At BricksWest, Steve and I had some discussions about the game rules. One thing Steve has been trying to come up with is a way to eliminate plotting moves since this slows down the game the most.

Hey Aaron, Well, I got a game coming up in about 2 weeks. No bizarre techs, but we're shooting for a large game. Something like a 2500 CP limit. One thing we're trying is to break things down to category limits like this: 2500 CP Air vehicles - 1000 (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.gaming)

Cool! You managed to use two rather difficult pieces together to make a really cool looking torso. The canopy with the "18" is perfect. The mech's got birthing hips but it balaces out nicely with the upper body. Making kind of a figure eight shape. (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.build.mecha)

Okay here's number two. It's a medium-sized rocket Mech for an upcoming BrikWars game. It has two banks of 4 MkII missiles and two sets of 2 MkII lasers. With extra armor (if I've done the math right) bears it out at 180CP (sans the pilot). Anyway, (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.build.mecha)
