Archangel: Covering Fire
Added 2021-03-01 20:38:46 +0000 UTCThere are still more new ryders to come and be introduced into Sunrider 4 with the next of which being the new sniper class piloted by Sola. This ryder pulls on the same technology as the previously mentioned Twin Drive System however this time it factors purely into the offensive output of its weapon systems.
You don't want to be on the receiving end of any ballistics that are fired from this rifle.

I understand you can render more complicated models now, However I didn't mind that Ryders didn't have full hands before it actually looked kinda cool in its own way. But in-universe It would make sense if ryders had hands they are somewhat re-configurable now since it means they can put different weapons in their hands. You already elbarated on the new escape system and all.

2021-03-02 20:49:30 +0000 UTCBigger budget means more polys for the ryders, if we re-made the original games and their assets today then they would also end up with hands too. That said it should be noted that ryder hands did appear previously in Sunrider via Liberation Day for the Nightmare Ascendant unit. There is no particular published lore around hands on the ryders in the Sunrider universe.

2021-03-02 09:36:01 +0000 UTCI feel compelled to ask What's the point of Hands in the new Ryders. Seems like more moving parts = new points of failure to me.
