[Splat ♥]

2 auger and a machine gun

i bought a growl, idk if it helps at all

my car look like this right now https://i.imgur.com/n06IO4R.png

Could you save your car on the Exhibition and post its name here?

Hmm... The frames you are using are the heavy ones, the light ones (red) would help, also I suggest to make your car a bit shorter, since your augers and the mg are on the front, just make enough space behind the cabin to fit the drone, And I will suggest that you change those 2 van doors for something less heavy, and I don't see in that image if you have one but if not buy a Light Engine, it helps a lot with light builds and doesn't cost any energy ^^

allso back up the coment from "8Cocain",m use the "lighter frames". Then take off the 'radiator' and 'car jack' (really don't need those IF you drive good) IF you want to go "fast" get an 'enginde' insted. Maybe a light engine. Also maybe try different tires.

which tires

and how do you get lighter frames? im working on nomads to unlock new faction, at my rate should happen some time next year or 3

lunatic faction unlock light frames and mesh armor=great against cannon shots; racing wheels stx2, any other medium wheels, i atm use chain wheel stx2 and double wheelx2; you also want to get a generator so you can have more potent weapons.

I'm not sure about the light frames, I think it's leveling up either engineers or lunatics, and well.. medium tires are quite heavy and your build doesn't have that much PS.. maybe stick to small wheels for the moment until you can get the racing ones from nomads

2 rear doors

i died. lol.

1) light frames from lunatics. go to lunatics faction, look bottom. see "parts". press button far right of "parts". now u see what parts u get as u level up lunatics.

2) cut the weight. light frames are pretty sucky for structure-for-PS when compared to regular frames but weigh half as less. lunatic armor (buggy parts) are sucky structure-for-PS but light. you might use nomad armor (avia and plane parts) as a compromise. but rear door? that's an engineer part, and all engineer parts have relatively high PS for structure while running about the same weight for structure as Nomad (i.e. generally Engineer parts worse than Nomad parts in every way).

3) i don't recommend a hazardous generator. it ups your PS by a lot. 2 energy and light, great, but PS, not so much.

4) instead of augers, think about buzzsaws. (whatever, use augers if u want). but though buzzsaws have less structure they are also half the weight

5) what is this "single drone" business?

6) if you use armor, armor the lower half of gun(s).

7) dump car jack, git gud at building and driving. what happens when you have a long cigar shape? stick some heavy rear doors on it that considering placement raise center of mass? u gonna rick roll boy.

if u want ez car, try something like a frame structure shaped sorta like a triangle. front of car is the point, rear is the base of the triangle. compared to rectangle, it is much more stable, and the frames help keep the center of gravity low so when you go tumbling better chance you land okay. remember when taking jumps you need speed, or front of your car tips down and you go head over heels. and even if u have speed on jump, if u land on friendly or enemy or tree or car or something maybe u get stuck. so know maps.

when building, remember to try to keep center of gravity down too.

that build like ok i can see why the car jack, but instead of using precious energy on car jack, make so car flips less, u see?

other stuff - I can't really see too well what's on the vehicle but if u got 1 radiator, it has a multiplicative effect with guns which is good for PvE. but PvP your guns get stripped. especially if they don't have armor.

can't really build u something as i don't know what armor parts u have &c.

[aardvarkpepper]

went in, tried to load it, then looked and I wuz like "hm rly"

1) do radiators affect drones?
2) it's SLOW man. SLOW. take off all those filthy engineer armor parts and put on some nomad armor

as I understand it, fast flying drones are built with the idea that you use cover or buddies or whatever, run around fast, your drones shoot perfectly, you're hard to hit.

but if you're slow? SPLAT

As to the augers and armor - well it's nice to build something that can actually try to contest objectives. but flying drones pair with speed. like peanut butter and jelly like laurel and hardy

also i really dunno about avia booster. like, make up your mind what this thing is supposed to be.

is it a melee booster ram? you have melee weapons at front, like 4 boosters, medium weight
is it a fast drone deployer? then cut the weight and use more drones.
is it a hybrid? cut the weight, cut the weight, cut the weight. also why radiators

other comments after a bit more driving, flipping thing etc -

1) no fuel barrel +? no light engine?

2) dump the heavy generator. it's 576 kg for heaven's sake. and 345 PS. generally I would not screw with generators because they add a chunk of PS, and that's even before you equip whatever you brought the extra energy for

3) btw "engineer" armor parts - literally all the armor on the build is engineer armor.

I built "Splat 2" on exhibition give u an idea of what i would do.

if u want melee on front and ram - I would probably go jawbreaker / sidekick drones for that.

again, speed

flying drones, if u don't move fast, they don't move fast, they get shot down ez, then what? garbage.

sidekick drone, it's a different concept. now wat they gonna shoot? that annoying thing that's running around, or u who's trying to rip them a new one with augers

but with flying drones imo u NEED SPEED

do u FEEL IT

wow i just built growl flying drone shotgun

that thing is cancer

edit - if u wanna use armor on a fast-ish drone build probably u will need wyvern unless u have a co-driver that has been leveled that increases tonnage. and leveling co-drivers like that costs a lot (of materials!)
