Mech are made of ARMOR
Dr.Akaggy: I’m sorry, but I insurance doesn’t cover for bandit fighting.
Client: What part of "A simple bandit used a basic gun and wrecked my Solarium-Durasteel with added Goliath module mech" don’t you underestand?
Dr.Akaggy: Well, what did you expect? You simply got shot…
Client: Inside the toughest materials known to the universe, or so you claimed when you sold me this mech body.
Dr.Akaggy: It must have been a strong gu-
Client: No it wasn’t, a dog nearby ended up killing the bandit and it was fine, a simple bandage and good to go.
Dr.Akaggy: I’m sorry, I can’t simply make invincible mechs…
Client: I just want my mech to be made out of ACTUAL ARMOR.
Fermion Mech Engineer: Excuse me, I happen to listen complaints about my field, what’s going on?
Dr.Akaggy: They are asking to make mechs invincible…
Client: No, I just want a mech that feels like a tank and can shrug-off weaklings.
Fermion Mech Engineer: Oh, let me just rewrite reailty and make plating actually work!
Dr.Akaggy: Haha… Wait, you serious?!
Client: What?
Fermion Mech Engineer: Done! Check back in a few minutes and mechs should be good now.
Client: Thanks?
Dr.Akaggy: I gotta let go of the deathsticks…
Dr.Akaggy: Let’s see, testing of Shockhopper Mk4 against Cheap Shade Co. pistol, beginning…
*Bullet ricochets and breaks a window*
Dr.Akaggy: What in the name of Dreadwing?! That’s never happened before.
- Makes mech defence upgrades feel more impactful.
- Attacks that deal too little damage get "mitigated" by the armor.
- Weak ranged attacks "reflect" bullets in random directions.
- Adds 6 mech horns(platings) alter the effects of this mod. (Craftable at the mech station in" bodies")
- Reflected bullets keep damageType and statusEffects.
I felt that upgrading "Defense" in mech bodys was not that impactful, that walking through a planet would end up thrashing my mech, disregarding how strong it was. That even the most powerful and expensive modded mechs could still be beaten by a bunch of angry poptops.
But no longer!
When your mech has enough armor that it reduces the damage of weaker enemies to nothing, they really get shrugged off, dealing 0 damage to you.
I mean, armor made of a material that surpasses tungsten by a factor of almost 2 should be amazing.
- Vanilla mech armors range from tier 3 to tier 7.
- Modded bodies that go beyond 7 (Like Venturer X) are really strong.
- Space enemies are stronger than non-space enemies.
- NPCs with "small caliber" weapons (fast firing or shotguns) are easily deflected.
- Deflect chance, reflect damage, damage threshold and deflect angle are configurable via patches.
Can be freely uninstalled.
