Sweet. Time for my favorite quest.

Yay, we're up.

Again, for scaling rules for ships, I'm guessing it's making a mech that's just torso and armor, sticking guns, and then doing all the scaling?

>>1471715
We're back! Yes!

On Auditorium, a seemingly young man walks into a hangar. Two swords rattle at his waist, beneath minimalistic black ballistic armor. The helmet hangs from a clip on his belt, exposing his youthful features, pointed ears, and mussed black hair.

He shields his eyes against the bright glare of the luminotubes, gazing up at what he came here to purchase. Its anemone-like pauldron and the star-shaped throwing drone on the other shoulder are gone, replaced with a ring of elaborate downward-facing spikes set into flexile pauldron mounts hanging down over the biceps. The handle of its lance has been shortened, and the drill itself lengthened, now more like a jousting lance than a spear. Yet, the new weapon systems aren't all he sees. He sees the heavier armor. He sees the face, in shadow, somehow giving off an impression of menace even deactivated. He sees the artistry that has gone into the placement of the thruster systems and the powerful drill-shaped twin thruster turbines on its back. He sees the monohorn and the swept-back fins on either side of the head like a pair of long ears.

For the first time in a very long time, Duke Eustace de Rothschild-Beauchamps, Paladin of Avalon and second or third among that nation's mech aces, shivers.

“No second thoughts, now. I don't want to hear that you're paying in money that's only good in Avalonian space or that you accidentally misplaced a zero.” Gripes the contact he's supposed to meet for the transfer. He takes a second look at her. Rather short, slightly rounded with generous curves, sporting glasses and dark hair pulled back into two fat, frizzy braids. More importantly, she's looking at the diabolical machine with pride.

“This is your work?” He doesn't bother asking if the specs match the ones he was showed. He trusts the pride of the Iron Kestrels that far, at least. They're pirates, not scavvies. The strider is painted in a strange black-and-white design of asymmetrical stripes that break up its outline, and they look more elaborate than they did when he first saw the Swordfish again near 16-Psyche, when his Oliver broke it nigh-effortlessly. It has grown back stronger.

Basically. I think it would be easier to scale all the parts then put it together though. You'd be thinking of everything at x100 anyway.

>>1471792
Okay, so just scale everything up first, then put it together.

Got it.

>>1471795
That's just my opinion, do it however is easiest for you.

Oh, but since Wong's using them, use the CIWS guns from the corebook. They're way cheaper than if you made them using Scaling rules.

“Of course. I'm the Rhinehawk's Chief Mechanic. Formally now, with grandpa busy...err. Sorry. I shouldn't be chatting when you're here for business. But yes, all of the best Kestrel mecha have either been improved or built by me.” She crosses her arms, trying not to brag, “This one is one of my masterpieces. I can't explain it, but somehow it just felt like this mech was...receptive to what I was doing. Upgrading it was easier than usual, as if it wanted to fight again, as if it had been built for more than what it was currently capable of. As if I was repairing it more than adding to it.”

“You're right.” The Duke says with such certainty that Karen is taken aback, staring at him as he walks towards it, placing a hand on its foot, “...The first time I saw this machine, I was a young boy. There was a meteor shower, so I convinced the girl I was in love with to sneak out of her father's house and come watch with me. Only...they weren't falling stars. They were striders. They filled the sky like sparks from a forge, glowing so bright, and through a telescope...I saw this one. I saw it dance with the Lady. I didn't realize it for a long time, but this strider, Dread Knight Merrow's mount, was what made me long to be a knight. I grew considerably in my goals since that desire blossomed, but it was what started my journey. What I saw on 16-Psyche...wasn't the same strider. It was a shell of it, a remnant, but with the egg of something new and fantastic inside. With this, I finally see the rebirth of the strider I saw. It's not exactly the same, but...once again, it feels like a machine with spirit.”

“That's because of the diversified thruster portfolio and increased efficiency on the microfusion generator.” Karen quips, “Look, save the philosophy. Loriette might be alright, but we're not your friends. This is a business transaction, nothing more.”

The Duke sighs, shaking his head, “You don't understand. You build machines that are used for war, but you aren't a warrior at heart. You wouldn't understand what's between myself and someone like Rowarc.”

Karen has an idea for one of those erotic comics Oda sells, suddenly, but keeps it to herself. For now. “Huh?” She responds, articulately.

“We are friends. We are friends even though...no, because of...the fact that our positions will likely force us into an unavoidable battle someday. This camaraderie between equals is among the most pure and noble emotions possible. To face someone it would be a challenge to defeat, and a noble end to lose to, that is the greatest joy a true warrior could ask for. To taste this feeling again is something I did not expect in this war. To taste it multiple times since coming to this system...it almost makes me regret the fact that I won't be staying.” The Duke's voice is thoughtful, his mind somewhere far away.

