It's worth noting I edited my first post in this thread a million times to include further ideas. In the pending parts list I've already got ideas for Kisaragi cores utilizing hangar capability (As opposed to just regular Cores for Mirage, AMS cores for Crest, etc). Additionally, I was imagining the EO cores would utilize missile weapons: Hi-act missiles for lightweight, Stealth missiles for midweight, and Burst missiles for heavyweights (This is because multiple launches would be kind of complicated, rendering the whole Small/Middle/Large thing kind of pointless).
I also have ideas for Extensions you can equip to add extra Core-related abilities (Such as EO extensions, OB extensions, and Hangar extensions).
All parts can be tuned, including weapons and optional parts. It would be possible to tune specific weapon stats to lower than their original value in order to bring up other values, but as seen in ACLR, the effect of tuning lessens as you bring it further.
Oh, and it would be rather silly if you could equip high-end MT parts in some places. i mean, D-4 clearly used the ZWG-HC-IR/K99 plasma rifle, ZRL-774/WH radar, and ZWM-LD2/IDA dual missile units, along with ZBT-ZI/ARTERE boosters. And it doesn't take a whole lot of thought to figure out M-9 was using dual KARASAWA-MK2s, EWX-BAL4s, and more ARTERE boosters. So wouldn't it be fair enough if we could, say, equip miniature Devastator legs?
And lastly, I was thinking that nearly every stat for specific things would be a number instead of a equipped/not equipped option, like how whether or not a head was equipped with an ECM canceller was simply changed to a Vs ECM stat. This would make for some interesting results, for example, heavyweight bipeds COULD fire some cannons if they had high enough stability (versus the cannon's recoil value), or Stealth would only work if your ECM level was higher than your enemy's Vs ECM values. It could potentially make things complicated, but then Armored Core was never intended to be a simple game.

Ideas for "Armored Core Nexus HD" -
-On Xbox 360 and PS3 in HD (Normals in HD woooo)
-All parts from AC-ACLR (Save for obviously redundant parts such as ECM-XR00 and CCM-00-STO)
-All missions from AC-ACLR (Plus Extended/Reverse sides save for ACLR, which already has them through the branching mission paths)
-VR Arena consisting of entirely custom AC designs specifically for the game, and an EX Arena consisting of the arenas from respective games
-NPC AC designs (And a couple of GP-ACs and high-end MT designs) able to be unlocked as specific parts
-All hand weapons able to be used as either left-hand or right-hand
-Hybrid between AC2, AC3, and ACNX engines
-Human PLUS unlocked via typical (not very noble) means, but OP-INTENSIFY is also included in much the same fashion as AC3 (If you don't feel like going thousands of credits into debt)
-An Art Gallery and other miscellanea
-A joke mode where you play as an MT (Human PLUS users get infinite boosting, which varies in usefulness as some MTs simply lack boosters)

PILOT DESCRIPTION A rather aged Raven with a largely unwritten history, Tom is insistent on using napalm to fight things, as he claims "They're the best thing against those goddamned bugs". He claims to have once been employed by a special forces squadron dubbed the "Frighteners", but no records of such an organization exist. Many think he's past his due, but he is adamant that he knows more than anyone.
AC DESCRIPTION Heavyweight quad-leg built around thermal stress-inducing missile armament and anti-missile extensions. Lock-on times are slow, making it somewhat disadvantaged in close-range combat.
MY INPUT This was some old AC2AA design from a random dude's website that I found while crawling the web one day. I don't quite recall where it was, but I do recall it was one of three cheesy designs the guy had made in a series, and he had built various other models as well.

Stories are told about how he once felled an MT while on foot, and his trusty shotgun has seen him through in numerous combat situations. Strangely, however, his record at the controls of an AC have seemed rather spotty. No one knows why.
AC DESCRIPTION Quad-leg heavyweight design utilizing powerful spread-shot weaponry. Close-range combat is the unit's forte, and anti-missile extensions provide some level of defense. Long-range combat needs improvement.

