[edit] Mechs

Mechs are mobile weapons platforms with varying degrees of speed and manueverability, they are primarily intended to engage each other and not ground personel.

Personal Mechanised Vehicle Special Attacks: Fling Shot, Burst, Full Auto The personal Mech is only given to players who pre-ordered Lost Eden, it has a nice overall attack, defense and speed.
Mechanised Scout Vehicle Special Attacks: Fling Shot, Burst, Full Auto The Scout Mech is the fastest of the bunch, but has the weakest guns and armor.
Mechanised Assault Vehicle Special Attacks: Fling Shot, Burst, Full Auto The Assault Mech is the largest and most powerful, the only downside to this monster is its incredibly slow attack speed and run speed.

[edit] Turrets

Turrets are stationary gun emplacements that are designed for combating specific types of targets. They can only be used in Battlestations and your organization's tower areas.

Anti-Personel (AP) Turret Special Attacks: Fling Shot, Burst, Full Auto The AP turret is useful for taking down non-meched combatants and its damage is very good, but its Attack Rating leaves something to be desired.
Anti-Vehicular (AV) Battery Special Attacks: Fling Shot, Burst, Full Auto This turret is primarily used against heavily armored Mechs.

[edit] Rules for Mechs and Turrets

• While using a mech your abilities become those of the mech so you lose the benefit of buffs, perk abilites, and area nano programs.
• Mechs cannot jump
• Mech damage against unmeched targets for all but the AP Turret are done at fractions of the normal damage.
• When engaging in combat or being engaged, a meched character cannot leave their mech.
• After leaving a mech there is a 5 minute timer till another can be ordered.
• Dying while in a mech does not come with a 5 minute timer.
