Eva's don't have shields? Are you crazy? They are a perfect example of Mecha that generate energy sheilds! Don't you remember the AT field? The Absolute Terror Field? That's why they ae soooooo bad ass!

That's why they ae soooooo bad ass! But that's not a shield like medieval knights! It's a fricking sphere that surrounds them, not a handheld weapon!

Eh, I don't think it's a sphere... I think it's just a flat screen. I'll have to check to be sure... Anyway, the point is that that is a viable alternative to the big metal shields that the other mecha would be lugging around - it'd be kinda like a pinpoint barrier system. The mecha would have to drop/put away their weapon in one hand to go into the "shield making hand pose" and then it would behave just like any of the other shields that the others have.

Hmmm... Speaking of the pinpoint barrier... I wonder if we should include those big punches?

Big punches and shield and melee weapon = too much for smooth gaming. Perhaps a big punch would BE a melee weapon?

Of course. It would be a tradeoff, constant shield, although small, and you can cause dammage with it, only your arms dont reach as far as an axe.

The EVA shield sounds more of a special ability than an actual weapon.

So are you guys going with different types of mecha with special abilities? Or are all mecha going to be created equal? From a gameplay standpoint, I'd rather see power-ups than have a mecha with one special power. You could have both time based and persistant power-ups ala Team Arena. Anyway, that's my two cents...

Each mecha should be unique besides the actaul model. Perhaps its own melee weapon and depending on the mech depends on what weaponry it may use. ie. a light weight fast mech carrying a HUGE ass cannon thingy would be not possible.
Well thast my 2.2 cents.. damn gst!!

We need a light mecha with a sword thrice his size
