New bot shape
Numsgil:
Shots will play a slightly diminished role, I think. I'll probably just limit shots so that they just come from the eye. I might play around with having longer bots be stronger (if you pretend the shot is a bullet from a mass driver, the longer length would give the bot more room to accelerate the particle and deliver more force). But that's all in the distant future.
rsucoop:
What about adding inertia to the shot as it comes from the bot? So if the bot is moving 20, and it shoots, the shot will now travel 60. I think this would raelly imrpove realism and reduce the role of a shot. If we do this, I think the distance the shot can travel could be limited so that their is no real way to keep the shot alive, since it has more to do with friction and forces played on the shot.
Numsgil:
That's how the present system works, actually. So yeah, that's what I plan on doing

Num, what do you mean by "slightly diminished" ?
Numsgil:
-6 shots (ie: body shots) are replaced with swallowing another bot, for instance. Instead of firing in any direction, I'll probably limit shots to only firing in the direction of the bots' eyes. That sort of thing.
