Here is the next batch of unit models. The Core level 1 tanks are now filled out with the Spoiler mine laying vehicle, the Construction Vehicle and the scout Weasel:

Weasel

Construction Vehicle

Spoiler

The first of the Arm level 1 tanks is fresh out of the factory and is the most hated/feared unit in multiplay, the Flash:

Flash

Any similarities with the Spark are NOT a coïncidence, the Spark is based on the Flash.

All units are now available from the Downloads page, their instructions are found in the Properties popup in Pepakura Designer/Viewer.

TA Papercraft: Core Slasher & Leveler

Double feature today! Here are the Core Slasher and Leveler. The Slasher is the primary anti air missile truck, the Leveler is sort of an artillery unit.

Core Slasher

Core Leveler

Both are now available on the Downloads page. Instructions are in the Properties popup in Pepakura Designer/Viewer.

TA Papercraft: Core Raider

Here is the Core Raider, the ‘heavy’ tank of the level 1 Core units.

Core Raider

It is available on the Downloads page now! Instructions for the Raider (and Instigator/future releases) can be found by going to ‘Properties…’ in the File menu of Pepakura Designer/Viewer.

TA Papercraft: Air Transports

Busy week, so here are the Arm Atlas and Core Valkyrie air transport planes.

Arm Atlas

Core Valkyrie

Both models are complicated, but the Atlas features arms that can slide out from the fuselage, just like in the game. The Valk has a complicated tail and nose assemble, so pay great attention to the instructions in the Properties window. Click the links below the images to get the files. Their galleries will also be helpful in constructing the models: Arm Atlas and Core Valkyrie.

TA Papercraft: Intimidator

And here is the Core Intimidator, the long range plasma cannon. Not as accurate as the Big Bertha, but has a longer range.

Core Intimidator

 

As usual, click the link under the image to get the file. Instructions are in the properties window in Pepakura Designer/Viewer. For additional instructions, look in the gallery.

Bonus image of both LRPC’s together:

TA Papercraft: Big Bertha.

Sorry for not posting that much lately, but I am still working on models. This time, it is the Arm Big Bertha, the long range plasma cannon.

Arm Big Bertha

Instructions for the BB are in the ‘Properties’ window in Pepakura Viewer/Designer and photo’s of the actual model and its construction can be found in the gallery: Arm Big Bertha. Click the link under the above picture for the model itself, or find it on the Downloads page.

I am still working on the lvl1 vehicles and both Commanders, as well as two Warhammer 40.000 model repaints, the Avenger strike fighter and the Macharius heavy tank.

SpringFiles: Finnish Flag

Version:  3.0 Spring Maps Freeware

Update: Texture map quality improvement; metal map changed (white areas give less metal)

Well here it is. After much work polishing the heightmap, its finally done! Made with Loathe. 🙂

Gravity: 20 -> 4 (As of 2.3)
Hardness: 30 (Nordic Cross), 150->75 (As of 3.0) (White area)
Max Metal: 25

Special notes:
Water deals damage (~100DPS). Hovers should be immune to the water damage.

Nordic Cross is worth more metal than the white areas, however, its more dangerous to build a base in the area.

Units move 33% faster on the Nordic Cross.

Tips:
Use Terrain deformation, impulse and even terraform to your advantage and crush the enemy or throw them into space. Lots of lulz to be had.

Zero-K: Much Awaited Orbital Sniper Base Cancelled, Licho Outraged

Following the success Orbital Sniper Technique in recent field trails, our top engineers have been hard at work designing a large scale Orbital Sniper Base to protect us from the impeding Chicken Threat. Disaster struck when, early in construction, a crippling issue was discovered with with a pivotal component to the design. After thoroughly checking their results our top scientists concluded that Surfboard is no longer transportable. Leading theorists suggest that a recent change to the Laws of Physics is at work. With this roadblock the entire Orbital Sniper Project has been scrapped.

Licho responded to this with the following statement:
* AoE 256 -> 192
* Damage 2500 -> 2000

Also:
* Brawler cost 850 -> 800
* Multi-Stunner, +12.5% AoE, +25% spread, +100% duration, +8.5% damage
* Disintegrator Gun, ~10% more reload time
* Shock Rifle, 5% less range * SLAM, +43% reload time, +35% damage