He joined the Raven ranks in order to keep himself busy, but even then he has opted out of some missions due to their repetitive nature. His AC is mostly built for show, as he cannot stand piloting a boring AC.
AC DESCRIPTION Quad-leg heavyweight unit specializes in Multi Missile armament. Anti-missile extensions have been sacrificed in favor of relation missiles. Unit prefers long-range combat and tends to get edgy as targets close in.

PILOT DESCRIPTION This pilot may be rather short-statured, but that has not prevented him from building all sorts of devices to further his ego. He likes to go out in his powered exoskeleton and looks down on people who lack his technical prowess. In combat, he prefers rapid-fire weapons, which he loves the sound of firing.
AC DESCRIPTION Quad-leg design specializing in rapid-fire weaponry. Ammo stores and defense values are upped considerably by utilizing solid magazines and solid shields, respectively. Close-range combat capability is phenomenal.
MY INPUT The MGL/360 was dangerous enough as is, but with 20% more ammo, that's just introducing that much more hurt on the enemy. The spread vulcans also provide a decent emergency option if all else fails. That said, at long range this AC is a joke. Stay out of its lock range and you should be fine.

Nonetheless, she is a top-notch sniper and can even hit targets beyond lock-on range. Many try to seduce her, but all have ultimately failed.
AC DESCRIPTION Mobile reverse-joint model with a preference on its sniper rifle arms. Micro Missiles engage as range to target narrows, but the pilot prefers to stay at a distance whenever possible.
MY INPUT This was inspired by a "Now THAT'S an Armored Core!" image I saw somewhere. I changed a lot of the parts around since then though.

He constantly complains about the control scheme and has chosen his design solely based on brute force, not aesthetic value as he wishes. Many suggest he should practice more with piloting the machines, but he still longs to be back to shmupping.
AC DESCRIPTION Heavy tank-leg design with an over-reliance on linear cannon weaponry. Extremely high defense ratings make this unit an actual threat on the battlefield.
MY INPUT This is essentially my old design Damitol XR utilizing the new weapons I've come up with. With 21 Linear Cannon rounds to utilize, it would definitely be something to behold (Especially when on dual fire...oh boy). That said, it happens to have ABSOLUTELY NO RADAR WHATSOEVER! Of course, for me, that's not necessarily an issue...I memorize my level layouts. Casuals.

She believes that money is not the greatest reward and donates most of her winnings to charities. She is one of the most graceful AC pilots in the arena and many criminals have fallen to her blades.
AC DESCRIPTION Middleweight biped utilizing devastating laser blade arms. The unit also carries orbit cannons and stealth extensions. Staying out of its optimal combat range is highly advised.
MY INPUT This was also a highly-modified AC2AA design I found on someone's site. This, however, was from a Japanese one, so it's clearly a different creator at hand. Stay the HELL away from those dual MOONLIGHTs!

Many watch him in amusement, but some worry that he may one day achieve his dubious goal.
AC DESCRIPTION Heavyweight biped equipped with a hefty supply of Large Missiles. Lineargun orbits provide the only alternative source of firepower, but the pilot is known to be lucky sometimes.
MY INPUT Let's see...a possible ten-nuke launch, and a total of 27 of the damned things...how well are you going to fare against such? He's slow as hell of course, so perhaps you could take advantage of that...

AC DESCRIPTION Heavyweight quadruped utilizing grenades as primary armament. Unit equips side shields to boost defense and possesses an overboost core for emergency maneuvers.

AC DESCRIPTION Lightweight hover-leg utilizing shotgun arms, blade cannons, and energy missiles. The unit's speed is phenomenal, but it lacks defense.
MY INPUT If you ever played Raiden Fighters in the arcades, this should sure seem familiar. As an AC, it's EXTREMELY fast, so unless you like fighting enemies that fly circles around you while hammering away with dual slug guns, don't bring a heavyweight!

