As you near the corner of the encampment street, you see Legion chilling out. She’s tossing a magazine back and forth, one hand to the other, as she waits for you.

“Pilot, welcome back. Was dinner satisfactory? I have a theory of our location.”

You take her speech as permission to enter, taking a seat on the cool leather interior. It has air conditioning too, as all Titans are rated for chemical warfare.

“Yes, it was good, way better than those rations we get on the frontlines. Just thinking about them makes me gag, ughh. Anyways, what about that theory?”

“The Fold weapon folds both time and space, therefore not only have we been sent a great distance from Typhon, we may have been sent forwards or backwards in time. Seeing as one thousand years ago humans had not yet breached the atmosphere of Earth, I assume we have been sent forward. While not substantive, this ‘Imperium’ is likely a new human political organization.

“Well, I can’t imagine the IMC suddenly becoming some Imperial state, neither the militia…”

By the way General Castellan mentioned it, he had no worries of its survival, indicating a great period of peace or great strength. Since there are greenskins fighting on this relatively habitable world, I must assume the latter. I estimate that we have been sent at least seven hundred or more years into the future pilot.”

“Huh, the future… It’s a lot shittier than I thought it would be. Where are the VR worlds I was promised? Or that all work would be done by AI? And where is the galactic-internet? This sucks, the future should be awesome, not another warzone…”

“Pilot Jojo, there were studies that indicated that human propensity for violence could lead to tech-fall backs. It is the main reason why much of the technology was made redundant, so humans could rebuild. My estimate could be inaccurate as the catastrophe that could reduce humanity to such low technology, would have to be galactic wide. I cannot predict what that event would be, or if there were multiple.”

“Future is really shitty huh, guess those disaster holovids got it right all along…”

As you finish your theorizing, a PDF officer walks towards Legion, you open the cockpit to hear what he has to say… and to make sure he knows you’re here.

“Sir Jorgenson, we are ending our encampment and are now beginning our march towards Fortress Alexandar, with an estimated travel time of two days. General Castellan wishes you to follow us in your Knight. We shall camp at the end of the day, then continue until we reach the fortress. Is all well?”

“Y-yeah, all’s good. Have a good one mate.”

He blinks in confusion, before turning around and waving you off.

With all the tents, supplies, and war material packed up, the PDF regiment marches onwards, with you and Legion trailing in the behind of the marching column. You could definitely outpace them, but there’s no point, better to arrive all together. As you march, you pass by many idyllic grassy fields, vibrant forests, and even a few farms, farming wheat!

You were not idle in this time were you? What did you do?

Today might be a short session. We will at least meet the Governor by the end of today's session.

So I have an idea people may find interesting.
Behold Metal Storm.
https://youtu.be/AEu9LLQpOF8
This gun can shoot a million rounds per minute but uses caseless ammo to do it. This wouldn’t mean much if it was for the Bolter which also uses caseless ammo. The idea is to combine both to allow us to fire a stream of millions of minirockets to mow our enemies down.

>Chatted with the PDF guys

As you march with the PDF column, you feel a desire to get to know your allies a bit more.

“AT wake me up when the column stops, I want to chat with these grunts.”

“Of course Pilot.”

Soonafter, your wish is granted, with the column stopping to rest, after a good 6 hours of marching, during which you were napping.

“Pilot wake up, the column has come to a halt for rest.”

“6 hours? Thank God I can ride in you AT.”

“Affirmative.”

“...Roger roger, ok got it AT.”

You disembark, heading to what appears to be a gun crew of a large, multi-barrelled laser cannon. You greet them in the only way you know…

“Wassup grunts! I saw you guys pull those greenskins a new one. How fast does that thing fire anyways? What’s its power draw? How long have you been using it? How about its accura-”

The most formal looking of the 5-man crew answers, he seems to be the leader of this bunch.

“Sir Knight, we are more than happy to answer your questions, but please slow down. We personally do not know how fast the multi-las fires, nor its power-draw, nor its true accuracy, although I will tell you that we shoot it as straight as can be. Moreover, we have used the multi-las for nine months, give or take.”

Wow, these guys are green as hell, well not as green as the greenskins.

“Is there a reason you do not know the specifics of your gun? When I was a greenhorn, I polished my R-101 daily, knew it in and out. What gives?”

The man looks visibly confused, not knowing whether to be ashamed or challenged, he simply answers.

“I am the only one of this multi-las team that knows how to read Sir Knight. My heritage as a hiveworlder afforded me that at least, the rest of the team, and the pdf as a whole, are largely tithed farmers or orphans from Ork raids, we do not have the luxury of education here my lord. I myself am called Logan. Even I, who knows how to read, am not taught the specifications of the multi-las, and I fear asking the Engiseer in fear of offending his cult.”

[2/2]
“Cult?”

“The Cult of the Machine God.”

You stare at him in confusion. He continues.

“The Mechanicus? The Adeptus Mechanicus?”

You continue staring. He sighs in frustration.

“Does your world really call them something that different? They are the cult that oversees everything related to machinery. They guard the knowledge closely, so me even asking about the multi-las without good reason can potentially offend them, I don’t want to become a servitor.”

“Y-yeah, we got them. We call em MechGuys, yeah. Also, don’t tell me about servitors, it sounds pretty bad if you become one… Nevermind that, what about the rest of you?”

Within the team, only one other is brave enough to speak to you. He is a freakishly large boy, standing at nearly 7 feet, no younger than 16 years old if his baby-face is any indication.

“My name is Myrmon, my lord. I joined the PDF only a few weeks ago, this was my first combat. Thank ye for providing your aid when we needed ye the most. I only know simply words, so I can’t read too well. Oh, and I load the multi-las with new bat-rees. Dunno what they do, but ”

Is this guy an idiot? Or is this world really that bad? Or is humanity this bad? Nevermind that, what else to ask…

“Pilot, scans indicate that mr. ‘Myrmon’ has a thyroid disorder due to lack of iodine consumption, along with grout on his left foot, additional scans indicate a parasite in his lower-intestinal trac-”

“Uhh, enough AT. I think I get it, this guy is from the middle ages…”

What else do you ask? The top 2 votes will be asked.

>”Not to burst your bubble bro, but you’ve got a parasite, a foot with grout, and a thyroid disorder. You ok bud? I think I got some medicine tucked away on my ‘Knight’.”

>”Can you show me the Multi-Las? This thing looks pretty cool. I won’t tell General Castellan, I promise!” [DC 80, Persuasion check, he’s scared as hell to piss off command]

>Where are y’all from. I come from a world called Harmony, has really cool floating houses, parks, pillars, really- everything floats there, even the water! How are your guys’s homes like?

You give the big lad, Myrmon, a sympathetic look. Well, Titans have all sorts of medicines, hell your Pilot suit has autoinjectors for certain medications in case of trauma. With your fabricator, medicine should not be an issue, but you’d rather get the pre-prepared stuff from the medkit inside AT.

“AT, what does this lad need? Sounds like he’s in pretty bad condition.”

“Running pharmacist subroutine on… Patient ‘Lad’. He requires:

[A double dose of dermal steroid, Iodine supplement, comprehensive multi-vitamin, and one dose of Anthelmintics.]

All of these are available in the Pilot Survival Med-kit.”

“Right… Thanks AT.”

After what looks to be an imaginary conversation inside your helmet, you return to the Multi-Las team, more specifically Myrmon.

”Not to burst your bubble bro, but you’ve got a parasite, a foot with grout, and a thyroid disorder. You ok bud? I think I got some medicine tucked away on my ‘Knight’.”

“Whatz a para-sike? Is it a snake? And wuz a thyroid? You know how to fix my foot?”

“Well, yes, you do have a snake-like thing inside you, it is eating your food before you get to eat it, umm… I don’t know how to explain it, bud. But yes, I can fix your foot, along with your other stuff. Just give me a sec.”

“One. It’s past a sec Sir Knight.”

At this, Logan and the rest of the team visibly cringe, even harder than General Castellan did at your antics. Logan comments,

“Please ignore him Sir, he means no ill, he’s just a bit simple.”

As he says this, you double jump up to Legion, just to style on these primitives. Yet you still feel great empathy and sad cringe when looking at ‘sad lad’ Myrmon. He wasn’t asked to be born simple, nor to have multiple illnesses. Finally, you pull out the survival med-kit and locate the medications and multi-vitamin. With a hop and a skip, you’re back on the ground in front of ‘tall lad’ Myrmon. A few seconds of popping the kit open, unfolding the little plastic cup, filling it with pills and water, you hand it off to Myrmon.

“Take this, you should feel better in a day or two. Remember to eat more fish you mad lad, you had an iodine deficiency. Also, don’t eat random things, parasites ain’t good for you big guy.”

“Ok Boomer”

“Okay Sir Knight, I trust you. Ma always said nobles were good folk.”

