tier 10 plasma bomber (the scarab)

This is a step by step building guide to my tier 10 plasma bomber.

introduction

Hi,
Today I'll be showing you how I created my tier 10 plasma bomber. It uses a lot of shields so you'll need quite a lot of cpu. If you rushed through the tiers you probably won't be able to build it exactly like I did. I'm currently at level 66 and i almost used all of my flops. I didn't use the triforce technique but it still has a pretty high survival rate if you play it right.
It does get oneshotted like a lot of planes but not often it really has to be a lucky T10 rail shot. else it can take a lot of smg or plasma damage because of the shields but watch out for your top wich is a lot weaker, a T10 plasma volley there and you WILL be dead so play smart try to gain an altitude advantage on your enemy and blast them with your quicker reload of 5 plasmas which can get you that extra killing shot before your enemy can.

requirements

So on to the requirements.
at least 1120 pFLOPs

you can use any tier you want except for the shields of course

5 prisms
99 cubes
4 T9 rudders
1 T5 rudder
5 T10 thruster
5 T10 plasma cannons
2 T5 electroplate (R) (optional for the corners)
2 T5 electroplate (L) (optional for the corners)
2 T8 electroplate (R)
4 T8 electroplate (L)
2 T9 electroplate (R)
2 T9 electroplate (L)

I didn't use any radar jammers or flippers or whatever but feel free to add them if you have the cpu and really want them.

If you want to build it from scratch (with tier 10 prisms and cubes) it'll cost you 2,909,554 rp
(I acyually used my calculator for this xD)

building

So now we're going to build this beast xD

first start off with a 10x2 rectangle of blocks in the length of your bay with 2 arms of 5 blocks wide sticking out the 6th block counted from the front: (30 cubes)










Then underneath you build this:(38 cubes)










Afterwards the turrets for the guns:(10 cubes)










then you're going to build this: the picture is taking towards the front of the bay if you got this wrong just put them the other way around when we place the shields:(2 prisms)










then replace these cubes by prisms so you at least get some protection around your little seat xD:(3 prisms)










then place 2 additional cubes here. (2 cubes)










then place 2 T8 (R) shields like this: (2 T8 shields (R))





















place a T8 (L) shield like this on the front and back:( 2T8 shields (L))










put 2 more T8 (L) shields on the nose and tail like this: (2T8 shields (L))
You can see they fit snugly with the other T8's










add tier 9 rudders like this: (4 T9 rudders)










add 2 tier 9 (R) shields on the right side of the aircraft like thiswith the first shields point pointing to the front: 2 T9 (R) shields




















do the same thing on the left side: (2 T9 (L) shields




















add a tier 5 (L) shield like this(front left side):










add one on every corner so they look like this:










add the pilot seat










add the thrusters


















































add the tier 5 rudder:










add a gun on the center mounton the right prism:










add the other guns on the other mounts:

result

so it should look something like this.






























You could put the T5 shields the other way but i like them better this way in a kinda scarab pattern or you could remove them but i think the corners are a little exposed if you remove them.
Any tips or adjustments you did to make it better put it in the commentary i like learning from other people with other visions on the matter.
Or if you think its a flying turd that handles like a jumbojet in a storm please let me know (but maybe in a slightly nicer way ;p)

If you'd like a plane thats tier 9 but still uses a heck of a lot of shields check out my other guide: the destructive diamond

Anyone else think that blocks are way to expensive?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say General Mega was on the recieving end of one of these bombers, and it didn't end so well for him. I like following guides such as this one because it helps me to figure out construction methods that work, which I can then go back and use on my own designs and ideas.

Got the bomber together and I've had mixed results with it, it seems like on the Martian fields it can do great but as soon as you get to an Ice map the railguns and T10 SMGs are too much for it. That aside I love the way the electroplates are set and had no idea you could mount a gun on a wedge shape (referring to the center-mount). Thanks for the excellent guide and robot.

it doesn't only show how to build a bot it is meant to give people ideas they can use to make their own designs like shield placement and balancing aircraft i have gotten alot of ideas out of other guides that i tried out and some of them worked some didn't but from all of them i learned...

[fyrvex]

What I'm saying is that this guide does not help players in any way, and only displays how to build a robot to get a bit of extra RP.

I thought this game was about creativity.

[dec0yable]

wow really? haven't seen that yet xD and what do you mean?

[fyrvex]

This guide is more popular than a guide that helps players.

Wow.

But I like how there is no "Where do I start?" guide.

[Electric Sponge]

yeah what really matters is the power.

[dec0yable]

yeah i get that but i don't really care that much about the looks i care much more about performance and because of that now it looks like a flying brick xD
