True DNA but being original is much more pleasing.

Well, yes, but I wouldn't put it on the legs. I was thinking more on the wrist, and have them as melee weapons

Bah! Too much discussion on melee weapons! Chances are they won't be used very often. I'd much rather load up the chain gun and go melee mecha hunting!! ;D

Hehe, exactly. Everyone has their own playing style, and hopefully there will be a mecha aimed towards everyone's style.

Variety is good. But no one mech should dominate everything. high speed mechs with melee attacks

If you REALLY want to give your coder a challenge, make it like Heavy Gear where you get a basic Mecha and then purchase modules to customise it. It would not be out of the ordinary to have a light mecha with a single weapon system on it. Maybe you could opt for the jump jet module instead of the full flight module. If the penalty was set high enough for full flight, that would ecourage people to stay on the ground which would make map designing more interesting (if flight is always there, no one will stay on the ground, so why design maps that take place on the ground. All maps would have to be designed like Descent which, while a neat game is kinda one dimensional. But you guys prolly already thought of that and included some kind of flight penalty...)

Well, if you think of a big city, you will be more easy to spot flying above the rooftops, and get killed quicker. Mastering the skill of flying close to the ground, under bridges, and so on.

ehehe that should be a laugh watching giant mechas colliding with buildings as they try to learn how to fly.
