"Hover/Flying: Fast and maneuverable
Flying: Better handling Weak with very low Capacity
Hover: Higher speed but worse accuracy with slightly higher capacity"
First off, why would hover have worse accuracy? Unless they bob up and down (and since this is futuristic technology they would most likely be using some energy hovering technology, and I doubt that would bob). In fact, I would think that they would have better accuracy, since bipeds do not stay perfectly steady while walking, and treads would rock on uneven terrain. Of course, I suppose they would mess up when firing when entering a abrupt stop, since they might tip forward a bit. But that would be hard to implement, I would think. Also, I don't get the higher capacity thing, since they would need extra room for the hover device, room for turning jets and room for thrusting jets. If anything would have higher capacity I would think it would be a treaded 'bot. I would thinks hovers would be more like this-
"Hover: Somewhat fast and very maneuverable, higher speed but with less armor. Cannot be hurt by damaging terrain and also can move over water."
I do agree with it being highly maneuverable, as that would be true in real life. Since the hover is not touching the ground, it would be able to turn faster than anything on robotic legs or wheels, as it could fire a maneuvering jet to the side and turn quite well. I think the not being hurt by bad terrain and going over water part is self-explanatory. I am getting too carried away, aren’t I?
Oh well, I am just posting this because Infinite asked me to.
Edit: Vercoln, I like your ideas, but wouldn't the Vulpes mech be rather pointless. Unless the mechs are actually as good as your mechs, it wouldn't be worth using the revive. And I doubt you should be able to revive bosses... and would spying be really useful in an action game (unless it is a mission objective or something)?
Oh and, I meant thrusting jets, not trusting jets, silly spellchecker
