    More info after playing for 4 hours last night...

    You can make a little scout buggy

    You can make a tank

    You can even make flying machines with hover disks instead of wheels. You start out with three bays and three pre-built vehicles so you can get an idea of the balance of the vehicles, especially the flyers. Depending on the weight of your vehicle, it can be very easy to flip over and ruin your day.

    The game mode only seems to be capture points with each teams base having one point with 4 levels to be captured. There are a couple different maps with different lanes with varying elevations.

    You start out with infinite light armor blocks that you can build as small or as big of a monstrosity as you like. You attach a driver seat (required), some guns and/or satellites (both optional) and you are ready to roll. You can later unlock more advanced blocks, guns, shields and more on a skill tree.

    The points used to buy blocks come very easily by playing the game and the only purchases that require the monetized points are cosmetics. The more you play, the beefier you can make your vehicle. You do have to repair your vehicle after each match (if you took any damage). I have yet to play a round where I did not get more than enough points to repair from the match. If you get some kills, assists, captures or do some damage then that multiplies your points.

    The one con so far is for multiplayer groups. You start of with the ability to invite 2 other friends for a total of a 3 man squad. Going "premium" seems to be the only way to unlock another slot for a total of 4. While is a squad, the game will automatically put you into the same game with your squad members.

    The game is in Steam Early Access so things might change and of coarse there is the possibility of the dreaded reset.

    I would love to see what you guys can come up with and roll into battle with ya!

    We've discovered friend names are case sensitive and the game seems to crash a lot for a few individuals.

    Pew Pew with a scout buggy and scamper away seems to be my favorite tactic so far.

    This whole world really is a bore. There's so much here to slay!

    Had a sweet run this AM over my coffee. This was the 3rd of 3 wins with no deaths, Tier 3.

    After creating what Jimmy dubbed a "plasma shotgun" of floating hover-death (7 tier1, 6 tier2, 3 tier 3) I've decided to try my hand at helium with some high altitude hit-and-run bombing.

    It's infuriating.

    I know I"m like a 14 year old, and I may have had some whiskey that night, but this has somehow become a VERY efficient vehicle. I present to you, EADC:

    From the side, totally unassuming and low profile:

    From the top however, BEHOLD THE TRUTH!

    Was going to say it looks like a hotrod from pic 1. Pic 2 definitely still holds that to be true, though - just in a difference sense.

    @CannonFodder‌, @DontCallMeKelso‌ and I, Team "go Right" happened to come up against a couple of players that seemed familiar...

    Completely by random, we didn't even plan starting our rounds at the same time, we were matched up against @Thrax‌, @NiGHTS‌ and @TiberiusLazarus‌.

    Good times today Gentlemen. Thanks for the fun.

    Ran a few rounds after I rebuilt my level 5 Plasma Tank. Couple notes:

    There are chopper blades, skis and healing guns now.

    They removed the end of round cost to rebuild your vehicle.

    There is a Hero bonus now when you help your team by getting kills or capping the point. I believe this was a thing when we were playing before but it calculates separately now and is easier to understand.

    Everyone gets a 5% bonus per premium player playing in the entire match, your team or not.

    An announcer voice now announces what kind of vehicle is spotted by your radar. Telling you the type of weapon and movement (flyer, walker, etc.)

    A sound is played when a player in the match is eliminated. Unfortunately it is the same sound whether it is your team or not. This is a bit annoying to me as the sound used is the same one that used to play only when you got a kill.
