I am hosting the Robot Storm public mod on Xwis, basically me and a freind have made some preliminary tests to the game tried it, we liked it, but a respected clan on Xwis seems to find it "ugly" and "boring", and also the quote of "Volkov killed all my units by himself, that is imbalanced". We tried to say to the guy that different combos of units would work, but it fell on silent ears.
Your mod is class, and people from Xwis have been calling it my mod, which I deny, saying you made it, but some people still think it :S even though its on the forum that I did say I didnt make it.. weird. I also host some sort of Robot Storm mod removal service (god knows how it got like that) as peoples games seem to be ovveridden by the Robot Storm beta. Personally I love what you have made becuase it offers a new, bright futuristic war between 3 fresh factions.
Me and my freind have test tried it, and we've found these problems:
Bomb Jeeps are too uber, they take down everything pretty quickly, and you cannot passive aquire them, meaning they just clamber in and blow stuff up. I propose that you can passive aquire, but they get a good armour upgrade (you can say that hes zooming so loonistic he dodges lots of shots). Not even Hades or anything can stop them (mainly NEXUS has the biggest problem).
Another detterant to the game is the so called "lameness" of Volkov, personally I love Volkov (hes my No.1 Ra1 hero
) but people really dont like him becuase he takes so much damage, cant be chrono'ed, blasted, acidded, but Bomb Jeeps work, but that is another uber unit 
) Players see Volkov as a detterrant, especially when people are against 2 Volkovs which seems to hit the nail on the coffin (via Robot Production Plant). I'd increase the cost to $2000 for Vokov, it levels his price, and if the enemy has fighters, they can stick him in a Ripper drone and avoid aerial confrontation, and if they do do it, they will take damage from the Ripper and NEXUS defences.Thats my 2 cents for now
Class job there guys, keep up the good work, your mod rules =)Heres the link to the forum post I have mentioned about.