“Y-yeah yeah, we’re all smooth around the edges.”

With that, he swallows the prescription, the medicine needing plenty of hours to take effect.

“I don’t feel any different Sir.”

His team again, visibly cringe your valiant attempt at medical charity.

“You will feel better later, trust me lad.”

“Alrighty Sir.”

Feeling the need to change the topic, you ask a question.

”Anyways, where are y’all from. I come from a world called Harmony, has really cool floating houses, parks, pillars, really- everything floats there, even the water! How are your guys’s homes like?”

Logan sounds off first, with unusual pride for someone who comes from a ‘hive’.

“Hive Alphadon, level 243, of Hiveworld Praxis. The living can be tough at times, but we all learned to respect our neighbors and the law. If you had thrones, you could get anything and everything. New Gloria had more opportunity for advancement than the Hive, which is why I came here on a merchant’s ship under contract.”

“Interesting, I’ve always wondered how it’s like to live in uber-populated areas. Sounds like you didn’t have it too bad either.”

At that, three others of the team, all having the build and rough hands that only a farmboy could possess, speak.

“A farm Sir, ‘ard work is all we New Glorians know.”

“A pasture Sir Knight, milk and meat don’t come from nowhere. Comfortable, before the Orks killed my sister. Sad time.”

Ouch, a touchy subject. But he looks pretty unphased, is having siblings die common here?

“A grapevine Sir, love drinking the fine wines. RootGrapes were our speciality. Bubbles your mouth real good, like pop.

With everyone else having spoken, Myrmon takes this as his turn.

“A bigCorn farm. The stalks grow real big, only me and my pa can reach the 10th ear on some of em. We got the breed off of some fancy peddler selling monstaCorn, but we just call it bigCorn. Tastes good, simple as.”

Logan averts his eyes in order to not be associated with Myrmon’s simplicity. You like it though, shows real honesty and dedication, no matter the mind. As you motion to ask another question...

A screeching sound pops off of Logan’s chest, he has some communication device strapped to his chest.

“Alright you maggots! Get back to marching; General Castellan wants to camp within the valley by nightfall!

“Shit, well that’s our command to continue marching, straight from the Vox. I suggest you prepare as well Sir Knight.”

“Y-you too.”

After two days of travel, camping, and travel, you make it to Fortress Alexandar. The name really undersells it, it’s massive, even from this distance. You notice that the Fortress has three levels, one with a fortified keep, elevated in the center, the middle level with much economic activity, and the outer level, housing much of the defenses.

Of significant note is the huge ramp jutting out and over the walls, it looks like a spaceport resides in the lower-levels. If what you’ve seen of the planet so far is any indicator, this is one of the few places a man can get off world. Shuttles launch up one ramp, and return on another. Interestingly, you see much of the shuttles hauling huge cargo containers.

“Scans indicate 73% of the shuttles observed have carried food, animal products, or cash crops. This is likely the main economic activity of this Fortress, if not world.”

“Well, let’s not drag this out, let’s meet the big guy ruling this joint.”

You and AT continue with the PDF column, eventually reaching the gates. As you enter with the column, the gate guards, armed with more advanced variants of the lasguns, eye you curiously.

“I’ve never seen a Knight like that in me life, so blue and flashy.”

“Fjil, you’ve never seen a Knight before, neither have I.”

“Doesn’t mean it ain’t strange, but I’ll me thoughts to me self.”

You have a little giggle at their conversation, loving the audio-enhancement features all Titans come with. After all, how can you hear the battlefield over your weapon of mass-devastation?

As you enter the secondary level, what you presume to be the civilian-sector, technology becomes much more pronounced, with actual cars moving around, and streets! Fortunately, the main street is more than accommodating for your Titan and the near-thousand strong PDF column; the march continues.

Eventually, you reach the ‘keep’ of Fortress Alexandar. There are multiple manned turrets dotting the walls. One tower along the walls stands out, having a communications tower soaring into the sky, reaching an easy 300 meters, it’s definitely the highest thing in the Fortress.

Another gate check, this time by guards in cool, crisp black armor. The armor is distinctly different, giving a hard rocky feel than the soft flak feel the PDF had- these guys are the Royal Guard of the Governor.

Entering, you notice the huge building ahead of you, the largest in the entire castleyard. By now, the PDF have stationed themselves into barracks far downfield, built into the walls. All that is left is you, Castellan, and a token 50 Royal Guards.

“Sir Jorgenson, this way please.” Castellan motions to you.

You follow, still in AT, a war machine over 20 feet tall. The gates are huge, in fact, everything here screams gothic architecture. You enter easily, then are shocked by the huge room ahead. This is the largest hall you have seen in your life, and at the end is an elevated floor with a throne, with who you assume to be Governor Lionus sitting in it. He is surrounded by an entire court of individuals, nearing thirty-or-so people.

What the hell.

“Pilot, please calm your exasperation at this huge hall. Although carbon dating suggests that different segments were made over the years, the oldest being 40 years, indicating that this palace began construction at least 40 years ago.”

“Jesus, what a piece of human ingenuity. This is some real inspired architecture.”

Nearing the throne, after a solid two minutes of walking. You are about 60 meters away from the throne. The man greets you.

“Welcome Sir Jorgenson! I welcome you into my employ, let us find great prestige, wealth, and legend together!”

Well, he seems like a bombastic sort of guy…

Exiting AT, you give her a slap on the hull and hop off. Governor Lionus laughs at the display, yet you see curiosity in his eye when he eyes your armor and Titan.

“Come Sir Knight, let me introduce you to my court! We shall wine and dine, tell stories of battles fought, and discuss the issues of the realm. A grand time!”

Accept his offer?
>Yeah! The future ain’t so bad, I get paid, eat lots of good food, and shoot primitives.
>No! I want to get paid, kill, and sleep. None of this noble crap!

While you ponder the offer, General Castellan makes his way to his lord's side and begins a heated whisper debate with Governor Lionus.

How Chad do you want to be about how you walk to him?
>Jump Jets! SpeedDemon over to him, 70km an hour, then JetBrake. Show him we’re more than just AT!
>The Virgi- I mean Chad walk. Nobles walk all the time right?

“Awesome! You prefer Governor Lionus, Lord Lionus, or just Lionus?”

With your question, he stops his whispered debate with General Castellan. A warm smile rises onto his face, while General Castellan has a look of relief. It appears whatever he said, his worries were assuaged.

“Call me whichever you like Sir Jorgenson, your place among our court is a welcome change of pace, considering your Knightly talents.”

At his friendly tone, you walk a grand total of eight seconds before reaching his elevated floor, passing by dozens of the courtiers. Based on the size of the room, it seems that only the important courtiers are present. The room could comfortably house hundreds with room to run and whisper.

Governor Lionus stands up from his throne, thrusting out his hand. He wants a handshake.

“Come friend, no deal is done until hands are shook!”

Well, you ain’t no pussy. You march up to him, and begin the ‘Militia Classic’ handshake.


---------------------------

You are General Castellan, and you are shocked to say the least. Freeblades are the oddest bunch, your late father’s words on the eccentricities of Freeblades were not unwarranted, they truly are a ‘noble sort of rabble’. Nevertheless, what Sir Jojo has done is nothing but Faux pas, if not for his epic skill at disarming one’s formality.

Sir Jojo has slapped Governor Lionus’s hand up, revolved once, then caught Lionus’s hand as it fell back center. Afterwards, the ‘handshake’ truly began. You could have sworn that the Royal Guards would have opened fire had they not been explicitly ordered to not act without your or the Governor’s orders. Sir Jojo grasped Lionus’s hand firmly, then, using the counterforce of his earlier revolution, revolved Lionus.

Oh dear Emperor, what is going on!

Your dancing skills were truly tested at this moment. Not even the most difficult of ballroom dances had prepared you for the ‘Militia Classic’.

Right foot down, let the left swing around. Keep the right hand out for counterweight, left hand should be kept to the side. Yes, perfection, no ballroom dance could compare to the height of being introduced to a new dance, from another culture no less, the height of a trial by fire.

---------------------------

Aaaaand, boom! The counter-revolution! Lionus spins! You begin the jump-jet assisted breakdance while Governor Lionus is spinning clockwise. Only true Militia pilots can perform the ‘Militia Classic’, there was even a video out there of an IMC pilot attempting it, only to shatter his pelvis! Haha, that was hilarious...

---------------------------

You are an Arch-Magos Technicus, with the name of Vanem. While you detest your ‘reward’, being the highest ranking member of the mechanicus on a world is no small feat, even if it is a backwater that will take dozens, if not hundreds of years to gain significance. Your ‘excessive’ proclamations and theories of machine spirit study left you to be quite detested on the local noosphere of Forge-world Atlas. No matter, you will rise to power, even if it takes you 300 years of waiting for the development of New Gloria. The flesh is weak, Arch-Magi can theoretically live forever if they maintain bi-centurial memory dumps.