AC DESCRIPTION Heavyweight biped with a preference on Mirage parts and pursuit missiles. Pilot is adept at overboost usage, but prefers to end battles quickly and decisively.
MY INPUT Lanzar, lanzar, lanzar. What are we going to do? Bring a whole lot of decoys and pray you don't screw up anytime here. He might run out of ammo at some point, but you might run out of AP as well. Who knows.
I also have ideas for Extensions you can equip to add extra Core-related abilities (Such as EO extensions, OB extensions, and Hangar extensions).
All parts can be tuned, including weapons and optional parts. It would be possible to tune specific weapon stats to lower than their original value in order to bring up other values, but as seen in ACLR, the effect of tuning lessens as you bring it further.
Oh, and it would be rather silly if you could equip high-end MT parts in some places. i mean, D-4 clearly used the ZWG-HC-IR/K99 plasma rifle, ZRL-774/WH radar, and ZWM-LD2/IDA dual missile units, along with ZBT-ZI/ARTERE boosters. And it doesn't take a whole lot of thought to figure out M-9 was using dual KARASAWA-MK2s, EWX-BAL4s, and more ARTERE boosters. So wouldn't it be fair enough if we could, say, equip miniature Devastator legs?
And lastly, I was thinking that nearly every stat for specific things would be a number instead of a equipped/not equipped option, like how whether or not a head was equipped with an ECM canceller was simply changed to a Vs ECM stat. This would make for some interesting results, for example, heavyweight bipeds COULD fire some cannons if they had high enough stability (versus the cannon's recoil value), or Stealth would only work if your ECM level was higher than your enemy's Vs ECM values. It could potentially make things complicated, but then Armored Core was never intended to be a simple game.

Ideas for "Armored Core Nexus HD" -
-On Xbox 360 and PS3 in HD (Normals in HD woooo)
-All parts from AC-ACLR (Save for obviously redundant parts such as ECM-XR00 and CCM-00-STO)
-All missions from AC-ACLR (Plus Extended/Reverse sides save for ACLR, which already has them through the branching mission paths)
-VR Arena consisting of entirely custom AC designs specifically for the game, and an EX Arena consisting of the arenas from respective games
-NPC AC designs (And a couple of GP-ACs and high-end MT designs) able to be unlocked as specific parts
-All hand weapons able to be used as either left-hand or right-hand
-Hybrid between AC2, AC3, and ACNX engines
-Human PLUS unlocked via typical (not very noble) means, but OP-INTENSIFY is also included in much the same fashion as AC3 (If you don't feel like going thousands of credits into debt)
-An Art Gallery and other miscellanea
-A joke mode where you play as an MT (Human PLUS users get infinite boosting, which varies in usefulness as some MTs simply lack boosters)

PILOT DESCRIPTION A rather aged Raven with a largely unwritten history, Tom is insistent on using napalm to fight things, as he claims "They're the best thing against those goddamned bugs". He claims to have once been employed by a special forces squadron dubbed the "Frighteners", but no records of such an organization exist. Many think he's past his due, but he is adamant that he knows more than anyone.
AC DESCRIPTION Heavyweight quad-leg built around thermal stress-inducing missile armament and anti-missile extensions. Lock-on times are slow, making it somewhat disadvantaged in close-range combat.
MY INPUT This was some old AC2AA design from a random dude's website that I found while crawling the web one day. I don't quite recall where it was, but I do recall it was one of three cheesy designs the guy had made in a series, and he had built various other models as well.

Stories are told about how he once felled an MT while on foot, and his trusty shotgun has seen him through in numerous combat situations. Strangely, however, his record at the controls of an AC have seemed rather spotty. No one knows why.
AC DESCRIPTION Quad-leg heavyweight design utilizing powerful spread-shot weaponry. Close-range combat is the unit's forte, and anti-missile extensions provide some level of defense. Long-range combat needs improvement.

