So.. what do we have that can cut through tesla barriers? I think our ships anti mech guns are pretty strong, and 14s to hit would have a good chance.

I think I actually copied them down wrong, if anyone has the originals that would be appreciated.

You are once again Roarke Starwind, and as you're catapulted from the Rhinehawk and into space, you feel a sense of exultation as you see the progression of the battle. The enemy is crushed, totally and completely crushed. You're eradicated their trap, and even as you watch, the enemy transports turn and start to flee, trying to put a colony between themselves and their pursuit. The cloud of mecha surviving is still a threat, but you're at the head of your own forces and already roaring towards them, zigzagging around enemy fire. This is less a battle, and more mopping-up a retreating enemy so they can't regroup to be an annoyance later.

“Roarke! This is it! This is just what I've always dreamed of!” Clemmy sings in your ear. The Flowerhorn catches the Kaiser by the hands and spins it around. An enemy Palomino tries to cut in and she negligently bisects it with one of her foot-mounted beamsabers.

“Stay focused!” Fatima snaps. “This isn't a party! Rosita and...and Loriette...” She sighs, “...will be disembarking soon to join us. I have a list of recommended formations, and...”

“I cannot believe zhis! Mon chance to show off to 'im and you just 'ad to go and steal mon victories! I zhought we were friends, Rosita Kim Starwind!” Loriette's voice cuts Fatima's off.

“I wanted a chance too! Lori, don't be angry, we're still friends, there will be other battles! I...I just wanted to look cool and I was trying to help!” Rosita protests.

“'Arrumph! Le likely tale!” The Avalonian grumbles to herself, then mutters, “Zhanks, I know I am being le silly goose. Why did le ship obey your commands, zhough? You were not on it.”

“I...may have been having some of my people train on it back on Auditorium. Rooaaaaarke! I gave you a battleship, remember? The Troopship is cute, I want it!” Rosita's pout is audible.

The Flowerhorn puts its arm around the Kaiser, “Let's just fly off and go fight.” Clemmy suggests hopefully, “Leave them to have their argument. I'll even put up with the veghead being here.”

The amount of things that Clemmy and Roarke can't handle together is very limited

>>2071260
Well, they were strong enough for Pixy's guns, so the barrier is 8 SP at least, but not 9 if the Squilla can handle them. Honestly, I have been having bad luck looking for it. The post didn't really stick out in my mind back then.
>>2071269
>[Go dancing with Clemmy]
Honestly, I would say go dancing with all of them and make this a dance battle. I want to see Fatima shoot some poor fools down, and Clemmy's blades are strong enough to penetrate those barriers.

Though the shields are likely very different than the original. That matter shield would cause trouble for most(think our kick still knocks it out) but with beam weaponry being popular, it stands no chance against our troops.
Incidentally, why not use our 'dance' to draw people into our own traps? If they wish to dance dirty, then we can be just as.

The dancing is emphatically not literal.

>>2071345
nothing wrong with that, but everyone should get some love, including Fatima. She works rather hard after all, and her beam cannon is quite handy. Once the transports are cleaned up, the Rhinehawk can likely move close and lay cover fire as well. With that shield up, they can crit until the cows come home and nothing will come of it.
>>2071364
I dunno, dancing while destroying their master trap would be quite demoralizing. As would drawing others in for clean up. I honestly don't want to play 'fair' with the enemy. Likewise, the Kaiser and Flowerhorn can go fishing and draw in enemies from their formations and into the slaughter zone.

Yo swivel the Kaiser's head towards the Flowerhorn and nod decisively, before getting back on the comms, “I don't trust this situation.” You're proud of your skill at making excuses, “It could still be a trap. The rest of you, hang back and protect the ships. Clemmy and I will go ahead and see if we can disrup any remaining command structure they have.”

The Flowerhorn claps its hands excitedly.

Fatima and Loriette both squawk at you at once.

“Leave you alone!? Nonsense, we should go together!”

“But le Anseis is suited for le vanguard!”

You put a bit more firmness in your voice, “Fatima, look after them. If anyone can protect our fleet against a surprise attack, it's you girls. Lori, without us you're the heaviest close combat mech there, protect the more vulnerable ones. No arguing.”

