why have players lower ranking than me got proto mech and i have not?

because they have completed more missions than you have.

The prototype mech is actually one of the crappest mission tier awards >( , only +15 invasion attack, why cant it be 100? 15 invasion isn't even a improvement worth considering since ending missions takes a enomous amount of energy, time and effort.
Its like throwing ping pong balls at a navy destroyer

Well it is a prototype, don't expect it to be godly...

im still holding out for an invasion attack branch, where players can build mechs, hovertanks, aerial vehicles, etc and invasion attack would be the only attack that matters when invading. but we'll see...

I think the mech should also add 15 attack to your ship. I mean, why can't the mech fire at your enemies when it's not invading planets? I can see the thing standing on some platform on your ship so that it can leap off to drop onto enemy planets or fire at enemy ships.

You guys are asking an awful lot from that mech. You see the picture of him on your screen? That's *actual size!* 15 attack is a lot of firepower for something that's an inch tall.

LMAO

Captain sitting in his quarters. Crew member comes in with a box.
"Sir our new tier reward just came in from command. Would you like to open it?"

Captain-Sure, put it on my desk.

Crewmember leaves.

Captain-Ah, a prototype mech...finally, I can take that planet from that rascally legion! Now I will claim planet as my territory. Hahaha!

Open box and pulls out one inch tall mech.

Captain-You have got to be kidding me...

LOLOL! How are you suppose a pilot inside that thing???

with a quasi spacial contraction artifact

Captain-Curse you UPS! I demand boxes that are bigger on the inside!

you dont, its remote controlled

Runs out of batteries all the time though.

That's assuming you can *find* any batteries that your wife hasn't used for her "battery-operated boyfriend."

not sure if it has been mentioned yet but the mech should not take deck size, it should be cargo. i mean im pre sure i didnt weld my mech to the bottom of my ship

im also sure it dosnt take deck size. nor cargo. maybe hanger space *crosses fingers for hangers and invasion shocktroops* but anyway, its a size zero, so it dosnt rly matter...

i imagine it just chills, sitting at the front of the ship (outside), then when it comes to a planetary invasion, Johnson appears.
"your remote control sir" and your all like... "lets do this" *dramatic fight scene music* X-D

After getting your wifes battery powered boyfriend taking the batterys out and poping them back in your control again

i think it just sits on the captains desk, sometimes there is some turbelunce and the thing falls off the table and explodes.

or the captain flushes it down the toilet and it get ejected outside the ship and crash lands on the enemies planet doing that little bit of invasion differance each attempt to invade. after the attempt a private goes back and fetches it so you can do it again