He joined the Raven ranks in order to keep himself busy, but even then he has opted out of some missions due to their repetitive nature. His AC is mostly built for show, as he cannot stand piloting a boring AC.
AC DESCRIPTION Quad-leg heavyweight unit specializes in Multi Missile armament. Anti-missile extensions have been sacrificed in favor of relation missiles. Unit prefers long-range combat and tends to get edgy as targets close in.

PILOT DESCRIPTION This pilot may be rather short-statured, but that has not prevented him from building all sorts of devices to further his ego. He likes to go out in his powered exoskeleton and looks down on people who lack his technical prowess. In combat, he prefers rapid-fire weapons, which he loves the sound of firing.
AC DESCRIPTION Quad-leg design specializing in rapid-fire weaponry. Ammo stores and defense values are upped considerably by utilizing solid magazines and solid shields, respectively. Close-range combat capability is phenomenal.
MY INPUT The MGL/360 was dangerous enough as is, but with 20% more ammo, that's just introducing that much more hurt on the enemy. The spread vulcans also provide a decent emergency option if all else fails. That said, at long range this AC is a joke. Stay out of its lock range and you should be fine.

Nonetheless, she is a top-notch sniper and can even hit targets beyond lock-on range. Many try to seduce her, but all have ultimately failed.
AC DESCRIPTION Mobile reverse-joint model with a preference on its sniper rifle arms. Micro Missiles engage as range to target narrows, but the pilot prefers to stay at a distance whenever possible.
MY INPUT This was inspired by a "Now THAT'S an Armored Core!" image I saw somewhere. I changed a lot of the parts around since then though.

He constantly complains about the control scheme and has chosen his design solely based on brute force, not aesthetic value as he wishes. Many suggest he should practice more with piloting the machines, but he still longs to be back to shmupping.
AC DESCRIPTION Heavy tank-leg design with an over-reliance on linear cannon weaponry. Extremely high defense ratings make this unit an actual threat on the battlefield.
MY INPUT This is essentially my old design Damitol XR utilizing the new weapons I've come up with. With 21 Linear Cannon rounds to utilize, it would definitely be something to behold (Especially when on dual fire...oh boy). That said, it happens to have ABSOLUTELY NO RADAR WHATSOEVER! Of course, for me, that's not necessarily an issue...I memorize my level layouts. Casuals.

AC DESCRIPTION Middleweight biped utilizing devastating laser blade arms. The unit also carries orbit cannons and stealth extensions. Staying out of its optimal combat range is highly advised.
MY INPUT This was also a highly-modified AC2AA design I found on someone's site. This, however, was from a Japanese one, so it's clearly a different creator at hand. Stay the HELL away from those dual MOONLIGHTs!

Many watch him in amusement, but some worry that he may one day achieve his dubious goal.
AC DESCRIPTION Heavyweight biped equipped with a hefty supply of Large Missiles. Lineargun orbits provide the only alternative source of firepower, but the pilot is known to be lucky sometimes.
MY INPUT Let's see...a possible ten-nuke launch, and a total of 27 of the damned things...how well are you going to fare against such? He's slow as hell of course, so perhaps you could take advantage of that...

AC DESCRIPTION Lightweight hover-leg utilizing shotgun arms, blade cannons, and energy missiles. The unit's speed is phenomenal, but it lacks defense.
MY INPUT If you ever played Raiden Fighters in the arcades, this should sure seem familiar. As an AC, it's EXTREMELY fast, so unless you like fighting enemies that fly circles around you while hammering away with dual slug guns, don't bring a heavyweight!

MY INPUT Lanzar, lanzar, lanzar. What are we going to do? Bring a whole lot of decoys and pray you don't screw up anytime here. He might run out of ammo at some point, but you might run out of AP as well. Who knows.
