@c144538707 Gonna have to ruin the mood, but most likely wont be done since I have decided to drop SP again for a good while. Stein will remain unfinished and broken for the near future.

@InsertNameHere01 I mean changing the position with mode changing
If I use Re-GZ as sample, it will look like this

@c144538707 I don't think I quite understand what you mean by the chest changing, explain further if its not a problem.

An easier question, without changing the O.S. (both of the mode is PID), can you change it standard direction when it change the mode? Like the Re-GZ
Not same as Re-GZ, my example is that the direction of the chest changes from downward to forward.between two mode

@c144538707 I can re-purpose the Stein to have dual O.S. ,however that would mean extending the test runs with at least another month and probability of success dropping to under 60% (Without it practically being too unstable for mass production usage).
However, good news (somewhat) for you, hover unit is done and installed in the base Stein thanks to new generator output and better gyro system.

*P.S. It's more of a why rather than when type of question.
Why make it dual O.S. considering the hover unit is already installed in the Stein and tuned to be on-par with Xi Gundam's handling in atmosphere? Why make it fly independently (with struggles and a lot of AMBAC usage) than to use the already mastered hover unit?

Ask you a question, can you make a mech with two O.S. ?( Such as change from normal plane flight to this PID flight
Not calling you to build a complete transformable MS, just want you to build something like Re-GZ or G-Falcon double X gundam

Or you can do this atypical large arm

@c144538707 Size is good, just needs re-shaping to be smoother and nicer to the eye.
I am also quietly updating the inner structure, alongside systems.

@InsertNameHere01 yeah~aldnoah zero great
About the updating of the body structure, I only have one advice, make it a bit bigger if you can.
Bigger size, larger capacity, and it can hold more things

@c144538707 I am well versed in the mech animes (Big fan of Aldnoah Zero, so i know the gleipnir well), and that upgrade pack can be done in the future (for now i wanna finish updating the body structure).

No need to care the performance. At least this level is already ok.
part count... maybe no need complex, meticulous shape and full armor, just make the shape simple and big pieces( such as the calf, chest and shoulder and outer side of the forearm

Maybe make this kind of calf armor with a bit larger size as hidden missle pod ( this is from aldnoah zero

@c144538707 I have no issue with making a striker pack with ejectable ordinance and droppable armor, but it will affect the performance and part count significantly.

Such as these

https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/au333O/FA-78-FULL-ARMOR-GUNDAM-THUNDERBOLT-E-F-S-F

@InsertNameHere01 But I always have a kind of idea with selfishness
You can try to add some detachable armor at the surface of the suit( Similar to that full armored Gundam in thunderbult or the Chobham armor in gundam NT-1
We always need cast off

About the advice... give me a bit time

@InsertNameHere01 can’t wait!

@TheTomatoLover Well, I will include a weapon's rack as subassembly in the next build then, so you can swap out weapons before sorties.
As of now, let's say it has plenty of firepower to take down ships on its own! (However, ammo is limited, so watch your shots!)

@InsertNameHere01 I would prefer using the weapons, makes it so cool!

Greetings again, lads @c144538707 @TheTomatoLover

I have a question for the future. Do you think the suits should stick to stuff that they carry and can use, or have decorative weaponry/ smaller stuff on them (although it wont be able to be used as of now)?

@c144538707 "-Flight system, I give B+. Minus point is the flight system is a bit not stable. (That mass may be dragging down the flight system"
"-Also it takes a bit long time to recover the balance"
"-Durability, I like it. Continue it"
"-Weapon system, maybe you need to set a rotation angle limiter."

#Let's start with list of stuff I've put my attention on:

-Flight System Upgrade (50%)✔️
-Balance upgrade (50%)✔️
-New weapons ✔️
-Cockpit update ✔️
-Automation systems upgrade ✔️

Dipping my hands into new stuff, to see what comes out of my small imagination.

@TheTomatoLover It's out of the blue, but I am interested in giving you a go at being test pilot for the next few prototype runs that I plan. That means your feedback will directly influence how the suits turn out, both in look and functionality. You will be credited.

If interested, contact me in discord (I can be found both in Skyward and SPBC as @CertifiedWeirdo).

Wish you the best,

@InsertNameHere01 To me, your builds are high quality. As a builder who has seen this site grow for 3.6 years, I think you’re very unique and excellent.

@TheTomatoLover Leave is hard word to use, "Semi-active" is more per-se.
However I disagree with the statement that no one builds VR mechs, they are just great quality and few in-between.
If anything, my builds are the bottom-tier quality when it comes to mech, at least looking at them right now.

Bro you can’t leave. No one does VR mechs.
