Category:Standard blocks

These blocks are used for building "superstructures" of techs. Standard blocks have many attachment points for Weapon Blocks, Wheel Blocks, Accessory Blocks, Power Blocks, Flight Blocks, and Control Blocks. The overall sturdiness of tech heavily depends on its base blocks.

Parameters comparison
There are three main parameters that define viable blocks purposes: health, weight and shapes. Health/weight ratio helps to gauge how "tanky" individual "squares" of the block and how much mobility is sacrificed for it. The shape and overall square-number size also allows for sturdiness by compensating the shallow external damage with the health of internal structural "squares" (which also makes bigger blocks more resistant to explosive splash damage)


 * GSO has "average" and the cheapest blocks. The block shapes are consistent (1-2-3-4-5 long bars), which allows for builds with some structural strength.
 * GeoCorp has the heaviest blocks with the worst health/weight ratio, which is somewhat compensated by their larger size. GeoCorp blocks are preferable for big anchored structures and intentionally slow techs, and allows for low structural redundancy, but will "give in" catastrophically.
 * Venture has the lightest blocks with the second best health/weight ratio, yet is limited to smaller and more irregular shapes making for more fragile structures. Venture blocks are preferable for both intentionally lightweight vehicles or big mobile bases with structural redundancies.
 * Hawkeye has heavier blocks with better health/weight ratio. Hawkeye blocks are preferable for armored vehicles, that expected to sacrifice some speed, or to reinforce anchored structures.
 * Better Future has lighter blocks with the best health/weight ratio. Better Future blocks are preferable for armored, yet fast vehicles.
