AWAKEN MY KESTRELS!

Fair warning, this is going to be a fairly short segment, probably done by midnight.

>>894376
>"Seriously, i know that everyone is getting emotinal and everything too, but lets face it, all this "Shoot your hostages an i'm shooting my hostages", getting random local people into the conflict, using traitors... And then dueling and talking about honor like nothing as happened, SERIOUSLY, this got in my nerves already, we both know that we've have gone too far and this isn't the things that we went here to fight for, this is nothing like the thing that both of us say to our people and isn't anything like the stories of glory and honor that i grew up hearing and that you guys seem to love too... Nobody more got to die, lets just correct this mess and go each of us into our merry way, look,instead of pointing guns to unharmed people and demand surrender, lets just end this okay? I'm sure that you are anxious to be reunited with your bride, and i'm just as dying to have mine in my arms."
At least two guys were backing this last thread.

Irina's voice drops down significantly in volume, it's actually scarier. You keep quiet, somewhat in awe of her sheer rage.

"I'm so tired of you." She tells him, "I'm tired of being unsafe around our own allies, of the constant treachery, the betrayal, the spying and ambushes, of having to look constantly over my shoulder when I should be enjoying a date with Amos...but you know, none of that would bother me so much if you didn't pretend you were better than us, that you were born better, that you're more honorable when you're stabbing us in the back.”

You and he both sigh at the same time, but he speaks first, “I know.” He says, “I don't like it either. This isn't the kind of fight I wanted, it isn't the kind of fight any of us wanted...except Count Ford of the Gerin and he's a monster in his own right and would probably prefer to burn you all at the stake. This wasn't my idea, I didn't even want the kittens to get involved, but if it's for the sake of the woman I love I'll sacrifice everything in this galaxy.”

An idea strikes you, “So you're here for her, then, Dame Wayland?”

Here you go. Use how you see fit.
'You want your fiance, fine. Get off the ship and tell us who the traitor is. We will get the right for the Paladin on fair terms with proper machines. Otherwise it becomes a race of who can get to their goals first and if I reach the bridge, then we go down and this get worse for everyone. You get your love, I secure the ship properly, save civilians who were dragged into this thanks to your helper, and we can do this whole thing nobly or what have you.'

>>894439
Wong, could you please awnser a question for me?
First, in case of a missile spamm causing multiple crits... Do you roll more than one time in the crit table?
Second, if a target doesn't have a "Other" servo and you roll that in the random hit location, what happen? Do you roll again?And what you hit it with missile spam? Do you jump to the next(Special location) or roll that one missile again?

“Of course. What, you thought I was married to the Duchess? By the Lady, no. She's well-preserved, but...she's a bit old for me.” He laughs wryly.

Irina cuts in, but it doesn't sound like she's talking to either of you until she addresses you personally, “Stop scowling. Amos, spooky is pretending like she can hear what you're both saying, this mystic nonsense is really making me want to shoot her.”

“I assume you have her in a cell. Trust me when I say it would be a very bad idea to open it.” The Avalonian man comments.

“Especially because once you've shot her, our entire bridge crew and commanding officer will have a life expectancy of minutes.” You add. “Including your friend Martha and the Captain.”

“Amos, don't take his side!” She snaps, “You're still in trouble with me!”

“Not as much trouble as you'll be in with me if the Duchess separates you from your gun and takes you prisoner.” You reply, before addressing the Avalonian, “Sir...I'm sorry, I don't know your name.” Although you recall mention of a Sir Hector.

“Hector Van Damme, at your service.” He responds.

“A pleasure to meet you.” Good manners, your grandpa was wont to say, cost nothing to anybody, “You know, you and Dame Wayland both managed to work over one of my mecha, I'm sure once you're back together that's something you'll both be able to laugh about.”

“I don't intend to see the inside of a cell any time soon, Sir Amos. I know you think we don't have enough men, but we've all abandoned our fear of death.” He warns you.

“That doesn't mean a man who's getting married should rush towards it.” You protest, “Look, the way things are going, a lot of people on both sides are going to get killed. I don't want anyone important to me to die, and neither should you. What would Elizabeth say?”

“Mmmph.” He grunts noncommittally.

“I think it would be a little sharper than that.” You shrug, “I have an idea. We declare a temporary truce, we both go to the bridge and convince...what's her name, Palmtree?”

“Palmyra.” He corrects you.

“Palmyra. We go to the bridge, you tell her to stand down, and you take Dame Wayland with you and just...just go.” You think you're being quite reasonable.

“Amos!” Irina protests.

“Bloodlust isn't going to do us any good, honey. So long as we still have the Paladin the brass will probably say losing one enemy officer in exchange for keeping several of ours alive is a fair trade.” You feel like you're fighting two enemies at once.

“She's nodding.” Irina growls, “And she wants me to repeat...and she could stand to be a lot more respectful with these requests...that she finds this acceptable. She actually looks smug. Is this something they teach Paladins? Are they all crazy, stuck-up, insufferable witches?”

Sir Hector grunts, “Let's just say there are a lot of differing viewpoints among our Paladins and leave it at that. My lord and teacher, the honorable Duke Eustace de Rothschild-Beauchamps of the Oliver, sees but seldom eye to eye with Duchess Carnegie, but she is the liege-lady of my betrothed, so...”

“I understand.” You do, at least sort of.

“Could you kindly hand your comm to the Duchess, if possible? I would fain hear her orders before agreeing to what I would denounce as an obvious trap from anyone with a less impeccable reputation. The Blue Knight is highly thought of, as Gas Knights go. Certainly you are no Sir Merrow, Amos Wedge.” It sounds like a compliment from his tone.

“I'll give her my PC through the food-tray slot, but if she doesn't give it back I'll hold you responsible.” Irina grumps.

There's a rustling sound, and then the eerily smooth voice of the Paladin, “Sir Van Damme, do not think I did not hear you fail to defend mine honor, but as you simply reflect the ignorant skepticism of your liege-lord as a moon reflects its sun's light, I shall allow it to pass unchallenged. Do as the boy says. I am quite comfortable here, moreso than I would be in Count Ford's company, and I feel no fear for my life. Unlike your master, I believe completely in the Lady, and that she has a plan for me, and that my purpose is not yet expended. These solars are petty creatures, but fond of their pomp.” You must have made some sound of disbelief at an AVALONIAN, particularly one who pilots the Berenger, talking about pomp, because her voice becomes much sharper, “Silence, Blue Knight. As I was saying, they will not simply kill me out of hand, but in front of an audience as large as possible in a show of strength. So long as I endure, my mission continues, and my mission is better served here on the ship bearing the Jovian princeling than it is huddled in the jungle awaiting the awakening of the horror that sleeps below this world. Take your lover, and go forth, I shall do my utmost to attend thy wedding.”

You hear him gulp slightly, "Yes...yes your excellency. It shall be done. Ah, Sir Amos, what is to be the fate of the girls who stole your ship?"

"I'll release them in exchange for the identity of the person who has been leaking information to you. You're a man of honor, I know you don't like the thought of a traitor getting away with their crimes any more than I do." You decide.

Might be a good idea to wait until after the stuff is over. It looks like he's going for the blitz so we don't have a week long cliff hanger.