You and Clemmy pull ahead of the formation as the rest of the wives fall back. All around you, the Kestrels are cutting down the fleeing forces of the less prepared, less organized, and less motivated enemy brigade.

...When suddenly, at the very edge of your peripheral vision, you spot something. It's an incoming missile, and, standing on a section of slagged hull from the largest enemy ship, is a mech in your own weight category tossing aside a launcher. The projectile explodes, and fills the void for at least a kilometer in all directions with glittering smoke. It's not normal smoke and chaff, though, as your comms abruptly die with a squeal of static.

You're close enough to the outer edge to fly out of it within a few seconds, but that would put you on the opposite side of the cloud from most of your own forces.

honestly, it doesn't help that there weren't that many anime shows brought over back then. Television channels were pretty simple in the 80s,90s, and VHS didn't offer much. I do recall robotech, mechwarrior, and original dragon ball. Samurai pizza cats too.

I got into Anime after finding and reading the Robotech novels written by Jack McKinney in an old second hand bookstore above King Rat video rentals and local music store slash recording studio where me and my Dad would rent Black Adder VHS from. One of the few activities we both enjoyed.

So when I saw it at the Rogers Video store a few years later in the late 90s I grabbed it. 14yr me was blown away. We grew up without cable TV so I had never really seen Transformers or anything. And to be honest, Transformers was kind of crap compared to Robotech. Even then, having read the Jack McKinney books fleshed out the anime a lot as well so I understand not a lot of people would get the same depth out of the anime.

But seriously Transformers are super over rated.

Finding out Brazil and Thunder are in their early 20s explains a lot about their bombastic and exaggerated personalities.

Transformers was a toy commercial in the truest sense of the word. There were a lot of characters and they were either thrown away or killed. Mind you, the originals were still better than Michael Bay's movies, but that is not hard.

Naturally, you break for the edge of the cloud, shimmering smoke puffing out of it behind you as you clear the cloud...and then curse. Loudly. The Medium-Weight mech you saw wasn't tossing the launcher away, it was giving it to a somewhat battered, old Warmouth that had been hidden behind the curve of the hull...and it itself is charging towards you. The Warmouth kneels, a second missile slot rotating into firing position, and launches, a third and final missile streaking after it momentarily. Both detonate, and now you're in the center of a ball of gleaming haze.

Fortunately, refracting beam chaff isn't enough to dissipate the energy of a continuous beam like that produced by the Flowerhorn's sabers, although it might strain the microfusion generator if the battle goes on too long inside this substance. What worries you more is the approaching outlines of four mecha. Three of them, strange things with tall, stovepipe-shaped heads, angle for Clemmy, while the last aims for you. It's strangely nondescript, puffy limbs, a bulbous, swept-back crest over its head, painted in blue and white. Your sensors are barely functioning as is, and you can't scan any of them, it's only thanks to your ASPs that you and Clemmy can see their outlines as the enemy mecha charge at you.

Fortunately, you're an experienced space pirate. Even realizing that your drones are all showing as nonresponsive due to the comms interference, you're not actually worried. They're on autopilot, which has them serve as active verniers and devote 100% of their processing power to offsetting their own weight. You can tell from looking at it, at least, what the enemy mech is like to some extent. It masses about the same as the Kaiser, with armor as thick as yours if a bit less efficient, streamlined, and good-looking. Its weapons, if it has any, aren't obvious, and its speed should be about the same as yours. You see a small, sheath-like compartment behind its back, and its ocular lenses blaze a pale and ghostly blue. You calculate the distance, and brace yourself, you're sure it can't quite reach you. Until it does.

It stops far short of where you expected and draws its weapon in a flash. You twist away from a...ribbon, a long, jointed ribbon that glitters like a blade. It spirals around you, and in the depths of its shimmering alloy you see glowing wires that crackle like thunder. It drifts around you like the tentacle of a jellyfish, and although you avoid it once, it glances against you once. You feel your muscles tense as intense pain racks your body. Your controls crackle, and your muscles twist up in agony. You manage to knock its third blow aside through sheer force of will alone before your controls freeze up.

