 | | BrikWars RV question (not from Gino this time...)
|
|
Okay, I'm costing a mech that's woefully underpowered for all the gizmos that I want to give him, so I have to buy a High Torque option (or two) for the poor guy. I'm assuming that standard vehicle upgrades work on mecha as well, right? If so, then (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.gaming)
