I guess the hat obsession was just a way to get her mother's attention or imitating her? Now Engie doesn't uses hats so neither does she. Wait, now Engie uses fanservicey clothes more often and in front of her...
@Zadey: My drills break a lot in combat being on front, so I changed it for GeoCorp metal plates.
You can mine with guns but it's not effetive. This said has you vehicle start to get bigger it's kinda hard to "aim" the drill to some low pieces of rocks sometimes.
also @Jo, drills make for effective weapons especially the Geocorp drill that bigger then gunvester II there(they tend to knock off blocks instead of break them) then theres wings and rocket boosters for flying vehicles, hover techs theres 4 factions, they are all fairly different
@Jo Pereira: the prop bricks arent super useless, they can serve as a armor plate of sorts
as for angies first design, you can cut trees and destroy rocks with guns just fine
@Luke Campbell: aye, even though we only see her 'woefully hatless' now considering her origin story.
I mean, what has the world come to if people are no running around in yellow hardhats all the time?!