For Alice Clementine Farragut, a young maiden in love, it's a terrible sight. She watches you twist and writhe in the grip of the electric torment, and something she hasn't felt in a very long time bubbles up inside her. A feeling of helplessness, a feeling of not being strong enough. It's a good thing the comms are off, the things she screams are animalistic, terrified. With her drones not working, she sees the enemy mecha drawing a beam saber from a compartment hidden in its thigh. The beam is short and a brilliant pale blue, the color of the Martian sky, and automatic cables writhe with purpose from its handle to connect to ports on the wrist.

She doesn't know quite what it might do. Unlike you, she never bothered to learn how exactly her mech works, relying on engineers with all of the casual aplomb of a UJCIDF ace, but she does know a thing or two about beam sabers. Specifically, that that thing is handling it with far more grace than virtually any other mecha she's seen.

Barring of course, one.

With a shriek and a column of lemon-yellow light from her heeljets, she activates all of her dorsal thrusters and barrels forward like a meteor. Not towards the three stopepipe-hatted mecha with the large, strangely proportioned arms. Not even as a crackling field surrounds the presented fist of each of the three and bolts of pale energy dance around her mecha. She dodges once, and again, barely slowing her flight as she crosses the Flowerhorn's arms across its chest. The beamsabers the black-and-gold mech is holding activate simultaneously. In shield mode. Twin hemispheral discs of lemon-colored light flare outwards around it like fans, glittering and translucent, the attack dissipating across one. It barely holds, flickering visibly, but then...she darts through their formation, the discs shrinking down into two brilliant stilletos of light, two more blossoming from between her mech's cloven hooves. Ignoring the three mecha behind her, she rockets towards your assailant. It sidesteps her lunge, and she reverses course on a dime, her other saber sweeping around in a horizontal slice. The enemy mech just can't match her aerial footwork, unable to evade in time and swinging its weapon around to block.

[Continued]

The Flowerhorn's moves are faster, its swordplay more precise, the edge of its stiletto's A-particle sheath dissipating the A-Particle sheath holding it together with its own, and rips through, scattering plasma as if the lesser weapon was itself bleeding. The enemy mech's armor crisps as the yellow blade bites deep into its side, collapsing as Clemmy digs deeper, then pulls her sword through with a shriek, exposing its innards (-1 SP, -5K, 7 SP and 7 Kills remaining), then jabs her other blade deep into its chest, molten metal bubbling around it as the tip threatens its pierce the cockpit (-1 SP, -6K, 6 SP and 1 Kill remaining). “ONE MORE!” She roars, but as she goes to kick, the beam knife of her adversary intercepts the weaker blade on her foot and knocks her away. Fearlessly, it turns to face her.

Despite being surrounded, Clemmy spreads her limbs wide, beam swords gleaming, her teeth bared and eyes bulging in her skull.

Even on the brink of destruction by an opponent with no interest in mercy, the enemy mech with the sword and whip seems cool and collected. It calculates. Even if it charged now, it might not be able to finish you off with its melee weapon before you regained control or Clemmy ripped it to pieces, but she's right here and distracted with passion.

As Clemmy tears into the nameless ace, they flip their beamsaber around into an icepick grip and jam it into the base of the Flowerhorn's spine. Clemmy doesn't even hear the alarms as her powerplant is breached, tensing up momentarily and almost immediately relaxing as the Flowerhorn doesn't explode (-1 SP, -2K torso, 6 SP and 10K remaining). The smile-shaped sensor lens of the Flowerhorn gleams a brilliant white as it strains against its enemy, the ghostly lightning crackling from the palms of two of the stovepipe-headed mecha avoiding it and the third splashing across the Flowerhorn's face, barely avoiding blinding it (-1 SP head, -1K main sensors, 6 SP and 1K for the sensors remaining).

In this exact moment, you regain control of your mech.

As much as you want to attack the ace, the bigger threat are the three mecha surrounded by crackling coils of what closely resembles electricity aiming at Clemmy's back, so you assault them immediately. Launching towards them, you spin into a somersault and drive one of the Knuckle Kaiser's heels into the breastbone of the nearest stovepipe-headed mech. There isn't much distance to build up speed, but your feet still shatter through its shield and clash against its breastbone (-1 Torso SP, 6 remaining). These are a lot bulkier than many of your more common opponents, and for once your mighty kick might not be enough...but your fists are. The kick knocks it back, and the pilot inside fires his thrusters just enough to take advantage of the momentum and get just out of the range of your immediate left roundhouse punch, but your right straight crumples its belly, the drills in the Kaiser's knuckles whirring as they tear through its stomach. Your right hand grabs the gash and tears it open wider as you begin peeling the mech apart (-2 Torso SP, -11K, 4 SP and 1K remaining).

