Our fleet needs 1.6 update o7

Thank you for all your work on this mod. It is one of my all time favorite mods for vehicle expansion. My next major run will be a mobile grav ship base acting as a deployment setup for these MACS.

1.6 update coming?

Of course! Haven't had much time lately, but if anything breaks I'm gonna make sure it's fixed :)

Is there hope for an update to 1.6?

Combat extended ammo used:

Battle cannon : 120mm cannon shell
Machine gun: .50 BMG
Gatling cannon: 30x173mm NATO
Missile launcher: 83mm SMAW rocket

You included the Vehicles.dll in this mod, which is already different to the original of the Vehicle Framework... Any technical reason for this?

where do i craft it i don't see it in research or vehicle tab

According to the CE compatability list, this should work with CE

there's a mod called titan vehicles continued that has an osprey that can carry up to 2 of these mechs across the map in a caravan for raiding purposes.
i tried the aircraft framework one and that just lets you carry them around across your own tile.

It should! Let me know if it doesn't.

does this work in 1.5?

Lustreax, I think you need to put a pilot in them first.

i cant seem to select any of the mechs as vehicles to accompany my caravan

i think weaker earlier mechs would good, i accidentally destroyed a powerfocus chip after using the mech to steamroll the mechhive queen.

you should remake the gungriffon for 1.5

I prefer this using Vanilla Vehicles over exosuit. Exosuit is good, but this is very much a vehicle.

You the framework that was made after this mod was created? Idk how I about being unable to leave the mech without a hanger.

would have been better if this uses exosuit framework.

whenever i try to move it, i get this error code first

do you plan on adding in more features via upgrades for modularization?

@Brother Mentula - cool mod! Can you make a setting where you can limit # of weapons available to the mechs? (i.e. I could choose to make it only have 1 weapon installed, with swappable weapons?) - or just choose when constructing the mech which weapon will be installed? (only 1 weapon)? Right now I feel like the multiple weapon choices are too OP.

Can anyone tell me if this will spawn in enemy raids (operated by enemies)?

"NO! THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE!" i guess...?

god ayre is so hot

I mean i have been ectastic since the VE team promised warwalkers, and while that got delayed and pushed to kingdom come and all that. This will provide an excellent alternative,

I suppose you could take a look at Warwalkers whenever the hell that happen. Either way thanks! Was starting a solo run and a solo piloted mech felt about right.

Hey Barry,

Thanks for getting back to me, and it was user error. I had tried utilizing the C5 Galaxy thinking of big bird, turns out that was from a different Aero Mod. The NL-7 from aerocraft had the fast loading you were talking about and I see what you meant now. Would love to see something similar to that hauler, that or go down the route of something akin to the MW/Battletech Series leopard!

Thanks again, love the work you do.

Smurf,

Currently, you do have that capability. I mentioned in the description "-Did you know, with Aircraft Framework and a big enough bird, you can fast load these mechs and deploy them from the air? I didn't. Now I do. Now you do too!"

You have to use fast load, but you can. A dedicated hauler to deploy a group of three via airdrop was in the works, though. Inspired by that big AC:6 helicopter transport.

Out of curiousity has there ever been a thought about SRTS or Vanilla Framework to include an airship or vehicle capable of hauling other vehicles? I'm thinking something of like a big rig pulling a tank for fuel efficiency or a larger ship capable of carrying 1-2 Ground vehicles to cut down on deployment times.

Does anyone know which caliber of ammo V1 Gungriffon used in CE

I think many of us eagerly await to see what the mysterious box will reveal! =p

Just finished getting settled in :) I hope to have something out next month/September.

"I just started a new job but I plan on doing an overhaul when I get the time."

Any news or info about this overhaul update for one of my favorite mods?

@Touka I intend to. Tips and donations towards this end are really appreciated.

PLEASE MAKE MORE MECHS

Yes, it is 1.5 compatible already. Any further issues, please put them in the bug thread. I just started a new job but I plan on doing an overhaul when I get the time.

As far as the CE Version: That is handled by someone else. I'm fine with anyone making CE patches, but time is stretched pretty thin for me these days- I don't have time to support/code a CE version or else I would. Any issues you're having with thatwith that, you'd need to post up for the CE Edition that someone else is maintaining.

there are many problems with the CE, often opponents who fight in close combat do not notice the vehicle, and the vehicle does not have a description of the weapon and caliber, I just physically do not know how to charge it and do not know the combat power of its guns, or I have some bugs, or there are not enough updates
thanks

@darkzero It's already available for 1.5 though, has been for a minute. Works as intended in-game too. Enjoy!

Hope you can implement some upgrades to the mechs in here since the Vehicle Framework now allows upgrades to various vehicles.

Not to be one of those, but I'm hoping for a 1.5 release.

Thanks Kiyoshi, I'll look into it. When it happens again, can you kindly log it and put it in bug reports so I can dissect it?

Theres a bug with flight, the sprite doesnt load when in flight and still appears on the ground before reappearing at its intended destination

Correction: "You know, I have an idea for a couple of new furs" I didn't mean "furs" but actually "mech". In my native language these two words are spelled the same and the translation program took it as if I was writing about wool, I didn't notice it at once

I appreciate the input, thank you.

Thankyou

You know, I have an idea for a couple of new furs, if you don't mind, of course.

High-MACS V1 Beam - Armed with a long-range laser cannon, shoots and aims slowly, but it hurts a lot. A kind of sniper version of the mech.

High-MACS V1 Dragon - Armed with two powerful flamethrowers whose volleys can fan a large area in front of them, instead of steel - eats a lot of chemical fuel.

Mini-MACS V0.1 is a cheaper version of mech (Sorry, but I find the standard two very, very expensive to build, I would like something more affordable.) . It costs half as much resources. However, its characteristics are slightly underestimated, besides, only one weapon is available for use, so it has as many as 3 variations:

The GAU version is a machine gunner, has a simple minigun, and not a rapid-fire destructive autocannon.

Gehenna's version is a Flamethrower, everything is clear here. The Dragon's little brother.

The Wrecker version has a shotgun and a lightweight design, moves a little faster

Appreciate the requests! It's been updated- if there's any problems, let me know and I'll shoot 'em down.

Barry good sire, how far away do you think you are from the fix? I feel a desperate need to take these things for a test drive in my colonies defence forces good sire.

Note: I'm aware there is currently some issue with 1.5. I've got an update queued up to go, but it looks like VF is having some issues.

Must have for them hard to deal with heavy mechanoid units
