I have a question to ask: When will be minicons with Deepdives robot mode? (That is one of my favourites)

Armor is maxed out at 10. If you arm that minicon he will do absolutely nothing for you Sprockitz.

It won't work like that. OS has said that the armour minicon isn't cumulative with already-extant armour.

Does this go the same for the stat minicons OS, or can they go above 10?
Also, how does the limit on armor work for those that dont already have electrum? does it act as if they ONLY have electrum, or does it just fill the remaining spots with electrum?
Thirdly, and finaly, is there anyword on the bug where you already know your guy has died by the minicon symbol disapearing as sonn as the mission is suposed to start?

Stat ones go above 10, armor ones do not.
No matter what type or amount of armor you have, Deflecters give you 10 Electrum.

And as far as that bug is concerned, I will get around to it soon but it's not something I'm really worried about because everything is working fine.

So it basically ignores what armor you already had installed?

quick question, not sure if it was asked already, but can a minicon be used on a character that already has a 10 in that stat to effectivly give that stat a value higher than ten? For example, If my bot has strength 10 can I put the strength minicon on him to give him a score of 14?

Should the minicon armoury thing on the character page be causing as much havoc to the layout as it does? I'll screencap it if you need me too, maybe it's just cause I've given mine some long names.

That can make the tables overlap.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jul 17, 2007 3:58 pm

Yeah, that's what it's doing. The bar tracking upgrades is poking into the stats table, and some other stuff's overlapping too. Is that gonna stay like that, or will V2 handle the profile a bit differently? Cause I like the names I'm using but I don't want to look at this all the time.

I'll get that part fixed up when I get a chance.

The more time you spend posting, the less time you spend coding!

Hey, looks like it's fixed. I love you, bug guy. Not in that way, of course, that's for Sunblast's mammy.

For OS - Rather than 2 Speed, why not make Jogger 4 Endurance?

For everyone else saying they don't make much difference - Just what sort of difference are you expecting to see anyway?

Tue Jul 17, 2007 4:43 pm

Actually, I think Jogger is more in line with how all the minicons should be. Cheap and with a smaller boost, so you don't mind so much when it is inevitably lost.

There will be ones for endurance. Jogger is just a cheaper version of Hopper one for the lower levels to afford.

I'm sorry my Autobot bretheren. I went to experiment with a Comettor. Instea, I got jumped by a Deflector at the pound, So I have to sacrtifice it in a 2-4 mission.