As for Clemmy, your trust in her paid off. Her long, narrow blade with its shielding bell hilt and the enemy's short, broad weapon duel with blurring speed. It avoids one lunge, but the second strikes it right in the cockpit...and goes through, vaporizing it. You manage, by looking, to observe the reason for its fearlessness. You've seen that kind of solid, all-mechanical cockpit before, every time you've had to cut open an S-Slayer and find no prize inside. It's just like the First Mate.

The stovepipe mech, which says TESLA-1 on its right pauldron, isn't done yet. The field of lightning around it may be out, but two blunted prongs extend from a bulge on its forearm, crackling with electricity as it tries to jab at you. Its comrades do the same, lunging at you simultaneously. Unfortunately, their petty tricks are not enough to bring down the Pirate King. You avoid them almost effortlessly, but the two that still have the crackling fields of electricity around their field aren't done, the fields spitting jolts of lightning at you. You avoid the first one, before swatting the last attack aside with your shield. You reach out with your left hand, grab the cockpit ball of the Tesla you tore open, and crush it between the grinding saws of your palm, while in the same split second you bring your right leg up and drive your foot in a sideways kick into another Tesla's chest, disrupting the lightning field (-1 Torso SP, 6 remaining). You clench your right hand into a fist, and drive it into the Tesla's face twice with such speed that your arm seems to blur as the hammerblows crush its head and knock it off the mech's shoulders.

The S-Flowerhorn pounces on the enemy mech from behind, leaping onto it from the rear with all four limbs jabbing through it and shredding it indiscriminately. The pilot ejects, the cockpit tumbling away end over end from the explosion.

The last Tesla hesitates, then apparently decides that being alone isn't a good strategy, kicking its legs up and darting away. It's as fast as the Kaiser, and it has a bit of a head start, it could easily stay ahead of you for a good long time...if you simply chased it.

Even outside the normal effective range of your grappling harpoon, you can still grab an enemy as clumsy as this.

You aim carefully, the grapple catching the fleeing Tesla around the foot, and haul back. It struggles, and it's a lot bigger than your usual prey, the Teslas may be a bit smaller than their squad's leader but they still have plenty of mass on a Knight or any of the smaller non-SOUL SSL mecha you've faced over the years. Slowly but surely, you reel it in as it squirms and kicks, trying to drag you by sheer force of will. It doesn't work, you're an expert and they're merely proficient. You pull the Tesla in close enough to give it a solid roundhouse kick, the disruptive field produced by the thrusters in your legs tearing open its shield of lightning as the kick itself bats it to Clemmy, who spins into a graceful pirouette and tears it apart, slicing it literally limb from limb. Its cockpit ball, too, ejects, and you're about to grab it when, in the distance, you see something through the slowly clearing haze produced by the smoke missile.

It's there, floating silently. The Nightmare, face streaked with green. The outline is indistinct, it's sheer luck that you caught a glimpse of it. It raises a hand, and waggles its fingers at you in a mocking wave before turning and flying slowly away.

Well, it's still technically the five man band. We killed one and they had the spare in the wings.

>>2074981
Also, considering the common theory, it's still the five man band if there are 5 men and 1 women.

Now.. nitty gritty, looked at the book and couldn't find emp missiles in there. Closest was the Electronic Warfare, and it's a tricky thing for a reason. Still, if that were the case, the body of the drone will work fine, specifically the head.
Electronic warfare affects the sensors, so if this is affecting everyone, either the sensors for the teslas and drone are protected somehow, they are using higher grade electronics, or maybe they are being shielded by the Nightmare? Would explain why it didn't attack.

>>2074988
Spacecraft already need some degree of radiation protection for prolonged use if people are in them.

Military equipment as well is usually hardened specifically against destructive radiation.