“Don't compare yourself to my Roarke.” Karen gripes, preparing the carrying clamps the Oliver will use to carry the improved Swordfish back. Huge pincer-like grippers with large grasping handles lower from cranes on the ceiling into position on the Swordfish's arms, “And don't act like you're anything alike after kidnapping Caesar's girlfriend.”

“I was saving her life from the Jovians, but I know when a battle is unwinnable. I compare myself to him because there are more similarities than you know. Perhaps we'll speak of this again, someday. Or not.” The Duke rides the liftwire back up into the Oliver, and straps the Swordfish to its chest. He takes a moment to scan it one last time, purely for his own interest.

One can hope.

>>1471910

Yes, it's actually an idea I'd thought of too, but hadn't had a reason to use yet.

>>1471904
While not intentional, that Totally looks like a transport ship that was refitted into a combat ship. Kinda fitting.

An alternative name could be "Orca" class Frigate. If Wong gives a name to the generic transport class, I can make a play off of that too.

>>1471906
He didn't say that it wouldn't end like that, in fact, is the risk of that the thing that allow such feelings to grow...

Tell me Thunder, did you ever tasted such feeling? having a noble rival to face against?

>>1471957
I'd say at this point? Low. We did, only just get the baby bio-core. Maybe later, when Caesar inevitably honeydicks not-Rin.

>>1471976
Why would Caesar do that? He's not the type of person who would cheat on Naomi for any reason. And not everyone in setting is fine with having a harem.

>>1471970
When he played us like a fiddle? Either case, I'd rather deal with him than Lucas or Maria.

>>1471970
Yeah, the Duke isn't Roarkes rival at all. I doubt Roarke would even think of him as one honestly. We tend to rip n tear too much to have rivals anyway.

>>1471976
I cant see caesar doing that though. Bit of one-love only guy. And jilting Rin is going to be Bad News.

>>1471990
Right now our rival is Fairy but most likely we're going to become rivals with Belegor once we meet him.

>>1471987
I meant care about him as more than an annoyance. I would rather deal with Lucas since he would just provoke us and start shit and we would kill him.

>>1471986
We're already partway there. I suppose I should have put in "accidentally honeydicks" since Caesar seems to have made an impression on her. Honeydicking is technically just seducing, I believe. Who knows though. She might not even be into dudes.

>>1472024

She is most certainly into dudes. Also into, at least. And into her guards. And guys wearing red.

This was never a part of the plan, at most he said that he was happy by the irony of a Merrow in love with a greenlady.

>>1472007
Nope, Fairy is more like an archnemesis or something, both just hate each other, Belegor would be more of a rival because of what they have in common and his desire of "being the strongest".

>>1471990

Does Roarke even worry much about him? It doesn't seem so.

>>1472036
Oh shit, that's the same chick? Oops.

>>1472007
Lucas was very much a 'damn the consequences' sort. Fighting him would be simpler, but casualties would be really damn high just due to his strategies. Bombing auditorium, using bomb collars on refugees, ramming ships into other ships all seem like shit he would do.

Right, we've got frigates that specialize solely in anti-starship combat. What else do we need?

I'm contemplating making something that can use the Core Cannon.

>>1472057
Trying to think on how to make something akin to a US WWII cruiser.

I think it's gonna be heavy striker hull and maybe heavy striker armor, two sets of bow and stern guns, deluxe CIDS, and a passenger bay.

Problem is no mechs.

>>1472075
I don't think the Corebook has rules for Orbital Bombardment.

And we can just steal haulers.

Captain Ashta and Maxwell Hammer shake hands firmly, “I'm wishing you luck, even if every penny I have to spend repairing the dents on my Chimera is food taken out of my girls' mouths.” The scavvie jokes.

“I'm sure they'll survive, young women these days are so conscious of their weight.” Maxwell feigns seriousness, and they both laugh.

Ashta's smile dries up first, “I can't lose, you know? I've got to build a future for them. Something better than what their mom and I had.”

Max shakes his head, “I can't either. It's pretty troublesome.” He straightens his back, “You're not the only one whose kids are watching you fight. Those boys have grown up without any kind of role model but the strongest lads in their clade. They've worshiped nothing but ruthless strength and victory since they were old enough to think. That's why I've got to show them a better way. I have to teach them that there is greater strength in walking upright, with a head held high and a clear heart. My God put me into their path for this purpose, and I won't let them down.”

Ashta shakes his head, “That's too serious.” He says, but his tone is admiring. “You're a good man, Hammer.”

“You too, Ashta.” The orphanage director smiles, removing his cross necklace from inside his shirt and hanging it around his neck as he does up the last few seals of his pilot suit, putting his helmet on, “May the Lord keep you.”

“I've got enough people keeping me, but I've never turned down a free bonus.” Judeau Ashta, Robert DuBois, puts on his own helmet and adjusts it, “Let's go give our kids a show, shall we?”

They bump knuckles and depart for their mecha, and soon enough, launch to face each other by the cold light of the arena's luminators, Red Siren announcing the start of the match.

>[Dutch, roll me a 1d10, I'll be piloting the Chimera]

So... A normal carrier then?