>>894613

Roll it again, and yes, you roll multiple times on the crit table. Missiles are kind of a high risk, high reward strategy.

>>894632
Wait... So if i roll a 5, for example, it would hit the arms, the legs, RANDOM ROLL and Special?
Or do you prefer to roll everything? And we houserule that we should roll for each missile that hit? It would make more sense than the official rule, thats for certain, but could be pretty fatal in some cases (Like if you hit 5 shots of 3K missile in someone's torso.)

“As for the Palmyra girl, that fool has been a disappointment. She should never have allowed Garret Luxol out of her sight, and she should never have executed her plan so poorly. I do not think I could contain my displeasure, were I free to do so. Sir Van Damme, please express my distaste when you see her. I do not desire her death at this time, so perhaps the butt of your blade or the back of your hand will do.” She continues.

“I'm sorry, your excellency, I didn't quite catch that last part, I'm afraid there was some static over the line.” The knight responds stiffly.

“I told you to hit her. She has made a tremendous annoyance of herself.” The Paladin repeats.

“There it is again! Sir Wedge, did you sneeze or something? I think I got the gist, your excellency, you want me to give her a firm talking-to.”

“No, I want-” The Paladin insists.

“Kssshshhhttthsshh!” Hector makes an indescribable mouth sound, sort of like static if you're half-deaf, “Kssssshh! Oh, I'm sorry, your excellency, I can't hear you at all. See you at the bridge, Sir Wedge, I'll think about that last condition you made on the way there.” He terminates the call.

“You, Blue Knight, tell him to give that psychotic little beast a proper thrashi-” She tries you next, to no avail.

“Kssssh ksssh kssssh! Wow, this PC's connection is terrible, just terrible!” You're a bit more shameless than Hector Van Damme and don't quite try as hard, "Tell Irina I love her and that I have to go. I'm hanging up on you, not her!" You feel important to make that distinction as you terminate the call and begin leading your impromptu force first to the armory, then the bridge.

No point in being blunt, and denying her in this way probably pisses her off more than a flat insult. It's one thing to deny an order, it's another to do so in such a transparent way and not even listening.

In war you'll find that there aren't that many real bastards, just a bunch of men and women trying to get home and not get shot.

Some of them might have drank the Koolaid and belive the propaganda, but the smart fucks know that the brass doesn't give a fuck if they live or die as long as the objective is complete.

If you gotta fudge the rules a bit to make sure you and yours gets out of the mission alive then that's what you do.

You expect a lot more drama than there actually turns out to be.

As your crewmates, many of whom have never fired a weapon at a living target before, finger their arms and stare nervously at the much smaller yet perfectly disciplined troop of power-armored warriors, you and Sir Hector clasp forearms in a Roman handshake, although he doesn't quite seem to get it at first and tries to grab your hand instead. Eventually, a sour-looking Irina arrives with a few MPs and a handcuffed Dame Wayland in tow, “Well? What are you waiting for?”

“Hector! Oh, my Hector, you came for me!” Dame Wayland's eyes light up, “Hector!”

“Liza!” He roars happily.

“Hector!”

“Liza!”

“Hector!”

“Liza!”

“Heeeeector!”

“Liza~”

“Oh Hector~” Dame Wayland tugs herself away from the restraining grip Irina has on her forearm and runs over to him. They embrace, him picking her up by the waist, lifting her into the air, and spinning in a circle, both of them laughing. At last, she settles down, “But what of Duchess Carnegie?”

Sir Van Damme lowers his head in faint embarassment, “Alas, I have failed. My mission was foiled by Sir Wedge and the Jovian prince. Had their scheme not transpired, my worthies and I would have faced only scattered opposition and retaking you both would have been easily. Thankfully, your mistress generously forgave me and bid me take you and depart.”

“I wish people would stop calling me a prince.” Garret remarks, “Our system doesn't work that way and it's a little insulting to say it does.”

“The Jovian known formerly as a prince.” Hector corrects himself, prompting Garret to cover his own visor with one hand and sigh in despair.

You spot Irina, still scowling, shooting you a sideways glance. You take off your helmet, hand it to Simon, and give her a big, cheerful grin, “Irina!” You hold your arms out, hoping she'll get in the spirit.

Her scowl deepens.

“Irina!” You hold them out again, your smile unflagging.

Her lips quiver, then she snorts and reaches up to caress your cheek, “How can I stay angry at this face?” She kisses your cheek. Mission accomplished.

Garret grumbles, crossing his arms, as two of Hector's braves cut Marilyn loose, one getting his head rattled as she slaps him across the visor.

“That's for staring at my butt the whole way up here, pervert.” She sticks her tongue out and saunters over to your group, rubbing her arms to restore circulation in them.

“I'm glad you're alright.” Garret tells her, “The only reason I was quiet on the way here was because Amos was talking with the guys that grabbed you.”

“I know.” She says with a smile, her ears tilting forward slightly.

“I wanted to charge off and rescue you, but that wouldn't have been very smart, this gun causes a lot of collateral damage.” He pats the stock of his M-2.

“I know.” Her tail swishes behind her, a soft purring sound behind her voice.

>>895057
Well, turns are about 10 seconds each. One action you can take is aim, which gives you a plus one to hit the target you are aiming at. If he starts to monologue, start taking aim actions until he reaches the peak. Then spend all our luck to give him enough needles to sleep for a day. Then we can do the standard stuff, like interrogation, dealing with traitors, or even trussing him up and sending him to Fairchild.

You and Hector look each other in the eye. You speak first, “What matters more, a traitor's life, or the lives of the natives who helped you get your wife back?” You notice the roving squads of maids seem to have been brought to heel, a dozen or so peeking out from behind Hector's own troops.

He looks at them too, then sighs, “You drive a hard bargain. I'm sure that man will be angry about this, but it was a young woman. I think her name was Marcia. No, was it Marsha? Ah, no, now I remember, it was...”

“Martha. Martha Blume.” Irina's voice is steely.

Hector nods, “That was her name, Martha.”

You look at the door to the bridge, “How are we doing this?”

Hector chuckles, “Allow me, consider it a service.” He taps the buzzer on the door, “Sir Hector Van Damme. Open up, kittens.”

The door opens, and he's greeted with a chorus of enthusiastic mews as he and his braves march inside in lockstep. Meanwhile, Irina removes Wayland's cuffs, her movements mechanical and precisely deliberate. Her face is as blank as a mask after the recent revelation. The mewing turns to wailing as, moments later, the power-armored troops return, each carrying at least one Qu'liri woman over their shoulders, and several holding two. Hector himself has the fourears tucked under his arm like a farmer carrying a small pig, her legs thrashing as she tries to hit him with her cane, “Stop! Stop! This is betrayal! How can you do this, Sir Hector!? Are you not our ally? Were we not embarking on a glorious revolution together?” Seen like this, she almost seems pathetic.

“We lost, Palmyra.” He says, less sadly than would perhaps have been appropriate, “The Blue Knight beat us in the end, now my only concern is saving and protecting my allies.”

“But we haven't painted this ship with the blood of normies yet!” She howls, kicking all the harder.

