Amazing game
First off, let me say thank you for a great game. Everything was very well polished from the interface to the battles. Please don't be offended as the following is simply constructive feedback to make the next version even more amazing. Also, I never had any crashing issues. I played it through one time without incident. I use Firefox 2.0.
1. The interface is very slick. I think a warning would be nice when trying to equip a chassis with more than it can handle. Perhaps something like a red box that flashes "This would exceed this chassis's maximum payload" or something similar. A drag and drop interface (drag component onto a chassis) would be very dynamic.
2. The AI seems capable enough, but at times I noticed it would keep looping into a corner instead of doing a 180 and engaging the enemy. This could use a bit more fine tuning. Being able to customize the AI somewhat would be a nice addition. Perhaps engagement modes such as: offensive, defensive, and decoy would allow one's force to be more capable.
3. "Zone 13" is rediculous. This needs to be toned down just a tad. I stuck it through, but it took me more than a dozen tries with the same force. Finally, the random number generator worked in my favor. While I can see your desire to make it a difficult fight, a little less would still be a challenge. I was getting pretty frustrated there for awhile (my only real complaint).
4. There is a nice chassis selection. However, I would have liked to see a "max weight: 40" chassis to round out the field.
5. The weapon selection was great! Make more components! The same goes for plating.
Overall, this was one of the finest flash games I have ever played. Well done!