>>1472120
Like 15th century Chinese Junks. Some were made specifically for hauling loot.

>>1472140
Maybe more like a u-haul or a super sized carrier.

>>1472146
I was thinking a Spanish gold ship.

>>1472149
That works too. Honestly though, we need a much larger fleet to guard that kinda thing. Still, fun to theorize, we could even make it look like an old ship!

>>1472122
That's funny, made me think of ReHOME from Gundam Seed Astray...

Maybe a tender ship could work for later use. Helps us repair our mechs and ships, and we can charge others in territory for repair, making it a legitimate front. Does go close to scavvie tier, though.

>>1472122
I'm not sure we're ready to deal with the gurren dan.

>>1472109
I dunno, having specialized ships for later will probably work, especially when we have to slug with other ships.

You could take out an aft gun for mecha space, but the ships I've seen so far always had a mech bay, so wanted to try something different.

Your hands may be +2, but thus far facing has always been determined when a mech first moves. Simply choosing to have been facing 0218 deprives you of that +1 FIRSTLY (not that it matters much in terms of the actual numbers, beating a 24 with 1d10+13 requires luck expenditure at all). Secondly, you seem to have forgotten how many actions you get. One action of flight (even enhanced with your booster at maximum, it's not free walking, it's flight), and one tackle. Since you forgot this, however, I'll give you the option...do you still intend to tackle? Is that really what you want to do? Are you absolutely, 100% certain?

>>1472562

Ah, no, ignore this. Tackle is a end-of-move action, right, right.

By the by, which way are you facing? Because depending on where, you take a penalty.

>>1472586
3, if you're afraid of a cockpit hit. So that's a 21?

>>1472596
my axe has a +1 since it is a beam weapon. 22.

Rolled 4 + 19 (1d10 + 19)

>>1472586

It's a bother, but I'm expending Luck too. All but 2.

>>1472603
>>1472586

Wew, 22 to 23.

>>1472603
The dice gods are trying to screw both of you, it seems.

Rolled 5 + 19 (1d10 + 19)

>>1472603

Looks like that's a 23. Alrighty.

That tackle you were so proud of doesn't move the Chimera a hex away if what's behind the Chimera is a wall. Therefore, by RAW, that
+4 from aiming still applies. In short, dodge this.

>>1472615
Well, it wouldn't move you anyway since you dodged.

Rolled 8 + 13 (1d10 + 13)

>>1472615
Very well. I have two rolls. I simply need to prevent a critical. Even with a hit, that gun will not break through 5 SP and 8 kill in my torso.

>>1472616

Incorrect. Without spending Luck I had no way to dodge the Tackle, so I didn't bother rolling against it.

>>1472619
Oh wait, I'm retarded. Forgot the second roll was the axe. I should pay attention.

Rolled 10 + 13 (1d10 + 13)

>>1472617
And that prevents your crit, Mr Wong. I'll still block with my shield, of course.

>>1472622
Oof, that hurts. If you had spent 1 luck you would've parried. I wonder what limb you're going to lose.

Rolled 4 (1d10)

>>1472625

Let's find out!

>>1472629
I think that may very well hurt even worse.

>>1472629
My Torso with a 12 kill gun if I recall. I survive with 1 kill left.

>>1472622
noice

>>1472629

Che, the worst possible result for my plans. It looks like the Dutchman's torso has been reduced to 4SP, 1 remaining Kill. Even I can't predict this fight now. It's your turn, Dutch.

>>1472642
Trying to shoot his boosters off?

Torso is pretty bad for that.

>>1472642
Well, this is amusing.

Rolled 6 + 14 (1d10 + 14)

>>1472642
G O O D. My turn. Let's keep the game rolling, Mr. Wong. Axe to the torso.

Rolled 5 + 13 (1d10 + 13)

>>1472655

You're rolling well today. Well, it's not like my original strategy got screwed up and now I'm winging it or anything.

Rolled 2 + 12 (1d10 + 12)

>>1472662

Bah. Come on, dice. You're not being very exciting today.

>>1472655
>>1472662
>>1472663

That's a hit. I'm guessing that was a called shot?

>>1472662
>>1472663

Welp, looks like the Dutchman carries this one. If it weren't for a miscalculation on my part, where I forgot tackles were usable at the end of a move, this would have gone better. At least it was close. One beam gladius hit would have finished it.

>>1472663
That's 1-1 Mr Wong. 9 kills with a EMW is enough to get through your torso. G O O D game. But seriously, good game. The dice were my buddies tonight.
>>1472670
Yup, this was a close fight. Got my blood pumping. Kids will enjoy this story.

>>1472670

And math confirms that, yes, Dutch won. Consarnit. I hope Chimeranon forgives me. To explain my strategy now, with where Dutch moved originally it was extremely hard, probably impossible, to increase distance without exposing the Chimera's back and giving him an opportunity to pull the ol' backstab maneuver, so I opted to stay still and aim, hoping to take his head or a limb off and cripple him...but the dice said no.