He shifts his grip to compensate, “What a shame.” He doesn't sound sorry at all,

“Are you abandoning the Duchess? You coward! You callow boy! Give me back my pistol, I'll rescue her myself!” She really is on the verge of tears.

“She herself ordered us to depart.” Hector turns towards you, “Sir Wedge, we put the ship on autopilot, it should land shortly. Congratulations on your heroic victory.” He passes by, giving you a clear view of the room inside, of the freed bridge crew rubbing circulation back into their limbs and Captain Clearwater sighing regretfully after the maids. Your eyes meet Martha's, and the hate in them gives way to terror as she realizes that you know.

You look at Irina. Irina looks at you. Without asking, she grabs the telescoping shock baton off your belt.

“No...no...no Irina, please, no!” Martha has never struck you as a brave person. She shrinks back from Irina's approaching shadow, one hand held out as if trying to ward her off.

“You put this entire ship in danger.” Irina's voice is clinical, rigidly controlled.

“I...I did it for you! Irina, it was all for you, all of it!” Martha's voice shakes, “I swear! I didn't want to see your work go unappreciated again! It wasn't fair what Bahamutcorp did to you and...and I couldn't have them just abandon you on this filthy backwater!”

Irina flicks her wrist, extending the baton, “You put all of us in danger. You sold us all out.”

Martha sobs, her back hitting the monitor as she tries to scuttle backwards away from the approaching scientist, “It's all the stupid mandrake's fault for not growing! You were getting so angry and so sad because it wasn't responding and then...and so...” She shudders, “I only contacted the Paladin so you could get a better sample! I-I thought if you had a mature one...I thought if you had a mature one, you wouldn't need it to grow! I just...I was just so tired of seeing you unappreciated! You're a genius, a real one, but nobody ever recognized it but me!”

“That's classified information, Martha.” Irina turns on the shock baton, with a crackling hiss of electricity. The Captain stands up, starting to move between the two women.

Martha shrieks, “I-I was blackmailed this time! The four-eared one said if I didn't help her she'd tell the Captain what I did.” She looks at you with a mixture of terror and rage, “Damn you! Damn you! If YOU hadn't come here, it would never have started growing! The mandrake only responded after you seduced her for your own ends, you piece of filth! I know you're behind this, you just want me out of the way!”

The Captain looks down at Martha with a sorrowful expression, sighs, and straightens his collar, “I shouldn't see where this is going. Pardon me, I need to use the lavatory.” He nods to Irina and walks off the bridge, gesturing for the rest of the bridge crew to follow him.

Martha smiles, with almost a kind of mad hope, the delusional calmness beyond fear, in her eyes, “I just wanted you to need me, the way I need you.”

"I'm sorry, Martha." Irina says calmly.

"I-Irina please, it's okay. You don't have to apologize. Now, now we can finally be together! You understand all the pain and fear I went through for you!" Tears run down Martha's cheeks.

"I should have had you arrested as soon as I caught you poking around in my room. You would have been punished and reassigned, but it wouldn't have ended up like this." A thin ribbon of regret in Irina's voice swells into a thick tint of sorrow, "I am so, so sorry. In every way, I truly have been an awful friend to you." She smiles, so sadly it breaks your heart.

"Irina..." Martha murmurs through her sobs.

Irina places the tip of the baton against Martha's breastbone, the dark-haired woman twitching and jerking spastically with a muffled squeal of pain before she falls limp to the floor. Irina deactivates the baton, and tosses it to the floor, speaking in a quiet, lifeless voice, "Take her away, lock her up next to the Paladin. I don't ever want to see her again." She addresses the MPs without looking at them, walking past like a zombie. She grabs your arm, and looks up at you, wordlessly pleading for you to follow her. So you do. The two of you walk down the corridor away from the bridge, leaving the others behind to get the female crew members' rooms unlocked, land the ship, and ferry the unconscious Qu'liri prisoners from the brig and the cargo bay off with Hector and his people. You walk until nobody else is around, and then Irina turns towards you, her eyes shining with tears. You put your arms around her, and she collapses into them, sobbing.

One of the head scientists it seems, but likely not him. Not even sure if he's alive. Either way, this is sort of the worse situation to do that. Bahamut corp is holding the majority of Jupiter's mech production lines. Messing with them will endanger a ton of lives along with our own and Irina's.
This is a case where we are a Soldier who must do what he is told after seeing through a crack in pandora's box. How ironic, that the one who brings the best out of such a possible thing is a Farmboy.

>>895354
Why would we want to fight them? Bio reactors would remove the one tech advantage Avalon has on the SSL. sure the cultivation and production might fuck over the locals but fuck'em we got better things to do

>>895321
It seems to like Amos... And thats why he will get his own Paladin...
But what if she is possessive about him? What happens when the mech learns how to comunicate?
Pray that it doesn't get to this point.

Oh, and the Elder One is a Mandrake that grew out of control... If he got as far as that fungus who is the biggest living being on earth... Then it is too large to be killed with anything less lethal than a TEMINATUS or spore bombing.

>>895382
Then we are on agreement there. Either way, Irina deserves our comfort and support. This is a trying time for her.

You hold her as she cries. It feels like a long time, but it probably isn't more than a few minutes of intense, racking sobs before she recovers herself and straightens up, “I'm a mess.” She mumbles.

“You're still beautiful when you cry, you know.” You inform her, in the way men inform women of things when they're trying to support them, even when they know it isn't helping.

She sniffles noncommittally.

“About this mandrake thing, it's something I won't ask about. Like I promised, I won't poke my nose where it doesn't belong. As far as I'm concerned, she was just ranting.” Although you are wildly, wildly curious.

Much to your surprise, she shakes her head, and takes you by the hand, “Let's go, they should have the room locks fixed by now. It's time I showed you, anyway, it won't be a secret for very much longer.” She takes you to the room that used to be hers and now is shared by both of you. It's not a long walk, she's got enough clout to have her suite of rooms in a coveted location without much of a trek to the lift. Once there, she goes to the locked door that you've never seen inside, and opens her left eye wide for the retinal scanner. The scanner beeps approvingly, and a small section of wall moves aside to reveal a compact keyboard. She types in a complex, overly long password, and the door slides aside with a hiss.

It's bright inside. Bright lights set in the middle of rank after rank of rotary hydroponic arrays sting your eyes, and you breathe in a faintly minty, pungent scent. The room is huge, it looks like Irina decided to just use one room of her rather large suite and convert the rest into a hydroponic garden. You recognize the shape of the leaves, and look skeptically at Irina, “Cannabis?”

She looks mildly ashamed, “Don't tell anyone. Marilyn and I started this together to make some extra money. I grow it, she sells it.”

You cross your arms, “You're selling drugs to the locals.” It isn't a question.

She sputters, “And some of the crew! Look, Amos, it's not as if it's illegal.”

“Are you paying the appropriate tax on it?” You inquire.

[Continued]

Her gaze shifts away from yours, “Don't worry about that.” She frowns, “Look, growing up, I was never showered with praise like my sister was. She had her voice and her looks and her glamour to make her money. I was just plain Irina, Rosita's little sister, and if I wanted to make my way in the world I had to do it the hard way. I was always good with plants and took care of the family garden, it wasn't hard to buy some seeds and start selling unlicensed marijuana to the local kids, even for a fourteen-year-old girl. I got beaten up and robbed a few times, but that's life on some of the more densely populated colonies. Don't judge me, this isn't what I brought you here for anyway.” She grabs your arm and leads you deeper into her private greenhouse. Emerald light swims around you as she leads you all the way to the back, where numerous sunlamps create a column of golden illumination around...something honestly rather difficult for you to describe.

