One of RA2's earliest and current AI master, Starcore created the widely used Starcore AI packs, which replace the weak Stock AI with some truly dangerous machines. As a pure builder, he's no slouch; from the devastating rammer Warmachine to the mighty HS Tempus Fugit, Starcore can take any design and make the best use of it.
Starcore planned to release the V4 of it's AI pack in 2005, but he disappeared from the community some time ago. He returned in 2007, and an Alpha version of V4 was released.
Starcore's activity on the forums has been slowed to a crawl lately, but he still enters worthy tournaments once in a while and has seemingly lost nothing of his skill. He also tends to appear and post when his name is mentioned, an event dubbed "the Starcore effect" by R0B0SH4RK.
Building skills
Stock: Still a great Stock builder, even after leaving the community for a while.
DSL: Program manager, Design Lead and AI for DSL 1.0. Starcore started the DSL-TC mod building most the internals and AI for the Stock DSL 1.0 bots.
Notable Robots
Tempus Fugit: A Lightweight horizontal spinner with 6 razor tips and 2 z-teks as weapons. Earlier version entered in BBEANS3 but didn't fair well. It was massively updated for Starcore v4 Alpha making it one of the strongest LW HS around.
Alien Queen: One of the more distinctive RA2 VS ever built. Has been updated and improved with each edition of the Starcore AI packs.
Fury: Bigger brother to the updated Tempus Fugit. Fury is one of the legendary MW HS.
Maelstrom: A pretty good HW HS. It had wedges in the v3 of the Starcore AI packs, but it now has more plows and belly caster armor.
Spin Doctor: HW HS/SnS hybrid with 30 irons. Not as good as Pure HS in sheer damage potential, but it has belly caster armor that makes it much better against popups.
T-800 Terminator: A solid HW HS with 27 Maces, 2 Spikes, and 4 Ram Plates. It did very well in BBEANS5.