Yet today is a day you will never wipe from your memory-cogitators. First, as you appeared to court, as is the custom on weekdays, you heard the Governor speak of a sudden hiring of a wandering freeblade by General Castellan. What he forgot to mention was the unusual build of the Knight-machine, alongside the similarly unusual armor of the Knight himself. Decades of experience stops you from making baseless claims of xenotech or heretek, as the blue lights, sleek design, and ‘human’ touch suggest a different origin: archaeotech, and in excellent condition too…

Whatever happens, you must monopolize the study of this Knight, machine and man, this could lead to the breakthrough you need. This could even potentially ascend you through the ranks, he must be hidden from others of the cult...

What is the Knight doing? He just slapped the Governor’s hand into the air, revolved counter clockwise, only to use his counter-force to spin the Governor clockwise. He moves to breakdance? You have read of this human phenomenon before on the noosphere before your unofficial exile, yet he uses those jets on his waist to great effect, creating 7 times more spins, flips, and hops that are possible for the human body to achieve within the second.

It stirs a strange feeling within you. It’s… cool? Perhaps the emotion regulator needs to be adjusted…

---------------------------

Wohooo, and for your 8th hand spin, you do a ‘Harmony Variation’, pulsing your jets, giving the illusion of levitation. Gosh, you really are badass at this stuff, if the crowds’ faces are any indication.

Finally, the Governor comes back around, just in time for you to intercept his hand, stabilize him, and finish the handshake, upside down. The handshake finishes with the governor blinking many times, eyes wide.

In the execution variation, this would be the point where you snap his arm in half and lobotomize with a grapplehook…

“....”

Silence fills the cavernous hall. A quick flip, and you’re back on your two feet.

---------------------------

You are treasurer Adam, and this must be the best dance performance you have ever witnessed, and you’ve been in some fancy places in your lifetime…

He is a Knight, but dances with the grace of a Space Marine, yet lacking the substantive mass they carry. It is exceedingly apparent, this new Knight is one of great skill if his dancing is any measure.

If his dancing is this good, it makes you wonder if he has any other skills that he may employ in his service, aside from his Knighthood.

Now, only to see the Governor’s reaction…

“Friend Jorgensen— no— friend Jojo, that was an exquisite display of dance and introduction. I see that when General Castellan mentioned your eccentricities, he was honest in his appreciation of your positivity and ability to befriend.”

You, still in the high of the breakdance, respond in the only way you know how— bragging.

“Yeah, yeah, I am a pretty damn good dancer— well with a jumpkit, moving around is dancing. I could teach you some time, I once taught a rookie how to do the beginner variation. This one took me months to pin down…”

He takes it in for a second, before bursting into laughter.

“Hahaha, yes yes, do teach me some time, Friend Jojo. Well, I had planned for a dinner get-together, but it seems my heart cannot take anymore of this tonight. We shall feast on the morrow in occasion of your hiring, with the full court.”

“Awesome, thanks bro.”

“Servant, you with the candles! Please lead Sir Jorgenson to his quarters, he may take the guest house. It should be befitting of his status, along with being capable of storing his Knight.”

“Aight, see you guys tomorrow! And Castellan, thanks for putting in a good word for me!”

“...”

“Right, I’ll be on my way!”

With that, you depart with the servant, and a trio of Royal Guards. AT trails behind you, on an Auto-Titan configuration.

When you arrive at the guest house, well house is an understatement. Tucked in the corner of the Castleyard, the ‘guest house’ should better be named mansion. It has a roofed courtyard, alongside many rooms, its own kitchen, and its own servants. It seems like you’re moving up in the world!

With that, you ‘park’ AT in the roofed courtyard, which seems to be more of a large hall now that you think about it, although the flowing fountain in the center makes you unsure of what to name it.

Returning to the ‘guest suite’, it’s easily the size of a living room, with its own liquor bar. Most important to you though, is the huge bed. You set your armor off, and jump on the bed, your undersuit being pajama-like enough. It’s time to finally sleep in a bed. You’re giddy with excitement for what tomorrow holds.

And unaware of the court politics you just hamfisted and toasted, before firing into a sun.

I will continue tomorrow! Likely in the evening, wow this post took a while to write. Have fun everyone!

It's time to teach him how to be a Techchad.

Did some research on the Titanfall jump drive and found that it has a few problems, namely that it’s fuel intensive and that it needs to spool up for quite some time to travel between stars.

>>4328540

>>4328477
I'm a little disappointed that we didnt throw in "I get to keep what I kill within reason and can negotiation", but i supposed we can do it later. We're fighting orks and they dont tend to have high end stuff. The next time we encounter the orks we could probably utilize the scape to create more specialized munitions, or maybe frag mines the PDF can use.

>>4328477
Can we make a pilot carry personal shield thing?

>>4328723
I think that A-wall fits the bill for that

>>4328723
>>4328746
I think we can afford various personal power fields and shielding systemswith the throne felt we get. Well the bonus.
Acordi g to the old DH rules a plasma gun is around 2k to 3k throne gelt. Vehicle power fields are in the same rarity class, and power fields both personal(backpack sized) and vechicle have and 80% chance to negate any attack. The personal power field is of course a category higher in rarity and other personal shields like conversion fields are even rarer but smaller and have a lower % of negating attacks, but can be hidden on your body as they are the size of a badge.

>>4328549

Good enough?

>>4328817
One warning. DH pricing is a little wonky as is RT. Take it with a grain of salt.

>>4328841
Well yeah. But then again IRL pricing is also wonky. Shit that costs 1$ in one place can cost 50$ in mother as a really extreme case

Or just straight up unavailable. Now add on top of this warp travel and astropathic communications instead of internet and planetary logistics networks backed by the only superpower as well as insurance on the freight and even with the ragnarock proof tech of 40k or BT for that matter and ypi get a similar thing but with harder to arrange for long range delivery

>>4328906
As a rule of thumb, due to New Gloria's location, most things are much rarer.

Here, simply having a nice lasgun and carapace armor puts you as the elite of the elite.
The only one with a conversion field is the Governor, but he was a Hive Noble before he came here.

With Thrones pricing, I will try to make it reasonable, but it's a bit frustration that 40k has no 'one size fits all' solution. Even Thrones are technically a local currency, just widely accepted, with many planets just using their own currencies.

>>4328723
Yeah, if you ever found a conversion field for sale or asked the arch magos to tinker one for you , you could have a personal shield.

Of note is that Pilot armor is on par with peak carapace armor. A Pilot can take multiple 20mm bullets dead center, more if they're grazing (which they almost always are since pilots are speedy madmen.)

I would also be open to you trying to tinker a human sized gunshield. You could also just fabricate an A-Wall projector, throw and forget. A true and tried technology.

>>4328598
While yes, it would have been nice if you asked. No one is going to stop a Knight, especially on a transitioning world, from getting scrap he rightly earned. You could even pay the PDF to collect the scrap, they usually contract scrap collection out to mercenary bands and other contractors since it's too compromising for security if the PDF picks up scrap all day.

>>4328540
>>4328839
Even with the significant fuel draw and spool time, it's safe, leaves you battle ready, and it's damn safe. Its consistency is its strongest strength. Also, while warp travel is a bit faster since it's 'lmao, let's just go to dreamland and say hi to hell', a trader who knows he will have a severe encounter every tenth warp has to undertake severe risk. Moreover, he has to constantly repair his ship, recrew the dead, sanctify the ship, and be paranoid warp shit is going to kill him.

The increased fuel costs are outweighed by the safety, lack of repair costs, and consistency of travel. You could quite literally make a trade route that is only touchable at refuel points.
Of course, this all assumes you either
A: build a ship, likely need help unless you want to become Noah and spend at least a decade building it from scratch with AT.
B: Buy and refurbish a ship, harder than it sounds considering those captains don't know what goes on under those decks either.
C: Blast the schematics of the Jump-Drive, it's supporting theories and science, and a good terabyte of Militia feelgood music; all onto a forge-world's noosphere.
C is a joke, please do not do that, I beg of you.


I will update in around 4 hours, although I am still open to chatting.

>D. Get Asassinated or Politics against far far harder than even the Cullexus by the Navis Nobilitae as we are now an existential threat.

>>4328948
>A-Wall polarization [2 points]
>-A simple modification to the power-wall, the A-wall it generates now vaporizes fools who jump straight into it. Additionally, its constitution has been buffed by half.
Was the A-Wall we picked during character creation for our Titan or was it personnel sized? If we only got the titan sized one that's still pretty groovy. If anything, building a smaller one or even a full body shield shouldnt be too much of an issue if we find the right scrap. This is me being optimistic.

What is a noosphere?