At first glance, it looks like a vine floating in a glass tank, but on a second glance you can tell that it's clearly the root structure of some plant. It's white and rubbery, with several main strands descending from a tiny tuft of bluish-green leaves sticking out through a hole at the top of the tank, each of the strands sprouting many smaller hairs. All in all, the root structure is about as large as you are, and creepily...it has a shape that looks almost like a twisted caricature of a bipedal human form. Just looking at it makes you uneasy somehow.

Irina speaks softly, “That, Amos, is a mandrake. THE mandrake, really, the first one whose growth we've had the chance to study.”

“I still don't get it.” You say slowly, with the impending sense that something here is very, very sinister and you're just not grasping it.

[Continued]

She sighs and tucks an errant lock of her hair behind her ear, “The first time we managed to wound a Paladin, it was with a superweapon codenamed Megabass, the particulars of which I'm not technically supposed to talk about even if it's not a perfect secret. The Paladins Gerard and Anseis ambushed a convoy the Megabass was escorting, and it retaliated along with its escort mecha. The Anseis killed a Lieutenant using an early iteration of the plasma sabers from project Skywalker, stole his weapon, and managed to escape safely. The Gerard lost an arm and a leg before it realized it was outmatched on sheer firepower and retreated.”

“Why did I never hear about this?” You ask, frowning.

“Because discussing the Megabass in the official PR is verboten, the brass believes it would make the public nervous. Besides, it wasn't a real victory, people on our side died and both Paladins successfully evaded capture. Anyway, the debris from the Gerard was brought on board almost immediately, were dissected, and that was when a remarkable discovery was made.” She looks up at the mandrake, floating in its tank, “The Paladins are alive.” She touches the glass, “At least, their core control system and power source is. What you're seeing here is essentially a larval Paladin. Now, as powerful as they are, we've come to the conclusion that they're a pale, wan shadow of the Green Men's bio-armor themselves, on their own they would be completely useless...but hooked into a system modified from our own HMIS, and effectively cyborgized with armor and support structures protecting it, and proper weapons given to it, it's still quite lethal. You scratched the Berenger's heart with that missile, Amos, and it's only just now properly healing the damage.” She taps on the glass with her fingertips, “Miraculously, some of the Gerard's mandrake was still alive, the survivors of the ambush took the debris onto the ship immediately, like I said. A bud was found on it that was surgically extracted and preserved. It was assigned as a project to me, and ever since, I've been trying to get it to grow.” She has a ghostly smile on her face, the mandrake reflected in her eyes, “You know, when you arrived, it wasn't any bigger than my smallest finger. Look at it now. Soon, this room won't be able to hold it anymore. Do you want to know the real reason we requisitioned that hotel, Amos? Because it receives more sunlight than anywhere else in town, and because its tower structure can be converted into a greenhouse for the mandrake. It's the same reason why the brass went through the trouble of sending all of those valuable scientists and technicians here despite the ongoing war. Eventually, this will be Simon's mech, the Squilla. A weapon to surpass the Paladins and the Black Ogre alike.”

>>895757

The most important thing is Amos' emotional response to the fact that this is going to be Simon's mech. It is, after all, a homemade Paladin.

>>895780
In terms of Simon, this is a case of being there for our buddy and making sure he comes out of this alive, happy, and stable. He is one of our best buddies. We wouldn't abandon him, even if he is piloting a Jovian brand Paladin. Hell, we'd help him even more. It's why we are the all rounder of the group.

>>895780
Hmmm, awe, and a little fear. Simon is going to fucking wreck shit, it's going to be amazing, and a little insane. We'll need to make sure there's a lot of safety measures. Also, Irina, baby, you're a super man-genius.

It's grown since we got here. What changed? Is it reacting to something? Emotional differences, maybe?

"This is amazing." You say the first thing that pops into your head, "Really, really amazing...and kind of terrifying. Why Simon?"

She shrugs, "Someone higher up the Bahamutcorp food chain picked him as their guinea pig. I can make a few guesses as to who, but not with certainty."

"Because he has friends who can bail him out if something goes wrong." You give her a brave smile to hide your uneasiness, "You really are a genius."

"And you really know how to flatter me." She smiles, still a bit awkwardly.

"Can it hear us? Is it alive?" You tap on the glass.

Irina grabs your wrist before you can do it again, although since you're still in power armor that's mostly a symbolic gesture, "I don't know, and if I don't know, nobody knows." She glowers, "Except for that towheaded bitch in the brig, and she's not talking. The Captain would never let me torture her or anything, naturally, and just asking her questions just gets me a lot of mysterious smiles, cryptic pablum, and smug silences."

"Do you think you could do something with the mandrake in the Berenger?" You put your arm around her, and for a moment your heart stops as you see the tiny hairs on the mandrake stirring before you realize that the water recirculator is active and creating a mild current.

"Maybe." She says, sounding doubtful, "We can surmise a few things from what we've learned so far. First, the pilots themselves are special. They seem to have been genetically modified, any impurities fixed, their lifespans extended, and their bodies honed to peak human condition. If there's anything special about them beyond that, I don't know. We also know they bond with their mecha, so there's the chance that the Berenger's mandrake would view another pilot as an intruder." She wrinkles her nose and glances away, "To be honest, I tried messing around with the Berenger and couldn't even get it to turn on. It hasn't reactivated since it was shot down. That makes it a little difficult to give you a real answer, doesn't it?"

"I'm learning a lot." You smile at her, "No matter what happens, I support you. Sure, this makes me a little nervous, but if it can save lives and win the war, I'll reserve judgment for now." You wink, "Besides, we Wedges have always had green thumbs, grandpa, dad, and I used to grow some prize-winning pumpkins back on the farm. I bet just having me around is the reason it's gotten so big."

Irina gives you the smile you've come to love. The almost lazily happy one she gets when she's being artistic, you can practically see the blueprints for new designs and systems flickering in her eyes. Love is a powerful muse, "Perhaps you've just watered the dried, cracked soil of my soul, and this baby mech is responding to it? I'm going to create masterpieces, Amos. I'm going to shape the face of the future, and it's all thanks to you. None of it would be possible without you."

Hey Wong, I had an odd thought. Are there any factions that do mass-produced Ace units?

I mean kinda like a level below SOUL but above a Pumpkinseed Ace Squad.
A squad of Ace Level Pilots that use slightly customized Mechs that cost above 140 CP but below 200 CP. Cause I can see those being super effective.

Not worth it. Because mook soldiers will barely survive longer than they were in MP mechs. And for the cost 2 officer mechs, you can build 2.8 mook mech. And in terms of firepower, quantity has a quality of its own.