>>1472655
CONGRATS KOUHAI!

>>1472670
Yep, that's a full 8k of damage to the torso with a 9k Beam EMW.

At least Robert can go home and become a family man again.

>>1472677
I guessed that was your strategy. I would have done the same thing.

Is Lightning vs Blitz going to happen today? I really need to get some sleep...

Seriously, who knows what will happen tomorrow at this point.

>>1472679
Zaku Pride, Worldwide. Little bit of info, I made the Guardian using bits of Zaku Customs. Garma's vulcans, Dozel's huge axe, some fancy nades, and of course the grand cracker.

>>1472677
I guess it's the Blitz's turn to get melee'd to death next session then.

>>1472684
The Blitz loses the turn the Lightning gets into melee, or the turn after. I'd bet money on it.

>>1472685
Fuck yea, Zaku superiority.

>>1472685
Congrats, Dutch. Looks like the Zaku is still going strong.

>>1472696
>>1472690
Not sure how far I'll go, but this was a good showing of both machines. If I had a little less armor, I would have lost. We got to break that tie some time Wong.

>>1472689

There are problems with that assumption. Namely that the Lightning, while it IS capable of just what you're supposing, is also very much a glass cannon built around the idea of "just hit so hard nothing survives." No shield. Two-handed weapon. Using it is a tremendous gamble.

>>1472701
It was a good showing, indeed.

Remembered that I just ran a game for my brothers where they were running not-Gundam SEED stuff and I just pulled Wong's Pumpkinseed as a mook with slightly better pilots than them.

>Athrun expy gets in a 2v1 with a Pumpkinseed with a MG and a heavy cannon
>He manages to cut the weapon off of the MG with one strike and cut off the arm with a quick strike right after
>Heavy cannon's turn
>Hits, expy fails rolls
>Suddenly Athrun-expy's entire right arm is blown off and he can't use the double-bladed beam saber anymore

It was hilarious.

>>1472677
Thanks for running Wong, that was an close fight and another surprising victory for the Zaku, who really deserves it by its courage in being... Well... An Zaku! XD

I think I'm going to go to sleep early today my brothers, see you next time.

>>1472725
Yeah. Lightning is going to have to play smart to close the gap and he cannot afford any part of him getting hit. A missing leg or arm ends the fight for him and he can't afford to use the weaker sword.

>>1472725
This. We have seen how these fights have gone. Shit's crazy. The lightning is a beast, but it still needs to get close to do it's thing.

>>1472736
He can still fight with an missing leg, it would only make him slower.

>>1472741
Thats the issue. He'd be much slower and if he is below 8 MA, he can't fly. That means he can't hop trenches and the blitz is much faster via boost with longer range. It'd be a shooting gallery.

>>1472740
Which won't be hard with its 16 MA and the Blitz having to use 3 MA if it wants to get over a trench.

Two turns worth of reaching the Blitz if it doesn't move. And that's if I forgo the Beam Magnum vers.

Right, gents, what do you think about a Medium Striker Hull with Heavy Striker Armor, fore and Aft Medium Beam Batteries, A Deluxe CIDS, and a Mech Bay? It's small enough to be fairly sple to Produce while still having a decent amount of firepower on top of a Mech Bay.

>>1472763
Oh yeah, that reminds me I found the carrier I made. I didn't finish though, so I had to change a bunch of stuff around. I don't know if Wong would approve of the catapult or the scaled beam gun I made instead of using the corebook ones.

https://pastebin.com/kA2TCc4m

>>1472763
I'm assuming it has engines?

Because I always forget about engines.

You know, actually reading what the Hyper Modifier for EMW does makes me realize how potentially broken they are.

I'll see what I can play around with later. Those things are surprisingly awesome.

>>1472766
Yep. Engines and Crew are 2 Spaces. Always assume you have those.

>>1472766
Also, what's the difference between normal armor and Scaled Armor with the scaling rules?

Seems like Scaled Armor feels like Ablative, but I may be reading that wrong.

>>1472776
It also has x10 or x100 the SP and has a much higher DC. It's more like Ablative Officer Armor.

>>1472782
>also
It has

>>1472785
Interesting. I'm guessing it costs way more than normal armor, too?

It's noted that only "militaries, large corporations, and nations" are capable of constructing ships in the Corebook. I think one of the more effective limitations is the lack of a shipyard. Where are the rules for construction time?

>>1472782
>>1472776
>>1472789

We're using the Corebook rules to create the starships.

>>1472794
Yeah, I know we're using corebook rules for Mecha Space Pirate Quest.

Just wanna know how to do it scaling rules wise for a personal game and for fun and effort.

>>1472789
Five times. So Superlight Starship scale armor would have 100 SP's of armor, lose 1d10x10 SP per increment of 100 Kills, would require 100 Kills to ablate, and would cost 2,500 CP.

>>1472794
Wong has said we might start using scaling rules to signify a "new era" in ship construction.