Can we use our bonus to contract a salvage to to get the stuff from the battle 2 days ago, or was it already claimed by the PDF?

An 'A-Wall' is technically all the hard hexagonal shields that are seen in TitanFall. The Gunshield is an A-Wall shaped around the Predator-Cannon, covering the majority of the direction the Titan faces from fire.

There is also a Pilot version of the A-Wall, it is simply a shield wall that is thrown down. Of note is that you can shoot through the A-Wall while others cannot.
Tone, the Titan, also has a Titan sized A-Wall he can throw down.

A-Walls are shields that you can fire through, yet others cannot. The pilot sized ones can take a few Titan shots before collapsing, while the Titan ones are a real tough cookie.

Also, Jumpdrives take longer to recharge the larger the ship gets. Probably the reason why TF2 ships stayed around a kilometer. (also because they had a huge resource shortage and lack of shipbuilding infrastructure.)
Also, I think bigger Jump-Drives mean bigger distance traveled in one 'jump' as well, so size does have its advantages, despite the huge fuel costs.

Of special note is that Jump-Drives can be put onto smaller craft, such as a dropship. It can jump from atmosphere to space.

>>4328948
>>4328981
One last detail on fuel. It possibly uses negative matter which means refueling is an issue too.
Another detail is that the jump drive spool-to-distance ratio is seemingly 1000km per second ignoring time taken for course corrections. My source for this is the multiplayer.

>>4329032
Hmmm, well. I'll have to crunch the numbers sometime. There's not too much info in the lore about jump-drives.
For fuel, I would declare promethium as a chemical precursor to negative matter. You would likely need a chemical plant on the ship to convert the fuel.

>>4328981
One could argue that TF2 Jump-drives do not suffer from extended voyage in the warp, and the increased fuel/recharge is the reason for it; be it that something akin to but stronger than a gellar field keeps the ship safer, or just less time is spent in the warp for speed/acceleration reasons.

>>4329072
https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfall/comments/45amws/the_science_of_titanfall_fasterthanlight_travel/
Reddit has already done it for you.

>>4329098
Jump drives don’t work like that. They function by moving space around them to jump so they never actually enter the warp.

>>4329072
I like the potential for warp travel that WONT RISK CORRUPTING the Titan Waifu.

>>4329107
Neat

>>4329110
Between slower travel and expenses with fuel, my money is on FTL. Warp fuckery during warp travel sucks. You can get lost and possibly suffer a demonic incursion.
>also the qm isnt outright shooting down the potential for FTL so it looks more promising.

>>4329098
>>4329124
>>4329107
If it uses the warp it is still dangerous. There are backpack teleporters that can teleport you some 100m to a few km, but are considered last resort as demons and warpshot can still fucm you up and you have no gellar field. The best explanation is that the warp was calmer in TF/TF2 if of uses the warp or is way slower than warp engines and is non warp(ancient humans had shittier non warp FTL)
Warp engines in Rogue trader are a good baseline.
Strellov is the standard and you roll warp encounters every 5days. In the warp.
Miroslav is crusade era, considered borderline heretical due to bad warp harmonics but still in use, is twice as fast but warp encounter every 3 days,
Some other fast warp drive also with starting with M that is 1d5 weeks for escorts and transports/1d5 days + navigator succeses faster and no downside except needing more power and space,
Then there is a safer one that is twice as slow but has +20 on warp encounters, guaranteeing that the two worst encounters are I'm
possible and also has +10% chance to chose the exit
And another 'experimental' warp drive that functions almost like the strelov with a common competence navigator type roll, does not do all the nav rolls that can help you out if i recall corectly but can not use a navigator as the design lacks the faciloties for it so no navigator rolls if you have one that is vastly better that the navis nobilite has managed to get stuck in perpetual testing phase because it is 'unsafe', 'improperly tested' etc.

At any rate, if you get a ship allways fit it out with a warpsbame hull as that gets you a +10 on warp encounter rolls, and two rolls that you get to pick the result of/narative is I think it trys to get you the beast outcome possible.

>>4329107
Thanks, this is actually very useful.

By that post, we can assume that the distance a ship can jump at once is based off of time spooling and the size of the jump drive itself. With some ships taking days to charge for system to system jumps, we can assume that the 'travel time' of TF2 jump drives is based off of time charging, with only a little bit of time 'unwarping' and spooling down.

I would imagine, with a ~1km frigate, you would need a days worth of charging to jump to a nearby system.

On the other hand, at ~30km mega-tanker would rely on very long jumps, taking a week at a time, but would jump many, many more times the distance the frigate could in one jump.

Also, fuel economy would play into this. While a battleship would likely theoretically able to make really long jumps, fuel capacity would force it to either rely on short jumps, or long jumps with frequent refueling.

Of course, this is assuming you actually get a sizable ship, along with all the work needed to make a jump-drive. Cool to think about though.

>>4329137
What 40k means by 'warp' and what 'warping' actually is are very different.

40k 'warps' not by bending space behind and infront of the ship, but by instead heading into the 'warp', the nightmarish dreamland where daemons reside, but where time and space are, well 'warped', thus moving much faster relative to real space.

What we today, and TF2, mean by 'warp' is simply bending space in the back and front of the spaceship to circumvent the speed limit, which is the speed of light. Thus, you can move really large distances, while remaining in real space. Of course, this is really energy intensive, which is why TF2 uses 'jump' drives, where it is done for short periods of time.

>>4329140
FTL still ain't so bad. I mean if you have to sit in some place for a week before insta space teleporting to your destination, then that's 1 week you get to sit around and craft.

>>4329137
If it uses the warp it wouldn’t even be usable. A better explanation is that the Jump drive was common use for a while then got phased out by the warp drive since it’s cheaper and was just as reliable people often forget that warp drive that can fit on ships smaller than ships 1 km do exist along with non-warp FTL communication but the Age of Strife is the reason they aren’t a thing anymore

>>4329151
https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Warp-Drive
I see. I guess FTL and war travel has its ups and downs. If we ever get a Navigator buddy, then perhaps a good work around would be to give a ship a Warp Drive and FTL Engine, with the FTL device used for mostly emergencies if we get trapped within a system due to warp storms. The FTL will bypass the warp, then we can continue on our way on the other side.

>>4329140
How about Star Sector warp mechanics?

>>4329169
What's that?

>>4329181
basically the same as the 40k warp mechanic, except that you use antimatter to travel in the hyperspace/warp and once you run out of it you get dragged into the nearest gravity well (which tends to be a sun or a black hole)
https://starsector.fandom.com/wiki/Hyperspace

>>4329169
I am familiar with Star Sector, but I think that's a very different mode of travel. That's going into the 'hyperspace' dimension and traveling through that.

JumpDrive is good old advanced FTL, with a lot of asterisks.

'Warp' is good old advanced alternate dimension FTL, that used to be fine, even faster than jump drives, but is now a nightmare due to the demons, dark gods, and Dark Eldar raiders; that inhabit it.

Also, expect an update ~1 hour.

>>4329167
This. Without a Navis Nobilitae backing any FTL anything is doomed to get politically shitcanned, luckily most chartist captains can't afford a navigator and the ones they could afford are not fully trained and the houses would not let those do anything before they are ready.

But if we can somehow make them somehow invested in this as well, like aforementioned warp storm and shadow I the warp hive fleet thing escape, as we will only be able to make a few and we will most likely have to follow guild law and not IP law( thus trade secrets and not licencing) they could be interested, especially if it is a particularly militant or exploration house closely associated with going into dangerous warp shit and have also a forge world partner through say a magus level cogbro and a inquisitor faction(xenos focusing on tyranids or mallus)... Maybe we could pull it off as specialist equipment.

If we could do it we will be swimming in money and connections, enough maybe that if we don't spread it too far most nobility houses won't actively move against us, but most would still like to see us dead on principle. Rememner, psykers are mutants and most humans ant them dead. Navigators manage to avoid that and be filth rich because they are that important to reliable long range travel. Anything that could fuck that up is going to be considered an existential threat to them.

>>4329242
Just one problem. You are assuming they will act rationally (they won’t) and are operating from a position of weakness rather than an equal or superior while showing you could potentially replace them.

>>4329312
Yeah its pretty much the best potential outcome possible and even that needs three supporting agencies basically.

The night goes smoothly, with you getting the first decent rest in weeks. Typhon wasn’t a place to nap well, and the marching column wasn’t good either, not that AT is bad or anything, but there’s only so much simulated night you can take within the cockpit.

Getting out of your huge bed, you head to the bathroom. On the countertop, next to the sink, is a note, it reads:

“Sir Jorgenson, we— the humble servants of the guest house— have prepared hygiene products here for your usage. We know not your customs, yet as is the custom of Governor Lionus, we have left you toothpaste, shaving gel, razors, and various shower-products. If something is amiss or you desire a different product, please notify any Guest-House servant, we are here to see to your needs.”