You mean... Chevaliers?
http://pastebin.com/ctbJhre1
Brazilia agrees that they can do some scary damage, but don't believe that they can you can win just mass producing them.
but you know, there is many planets out there, and for this being able to happen it could be because of a shortage of pilots that would make creating a lot of mechs useless because there would be no one to pilot in a worthwhile manner(You can't throw twelve years old into a cockpit and expects that everyone of them will be ace level, most will get killed even before managing to kill a smaller mech.), so they would focus their resources on the pilots they already have, meaning more powerful mechs.
It would probaly mean Pumpkinseeds II level mechs for rookie use and Chevalier/Master Harpy for officer use, scary in a duel, not so much in a open battle when they get outnumbered.

This could also be a good background form a pilot, someone that got a new mook mech from there... And is a misterious stranger
,but more talkative than Not!Hunk obviously.
It would also be ominous to see that there is someone out there having these level of mechs as just mooks.

>>896829
For the longest time, I figured a set of Cardinal pilots would be the equivilent to hillbilly catholic black tri-stars from Luna. The machine is a bit scary still though. Would give a few machines issues with it's stun sheleighleigh.

Also:

>Need info on Not!Hunk, if there is something that the administration could know about him, it should be written on his "preferred pilot" info.(Also, you should decide from which system he came from... Give it a name and a little description on what it had of different before being spored to death, be fun, but do not go too crazy or Wong won't accept it... It's also pretty possible that Hunk is somekind of genemoded people, but again, do not go too crazy with this, Animal-people is okay if there is any advantage of being that, albino-supersoldier is too far.)
>Need info on Maxwell Not!Doan, and please check if everything is okay with the Dutchman stats, i fear that i may be using and older pastebin or something.

>>897044
He was here some time ago in the last thread, and didn't answer to any of my posts, and made like 3, and a fourth one joking about being ignored by senpai.
I tend to assume to worst...

also, did you read the book, what did it say about the missiles?
>>897001
there is anything i can put on his info? What did he wrote in his form to the tourney? Age? Place of birth? telefone for contact?
>>896321
alredy updated it!^^

>>897059
Seems like he just showed up and pointed at the form until people got the message.

>>897059
>>897063

Illegible scribbles and the name of his mech very clearly printed in block letters. He's on the Rhinehawk, so it's not as if he's hard to find. A lot of the applicants probably openly list their age, real name, place of birth, and contact information, but the Iron Kestrels are pirates and not everyone who's already a member of the fleet is comfortable sharing that. For example, Miles Longshadow is pretty clearly a made-up name and she doesn't talk at all about her past.

>>897059

Oh, right, the missiles. Defense wins on a tie, and I'm 99% sure that crits work like this.

I've got a tenpack of rockets and launch them all, beating the target's roll by a whopping 12, let's say 30 versus 18. That would be three megacrits (+12, +11, +10), five regular crits (+9, +8, +7, +6, +5), two regular hits (+4,+3). You would roll a total of eight times on the crit tables and twice on the normal location tables.

>>896917
If my computer would stop being a pain for a hour I'll have it out. For Maxwell C. Hammer(or a more fitting name if Wong has one), I'll go with the whole retired Navy pilot who runs a orphanage on one of the colonies Roarke is getting. Will probably be given his Mech to show off it's potential to the Kestrels by some engineers and scientists with a grudge. Up to Wong there.

>>897080
Interesting.
>>897090
You should roll for locations for the megacrits and crits too, no? The book even goes out of the way to say that the servo hitten by a megacrit takes the damage ignoring armor, and then you roll in the crits tables.
Per example: If i get a megacrit with a missile, roll 1(Head) and then 2 on the cinematic damage table(Blunt it), the head would take full damage ignoing armor and the torso would take half the damaged of the missile(caused by sharpnel or inner systems exploding too, i guess...), no?
>>897091
I remember you writing about this, thats why i asked.

>>897134
I suspect that specific sentence is worded poorly. It is previously stated that, on a crit or a megacrit, you choose which table you roll on - the standard Random Hit Chart, Special Hit Locations or Cinematic Hit Locations. So I would consider it likely that rolling "on the Random Hit Charts as normal" is intended to refer to the Hit Charts and Special Damage Tables as a whole.

This would be "normal" for a crit; otherwise, Mega-crits would be situationally worse than crits for being unable to choose which table to roll on.

>>897134
Is cool and yes, the Dutchman is being worked on. It just adds the Guard loadout and makes the grenades for standard actual grenades. Allowed me to put in a little extra grenade there and lowered the cost a it for Standard too. http://pastebin.com/w5yRgXe4

>>897174
Yeah, it makes sense, and also says that whatever you roll in the dramatic damage chart the related servo to this system gets half damage...Hmmm Good to know.

Also, how does parrying with a weapon work? And damage to weapons? Do they receive damaged the same way as shields, or the same way as a servo?

>>897225
Same as shields but parrying is melee only. There is also a smaller defense arc for melee. While a shield could defend the other side panels of the hex aside from the back, melee parry can only really defend the front 3 sides of the hex. Can't block blasts, range, or the like. Not sure if it can block thrown weapons either.

>>897231
Do they lose they ability to cause damage bit by bit? Or isit like Fragile weapons who in reality have 1K but can cause many more damage than it?

>>897254
I would say like Fragile in this case. No mention of the weapon doing less damage or becoming lighter due to less kills.

New Loadout for the Valkyrie: http://pastebin.com/LkDJjdpF
I didn't expect such Heavy AP swords out of the competition, so I shifted to a heavy torso mounted Shield, and shifted the thruster design around a little to give me the ability to mount a Logic Processor to make give me a +2 bonus to all int rolls, including those made to use the signature shadow imager.

>>896829
I think that I understand what the problem is. If I could ask you a favor, would you screen cap a properly formatted mech from the rogue's gallery? I've been posting from mobile devices due to my work schedule, and all that stuff tends to get lost in translation from computer to tablet.

>>897643
Also, Design and Decor is almost comically overpowered when mounted on the Knuckle Kaiser. +3 to intimidation attempts and Seduction rolls while inside your mech for 2 CP? Yes please.

>>897757
Cool doesn't get the respect it deserves compared to other stats when it comes to Mech combat. It can also be used in a few creative ways. The Walkures fancy color frame to the Dutchman more intimidating, but refined look thanks to constant small detail all over the body. A bunch of small touches that bring out the best look to the Dutchman.

Are there any other pilots with amazing reputations from the War? Merrow, Beck, Bluegill Joe are Legendary, but are there others of lesser reputation? The Ramba Rals to the Red Comets.

>>897627
HAHAHAHAHAHA I already have thought of the same thing!
This is why i want to fight you in the finals XD
>>897697
I could try, but i'm kind of occupied right now.

Considering that the Tournament is being held alongside the wedding, which contestants would bring Wedding gifts?

>>898022
At this point, our mechs are likely the only wedding gifts they need. That and the blood sport.
>>897978
Eh, could do the first fight as well to get the fires pumping in everyone.

>>897643
Alright, looking at it you are forgetting to put in the hands for the costs, space efficiency for your weapons and shield, and a few other things. Before I even calculated the modifier it was in the 137 range. Not sure if weight inefficiency is ok either.

>>899465
You are clearly messed up. That's all in there.