>>1472798
That's fair. Doing the same for my own thing.

>>1472800
>Wong has said we might start using scaling rules to signify a "new era" in ship construction.

He has, but we haven't done so yet.

>>1472677
Not much to forgive. Thanks for taking control for me Wong. Not only did I get off work late tonight, but afterwards I had family stuff to take care of, so thanks for doing that. And while it wasn't a strategy that I would have used, it was a good strategy, especially if you'd blown off his arm holding the Beam Axe

>>1472809
So? Anything made using Scaling might show up eventually.

>>1472769

And just so I'm clear on the rules of Combining weapons.

if I have a 100CP weapon, the Combining modifier would bring it down to 50, however, the other half of the original cost must be divided among the component parts (for example, two 25CP weapons), so overall the original cost is the same, correct?

>>1472812
He made a good call, honestly. I WAS going to go for the back stab or throw a grenade at your back if you fled from your spot. A lot of my plan involved if I would go first or last. Last meant defense, first meant offense since whoever reached the higher bracket first was going to decide how the fight will go.

>>1472800
Hmm, that's interesting that ATM states that regular armor goes down every 10 kills now instead of every 100 kills.

So with ATM rules, if I hit regular armor with a 100k hit, I'd have to roll armor ablation 10 times?

>>1472833
Yep.

The Dutchman closes, its booster pack blazing brightly as it streaks forward, dropping a grenade that explodes in a cloud of glittering chaff to block the line of the Chimera's beam cannon. Maxwell, inside his mech, takes hold of the cross floating around his neck and squeezes it. The huge beam cannon is tracking him, and DuBois is cool as space, just floating there with his back to the wall. He zips around the hill at the center of the arena, and throws down another chaff grenade.

“Oy, you're overthinking this, aren't you?” DuBois' voice is calm and confident over the comms, “You've just used up your last of those.” He continues to watch the Dutchman in flight, noting how it moves, how it turns. Avoiding it in this enclosed space isn't an option. Shooting it from afar was never possible, either, not when it launched first and had those chaff grenades. On the other hand, now they're gone, and he just has its other weaponry to worry about.

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Maxwell responds serenely.

“Good for you. Hurry up, I've got...” DuBois' voice trails off. This kind of banter, it's familiar. Too familiar. He closes his eyes and shakes his head, the arena lighting glittering off the chaff reminding him of...reminding him of...

The sun glitters on the ocean. Cold and grey, speckled with foam.

“Sorry, something's wrong with my comms, your sound faded out.” The Dutchman roars towards the Chimera. Despite Maxwell Hammer's apologetic voice, there's no mercy in the spiky green mech's singular glowing eye as it kicks off the wall and drops a heavy elbow on the Chimera's chest, knocking it reeling. The arm that elbowed whips up and around, holding high a huge axe with a beam emitter along its edge, bringing it down in a vertical slash. The Chimera stumbles out of the way.

Shining metal rains down on the ocean, like glittering snow. A young man's finger tightens on the trigger, and he speaks to the man demanding a reason from him over the comms as their wounded Bluegills fall towards the water...

“Like I said, you're overthinking it.” From a few feet away, the muzzle of the plasma cannon fires directly into the Dutchman's chest as DuBois recovers himself. Ripples go through the suddenly superheated metal, peeling it back away from the reinforced cockpit ball. Lightning crackles over the Dutchman's stricken frame. It reels back. DuBois looks up...and for just a moment, he swears he recognizes the face of the woman standing in one of the observation pods.

[Continued]

>>1472834
Now I'm wondering why take regular armor if it ablates so easily and a 1k gun is still scaled to 100 kills...unless regular armor still takes off kills per hit. So for a 100k gun on superlight armor, I'd be taking no damage on the first shot, and be getting some small damage on the other 9 shots.

>>1472819
Pretty sure it bumps the cost up to 150CP actually.

He cracks a smile, seeing the girls standing next to her, and draws his beam gladius, “Damn it, Maria, I told them not to let them watch. You'll be paying for that, if I have to spank you for it.”

Maxwell has no distractions. His mech nearly being destroyed only whets his martial fury. Gripping the cross around his neck so tightly the edges of the Christian holy symbol nearly poke a hole in the palm of his glove, he lashes out with a desperate swing. His mech, his Dutchman, has been built above all else to be practical. The axe isn't as excessively huge and powerful as some of the weapons in this tournament, but he built it to bisect a Pumpkinseed in a single swing. Plasma melee weaponry is one of the glorious trophies of the Iron Kestrels, and he's proud to be considered skilled with it.

The two men strike simultaneously, but the longer weapon bites into the other mech first. Warning klaxons shriek through the Chimera's cockpit pod, and once again, Robert DuBois is somewhere else. Somewhere warm.

