ATC Online is an online action game featuring flying robots. It was previously known as RayCrash when it was first released sometime during 2003. RayCrash was published by pagn.net.

Gameplay

Although RayCrash is a 3d flying game, it plays like a 2d game. It only allows you to move up and down; left and right. The player first has three slots in which they could make a character based on the five available. Players gain level and money by killing other robots in deathmathes. The player can upgrade and customize their said robots using the money gained in the itemshop.

Various items also appear ingame to provide some fun.

HP- Hit Points; however, in this game they are referred to as armor.

GP- Guard Points: this continually regenerates, unless the player is all out of these. Without them, the player is unable to block.

BP- Bit Points. Bit Points are the energy of Bits. Bits are tiny mobile units that are unique to each robot. They continually regenerate.

B.E.- This is energy used by the robot itself. Without this, various energy weapons, movement would not be possible. One must refrain from firing beam weapons and dashing to regenerate it.

Dashing- Dashing is a form of movement. Robots use it to move quickly in short bursts.

Guard/Block- Blocking enables the player to translate all damage to their GP unless the GP is completely zero. Buster weapons, lasers, and explosions cannot be block and guarding only blocks the front of the mech.

HUD- Heads Up Display. This shows the position of other players to the player fighting. Other players appear as green triangles around the circle (the color changes when in a team). Outlined triangles represent missiles.

Mecha

Zeid

Reference:

Height: 17.5m

Weight: 35t

Manufacturer: SPDA

Type: Speed, Energy

Initial Armaments:

Beam Blade

Triple Magnum

Missile Launcher

EMP shock disk

Official Information:
Zeid did not start off as a battle suit but instead was a suit made for patrolling the skies. Extensive research was done to outfit him with weapons which would enable him to retain his speed. This prototype proves that speed is a major factor in battles.

Bit Type:

SB Type R

Zeids are the fastest fighters. However, their armor (and HP) are the lowest of the five. Their armaments to donot take energy from their B.E. which allows them to Dash ore frequently. Zeids were created as primarily speedy raiders. Their Bit function repairs them.

Alicia

Reference:

Height: 17.3m

Weight: 33t

Manufacturer : SPDA

Type: Speed, Energy

Initial Armaments:

Sharpened Saber

Double Hand Gun

Plasma Piercing Bow

Liquid Pulse

Official Information:
SPDA has refused to reveal any information retaining to Alicia making it one of the most unpredictable in the battlefield. Many that have encountered Alicia in battle are often left in a daze.

Bit Type:

DB Type M

A mecha shaped like a lady, Alicias are the second fastest mecha. Whereas Zeids are long range specialists; Alicias are specialized in melee. Their armaments focus on this, on most of their long range weapons provide status effects to hinder opponent's escape. Players will often notice Alicia players to activate their Void Pulse (a weapon the provides temporarily invincibility) before dashing close and attacking. Their Bit function is holographic; they create holograms positioned in a 45 degree angle to the real Alicia, forming a triangle. Only the real Alicia can be damaged, however, only the real Alicia can make damage.

Deff

Reference:

Height: 23.5m

Weight: 45t

Manufacturer : IPA

Type: Speed, Damage

Initial Armaments:

Heavy Blade

Arm beam gun

Head Beam

Plasma shock wave

Official Information:
Deff was made to be a damage dealer but when its speed was compromised, IPA came to the conclusion that less damage is better opposed to Deff being a sitting duck. Thus, Deff was built with the perfect balance of speed, armor and damage.

Bit Type:

SB Type E

Deff. They are the balanced of all mecha. Medium speed, medium range, medium attack, medium armor, medium melee. There are no real weakness that a Deff has. Their armaments reflect this as they provide a mix of weapons. Deffs however are capable of fielding a large amount of projectiles in a short amount of time, which may provide confusion as players scramble to get away. Their Bit function is restraint; their Bits latches unto someone and reduces their attack, dash and guard.

Red Kite
<!-- Unsourced image removed: -->
Reference:

Height: 19.8m

Weight: 47t

Manufacturer : IPA

Type: Long-range, Energy

Initial Armaments:

Beam Blade

Plasma Rifle

Plasma Buster Canon

Plasma confusing beam

Official Information:
Red Kite is fitted with a highly classified nano technology engine from IPA. His long range makes him a deadly foe but is one of the hardest to master.

Bit Type:

DB Type 1

The second slowest mecha. Red Kites depend on their B.E. all the time. All their armaments are beam weapons therefore they use up alot of B.E. However, this means that not even blocking can stop their dreaded Plasma Cannon and CP Cannon. They specialize in ranged combat and their weapons reflect this; their beam cannons cannot be blocked and have and extraordinary range, capable of passing through solid objects and hitting numerous targets, they also last .5 seconds and any mecha passing may also be hit as well. Players are devided whether they should focus on melee, or in range altogether. Their Bit function is defense; their Bit protects them from projectiles by physically blocking blasts and melee weapons and shooting down missiles.

Gigas

Reference:

Height: 25.3m

Weight: 68t

Manufacturer : SPDA

Type: Damage, Defense

Inital Armaments:

Heavy Blade

Heavy Gatling Gun

Cluster Canon

X-MIne

Official Information:
Gigas is a tank built to destroy anything in its path. With its heavy armor, it can plow trough enemies with its destructive weapons. But due to its weight, the Gigas is slow and is less maneuverable.

Bit Type:
AB Type 1

The slowest of all mecha. Whereas Zeids are fast and weak, the Gigas is slow and powerful. It has the highest armor of all five mecha and certainly the most powerful amaments. They are slow but have a weapon specifically designed for abusing this to their advantage. They have a long-range explosive weapon that is unblockable; enemies in its blast radius are affected as well. Unfortunately, allies are capable of getting damage as well. Even the user itself. Their Bit function is homing; their Bit homes in a targetted mecha and continuosly fires lasers. The opponent is then forced to continously move lest they be hit by an unblockable attack.