Technology in the setting also has extremely good radiation shielding specifically for all the reactors mecha use - and that explode all the time in combat.

Finally the same properties X-rays have the let then pass through matter to damage internals makes them difficult to adjust to penetrate properly through specific material let alone mixed layers.

Highly absorbant material can also diffuse and discharge the electric bursts away from electronics. Conversely, other material layers will block different portions of the x-ray resulting in the waste heat also diverting into different places and reducing the overall energy passing through the electronics.

Anyways the TL;DR is that x-ray /MmEMP is not a good plan. It's not just inefficient resource wise but it's also not likely to work well against milspec equipment.

>>2074988
Re: Anti-sensor cloud

WWe don't know what it is. It could be a cloud of tiny electronics that react to specific stimuli that can be interpreted by the enemy while filling our sensors with "noise". Like a blind dude in the rain vs. A dude who has vision.

Or they have some sort triangulation communication ability.

Maybe they have a "spotter" that is observing us with an instrument that let's then have visual confirmation. Maybe our mech are bugged. Maybe the Chaff works by somehow being able to redirect most of the energy waste of the mech directly back at it, so the more power you put out the worse it gets. Like directional chaff. And the nightmare has very low power leakage and the nightmare fed the others telemetry data on a low power dispersed beam that would diffuse through the Chaff instead of reacting more energetically and being reflected to the source in a focused wave.

Maybe it's Earth Space Magic.

Note that the sensors etc aren't taking damage. Squealing and dying off though sounds like feedback/overload.

> . It masses about the same as the Kaiser, with armor as thick as yours if a bit less efficient, streamlined, and good-looking. Its weapons, if it has any, aren't obvious, and its speed should be about the same as yours. You see a small, sheath-like compartment behind its back, and its ocular lenses blaze a pale and ghostly blue.

Possibly the spotter Mech designed to work in the cloud and give its support mech firing solutions?

>>2074988
Finally I don't know what's in the books, but a very dangerous anti-mech weapon would be a low-energy X-ray emitter designed to just constantly pump energy into the mech exterior and build up waste heat. Mecha don't really have a lot of mass to disperse it over or room for heat sinks. As well, the small surface area and inverse square cube law means that it will take longer to radiate into space than to the internals where the electronics are yes but more importantly a squishy human is. Third if it's a slow build up then it's likely that pilots would underestimate it until a significant amount had already built up. Possibly making it feasible to use higher energy bursts to rapidly build on the heat they've retained so far and push it into critical levels.

X-rays might not be the best radiation for that to be fair. A shield tuned to be weaker and diffuse could provide a defensive area of effect. Ideally it would be directional, or friendly Mecha could be equipped to deal with it. Or larger Mecha like Fatimas might be viable for using it to assault ships/stations.

Maybe even an energy shield could be converted into functioning as a short range hear ray for mid range combat and back into energy shielding for close combat. Or designed to discharge outwards in a radioactive burst when it fails/overloads.

Woah there, getting a bit too sciency and missing the forest for the trees. Remember this is a setting that has energy barriers, bio reactors, and the HMIS. Not to mention morphic weaponry. Trying to science or try to make weapons like that one guy who way back who said 'let's warp missiles into things' will not help.
Anywho, energy leakage(which seems unlikely considering the Kaiser uses the least ammount of energy compared to the Teslas which have literal electricity shields.), and x-rays aside, the Important thing is the sensors of the enemy. If they are fine and we weren't, then their sensors are the things we should look at if we wish to avoid this sort of trap in the future, or make use of it ourselves.
Also, really recommend looking at the mekton books if you are going to make weapons. It helps a lot in figuring out what you can do in game terms.

Ayy my Teslas are getting some play. Wish I didnt lose the tesla 3.

>>2075296
They are a pretty good upper tier model. Wish I finished up the Newton/Schwarzchild, but it was tough to make. Especially the gravity based weapons. Think I got an idea for a refluff though.

There we go, manage to stat up the Schwarzchild Reactor.
Energy Pool with a power of 25, and 5 things to it for 95 cp and 5 spaces.
4 types of Enclosing reactive shields. Strong force(melee), weak force(Range), Friction(material), and S. Radius(energy). Each at 14 SP, and 1 turn cool down.
The 5th thing is the Graviton Cannon. Beam, hex radius, Wa 0, 15 kills, 2 shots(designed as 1 shot since using both fully depowers the energy pool and shields.).
The idea is switching between shields and weapons depending on the situation. Then I was going to strap it into a mech like this with some gravitics.