Huh, is this what it’s like to be rich? Maybe this whole ‘noble’ gig is just the universe giving you backpay for all the work you’ve done in the Militia. You once heard some Core-World immigrant say something about ‘karma’, was a bunch of rubbish, but maybe he got some stuff right?

Oh, there’s also a little after-script at the end…

“Also, breakfast will be prepared at the notice of the vox next to the refrigerator; all you need to do is press it and speak your request. Of course, if you prefer cooking your own breakfast, you are welcome to utilize the suite’s kitchen.”

Heh, it just gets better...

---------------------------

A quick shower, using the fanciest shampoo you could find, ‘Ultra-gloss, fine, light shampoo’, you feel like a million bucks. All you got on the Militia ships were pressurized water showers, set to five seconds for maximum cleanliness.

Putting your Pilot undersuit back on, you head over to the living room again. You put on your Pilot suit, ignoring all the beeps and vibrations that calibrations conduct. A minute later, heading to the kitchen with your helmet held in your offhand, you vox the kitchen staff for some grub.

“Scrambled eggs, lots of vegetables, meat, and whatever tastes good bro. And mushrooms, don’t forget about those either!”

“Y-yes, Sir Jorgenson. It will be done. Food will be up within a few minutes. We hope you shall enjoy it.”

“Yeah, love me some good eggs… mmmm”

“...”

Suddenly, the vox call ends. Sheesh, these guys are way too uptight.

With that out of the way, you place your helmet down onto the countertop island, heh, what a fancy suite. Naturally, you place your Jump-Kit on the countertop as well, this thing is precious. The helmet screeches to life, only one person knowing your frequency and IFF codes…

“Pilot Jojo, good morning. I hope you slept well.”

“Hell yeah. Got myself a jumbo bed, or whatever those rich guys call em. I’m a noble now, I am Sir Jorgenson.”

“Yes, well Sir Pilot Jorgenson, from the audio I picked up yesterday, you are supposed to meet the court for a brunch at noon, within the Royal Hall. The sun is currently rising, therefore you have much time left until then. I estimate, based off of the days marching, each day has 20 hours, give or take thirty minutes.”

“Ooo, interesting.”

“And thus, you have four hours until the court brunch. What is my mission today? And what shall you do?”

As she finishes, a knock is heard from the door to the suite, which leads into the kitchen.

“Sir Jorgenson, breakfast is here. We also brought juices and toast!”

“Y-yes come in lads!”

A quick justle of the lock, and the door opens. Two servants, one an older gentleman, and the second an even older lady, wheel in your breakfast. The plate is covered by a metal covering, likely to preserve the heat and flavor. They transfer the meal onto the dining table, uncover the scrambled eggs, place three glasses of multi-colored juices, and a small platelet of rich brown toast.

It looks pretty good!

“We shall now bid our leave, Sir Jorgenson.”

“Ah yes, I dismiss yeeeee.”

They stare in confusion for a second, before sighing and leaving you to your delicious breakfast.

Maybe once we improve our pilot protection rating (build Militia / IMA tier conversion fields) so we can take a dozen direct 20mm shots, and upgrade AT's core so she's more effective when independent from us, we can do some sick as hell tag team action.

>>4329386
I want to point out that in the game the Player is able to punch people and robots, really, REALLY fucking hard. So hard that they're sent flying. Can we do that?

Regeneration is all around useful regardless of what you need besides the QM is starting us on a tutorial mode for now.

One thing to remebre, even free blades have sacristians following them, sacristians are tech priest from the same house basically sworn to maintain and repair a knight. That we don't have than means we are on some hard times or something very screwy happened. Others might not know this but a knowledgeable tech priest would...

Pilots have some of the best physicians on the frontier treat them. Jojo has had calcium supplements and medically administered bone density-enhancers so that he may punch, kick, choke, or grandslam people, really really hard.

While he has the standard dosage combat stims afforded by his pilot suit, most of the force behind punches and kicks come from the jumpkit assisting, adding much more velocity to attacks. Also, when you're flying at 70km/h, a flying knee is going to kill.

>>4329436
Regeneration would be pretty damn hard to do considering it is a black-market initiative headed by the Advocate. It's advanced, even by TF2 standards. They upload your mind into a backup as data, then wipe your brain clean of all useless junk, then re-upload you back into your brain.

>>4329539
Technically is being very very generous about. If you mean the rejuvenation process I don't think the benefits are the same as TF2 Regeneration. I am going to assume you're referring to rejuvenation, but feel free to correct me. Rejuvenation as far as I know makes you kinda younger, plus some scars as a sign of the medical process. Regeneration is kinda the same except you have to relearn mostly everything as the drawback, with the benefit being you get a newer better body in addition to learning things faster with each consecutive generation of the procedure.

The only snag is the Suit Ai.
Unless and until we can masquarade it as a macjine spirit it is a bad idea to get a Techpriest to fuck about with the computer or have its presence known.
The sad part is that knowledge of Abominable Intelligence is hard to get and inquiring about AI would be a faux pass that might get us killed if we are not heavily robophobic, hell even then.
Some of the older Ark Mechanicus (flagship exploration battleships of the mechanicus) have AIs who have successfully masquaraded as machine spirits and may have partially become one... but that is a capital ship grade AI inside a spaceborne temple of the highest order of holiness to the mechanicus. A knight, even a archeotech knight just does not compare unfortunately in awe, reverence and deference of the cult towards it nor is the AI of the same magnitude of capability to pull it off.

By the Treaty of Mars, the thing that joined the Mechanicus to the Imperium, it is a holy duty of the Mechanicus to eradicate any Abominable Intelligence/ Silica Animus and to dabble in it or consort with one, one of the higher orders of heresies.

>>4329608
If had taken Regeneration we could blame literally anything on amnesia because of lost technology, best part being there is an actual precedent with one of the archaeotech ships actually mind wiping someone.

Please tell me if I miscounted. If so, I'll just include the thing that would have been accidentally dropped. But I think I counted them up well.

This will be the last update for today, I'll get the update out sometime today. the big court debut will wait for tomorrow.

Oh and forgot.

>>4329774
Sure. What reasons does Jojo have to not do that, that he's aware of?

>>4329780
>proving a negative
So you gave up on your argument now did you?

>>4329813
No? All I'm saying is that, to Jojo's knowledge, there is no reason for him to not make medicine for the pdf.

>>4329824
Jojo has no reason to make medicine for the PDF anyway, unless you are saying he volunteered for charity work and aid relief on his off time back in his own universe?

>>4329770
this >>4329774
also there are waaay to many PDF for us to cover

>>4329824
Actually there are reasons for him not to. Most pertaining to his intelligence and the fact he realizes he’s in the galactic dark ages (but doesn’t realize how bad it is). People are using trench warfare over the vastly superior Titan for fuck sakes. Why would we decide to reveal the crazy bullshit now instead of waiting until after hitting the history books to decide?

>>4329833
>>4329834
It would be a nice token effort the pdf would appreciate. Sure, we wouldn't be able to treat all of them because there are probably a million of them on this planet, but them seeing the knight caring for the little guy might paint us in an even better image?

>>4329843
There's also no reason why not to.

>>4329780
I think he is not that overly selfless. Jojo is good guy, and will help a dude that he sees before him, but after getting into the castle, I don't think his first priority will be 3d-printing meds for everyone. But maybe later, when he will learn in what state local PDF really are, he will try to make some changes. Maybe

>>4329843
>>4329847
>>4329852
I say we give the poor meds at intervals. Such as one dude this day and another the next.

>>4329859
later. we still need to learn that there is a ban against AIs that will put us in the chopping block as fast as we can run.

>>4329859
I say we wait on the charity. We have the library, the court politics, the suspicious tech-priest, and the actual job to worry about

>>4329865
yeah, this. one thing at the time

>>4329865
>>4329871
Yes we shall do so at a later date.

>>4329847
A better image than cutting down entire sections of the orkish menace, then proceeding to completely fuck our political situation?

Yeah, there is absolutely no gain to be made there from an OOC standpoint and IC Jojo is too stupid to think of the suffering footsloggers.

>>4329865
Making meds and having an AI are kinda two different bags.

>>4329908
>then proceeding to completely fuck our political situation
our political situation is out there in atmosphere traveling at 54365km a second after our introduction to the planetary gov.

>>4329918
I'm pretty sure the usual way to say "fucked beyond repair" is "Our standing is that low, our feet are peeking our on the other side of the planet."

>>4329918
>Making meds and having an AI are kinda two different bags.
sure, but making meds requires us to scan people for diseases we can treat and then make medicine for said people. like i said before, we aren't a charity and we have more important things to do at the moment.

