Basically, a walking tank with 8 legs (OMG! really?) it will have twin lazers at the front that do high damage and sword like spikes on each leg. Not only this, it should be able to climb wall then the user presses jump or something and it falls to the floor (it always lands the right way up ( or not as its weakness?)) Yeah... you get the idea... Raziel P.S Too Weird/Evil? |

8 legs seems too many to be practical. |

A pod with 8 legs and twon lasers. So, add 5 legs to the darkwalker and maybe change the geometry of the hull. I think I'll agree on the problem with 8 legs. It seems that the Necris darkwalker has you just move the main hull around and the legs shoot forward and stick into whatever they hit. If you have 8 long legs doin that, then it might just look plain strange, especially when handling funky cliffs and such. Maybe if it had really short legs... centipede of doom. |

We could make it shorter, but have the legs stick out further, But that might just make it even wierder. |

If this is done I vote against using Necris style 'tentacle' legs,rather I'd say each leg should be segmented,like fingers. |

Yeah, but then that would need modded coding on where and where the legs can't go relative to the body and other legs, a coding nightmare. I think, at least. |

It has already been done in UT2(blackstrider,back when those were segmented)So it shouldn't be too much of a problem. |

When writing about the tank, I was thinking of legs like the Chaos defiler from Warhammer 40k (see below)[br][img width=490 height=362]../../files/public/1215281283_570_FT61630_black_legion_chaos_defiler.gif[/img] B.T.W 8 legs should look like a spider, and about it being weird... I personally think that spiders are weird (layout and the speed they can move... Raziel P.S the quicker they move the creapier |

Aren't most if not all UT2 walkers faked? As in, legs are just moving parts on hover vehicles. Never used the Blackstrider, so it could be different. It doesn't matter, segmented or not, in UT2, they're fake, excluding exceptions I don't know of. In UT3, then I have no idea whether the segmented legs will work or not, or glitch up in some funky way, and tentacled legs aren't what he's envisioned, so who knows. And I'd love a Defiler-esque vehicle here. Especially one that climbs.... Seems skrithy, actually. |

BTW I am on about a UT2004 tank, but if you can get it working in UT3, thats great! Raziel P.S whoops, forgot my name N.B I saw the tank you mean (tentical legs) it looks freaky |