> Electronic warfare affects the sensors, so if this is affecting everyone, either the sensors for the teslas and drone are protected somehow, they are using higher grade electronics, or maybe they are being shielded by the Nightmare? Would explain why it didn't attack.

You started trying to science it out first. Badly.

Whereas the first point I made against having EMP is that we've been surrounded by exploding fusion drives. I agree the important thing is internal consistency in the setting and using the rules Wong plays by.

But when you said that there wasn't any EMP bombs in the setting I was just trying to use the science to explain why they might have not put it in, instead using electronic warfare.
So please respect that.

As for the sensors, the point I was trying to make was that we just don't know if it was them.

> Maybe it's Earth Space Magic.

I was serious about that.

I just wanted to remind you to try to not hyper-focus on their sensors. We punch mechs to death with our soul son. It could easily be that the puppeteer of the drone is able to communicate with it in some way that isn't blocked by the Chaff and was therefore able to triangulate or position or even combine the sensor feeds tfor increased accuracy. It could just be the software.

It could equally just be something completely mundane like maybe their sensors were impaired too but they trained for that.

Or since at least one of them didn't have a pilot maybe they weren't even using their sensors but we're just being tossed in as disposable pawns.

Maybe they use the electricity they put off to read the density of the chaff.

The energy leakage thing was just me trying to come up with the craziest explanation possible to point out that we don't know what it was.

The sensors are a good place to start, but I just don't want to be trying to figure out how they got their sensors to work when the might not even have done so.

Ironically I pretty much repeated your original statement. That the Nightmare was somehow compensating for the Chaff for them.

I just didn't restrict myself to thinking it had to protect the sensors, or that the sensors had to be upgraded.

Now if you're saying that's something that specifically isn't possible due to the rule book you have, and that the only possible solution is that the sensors were upgraded in some way then I have no argument against the rules. If you had said that the rules only allow that one solution I wouldn't have said anything in the first place.

I will point out that Wong might have an argument against that. He has already changed rules so that the quest runs smoother. He might have some unique stuff going on with our Nemesis to make them more of a threat than just having higher grade gear the same as we have all our special skills and such.

Or not. I'm not in charge of the quest. I was just spit balling ideas, I'm not committed to any of them.

>>2075645
And I was talking about the books. The books you did not read. What I was talking abut was not science, but game mechanics.

>>2075403
>>2075403
I didn't mean to be offensive when I said you were bad at science.

It's just that it seemed to me you had decided that they had special sensors without considering that they might have compensated for it in other ways.

I definitely agree we should look at them, but I also kind of feel like we could just drag it back to Karen and let her do her thing with the entire Mech as she normally does.

We should absolutely mention to her what we noticed about their performance. Like how the mech stopped before we expected and such.

We did have infiltrators on our ship multiple times now, us being bugged or sabotaged somehow to let them track us is a possibility.


Or maybe the chaff they shot first was different somehow from the others and it marked us.

Oh and the whole "Heat Ray" idea yeah I definitely don't know ow how viable it is. We haven't really had to deal with over-heating on the quest.

That's why I didn't give it stats. If you have any advice on whether or not something like that is feasible I'd value the input. I do remember that the flamethrower from the Tourney had a constant damage effect to represent burning through the armor.

I'm not up to checking though. Those threads are ridiculous.

I was thinking of how it might work.
possibly not doing damage to armor but maybe stacking damage against it, and once it reaches a certain value of the Kills the armor has, or whatever, it starts damaging internal systems directly?

Or maybe it just stacks up kills on the armour and "weakens" it in a sense so that it counts towards the total number of Kills you've done to it, but it doesn't count until all the kills are gone.

Like if it had 6 kills, and the X-ray gun stacked thre kills against it, it would count for having six Kills still. But if you did 3 more kills of damage to it, then the armor would fail because it reached the total Kills.