>>4329926
A fair point, but people like free things. Should we charge to Governor?

>>4329932
after we learn about the world and the things that can directly or indirectly kill us.

>>4329926
You’re better off printing a manual on general health and handing that out.

>>4329934
So long as we do get around making medications, I'm down for almost anything. Imperial Guard life can suck. Dicks out for those guys.

>>4329935
One poblem.
Some if not most might not know how to read. Like that one heavy weapons team manning the multilas. Out of the entire crew, only one knew how to read. It's not a bad idea though. Perhaps some designated literate people per squad could be responsible to making sure others don't eats a fist full of calcium tablets.

>>4329935
Yeah. Maybe a small manual or pamphlet to distribute among the men and women?

Or maybe a manual isn't needed, and more a problem due to lack of supplies and funding to the PDF. That's probably the issue.

>>4329948
Why not actually address the actual problem then instead of pretending to with your medicine handouts? Or just admit you can’t fix some problems and move on.

>>4329958
What do you mean? We can totally hand out medical prescriptions like what we just a while ago with the 7ft tall guardsman, but we can also look into the guardsmen treatment problem. Later.

>>4330019
Handing out free medicine doesn't fix the illiteracy, bad food, horrible housing and culture

>>4330034
You're very much right, but at the least it would solve the immediate issue. We're already making some efforts by killing the orks, which a part of their problems in the long run. Kill the orks and maybe we could persuade or suggest to the Governor bro, "hey, maybe you should help out these guard bros and stuff."

>>4330019
You want to play doctor with the guardsmen for the rest of our character’s life? Fuck off.
Nothing you do here is going to have any lasting impact. All of them (with only a few exceptions) will die and your efforts wasted just so you could pretend you fixed something in the eternal meatgrinder that is the Imperial Guard with your shitty patch job.

>>4330048
This is so disgustingly naive it hurts. The guardsmen you see are like a drop in an ocean. Why would they care enough to make sure they are perfectly healthy when are so easily replace? You are literally trying to argue against the “cogs in the machine” mentality when it’s a necessary fact of life.

>>4330052
>Fuck off.
Why so hostile? I never suggested Jojo play doctor for the rest of his natural life. Only that he help, maybe a few hundred by offering advice and prescribing some medication? It's not much to ask for. I figured it would be too much of an issue to order a hundred so guys to stand in a line while Pilot Jojo walked down the line of guardsmen like a barcode scanner. It would take a few minutes tops, then we'd AT to start making the drugs in addition to sorting them out to different piles, then having a list of all the scanned guardsmen's names so the appropriate meds can go to the right people. After the guardsmen scanning we'd be free to pursue whatever we wanted, while leaving AT to utilize our collective time productively by making medications?

I have no doubts that most of the people will help today will die tomorrow, but just the fact we were (should people agree to helping a few hundred guardsmen, but I don't think that's likely at this point), baring the rarity of one or two, but I think it might leave a long lasting impact with the rest of the PDF, or at least other regiments. Doing so might improve their opinions of us. Is the opinions of the average guardsmens worth anything or desirable? Debatable, but not really of any great importance or value. It's still nice to help them though.

>>4330071
Doing something kinda "noblebright" can't be all too terrible, right? I get the guardmen are disposable and die by the millions, but it kinda sucks not to do anything to help them out. Guardsmen are cool dudes. Except the ones in penal legions. Most are in there for a good reason.

>>4330072
The problem is that would confirm we have access to archeo-tech capable of scanning en-masse and fabricating advanced medicine. That is a BAD IDEA because once word of that gets out we'll have AdMech hunting us down and we don't have a political base independent of our Titan, let alone a spaceship capable of bailing. I think the best thing to do is lay low, upgrade our Titan, and keep the governor happy until we can get some context for where/when we are and start accumulating enough personal power we won't have to worry about anything short of a minor Crusade. I agree the situation is shit and shit's fucked, but the best thing to do about that is ensure our continued survival so we can carve out a utopian pocket empire later on.

>>4330093
first lets get ourselves settled into this new world AND THEN we see what can we do to make like of our soldier brethren a bit better

>>4330094
But doesn't that one tech priest that's a part of Governor Lionus's court already know that we possess archiotech? Is he gonna be a problem?
You do bring up very reasonable points, so I'll concede on the whole medicine making thing for now. The prospect of upgrading AT is very appealing. Especially if we can upgrade her core for the Assault Core mod, and maybe some independent firing shoulder turrets.

>>4330101
Right right right. Imperial guard life sucks, but maybe I am pushing for the meds too prematurely.

>>4329776
Was that a yes or no to paying a salvage team to claim the four trukz, few hundred lootz on the warboyz, and stuff on the warboss?

>>4330072
> Why so hostile? I never suggested Jojo play doctor for the rest of his natural life . Only that he help, maybe a few hundred by offering advice and prescribing some medication?
Because I like doing things that have actual impact and find the “else” offensive. Why do an inconsequential action when we could do something with weight behind it? Now it’s clear we’ve been arguing fundamentally different viewpoints.
> I have no doubts that most of the people will help today will die tomorrow, but just the fact we were (should people agree to helping a few hundred guardsmen, but I don't think that's likely at this point), baring the rarity of one or two, but I think it might leave a long lasting impact with the rest of the PDF, or at least other regiments. Doing so might improve their opinions of us.
An even bigger problem is your viewpoint is backed up by flawed logic. Why would it have any impact on our reputation if they all die? Hell why do you think we’ll magically be rewarded for some pointless act of altruism in 40k?

>>4330138
They won't die imminently, and the improving their health might improve the odds of them spontaneously exploding if only a fraction. Eh, it's something to think about later.

Yes, with one of these actions, you could have asked around for it.
Additionally, in the upcoming court debut, you can ask Castellan or others of the ruling circle about it.

Also, I love the debate so far. 40k is messed up in the sort of 'no good deed goes unpunished' vibe. Try to help people? 'Oh this guy has valuable stuff, can we gank him and loot his corpse?'

One another note, I am gonna try the draw feature, otherwise I will have to use another way to make maps.

>Practice Wall-Running! All this SLOW movement is wearing us down. Also, we get to show off our cool-as-hell skills! The Keep’s walls should do fine, maybe if we do really well, we could show off in the city… [Roll d100 +70, You will definitely impress some folk. You might find some more insight in how you can move in this foreign Fortress? City? Strange times...]

New day, new opportunities; finishing the last scramble of eggs, along with a good slurp of the ‘juice’, you don your helmet and jumpkit, becoming whole again. Like any good human being (who also has years of rote military training ingrained within him), the dishes go into the sink, to be cleaned later.

A stretch, rolling out the legs, and a good neck crack. You’re good to go! Now, being in the future is no excuse to not fall back into your exercise routine. A Pilot is the sum of his training afterall!

“AT, I’m going for a jog, please watch the house.”

“Affirmative, new mission, engaging protocol 2.”

“Thanks love.”

“... Affirmative.”

With that, you burst out of the suite, in full body gear. You walk towards the exit, with your ‘walk’ turning into a run. Speed is a Pilot’s domain! You’ve been too slow these past few days!

“Sir Jorgenson, where in the Emperor are you heading to!”

Uhh, shit, this looks a bit awkward, at least by the way his face is alight with shock.

“I’m going for a jog! I’ll be back within the hour, probably at whatever constitutes a shooting range around here.”

“...Yes Sir Knight, I wish you luck then.”

“Y-yeah, you too mate.”

With that, you end up in the castle yard, only to realize that you need actual walls to run on.

Well, the closest wall is to your left, so you make do. Like barbarians of old, and now possibly new now that you think about it, you scale the walls. A sudden transition, a boost from the jump jet, and you’re flying, going at a respectable 43 km/h. It takes a good two minutes before you reach the corner, where the Royal Barracks are located.

The Royal Barracks appears to be a three story building, though its true size comes from its width, being as long as a mall. It’s ‘L’ shape gives it a certain feudal feeling, along with its angular slanted roof, yet it is evident that its construction is of modern make.

“Pilot, assuming bunk-beds and communal amenities, this barracks should be able to field an estimated 5,000 men. This estimate does not take into account the possibility of underground levels.”

“Ah, thanks AT.”

Well, no time like the present. You hop onto the roof, sliding to maintain your speed. The slide consists of many seconds, the whole length of the building being slid, with a sharp turn being done where the building juts out in its signature ‘L’ shape.

As you near the end, you pop a gravity star at the edge of the roof, timing it to burst (the things are mainly harmless, besides the concussions!) as you pass by.

You go fast. 108km/h fast, if your speedometer reads correctly. A pilot zips through the air, creating a subtle roar in the air, parting it forcefully.

