires Platinum (like Alpha & Beta weapons), level away. If I’m still here, it’s all going into ability damage. I figure that by the time I have to deploy the Titan, the match is decided so might as well grab a bit more silver on the way out.

Titans and yet another new currency....translation: monetization accelerator, make the monetary targets for mail.ru at all cost. My last and final payment to Pixonic was the first operation (gathering storm?). Will still be a go to on the throne, but I’ll forever be a smiling organ grinding monkey if Stan receives just one more ruble from me. I would post your favorite Rambo meme but I am feeling nice.

If I were Pix, I won't take all all the trouble of releasing Titans w/ 150 upgrade levels just to make players pay more. I would just change the way current bots upgrade eg,: Ao Jun: 24 lvls dragon breath, 24 lvls corrosion, 24 lvls ground speed, 24 lvls fly speed, 24 lvls hp, 24 lvls cool down time and 24 lvls flight time. In total it is already 144 lvls of upgrade. Less resource almost similar result.

Uh it says +2 on upgrade, and 1/50... so I’m thinking like +100 defense points? Unless scaling is non linear. I agree it looks closer to 50 points on the overall bar tho.

I will not surprise if upgrade in Titan's weapons will also consist of several sections instead of one: Damage, Magazine Capacity, Unload time, Reload time, Reach, etc.

Mine will stay stock. I will not run it. Once I bot out with my regular hanger it will not be deployed. You might not have a choice, risking the dreaded LPQ if you don’t drop it. But I’m not in any rush to upgrade em, that’s for sure. W the skilless suckfest of leeches and PS, Pix has me on the ragged edge. Titans might finally be what saves me from wasting any more time. I need a good old fashion PvE dungeon crawler. Anyone old enough to remember Wizardry? What am I saying, of course your are. Was that originally on Apple II or Mac Plus first? These kids today have no true appreciation for the amazing graphics in these modern games. You haven’t lived until you’ve played 1-bit graphics on a 9” screen, lol. Oh, and had to swap floppies to load new levels. Apple ][ was the platform. Wizardry was the first title I dedicated multiple floppies to! Absolutely loved playing that turn based game. Get the chevron!

Probably won't be a good idea to throw too much platinum on our first default Titan. I'm going to wait and build up platinum before upgrading anything. I bet each successive Titan that gets released will be more powerful than the previous ones.

I still use some of my character names from back then.n There are emulators available if you want to relive the glory days.