It's just a little shack of tin roofing and debris from prefabricated settlements. As much of a mess as his cockpit currently is. A redheaded woman is curled up around him, naked, her body heat leaching the chill from his muscles. Slowly, consciousness returns. He remembers the fall, even if he doesn't remember being pulled from the water. Bluegill combat is a dangerous thing, after all. He was sure he was a goner, he was ready to be a goner. In that moment, one life ended and another began. Robert DuBois' body was never recovered from the ocean, and as a traitor he received no remembrance.

“DuBois! Damn it, hit the eject!” Maxwell roars, trying to pull the beam axe out of the Chimera's chest, the edge slowly burning into the armored plating of the Chimera's cockpit.

Robert DuBois' fingers twitch, fumbling for the button, and he hits it, his cockpit ball giving one final slap of defiance to the Dutchman as it inadvertently whacks against Maxwell's cockpit ball in the process of ejection, sending the tall man's head cracking against his seat.

“I remember now why I quit doing that.” DuBois groans, “Look at my mech! Look at my poor mech! Listen, buddy, I'm gonna expect you to take responsibility and pay for the damages.”

“Repairs are free, you can't pull that kind of thing on me.” Maxwell grumbles as Red Siren announces the end of the fight.

“Not that! The damages to ME! I've got a crick in my neck now from that stupid damn tackle you did.” DuBois complains as Maxwell tows his mech back to the bay.

“I'm sorry, but...” Maxwell tries to interject and Robert cuts him off.

“Only whiskey will cure this.”

“Whiskey, huh? I suppose I could pick some up, but...” Again Maxwell is cut off.

“I'm saying we should go drinking, later. I don't say this often, but I owe you. You're right, there's strength in being an upright man. Listen, Max, don't you ever lose your way, you hear? It's more than just those kids who need you, this whole damned mess of pirates needs men like you to keep them remotely honest.” DuBois laughs, and after a moment of stunned silence Maxwell joins in. They're still laughing when they land, and two Kestrels on duty piloting Bluegills pry open the Chimera's battered cockpit ball with the prybar tips as the ends of their maces. Robert DuBois stumbles out...and immediately, two small girls jump on him.

“Dad!”
“Dad!”
““How are you going to pay us back for risking your life like that!?”” Two tiny, outraged voices and small but hard fists pummel the scavvie Captain, who protests in vain as his daughters demand apology hugs, ice cream, and that he be more careful in the future.

Maxwell watches with a smile, “...I'll tell you what. I think you already know how to be an example to people. You're an upright man in your own way, whatever your name is.”

>>1472851
That's adorable.

>>1472851
The future will be safe with these two watching the next generation. Neat bit of info too. Seems Maxwell has ties with Paley's Planet as well.

>>1472868
That's a good thing to know.

And Waterworld has really brought a lot of people here.

>>1472845
the book says it's a 0.5 cost multiplier to the 'greater' mech. So I assume reduces the CP cost for the greater mech by half, but the other half is paid for by the components, bringing it back to full price.

other wise there would be no point in ever combining because it would be more expensive than just building the combined form itself.

>>1472870
It seems more like aquatic vietnam every moment. And Fairchild was one of the main reasons for it being a clusterfuck.

>>1472871
What page is that on? Because you're supposed to add 1 to multipliers that say something like "x0.2 cost multiplier."

You forgot to add the 1. The total multiplier is 1.9.

>>1472913
How does having 2 fore batteries work?

>>1472919
Oh, whoops, Yeah, the cost is all wrong then.

That should be 23,742.4 CP

>>1472920
I assumed that each battery was like a single casemated turret on a ship. I guess it actually refers to the entire battery of turrets facing at an specified angle.

>>1472875
Goddamnit. Why does it have to be Aqua Vietnam? Why can't it be Aqua Boer? Or Aqua Phillipines? Or Aqua Egypt? Or Aqua Lawrence? Or Aqua Crimea? Or Aqua Alamo? The world does not consist only of USA, France, Russia, UK, and Vietnam.

>>1472955
Because knowledge of Vietnam is more recent in society's collective consciousness and is probably the best example of brutal guerrilla warfare in such horrifying conditions.

tl;dr it's more relevent and a better analogy

>>1472764
>carrier
Hm, how did you figure out range? Because unless I'm reading it wrong, a 1k beam gun is gonna go 400 hexes or something using this scaling and that seems really wrong to me.

>>1472959
The gun I made is corvette scale.

The problem is that you can't actually make the corebook's guns using scaling rules, and any guns you do make are straight up better than the corebooks.

Which reminds me that I forgot to ask if that design is kosher or not.

>>1472961
Now I see it.

Wow, that's pretty goofy. Spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get corebook guns, only to find out it doesn't work.

Also, having DC armor is funny, since you can save your armor lots of trouble from a wide variety of guns.

>>1472958
>>1472955
What about water stalingrad?

>>1472955

Honestly Vietnam doesn't work well for it. Qu'lir had two ideologically distinct factions engaged in a war with unsubtle SSL and Avalonian forces using them as proxies, so it sort of fits, especially considering Amos didn't personally see the mopping-up and the scale of some of the battles may have been undersold because the existence and prevalence of mecha tends to decrease the value of huge infantry armies, but the cat-on-cat fighting got vicious in some places.