As you land onto the grass, your legs collapse, knees going forward— you’re performing a slide. A half second of burning grass and you hop again, with a double jump afforded by the jump jets keeping you in the air longer. While it’s an awesome feeling to slide, friction is the bane of all pilots. Moving onwards, you want to get at least two laps of the compound, stretch out those muscles. A Pilot’s body is as important as his… mind? coolness? sobriety? errrr…. yeah his mind…

---------------------------

>Roll 1d100+70? No, because QM forgot to actually ask for rolls. Therefore, auto-excellent success.

You are Jorgg, longtime veteran of the Royal Guard, those who guard the Governor’s life and do his bidding when no others can be trusted to. Your father came from a Hive-World as a carryover of, at the time, nobleman Lionus’s personal security forces. As he came to his newly bought world, he naturally took his soldiers along with him. You were simply born into this life, from father to son. By the Emperor, you even get a good education here, although you often question why your commanding officer is also your teacher. Nevertheless, perhaps they try to groom homegrown officers now? A lack of offworlders to lead? You do not know such things unfortunately, but you might one day move up the ranks…

What in the name of the Holy Emperor, he who rules from Holy Terra and the Holy Golden Throne? Is that Sir Jorgenson? That servant from the Guest House said he’d be going for a run, not… this!

He’s using the strange contraption attached to his waist to maneuver expertly on the Keep’s walls, then sliding across the roof of our Royal Barracks. And… he threw some bomb? Grenade? Bladed Star? It’s sucking in all the air around it, and giving off a strange blue hue, all while giving a buzzing whirling sound. You think they talked about this in class, ‘gravity’, but what is it doing here? So blatantly? And why is Sir Jorgenson heading into it, dear Emperor…

He’s flying. It is no understatement, or Emperor strike me down as I stand. Moreover, as he, in the great distance, reaches the verdant grass, he slides. But a quarter moment later, he flings himself into the air with the help of his blue jets. He flies again, crossing an enormous distance… By the Emperor, how is it possible for a man to move that fast? Is this the level of Noble Knights? So far removed from the common soldier that exercise is legend?

These are strange times we live in. You have a feeling that Sir Jorgenson’s legend has only just begun…

---------------------------

“And…. time!”

“Seven minutes and twenty-three seconds. Please do not fool around during time trials, they will hurt your career average.”

“My career average? Shit, even in the future, I still got to stack against the rankings…”

“Pilot, you still have one more lap to do. On my mark, ready, set… Go!”

With that, you begin your second lap. Yet this time, you begin with the gravity star, accelerating you to your preferred 100+km/hr speeds. As you near the corner, you skip the roof all together, instead performing your turn by soaring over it, in one hop. Now, just to finish the rest of the track… a slidehop here… another gravity star there…

“Six minutes and fifty-nine seconds. Better, this will improve your average pilot. Good job.”

“Thanks AT, nearly twisted my spine on one of those turns.”

“If such an event ever occurred, pharmaceutical-enhanced physical therapy should suffice in your theoretical recovery.”

“.. yeah, ok…”

---------------------------

By the Emperor and his Primarchs, he was blurring in your vision. What kind of training has Sir Jorgenson gone through? Is he a hundred year old Knight? He moves with such veterancy that it’s unreal. Perhaps you should lose a bit of the belly fat, the sergeant was giving you hell for it. Mayhaps you’ve gotten too comfortable as a Royal Guard. To even reach one one-hundredth of Sir Jorgenson’s ability, you must overcome all adversity! You will train not twice, not thrice, but quince times harder! If the looks of your peers are true, then they too must be inspired by Sir Jorgenson’s legendary speed. He is a Knight of speed, a Speed-Knight!

[Unofficial title ‘Speed-Knight’ gained. ++Rep among the Royal Guard. +Effectiveness of the Royal Guard as they are inspired, morale is upheld.]

---------------------------

Ahahahaaaaa, I think I twisted my back out a little with that one.

Now, to get to that shooting range? Training range? It had targets when I passed by, so that’s gotta be where the shooting happens!

Aww… it’s like on the other corner of the castle yard, well who’s to deny you a half-lap cooldown…

Roll 1d100+70 [Pilots aim pretty damn well, you are no slouch.] Bo3. Show em what you can do space cowboy.

I grow more convinced he is just leroy jenkins but an army man

We should try to turn our Titan mech into a Hawken mech.

>>4331253
You have a specific example of an Hawken Mech you had in mind? All the ones I saw had no arms, which is a major turn off to me. No arms means you can't pummel the life out of your enemies with the torque power of future alablative steel fists, nor can you grab your pilot, throw trucks, utilize the predator cannon, or grab a titan by the ankles to beat another titan.

The idea of adding thrusters to AT for additional three dimensional movement is appealing however. We only need to find the right circumstance and materials to modify her to the point she can sustain brief jumps or more. Like in Battletech, where you have the option to fall on top of another mech, or kick them in the head.

>>4331270
The biggest difference is Hawken mechs have speed and repair drones.
Maybe we could make our mech more modular. The Emperor knows we’ll need it.

>>4331301
So do the closest thing to that by making some spare batteries to replace AT's shields if they're depleted, upgrade her shields so they start regenerating over time, and give her the ability to dash +1 more times? Did you mean repair drones for in or out of combat? We could probably get away with the drones if we had our own warehouse to work on AT in piece.

>>4331253
but hawken mechs are worse in every aspect than a titanfall mech. the main advantage they have is that they can self repair, but that's it.

>>4331349
Fair enough.

>58+70 = 128, the Royal Guards are stunned, even if this is 'average' shooting for a pilot.

Writing, expect the update 1-2 hours from now. Gotta walk my dog and do some housework.

>>4331349
The main reason why Titans are limited is that they either
A: Get wrecked and need to be rebuilt quickly.
B: It is uneconomical to make a kitted out 'Pro'Titan, instead of 3 specialized Titans. Resources were scarce on the frontier.
C:Titans were a still ever-evolving field of technology. Many of the Titans on the field, such as the scorch, were initially refits of civilian models. The lack of interchangeable parts makes customization difficult. Of course, with a modded fabricator, you can fit them to Legion specifically.

So, with enough time, do-it-yourself research, and metal, you could add new modules. Ork scrap is likely not the best material, but it would do.

>>4331463
If ork salvage is not good enough for high end crafting, then would "simple" targeting assist drones, specialized ammo, RC bomb drones, claymores, and additional bolt on disposable armor plates be viable?

File: maintenence drone.jpg (9 KB, 340x191)

>>4331536
You can make laser lance or plasma drones, as those are standardized models.

Any other kind of specialized drone would need to be researched first. In simple terms, you can craft most components, you just don't know how to put advanced stuff together outside of standardized designs. The R101 assault rifle is a standardized design. The plasma drone is a standardized design. A do-it-yourself recon drone is not a standardized design, although it would be pretty simple to jury-rig one if you took the time to research with your components at hand.
(You also have the design for a maintenance drone, which could serve as a good base for a construction or spy drone.)

I am still hashing out your tech knowledge. For now, if it's a standard unit employed by the Militia, you likely know how to make it. Otherwise, you will need to jury-rig one.

I'm so glad we went with Intelligence, that's a must-have.

>>4331545
And thus we took all the the scrap from the orks and made a sea of maintenance drones. Near infinite repairs were had.

>>4331536
Also, disposable armor plates should work, but will make Legion a lot more bulkier, slower, and less balanced.

>>4331551
>Makes the Admech obsolete with an army of repair drones, working as quick as a pep-crew with repairs.

>>4331550
Same. We really need to put some research points into regeneration. That stuff will extent life expectancy and make you overall better. Not to mention the potential cyber and wet ware that can be installed in the future.

>>4331567
Then . . . how about . . . a big ass box belt feed high explosive 20mm HEI?

>>4331600
A that point, it would be better to modify the system in place to be phase-assisted. During the Smart-Core, bullets are directly teleported into the magazine, at high power cost.

If you got more power, then perhaps you could have the system work 24/7.

HEI is possible, but you got to research.

>>4331545
So we could make a Vanguard?

>>4331667
We could, by why should we do that when we already have the best titan in the world?

>>4331691
What competition does it have?
Also I think Legion is a bit overrated to be honest.

>>4331704
Papa Scorch is pretty good, as is a proper Monarch build, I've found.

>>4331704
What does competition have to do with anything? We can't exactly pilot two titans at a time yet unless we develop some kind of advanced AI that's smart enough to mini social ques it's mistaken for someone piloting it.

>>4331708
Regarding Scorch lore, it was a fire fighter civilian titan converted for combat wasn't it? I heard he was the most effective for killing grunts for those AI matches. We could probably add additional features to AT to she's on par with or greater than an Apex Monarch.

Hello Pilots, sorry for the late update. I started writing, then had to do some stuff.

Gonna power through the rest of the stuff now.

>>4331708
I think Ronin and Northstar are more interesting

>>4331734
Aight.