Man honestly I just got excited thinking about how X-ray lasers might be used in the setting. They're a staple weapon in science fiction, even the harder stuff, because they're actually really quite practical. Honestly the main use for X-ray lasers in a space is because armor is surprisingly easy to add to your vessel once you're in space. Wrangle some asteroids and such. So long as you have the engine power yo

But anyways! The main use of an Xray laser is to actually turn it to a single short high energy pulse that goes right through the armour and frame gives everyone inside "super" Cancer and they die over the next couple of days

I'm not thinking this is some magic bullet has like the warp missile dude. It would just be neat that pike that.

Besides even if it was mechanically feasible there's no guarantee it would be of tactical worth. Weight is a cost to be aware of.

It would be useful to have something that we could mount on the ship in order to supplement our CIWS weapons. Give our mookiosks a better chance

>>2075663
So the game mechanics don't have your life skills and experience impact your piloting skill?

And the only way they coul
Hemmmmm

I feel like I woke up a second BR. Ok, let's work through this. The main reason why I keep talking about the sensors is because of how Bits work. Specificly remote bits and ECW(Electronic counter warfare).
ECW is something we haven't really seen in game, but it works like a weapon and requires a specific roll depending on the strength of the equipment and a action to do and maintain. Each point of it weakens sensors by a equal amount and when it reaches zero, then you lose the use of remote weapons. This is important because the Nightmare just sent in a remote bit into a no bit zone and it was perfectly fine. The reason I keep poking at it is because that is the only game mechanic we have related to that. They weren't fried. They still functioned as verniers. And it's not a debuff to our stats either which is what the only other example is(which is related to Nukes, that option opens up a bigger can of worms). So mechanic wise, thats the only explanation, and sensors are the major thing targeted for that. Hence why I focused on it.
Bugging the Kaiser is the least likely option because that requires hiding something from Karen on the Kaiser. Thats a one way ticket to being spotted. I do agree that we should look at the machine though. We have 3 samples of that mechanical pod, even if ripped to shreds.
The flamethrower was a gun with incindiary ammo. Not to complicated, but it is something that loses effectiveness quickly. Especially against beta armor.
Finally, the Xray gun is the sort of thing that would very likely not be applicable. For starters, environment pods are honestly, pretty sturdy. So long as they aren't popped, they can handle the nastiness of space which likely includes that radiation. Second, the moment you bring out the super cancer gun, everyone is going to consider you a threat since you are actively going at the pilot. Humanity had taken a nasty hit, and something that is specifically designed to target the person inside indiscriminately is going to grab attention. Not the good type either.
Sides, EMWs are pretty much that one lower armor mechs. Goes right through 4 sp of armor which made it pretty effective on lower level mechs in the tourney.

>>2075769
Thanks that actually does clear it up quite thoroughly.

I agree with you entirely now.

Quick question - when to say the Nightmare had bits, you meant the mech right? I see what you meant by sensors now though. I was thinking of it being a sensor suite and not the communication link between the remote unit and the Nightmare.

The pod big torched each time worries me. AI rumblings.

Regarding the Xray gun I never intended for it to be a super cancer gun. That was just an example of why it's popular in hard sci-fi series which this isn't. They're crazy dangerous because they either go through stuff or they stick to it pretty much. They can also be focused up to a light Second away! Yeah the more I think about it Xray guns are way too fucky.

I also wasn't really know how well EMWS worked so I wasn't sure if soft Xrays would work better since they're relatively easy to pump out. They're just crazy precise invisible lasers really.

Where do you even get the book for this gme? I am getting interested enough to buy it now.

I do appreciate you taking the time to explain what I was misunderstanding. Although I wish you were a little less angry about it.

>I feel like I woke up a second BR
I'm getting very confused by trying to fast read everything as I'm distracted by other things, but even I felt the same when he started typing a wall of text after the other.
I would also like to point out that he is just half-BR, the "IN THE INTERNET I'M A GIRL" anon is the other half that awakened in the same thread.

Now, it seems that I can finnaly rest in peace knowing that my legacy will live on! *snif*

>>2075909
Nah I'm just high as fuck. Grandpa died so I got blasted.

You should really be concerned that you're like this without drugs.

>>2075915
My condolences anon...

