----
!!''Rigidchips'' provides example of the following tropes:

'''''Rigidchips''''' is a FanSequel of ''VideoGame/{{Panekit}}'' -- a WideOpenSandbox where it's possible to create virtually any sort of DesignItYourselfEquipment -- from {{Cool Car}}s to {{Kill Sat}}s to HumongousMecha, by [[BuiltWithLEGO constructing them with chips]].

''Rigidchips'' is a {{Fan Sequel}} of ''{{Panekit}}'' - a {{Wide Open Sandbox}} where it's possible to create virtually any sort of {{Design-It-Yourself Equipment}} - from {{Cool Car}}s to {{Kill Sat}}s to {{Humongous Mecha}}, by [[BuiltWithLEGO constructing them with chips]].

Tropes include:
* {{Design-it-Yourself Equipment}}: The whole premise of the game.
* {{First Person Snapshooter}}: The core includes a 64×64 CCD camera, which can be used to take images.
* {{Gatling Good}}: The only way to get {{More Dakka}} with a weapon while still doing enough damage to make the weapon useful.
* {{No Fair Cheating}}: Setting _SETTICKS() to under 150 allows a model to become immune to bullets, at the expense of being unable to shoot. However, it's subverted - if only because a player can disable that protection only at the time the model shoots.

* {{Recoil Boost}}: Weapons provide enough recoil to achieve flight.
* {{Sniping the Cockpit}}: Shooting out a model's core can disable any model.
* {{Sub System Damage}}: Each individual chip has its own amount of {{Hit Points}}. The destruction of a chip [[AchillesHeel disables]] connections coming from it.
* {{Variable Terminal Velocity}}: Removing the core from a model increases the model's maximum velocity limit. It can also be increased through user-made mods.

** Additionally, the functions responsible for getting another player's coordinates have their results randomly shifted.

* {{Variable Terminal Velocity}}: Removing the core from a model increases the model's maximum velocity limit.

* {{Old School Dogfighting}}: Partly subverted because scoring hits is nearly impossible without {{Improbable Aiming Skills}} or a scripted [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard targeting system]].

* {{No Fair Cheating}}: Setting _SETTICKS() to under 150 allows a model to become immune to bullets, at the expense of being unable to shoot. However, it's subverted - if only because a player can disable that protection only at the time the model shoots.