Paley's World, by contrast, was straight-up "extremist rebels cause trouble, abuses of power by Jovian overseers attract popular support to the rebels. It gets brutally suppressed."

Fairchild won laurels for it because she efficiently crushed a difficult insurgency, but there's a reason why so many veterans went "Nope, done" after that conflict and quit.

>>1472980
So 'Operation: Iraqi Freedom' then?

>>1472986
More like the Hungarian uprising of 1956

>>1472980
Sounds a bit like water easter rising to me. Or water rising

>>1472980
Man, what was the retirement rate for pilots during that? Losing so many veteran soldiers hurts like mad when it comes to troop quality and training.

>>1473001
That one sounds about right for Fairchild.

>>1473183
it probably wasn't that harmful in the long run, due to the Technological superiority of the Jovians over most of their competition (sans Avalon).
Besides, training raw recruits into combat capable pilots in a short amount of time is nothing new to the UJCIDF.

>>1473682
Plus it seems to have been at least 7-10 years ago at this point.

Ello all, I'm not dead!

Oh wait, that probably falls flat in this crew.

How many fights are left in the tourney now?

Also, when did we do this one eighty flip on how we feel about the Duke? I could have swore we liked and respected the guy, but knew in the end we'd probably have to have a fight to the death. You know, the exact same thing he feels, essentially?

>>1473822
I think there are like 10 left altogether. Also pretty sure it was mostly brazil sucking his dick earlier. That or him kidnapping caesars girl with mindfuckery.

>>1473822
Probably around the time he brainwashed a girl and snatched her away from the man she loved, then started masturbating himself to sleep over the notion that he was a Hard Man Making Hard Choices because of it and casting himself as some tragic figure.

>>1473836
To be fair she was going mental at the time. Bit of a shitshow on all sides.

>>1473822
There are 5 left, I think. 2 in the second bracket, the 3 way fight Wong has mentioned, the semifinals, and the finale.

>>1473854
8. You forgot the third round with 3 matches there. So far it's Libra, Dutchman, Pumpkinseed, the Jager, Blitz/Lightning, and No Count/Murder Bird. Dutchman just beat the Chimera after taking a torso hit.

>>1473894
Oh yeah, there are like 30 22 competitors.

>Also pretty sure it was mostly brazil sucking his dick earlier.
Nope, I even made a pool back then if I'm not mistaken for "Second best boy", and I voted on Oda, only to be surprised by the Duke winning it.

And that was just after he kidnapped Naomi.

After that we had the big reveal of her being mindwashed, but even then people came up with questions like "If you could sacrify one enemy soldier to revive some legendary hero or genius, wouldn't you do it?"

>>1473932
Yep, they are the scrubs hunk and revy killed off screen.

So did you guys know that if you that if you make a starship scale 10K beam gun, it has a range of 65 km and costs 7,500 CP? For reference, the Nova Cannon in the core book has a 12.5 km range and cost 12,000 CP. The both have the same amount of kills. I could make the scaled gun take up 1 space and it would still be 1000 CP cheaper.

I'm really curious what math they used for corebook ship design.

>>1473938
>implying best boy status doesn't go: Amos - Avi - Moe - Caesar ----- that freaky greenskull kid ---------------------------------------------------------- Keith

Oda, Richard and Miles' new gun don't count since they are men.

>>1473972
Yeah, it's weird. The numbers are very arbitrary.

>>1473938
People have been kinda all over with opinions lately. Duke is whatever to me. I enjoy that Wong took Kirito and changed it up, that's about it. What really gets me is there are people who hate the name Knuckle Kaiser, and even worse there's someone who likes Gms over Zakus around somewhere.

>>1474036
Well, Zakus are shit, so, you know.

>>1474036
I'm even on early GMs and Zakus. The Geara Doga is the best looking mobile suit ever, the Jesta looks amazing, and the Geara Zulu looks like the Zaku's retarded cousin.

>>1474036
The Knuckle part of the name just ruins the whole thing.

>>1474007
Yep, even trying to match the gun in core rulebook with scaling, you get a 100k gun that fires 20km rather than the 4km gun in the core.

>>1474036
Both are good in their own ways.

Some people just ain't right.

Today's fight, by the way, is Lightning versus Blitz. No matter who wins I don't expect it to be an incredibly long one, so I'll give the fighters some time to show up.

>>1474073
I'm ready to watch the Blitz get destroyed. I wonder if the dice gods are going to hate everyone today too.

>>1474073
Guess it's gonna be a coin toss from here on out

Nah, the Lightning's attacks have +2 over the Blitz's dodge. The Blitz's attacks are equal to his dodges, though.

Anyone else here play with the Interstellar Imperium? Dominus a best.

I looked at some GM variants and some of them are actually pretty damn nice, I have to say.

>>1474105
Pale Rider and Spartan come to mind. The latter is the inspiration for the Master Chief's design.

