Hello?
18:30
< FlakManiak1>
Hey.
18:32
< Mantisking>
Hey.
18:34
< Mantisking>
How are you doing today?
18:34
< FlakManiak1>
Fairly ok. The weather is too hot and humid, but I've been playing instruments and I figured out how to cook hash browns. So, a productive day.
18:34
< FlakManiak1>
(It turns out cooking hash browns is super simple.)

Today, I tackled the Scrambler.
21:36
< Ced23Ric>
And I think I cracked the nut.
21:36
< Ced23Ric>
Scrambler v2 is a thing.
21:40 * mraichelson takes notes
21:41
< FlakManiak1>
Are you trying to make custom versions of all the book designs?
21:41
< FlakManiak1>
Hmm. I really should order parts for that one company I've had on hold.
21:41
< Ced23Ric>
Not really. Just wanted to reboot the Scrambler.
21:41
< Ced23Ric>
Because that has been on my mind for quite some time now.
21:41
< Ced23Ric>
Lemme show you my pokemans.

21:44
< mraichelson>
nice
21:45
< Ced23Ric>
They look very spidery.
21:46
< Ced23Ric>
I haven't found a decent solutions for Arty/Melee yet, but those work as Grunts/Soldiers.
21:46
< Ced23Ric>
The tooth piece in the front legs makes me giddy with excitement.
21:46
< FlakManiak1>
Damn. Got some serious elegance there.
21:46
< FlakManiak1>
And yeah the tooth piece on the front legs is great.
21:47
< mraichelson>
todo list: melee versions of scramblers, chicken walkers.
21:47
< Ced23Ric>
Gives it a claw-y look. Lie they could really hook into something and pull themselves over buildings etc.
21:47
< Ced23Ric>
Or, just plain plunge them into hostiles.
21:48
< Ced23Ric>
Mhmm. I might simply make those legs more clawey and call that melee.
21:48
< FlakManiak1>
I need your elegance, more of gatlinggouf's excess than I already have, and Soren's je ne sais quoi.
21:48
< Ced23Ric>
>implying I have eegance
21:48
< FlakManiak1>
And some other attributes from other builders.
21:48
< Ced23Ric>
I am literally just slapping shit together like an engineer trying to solve problems.
21:49
< Ced23Ric>
Any elegance you might see is accidental.
21:49
< FlakManiak1>
Well that's probably it, because I do it more like an artist, trying to impart a certain feeling.
21:49
< FlakManiak1>
Well, for most of my builds.
21:49
< FlakManiak1>
I have some style or shape or theme I want to evoke.
21:50
< Ced23Ric>
Well, I usually internalize the design language and then solve problems.
21:50
< Ced23Ric>
"need strong hind legs", "need ball turret", "need quadruped"
21:50

Ced.
21:51
< Ced23Ric>
Ray!
21:51
< Mantisking>
How's things?
21:51
< Ced23Ric>
Pretty good! Just finished my Scrambler Reboot test.
21:52
< Mantisking>
I have no idea what that is.

21:52
< Ced23Ric>
Taking the Scrambler, doing it again. A reboot.
21:54
< Mantisking>
I dod one a while ago.
21:54
< Mantisking>
"did"

21:55
< Ced23Ric>
Looks more tactile than the original.
21:55
< Ced23Ric>
Not a fan of the colours. :D
21:56
< Mantisking>
I seem to build a lot using Bley and Yellow.
21:56
< FlakManiak1>
Light bley and yellow look fine to me, but dark bley and yellow just don't really work.
21:56
< FlakManiak1>
But then I'm not big on yellow at all.

22:02
< Ced23Ric>
I ran out of 3x3 dishes.
22:02
< Ced23Ric>
The Scrambler uses 7 of those per model.
22:03
< Ced23Ric>
I happen to have 17 - 3 in use with IO frigates.
22:04
< Ced23Ric>
So, by my calculation, I need at least ... 29 more.
22:04
< Ced23Ric>
And 8 more of those teeth.
22:13
< Ced23Ric>
Mhmm. I think I wanna reboot the Conscript and Commissar.
22:13
< FlakManiak1>
IMO the 2x2 dish above the 3x3 in the torso should also be dark bley.
22:14
< FlakManiak1>
That's my only gripe about the design.
22:14
< Ced23Ric>
I had none, that's the only reason.
22:14
< FlakManiak1>
Yeah I figured.
22:14
< Ced23Ric>
I'll get some.
22:15
< Ced23Ric>
Done!
22:17
< FlakManiak1>
Is it the light... Or do I spy and old dark grey antenna on the left one?
22:17
< FlakManiak1>
It's just the light, right?
22:17
< Ced23Ric>
It is not, to my shame.
22:18
< FlakManiak1>
Shame, condemnation, etc. Your dishonor lasts forever, blah blah.
22:18
< FlakManiak1>
Or at least until you get a dark bley one and photograph it.
22:19
< Ced23Ric>
Yupp!
22:22
< FlakManiak1>
But even now it's subtle in the pictures.
22:23
< Ced23Ric>
I'll probably go for smaller antennae later. This is still just a test.
22:24
< FlakManiak1>
Well they look great so far. If that's a test, I'd love to see your finished product!
22:25
< Ced23Ric>
Probably gonna tweak the antennae, the "eyes" and come up with more turrets for arty applications.
22:25
< Ced23Ric>
And I'll do some sort of melee. Somehow. Not sure yet.