>>899610
Don't think I am. When you did the servos, the total costs for them were low compared to other medium strikers with similar armor. By 4 CP and 1 ton. That was by the initial part. Your weapons and armor are also missing their space efficiency by what I read since you have the weapons, buy no changes. Quick doubles a weapons cost and a 8 kill beam weapon is 8 CP. Then there is the 21 CP active shield which should have 10.5 spaces, but no mention of space efficiency.

>>899654
>Quick doubles a weapons cost and a 8 kill beam weapon is 8 CP.
And heavy strikers have a bonus of +1 to their melee attacks. Its a 7 kill weapon costing 14 cp, with 2 cp of space efficiency to make it 10 spaces. Similar story for the shield. You are simply misreading the stat block.

>>899784
Still does not answer the hand issue and not including the Space Efficiency or the original weapon kills can make things hard to tell. Incidentally, your active shield is too big. You can hold a shield a class above the servo attached to it, but not as high as yours. You would have a 9 at most, not a 12. Look under class in the advance manual.

>>901476
Actually, it raises a question; How will the tournament brackets be designed? Putting the one hit killers amongst the grunts and non melee specialists seems like it'd make the fights rather uninteresting due to the nature of their combat. Should they be put in a heavy weight bracket while the grunts duke it out?

>>901704
We could do an elimination round where all the jobbers are gotten rid of and then draw lots for the tourney bracket

>>901740
Well, the elimination round was a given considering it would be more than the machines we submitted, but Random doesn't really work for this. We have a few insanely dangerous, but completely situational machines that are practically designed for arena and 1 on 1 combat only. Then we have the all rounders, the grunts and the like who came to get their name known and put into mass production. When you do it randomly, it's more likely those super specialists will end up with the all rounders so we don't even get a chance to see what they can do before getting one shotted.

No... It costs 13.6CP, Spaces 6.

>Torso Mounted "Wings of Salvation" active shield system: DA -2, SP 9, 15 CP, 3 Spaces, 4.5 tons.
No... it should occupy 3.75 spaces, which you could round to 4, not 3, but the rest seems ok.

Not all. There is times where there are brackets for particular groups or styles before the finals. Sure the paths meet at the end, but they keep certain groups separated because unless you ARE that good, it becomes impossible to counter. So it's less entertainment and more of the same.
>>901772
I think the Valkyrie is pretty much your antithesis BR. Even with your missiles, the active shield and shadow images are going to make it impossible for you to land a hit that can damage it.

That's how putting all the harpies in the same category will end.

>>901818
Well, in their case they would be in the specialist category or might not even survive the elimination round. Besides, that scenario IS pretty funny in of itself.

>>901788
>I think the Valkyrie is pretty much your antithesis BR. Even with your missiles, the active shield and shadow images are going to make it impossible for you to land a hit that can damage it.
Yeah, the Valkyrie has a layered defense that makes it damn hard to kill. First, it has 5 smoke missiles that can screen its approach against ranged Mecha, and potentially allow it to "refresh" its shadows depending on how Wong rules. Second, it has the Skill of its pilot. Third, it has the Shadow Imager itself, which Kathrine will have a +4 advantage to tricking opposing pilots. Fourth, it has the Active Shield, backed by heavy armor to cut down on bleed-through damage.

>>902022
Pretty much. The machine is pretty much an anti thesis to anything that isn't Blast and One hit one kill. The weapon is strong enough to wreck a mech in two blows and it has quick. The shield and armor combo makes it pretty hard to kill for the one hit that gets through because the other two have a chance to be blocked by those shadow images. Anything not a specialist would be unable to beat it.

>>902101
Its ranged weaponry is really limited though. A transforming mecha might be able to kite it.
But yeah, its designed to survive at least one full attack melee routine by virtually any mecha in its weight class, and counter with crippling damage next round.

>>902133
Even a flight type would have issue since it requires build up and comes with big MV penalties. This is part of the reason why keeping the specialist in a bracket til the finals would be good. They are designed for this sort of thing and would provide actual entertainment and fights that are more than one rounds. Mind you, while it is a good machine, it is not one I can see being used in groups.

>>902152
>Mind you, while it is a good machine, it is not one I can see being used in groups.
I'd probably give it a more standard weapons loadout in a mass produced version. Lighten its shield a bit, Shift to a lighter EMW and a ranged option.

>>902179
Not exactly what I meant. Like I said, your machine is weak to Blast(and probably burst/spread weapons too). Get a bunch close and have some other group with some basic blast grenades and you lose your imager and have good chances of losing sensors, your mounted shields, or your weapons. In a solo or near solo situation it would be great because each enemy can fight you one at a time, but this is the sort of machine that would have trouble with weapons designed to hit groups.

>>902133
Hmm... Idk how shadow images work, but i assume that everytime you got hit you roll for a image getting hit instead, right?
If i'm remembering rosita's fight well, wong ruled that the images dissapeared after getting hit, so idk if you can recover them after a cloud of smoke....

In fact, a fight between it and the Walkure would really be a feast for the eyes of odin, normally, combats with the walkure tend to be short because of its missiles or punch strategy...
But i guess that the missiles from her "sister" would make Akai to be carefull and skit it with her higher MA, but if she doesn't get down in the missile spam or a lucky "TIRO FINALE" they are coming to blows in deadly melee... Thats is also probably going to be opened by dropkick.

I can already imagine all the norse-pagans of auditorium making a big "feast of the gods" in the middle of the audience for this fight "PRAISING!" ever higher everytime they land a hit in each other...

Also, we could do a one shot about it, with everyone making a improvised pilot and choosing a harpy weapon outfit... It would be bizzarely funny, would let us explore a bit the storm dragons(who get little attention since the greenskulls arc) and wouldn't take even a whole thread probably...

>Also, i cannot imagine the sort of bizzare arguments you guys would come up to convince each other to decloak...

>>902225
I think it wouldn't be as glorious as you think it would be. MA does not come into affect when trying to hit the real image and missiles in the volley all hit the shield if it parries. You'd weaken the shield by a lot, but no real damage. And once it's melee, she's got you.

>>902214
>>902225
While it may make logical sense, and very easily be houseruled so, by default, Shadows do not mechanically take up any space on the battlefield, instead being a property of the mech which deploys them (Balloon-type Shadows aside).

How they mechanically work is that, when a mech with Shadows deployed (for free on its own turn or in place of a Parry) is successfully hit, it and its attacker must make an additional contested roll (of 1d10+INT+other skills and miscellaneous modifiers).

If the attacker's roll is higher, the attacker choose to land the hit on either a single deployed Shadow (thus rendering it ineffective against that attacker only) or the actual defending mech (resolving damage as normal). If the rolls are equal, or the defender's roll is higher, no hit is scored.

There is no mention of Shadows being separately-targettable units of their own.

Yes, Shadow Imagers are kind of bullshit.

>>902288
Not exactly. It is true they do not take up spaces, but they are not solid shields either. When it comes to AOEs, they would have no real defense since, like you said, they are all in one space. If a blast or a ton of shrapnel head into that hex, you will get hit by it if you can't dodge or block and because of their nature, they act would show where the real one is. Wong did mention that it is one of the few ways to counter the Archen and it also makes sense logically. After all, how can a blast decide which is which when it hits all things in the radius equally? But yes, Shadow Imagers are pretty rediculous and one of the few modifiers that remain effective no matter the CP.