>>1474107
Any of them are better than Gundams, honestly. They don't have that stupid fucking gundamface.

>>1474109
Yeah, I can't stand the face. I don't mind the crest sometimes but the face is stupid.

>>1474109

Kuroto are you who I think you are? If so, get your butt on skype and help me figure out discord.

>>1474113

I don't mind the face but I don't like the usual color scheme. A gundam in just red and white, or red, white, and gold, looks much better than throwing blue or black into the mix.

>>1474115
>discord
Wong please no, outside places to discuss quests are pure fucking Cancer.

>>1474127
...Red Astray?

>>1474127
The color isn't my favorite, yeah. The face is what kills gundams for me, though. I mean, GMs are pretty much faceless Gundams and I much prefer them.

I'm here. But meatspace busy. If i dont respond in 15 min, someone needs to take over

>>1474073
Depends on if the Lightning can fight smart. Going for out of sight locations can help him move close. He has mobility to just hop over trenches.

>>1474131

I'm not discussing quests or anything there, Kuroto is just an old buddy of mine who's mostly on discord these days.

>>1474063
Isn't that the truth.

>>1474073
Just in time for another tense match, fight 'til the end gents!

Alright, as per McClintock's request, someone else will control the Lightning and since Blitz isn't here we'll do the same for them. Volunteers?

Mr. Wong, when do you plan on starting? I'm here for the fight. Just need someone for backup

>>1474250

I can be your second if your willing

>>1474253
Sure.

>>1474257
alright, 10 minutes.
need to make a beer run

>>1474249
>Blitz isn't here
I'm here, I just haven't learned the combat rules well enough to control anything.

Did you think someone else was trash talking the Blitz this whole time?

>>1474266
Probably McClintock. Thinks Martians are inbred goatfuckers just because of that one time he stole a goat.

>>1474266
No worries. I'll give you the bases if need be. Got to learn how to fly with your own mech.

>>1474272
Yep, at least you can still use your mech. Had to hop on to a Pumpkinseed II to learn the ways. But like all things, it gets easier to do.

>>1474278
Yup. Your machine is pretty simple to operate blitz, you just need point and shoot. Your booster and speed can help you flee, and your shooting dice has a +13 while your dodging dice has a +12 if I recall.

>>1474177
Someone suggested creating a discord server for the quest... But even I was against it.

>>1474266
>>1474286
Also, you might want to decide which loadout to use. I'm still going with the Kusanagi Lightning.

Damnable technical difficulties. Alright, we have piloting for the Lightning. Blitzanon, I'm guessing you and Dutch are a team here, sort of, so...

Lightning, 1d10+1

Blitz, 1d10

GO!

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>1474342
Well this is unfortunate.

Rolled 1 + 1 (1d10 + 1)

>>1474342

>>1474350
Uhhhh...probably shouldn't have insulted the goat.

>>1473972
Here's a beam cannon battery I messed with using scaling rules:

Fore Beam Battery: Range 20km, 100k, WA +2, BV 4, 4050 CP, 1 Space

>>1474346
>>1474350
Well, now.

off to a good start

>>1474346
Clearly your Eeyore-like malaise is working.

>>1474342
>>1474346
Alright then. When you say the Blitz uses 3 MA to get over a trench, does that put me in the hex beyond the trench, or on top of it?

>>1474346
Right then. Let's talk aim actions. You can take two a turn to give yourself +2 to hit. Up to +4. so long as you don't move, you're good. you move, you lose them. Keep that in mind.

>>1474356
Guess you need to go Vegan.

>>1474378
Think that should be the hex beyond trench. I could be wrong on that, I haven't messed with tanks much.

>>1474394
The trenches are 100 m deep. So to go down the side like it was track is 2 MA. Then you move to the center, then up 2 ma, and then the other side by the look of it. It'll eat up move either way and I am not sure if just dropping would do fall damage.

>>1474378
Wait, doesn't matter, I'd have to be over a trench to get a shot at him. I'm taking a long, windy route to 1701, facing 1702 to get up to 12 MA. Using 1 boost.


>>1474379
Can't see him, the middle bit is in the way.

>>1474401
Wow, so I believe 6 hexes just to get through a trench, huh?

>>1474407
I dunno, Wong said it took 3 a couple threads back.

>>1474407
>>1474413
We'll know soon enough.

>>1474302
Oh yeah, Loadout 1. IIRC I've already said it's the loadout for the tournament. That was like 15 threads ago though.

last I heard, the blitz could still fly, cause wong doesnt give a shit about tank rules.

>>1474346

Alright, it looks like you won initiative! Hopefully, with Dutch's help you'll be able to be a real tank operator in no time! Now, besides settling where you want to move, please tell me what loadout you have.

lightning to 0511

>>1474423
Nope, can't fly, just hover using the Thrusters as a GES.

>>1474425
Loadout 1, 1701 facing 1702 using 1 boost. I'm at 12 MA by winding my way around. Is that against the rules?