>>2075873
Look for the PDF in earlier threads or google it. Its not hard to find the files with some effort. Also less anger and more this is simply my style of talking and typing. Figuring out emotions is difficult on the net after all. Always thought I had a grumpy old man vibe.
Now, as for the cockpit? That always seemed like the control core/operating system for the mecha bit. It is a good deal more complicated than singular limbs and weapons after all so it requiring something more for it makes sense.

>>2075909
>"IN THE INTERNET I'M A GIRL" anon is the other half that awakened in the same thread
I've been shitposting for a long time. I'm pretty sure you've even pointed out how much I shitpost before.

Wong's PC went Satanic again and he had to call in the local Catholic Church.

>>2076230
Time to call in the Techpriests.

>>2076230
He shouldn't have delved so deeply into the tomes of madness

>>2076290
can confirm. Computer has killed itself when designing mechs. Some things man is not meant to know.

>>2076303
I still haven't fixed my tower from when it died after the mecha tourney
Been stuck phone posting for months

>[Pursue the cockpit ball]

Let them revel in their failure.

>>2075936
More curious is what they are protecting in it, in my opinion.

Why waste the space. Blow the power plant instead.

>>2074954
>[Pursue the Cockpit Ball]

I am pretty sure the Nightmare pilot would be thrilled to have us chase him down alone. We're brave, not stupid.

>>2076490
This wasn't a success for him, but it wasn't a failure. We still don't know what's happening on the other side of the smoke.

We're a King. Even more than a knife in the dark we have to worry about our power base being chipped away from under us.

He attacked us while we were with the rest of our elite troops and as prepared for a fight as possible, with only the Nightmare and two Teslas. He successfully cut us off from our forces, engaged us and stopped us cold so if it wasn't for Clemmy and how damn good she is we would have died there. He still took her pretty much out of the fight.

And when it didn't work he was able to retreat not only with his life but with his Mech in good condition and able to take advantage of the situation if we lose our head and go after him. Leaving Clemmy behind and letting the ball escape.

We just saw that his Mech has some unknown capabilities like being able to control his pawns in the Chaff, he might have other tricks. As well we don't know if he has any support nearby that he could escape to. Another pawn Mech or allies or whatever. He could lead us into another ambush.

Or worse, lead us away then come back and kill Clemmy. That would seriously weaken us.

In his position, I'd be pretty okay with how things turned out. There's lots of ways to kill a King, there will be other chances.

On that note, let's be extra careful of that pod. We don't know he's limited to only 1 Pawn, and we have a reputation for sparing the lives of people once the fight is over unless we personally have a grudge. It's not a surprise that we would save the cockpit ball. And hey! Even if there is someone in there blowing it up guarantees we don't get a prisoner to interrogate at the least and hey it might kill us too. This was an Assassination attempt, it's not paranoia when they ARE out to kill you.

>>2075931
Thanks for the condolences. He was old and demented and the last few weeks he was unable to eat or drink water even so you know. I had time to prepare.

>>2075936
I too tend to be a bit vitriolic when I post. It goes over better in person, but I mean I can still choose to read what I write and not be a dick. And yet I still do so I get it.

>>2076490
Oh one other thing. Let's be extra suspicious of whoever we find in the ball. No-one said that the controller had to be in the Nightmare either.

This quest has a running theme of prisoners escaping and sabotaging things.

>>2076588
As I said, it's likely due to complexity. Mechs still require a HMIS to move, and the Kaiser Bits are few due to that complexity. To make a fully functional mech move, it likely requires a dummy system to serve as the relay and reduce stress on the pilot.
>>2076640
I'd honestly beg to differ. In retrospec, that missile would have been worse if the other wives were there as well. Lori uses bits and both Fatimia and Red Siren use beam guns. If they were with us, they would have likely been the true objective.
As for the retreat, it's not as smooth as you think. We now know they work together and have two pilots to interrogate and two types of very unique mechs to look at. This was an attack that will likely not work twice so the confict goes from 'ambushing the king as he tries to rescue his wife and decapitating his nation' to a straight out war. So, when you consider Meridian being dead, the original trap failing, and the loss of California station, a place for manpower, ship building, and supplies, it's going to hurt. Though it's going to hurt the Six big shots more. Pretty sure high treason is a good cause to seize their assets and put them to use.