>>902214
>Get a bunch close and have some other group with some basic blast grenades
Blast weapons are pretty rare in this setting. I wouldn't count it out entirely.

>>902225
>If i'm remembering rosita's fight well, wong ruled that the images dissapeared after getting hit, so idk if you can recover them after a cloud of smoke....
Here is the relevant blurb from the fight:
>Despite the long gouge, you jump her in a blur of motion, your weapons hissing. You strike two of the Archens clearly, and as your beam sabers pass through your ASP tags those images with a translucent filter to remind you that they're holograms. At least two of them will no longer be distractions.
In theory, breaking line of sight should allow the images to "refresh" but again, Wong can rule otherwise

>>902273
Each turns would take 10 seconds, so all the skitting would let me play my music for a longer time... what is good.
Do the shield really blocks everything? It looks to me more that they block the first missile on a spam, as they are different "Hits", but i could open with 「TIRO FINALE」let the shield get it, and then missile spam her... And then it becomes a matter of luck as depending on how many hit and were they hit... it could mean the end of the fight for either of us.
There is still a crazy chance that the Walkure could dodge one turn of melee attacks (Or at least dodge the first one, get the second on the torso and parry the other two with different arms), but that depends on the dice.

>>902331
This is true, and can very understandably be houseruled so. As with many items in the ATM, Shadow Imagers don't quite make logical sense.

Why does a successful hit render the Shadow ineffective for only the attacker rather than everyone in the area?

Why are Shadows not explicitly stated to be targettable?

The default rules often require tweaking (or straight-out banning) during actual play, but I figured that, in the absence of an official houserule, we may as well be aware of them.

>>902376
Actually, since you lack a backup sensor, I would almost certainly go straight for your head, which I can one hit kill.

>>902409
Makes sense, isn't it a little metagaming? But it doesn't matter much as taking a head normally implyes -2MV on the now headless mech, which gives you a good reason to do it.
You would stil have to it, though, and our roll difference is only 1 point, so i could possible escape a hit or two from you.

>>902409
a) Your pilot wouldn't actually know that, since your machine doesn't have a Target Analyzer, and therefore you should not make decisions based on OOC knowledge of the internal layout of his machine.

b) His Main Sensors don't seem to actually be mounted in his head.

>>902376
Thats not exactly true. When you parry a action you parry the entire action. So if I have a burst weapon, managed to get three hits due to dodge difference but you block it, your shield gets 3 hits and lose 3 SP. Same applies to missiles. The fact she has shadow imagers means that your first hit might not be aimed at her so she would still have her active shield.

>>902448
>a) Your pilot wouldn't actually know that, since your machine doesn't have a Target Analyzer, and therefore you should not make decisions based on OOC knowledge of the internal layout of his machine.
Going for the sensors or weapons is a pretty standard tactic for my machine, since it can 1 shot limbs but not the torso if they are either mounting 5 or more armor or a frame heavier than a Medium Striker.
>b) His Main Sensors don't seem to actually be mounted in his head.
Fair point. In that case though he takes a -2 to awareness rolls, such as those needed to see through smoke or determine which are shadows.

Hard, but possible if i get a few aiming bonuses.

>>902448
UWAAAAAAAAAAAA SENPAI! PLEASE STOP REVEALING MY TRUMP CARDS TO NEE-SAAAN! YOU BAKA!>.<

It would make sense that she would aim for the head uguuuuuuuu~ as losing the main sensors cause -2 in all actions and she know it nyan...

>>902503
You would have to win 5 rolls, two of which are unrelated to aiming to hit her and she needs two hits to destroy your machine. It is a very big gap and even then hitting doesn't mean all the missiles hit. If the margin was small only a few number of them would hit.

>>902498
>>902503
Whoops.

Well, acting in-character compels him now to make attacks against your head regardless of whether you have sensors in them.


Also, I hate to bring this up at this point, but isn't the penalty to not having Sensors in your Head -2 to Awareness, not all rolls? Yes, not having Sensors period gives a -4 penalties to all combat actions, but that penalty doesn't apply so long as you have Backup Sensors.

>>902344
Blast is rare due to the fact that it's a situational weapon. It's a one shot sort of thing and compared to beam weapons with infinite ammo and blast doesn't do high damage. But when it becomes a situation where they become viable, they'd be a lot more common. Same with missiles and scatter bombs. When startegies change, certain things become more useful.
>>902532
Been the case for a while and it makes some sense since back-up sensors aren't exactly fancy things.

>>902532
>Well, acting in-character compels him now to make attacks against your head regardless of whether you have sensors in them.
I could also go after the torso mounted weapons. It would probably depend on the situation.

>>902564
I believe backup sensors' intended penalty is that they're shitty and have basically no range, meaning you can't use beam or projectile weapons effectively.

It's only something that just struck me as out of place.

>>902516
I know i'm pretty screwed, mainly because of the shadow imagers and the awareness penalty, but i can't really give up even if this is a suicide fight, this wouldn't be Roarke ways, this isn't Oda's way and WILL NOT BE AKAI INAZUMA'S WAY OF FIGHTING!
>*LATIN CHORUS ON THE BACKGROUND*
Also, isn't backup sensors penalty that you would receive -2 in all rolls? And that any sensor mounted on torso gains-2 on awareness?

So, what religion does we follow. the jovians follow the roman pantheon and unless it was changed then the gods are a bunch of dick's. personally i think it would be cool to follow the norse god's, if only for the fact that not all the god are dick's, unlike in the rome/greek pantheon were only pluto/hades is the only god not to rape some one.

>>902694
Well, I would like to see more interesting fights instead of one siders, so there may be a way to do it. Have the elimination rounds serve as a sort of grand melee with the machines going at it. High destruction points will guarantee you, but those who are pretty high in term of kills will be placed with others that placed relatively high.
So in terms of power and nature, things like Huscarl and Valkyrie would have a high death ratio while machines like the Dutchman, Walkure, Myrm, and Libra would be lower. Hell, it could even lead to team ups so the grunts work together to secure their spots.

>>903469
I assumed that there would be qualifying rounds that the PC machines basically autopass, with lots of customized bluegills and such getting offed.

>>903577
Pretty much the same thing really. More of a spectacle this way as well. Either way, part of the arena aside from getting mechs and good aces is entertainment, so spectacle is important. Got to show up Lysa and Fairchild at every corner!

>>903601
We should still vet and hire the grunts since we have plenty of ships we need to fill now

>>903661
Well yeah. Thats a given. This event is a great way to draw in crew members and every bluegill and harpy is another harpy plus. Morgans and Warmouths are great filler, and crew is good in general.

Please, i know you're laughing already, but check these dubs:
In their most primal form... Gods are just this, memes, and get attention or credibility as more people starts believing them as serious... In the midst of so many of non-compatible forms of religion and being exposed to old terran culture about "home-dweller sages" that purify every concept to their most essencial forms and categorize every characters as faces and fusions of "divine" aspects of storytelling that figures in life itself(as art is an imitation of life)... Whats more to believe?

>>903373
I think Roarke is sorta meh on religion. Which is understandable considering his roots. He might play lip service to the various gods, but he's most definetly not religious in of himself.

