That is a major blast!

I can see that close up combat will not be without risk.

I may hate suisides even more

Which brings the question, does ejecting cause auto destruct?

I WANNA MAKE THINGS GO BOOM ;_;
i like me some big splosions ^^
'any kind of discussion of randomness ALWAYS WILL EQUATE to being able to critically hit a mech's reactor by firing a micro beam laser while facing 80 degrees to the side, shooting the ground, which would cause a random explosion which would randomly crit his entire team's reactors which would randomly cause the server itself to explode which would randomly generate a strange quark which would randomly hit the earth and randomly randomness randomfapp the shit fapp random!'

Nice explosion.

And prepare to get hit by another question, I really hope it doesn't annoy you. But I wonder...

So will mechs always explode like this when they end their lifespan or are there other ways for them to go?

Stellar explosion, best of it's kind I have seen in a game. At least you guys are concentrating on the right stuff!

Big explosions make me mucho curioso. Is this a core explosion from a mech I am assuming? If so which mech and will they all be the same or will they be Mech size specific? I also noticed the texture on the ground appears to have been changed by the blast is that just looking down through the blast effect or is there an observable change in the ground texture after an explosion? I thought I read somewhere that you were doing a deformable terrain.

@Rally and Coldfusion, as far as we've been told all the 'mech explosions will look the same, refardless of which 'mech goes boom, and everytime a 'mech dies, or pilot ejects it goes boom like in mw4.  But they've also hinted that they might look into different death sequences later on though :)

Always fun looking at the pretty boom booms  8)

Thanks, hope the devs jump in on the other questions.

Hey Heretic, is your location listed for the ship Ellan Vannin, Isle of Man? Where are you?

Yes.

If so which mech and will they all be the same or will they be Mech size specific?

It really doesn't matter which Mech exploded there as for now, all core explosions look the same. Not that I could remember anyways.

I also noticed the texture on the ground appears to have been changed by the blast is that just looking down through the blast effect

Yes.

or is there an observable change in the ground texture after an explosion? I thought I read somewhere that you were doing a deformable terrain.

If so, this might have been an earlier post. While we'd certainy like to have something like this, I know that this is not at all being worked on or even discussed about. There are a lot more urgent problems at hand than this, so don't expect to see this anytime soon, definitely not in the beta or in 1.0.

now all i need is my marshmallows. I hope explosions like this wont cause ppl to go all kamikaze. But i bet you devs prolly have a money penalty for stuff like that or something to discourage all the mechs from running into each other and ejecting.

It will be my utmost goal to cause this sort of explosion as an Elemental and try to ride the shockwave out.  ;D