>>903469

>>904454
And because I'm bored and was watching SRW vids on youtube, here is the mech I based the Libra and Alexander off of.

>>904454
Only if you go for a big blast. A x3 is not that bad for missiles and if you make them a throwing weapon, their price is halved. Wouldn't want to go too far with Blast weapons anyways since targetting hexes are DC challenges.

Depends on the situation honestly. Sometimes it would be better to hit the head, sometimes it is not. Same with any sort of battle. Going for the wings or legs may be a good idea to cripple a melee unit and then leave him for mop up by the range squad or simply taking a limb off someone who two hands a weapon.

In your duel, i mean, would you go for my head? and what about Lightning?Chimaera?Huskarl?Myrm?Valkyre?Wraith?
>pic unrelated, i just love it... but i aways loe the contrast of loli and mecha anyway...

>>904717
For the Walkure I'd probably go for the head or wings as part of the hand to hand spectacle. Myrm depends, but for the more rediculous, one hit kill machines, it's going straight for the threat removal. Going for the head or anything else isn't safe when a single hit loses the match.

>>904852
This would be a show, the two of them in hardcore CQC beheading one another in midst of punchs and mecha thurster ballet.

I want Akai to win... But could you imagine a Villkiss jobing to a Zaku? That would be just hilarious.

>>904908
Ah but this is a Doan Zaku. In some games it can learn from Doman and gain that golden glow and all that comes with it.

Man, if the G-Gundam and the Villkiss got into an bullshit fight, their level of bullshit you get so hig as they aspull things and level up in the middle of the fight that the MECHA GOD'S themselfs would appear to judge them for breaking the laws of reality!

>And in the end they would marry, call all the gundams for the wedding, and have many SD sons and daughters together, because this is in what this level of bullshit would result, it would bend the laws of reality itself.

I was bored and made up an easter egg as a saturnian helper and friend of Katherine writting an evaluation of the pilots for Rosita.
If you "REEEEE" from that or if i got your planet wrong, please inform me so i can solve the problem.

I realized that some time ago and honestly just figured it was too late to change it, and backup sensors mostly suck for snipers, they still have a combat range of at least 1km.

>>905418
Well, it does give a actual strategic reason to go for the head. Not a big one mind you, but one that helps.

Have a small preview.


[Arm Mounted] Amos Tactical Missile Array: Range 550m, WA +3, 10K (7K of structure), Fuse (Missiles can be set on a timer or detonated remotely), 10 Missiles, 29.5 CP, 7 Spaces, 3.5 tons

For a phalanx cannon can i make one with 1 kill of damage and 8 burst value, will that stop a 8 missile barage?

So since the Wraith is in the same size Class as a Harpy and and is a stealth Mecha.
Would it be relegated to the Storm Dragon shinobi weeaboo Mosh pit?
Because Gareth would have no idea what any of the Storm Dragon pilots would be talking about

>>905762
I reckon we should just throw everyone in randomly and see what happens.

>>905694
Only if you sucessfully roll higher than your opponent, destroying tha Valkyre's missiles probably wouldn't be so hard, but imagine a Shinobi Harpy with +3WA, the chances will be against you, and thats assuming that luck isn't involved.

About this... it may be a good idea against Walkure, Pharcyde and Valkyre but i don't rememeber anyone more using missiles, thre is also the off chance of you going against a Pumpkinseed II or something but most mook mecha or have a few 12K or many 3 or 4K missiles that aren't that dangerous per se... What makes this a hard choice if you are short in CP because burst is too expensive.

>>905779
But phalanx is half cost

A new updated Character Bio For Gareth Rains.
Give a little more detail about why he dropped out of med School
Also built a new Alt version of the Wraith to replace the Fire control version since Wong gave it the nay
New load out drops the Vibro blade in favor of a Striker Chest and ASP
Both set now feature CP pricing for both base+X.3+X.2
And Base+X.5
Since Wong never got back to me on that
>>905808
Mental Scars that will take a team of therapists years to talk before giving up and chalking it up to space madness

Remind me what level of Cloaking-related systems is actually permissible for tournament use now?

>>905919
Basic Cloak
Active Cloak
Stealth

At least those are the ones Wong hasn't out right said no to
Fire Control is out
Not sure about combat cloak

I just found this image... Who is up for editing it to be quest related?
change "agis" for "greenman"
change the hypercop part for:
">Avalon isn't a greenman fiefdom
you're welcome, sap suckers."

add UJCIDF flag in palce of the one in there

remove christian references... Maybe add Roman patheon ones?

>>905932
He said no to all the various Refracts?

...Someone asked him about all the various Refracts?

>>906003
I don't recall him saying anything about the different Refracts, nor do I recall anyone asking about them

>>905762
It'd be a specialist, the same goes for the like of Huscarl and Valkyrie. It's got one role it is very good at and sticks to it. And the more I think about it, the more 'weeaboo marco polo' appeals to me.
>>905526
..Floating land mines? Thats actually pretty scary.

>>906042
Mines have to have a WA of 0 but apparently hit automatically regardless.

>>906042
This reminds me of something... If i have Fuse-Blast missiles, do i even need to hit someone? Couldn't i just wait for the missile be in the same "hex" and exlode it?Causing sharpnel damage to everyone in that hex?

Also, how much do we know of our enemies from the tourney? Because if we are going to use missiles and everything in the initial battles, the other contestants will know about it.

>>906058
>>906070
Looks like this is a mix between a mine and a sticky bomb. The accuracy is not only to hit, but to 'stick' to the enemy when they try to remove it. So you can have fun scenarios where Amos puts a pile of sticky bombs on a paladin(three on the power plant somehow) and he's holding the button asking them to surrender.

>>905526
So he has a Medium weight with a Active shield on the other arm? This is looking better than expected... Is his armor Light Weight?

>>906082
Man... This is a normal missile, not a mine, mines have Range 0, but maybe the stick part could happen.

>>906082
How do you work out the weight of a missile again?

>>906086
That is sort of the use of a fuse weapon. It only explodes when you want it to. So in theory you could fire them into the ground as a proximity or remote mine and go GoldenEye versus mode on them.

>>906090
Well like most weapons missile packs have kills and that kill count is their total ammount of kills divided by 12. So if I have a 4 pack of 6 kill missiles, it's 2 kills and thus 1 ton.

>>906091
Hm... I'm thinking that if the Valkyre is going to show her shadow imagers in initial rounds... It would make sense that the Storm Dragons would plan a strategy against it.

But i don't know about how the blast/fuse combo would work in this way, wouldn't it be too OP if you can just explode it into the hex and the opponet can't dodge?(Because that is what Blast does) And then the shadow imagers are tagged as result? Seems too easy to be true.

>>906103
In fact, its total kills divided by 15, so 10x6K would result in 4 Structural Kills and 2 tons.

>>906106
That is sort of the point of blast though. It's duty is to hit everything in a hex. It's less OP and more a counter to such things like 'MV 0 Active shield using speedster with 10 shadow images'. It's not really a damage dealing weapon either since even if it's 20 kills, the blast spreads it to four areas of five.
>>906110
So it is, must have got caught on that 1 missile with 12 kills.