>>4331736
They are pretty damn cool, but Legion's got a higher survivability rating in my book. Big cannon good for short to long range, high armor and shields, gun shields, auto aim, good at mowing down big targets or hordes of enemies both on group or flying. There is the issue of lack of speed compared to the other two.

So fellahs. It's confirmed that, given if we have the materials or are willing to make some shortcuts, we can make standardized model things. Like maintenance drones (which could serve as a good base for a construction or spy drone), laser lance or plasma drones, medications, Militia laser guns, and a bunch other things I forgot about. When we have the time, what should we make?

>58+70 = 128, the Royal Guards are stunned, even if this is 'average' shooting for a pilot.

You head to the training yard, specifically the segment with hundreds upon hundreds of targets lined up. It seems that the Royal Guard takes its training very seriously, a step up from the ‘PDF’ it seems. There are three large subsections available: one for crew weapons, one for long distance shooting, and one for close range. The close range one in particular has very wide ‘lanes’, with each soldier able to shoot at their pleasure.

Well, here goes nothing. With your rank as a Noble Knight, you doubt anyone will give you any trouble for taking a whole stall. As you make your way over to the stall, many of the Royal Guard give you strange looks. It seems that after your ‘morning run’, they’re expecting a nice showing. You’re not one to disappoint, a pilot’s aim is always impeccable, if they can’t shoot while standing still, then how can they do it while flying off of walls? Racking the trusty R-101, you see your opponent, 100 targets… did you interrupt a team training? Well, can’t disappoint now…

---------------------------

Your name is Jorgg, and this is the second time Sir Jorgenson has appeared in front of the Royal Guard today. He’s, honest to Emperor, the most skilled man you have ever witnessed.

Sir Jorgenson racks an auto-gun of strange make, although having the same ‘look’ that his Knight and suit have; it is sleek. The magazine juts out diagonally downwards, while the sights are a strange red field, suspended by two metal extrusions, an even darker red triangle in the center. This is a weapon fit for Nobility, it must have cost Sir Jorgenson a fortune…

A thunderous crackle, followed by numerous pops. Within the time it takes you to move your eyes off Sir Jorgenson to the targeting range, thirty targets go down, each with either a solid center shot, or more often with a solid center headshot. Now back to Sir Jorgenson, he ejects the magazine, quickly loading in the next with rote efficiency. The silence ends as quickly as it came, the shooting begins again. Thirty more targets go down.

Reload.

Thirty more Targets.

Reload.

And for his last 10 targets, he deigned to one-hand his rifle, his eye-hand coordination must have been refined for hundreds of years, this accuracy is simply legendary. All 10 targets are headshot. You do not believe it would be an exaggeration to say that Sir Jorgenson could take out your whole company within seconds if he so felt.

It is inspiring… and a bit scary. But the looks of your compatriots are all that you need to know, along with your commanding officer’s look of awe; the Royal Guard will receive much greater training. Sir Jorgenson is the ideal soldier.

“Pilot, firing one-handed gives no tactical advantage what-so-ever. It is only meant to be done during wall runs. This will harm your career-average.”

“I had to impress them AT! I know this ain’t my best, but at least I looked cool as hell…”

“Yes. You did look ‘cool as hell’. Well done.”

“...”

“I suggest you head to a local library Pilot, maybe there you may find answers to our current location and status.”

“Yeah, I’ll do that AT.”

Now, where to find a library… The palace probably has one if you look hard enough…

Armor don’t matter as much as you think since the enemies to worry about don’t care about your armor.

>>4331801
Why?

>>4331828
they are probably strong enough to disregard armor completely

>>4331830
>Tyranids
Them, the warp, and Necrons are probably the ones that can bypass most if not all armor. Lets hope that we're prepared enough in the future to deal with them. At the very least the extra armor will protect our titan from collisions, explosives, and other nonsense from the orks. For now.

>>4331828
>>4331840
You realize our titan isn’t very big compared to a proper knight right? Our titan is only 20 feet tall compared to a 40 foot tall knight. You are severely overestimating our abilities.

>>4331875
I didn't know how big an imperial knight was, until you told me right now. We're definitely gonna need better shields and that deployably shield, plus an Ion cannon. That's only if we ever have to fight a knight. At worst I think we'll have to fight are gorgant in this planet? The general did mention that were were the only knight on this planet so far.

>>4331879
Don't let size intimidate you. It's not just about how big it is, it's how you use it, and a knight isn't practiced in murdering other mechas outside of their suits. We are.

>Queue Pilot rodeo'ing a 40ft Knight, only to throw a nuclear frag into the exhaust port.

One advantage of having a robot AI within your Titan is that you get very good accuracy, meaning you can specifically target critical points, such as joints, exhaust, and cockpit. Also, you have actual hands, so that opens up a lot of actions.

>>4331886
Let’s not forget about power shot, gunshield, actual chance of replacing and improving parts, we don’t reload and we have gravity stars which nullify every explosive weapon with a solid projectile

>>4331893
I suppose yes, having a magnum when your opponent is using a beanbag shooter is also helpful

>>4331886
This is true. A Knight doesn't have a pair of arms, and the ones that it does have are too stubby to reach the pilot.

>>4331889
>shoot the joints to each knight's arms
>fight an armless titan
>tip it over
>the knight class titan is stuck because it's too fucking top heavy
>I've fallen and I can't get up

>>4331895
Lets rephrase, they don't have a pair of arms because the hands are replaced with melta/stub gun/plasma gun/las gattling on one arm and another projectile or a big ass chainsword for cutting other knights and gargants and shit to ribbons.

>>4331879
If a gorgant was around we’d just lose even with better armor and defenses. Not to mention the materials 40k titans are made of are likely superior anyway so they could shrug off our bullets.
Daemons are by default highly resistant to bullets and are better dealt with using melee and magic.
Eldar still can make some of their old weapons and use magic but are armored like paper.
And no matter how strong we get Necrons are a potential “game over” situation.

>>4331905

No anon, you were the comedian. Seriously don't underestimate the elves, or we will lose any fight we go up against them in.

And necrons do not have titans to my knowledge, but their infantry is easily capable of slagging us with some concentrated fire.

>>4331895
>>4331895
Nice execution idea.

>>4331909
>Do they have titans?

Yes

They also have teleporting city sized turrets that can one shot a battle barge or battleship.

this is beside the point because their entire army basically eats armor for lunch. -1 armor per hit.


As for daemons they can take a LOT of bullets, do not underestimate them. Doubly so daemon machines.


And then for eldar? Eldar have psionic super titan that can pull shit straight out of evangelion. They also have reactions time on par with pro pilots at the slowest. They also have lots of fast long ranged AT weapons.

>>4331895
>>4331889
Those joints are usually armored with Adamantium or fucking regenerate. Ork titans are abominations that could that give our AI an aneurysm to look at though, not even sure if it’s possible to comprehend them.

>>4331893
Some fair point but space magic and energy weapon are a thing.

>Necrons with Titans
Shitting pants now.

>Eldar evangelion fuckery
The shit just doesn't stop flowing.

We're. We're gonna need better things. Maybe upscale AT in the far future, or leave it to the other bigger boys.

>>4331924
Perhaps if given the chance, we can try making or finding Adamantium, and replacing some of AT's parts piece by piece. Between Militia and Imeperium Tech we should probably combine the best of both worlds? Eldar titans are the ones that can regenerate right?

>>4331932
200 meter tall titan that moves like an eldar, eldar reaction time, eldar grace, eldar speed, and also rip another titan in half in one hit.


They have lots of D-weapons Aka "you no longer exist in this dimension" guns.

They have reaction and processing time double or more faster than a standard titan, they make space marines, we are about as fast as (if nowhere near as tough) look SLOW.


they can straight up mindfuck us and kill us ala scanners via mindfuckery.

>>4331932
Tyranids, Necrons, Wraithbone constructs, and (maybe) Daemons can all regenerate.
Also Eldar fought against the Necrons, the guys whose basic guns could obliterate our titan, and technically won.

>>4331932
Right, I will give you an idea of how bad an eldar can get.

The greatest eldar warriors are their Exarchs, eldar whom have stopped being disciplined and stepped off the path of the warrior to become lost in it, consumed by their skill and passions.
These creatures are so grave opponents that they can single handedly dismantle space marine sergants with relative ease and hold their own against daemons quite easily.
Add on top of eldar naturally being graceful enough to match the astartes, and these exarchs have made their legends by back flipping over attacks to cut peoples heads off, running naruto style on the faces of guardsmen to cut down their commanders and then smacking the shit out of groups of guardsmen. That is how scary an eldar is.

But the REAL SHIT is when they wake up a figment of a god to kill people. Their bloody handed avatars are terrifying [in theory] but always job in the lore, so eh.

>>4331942
>guys send help I'm drowning in shit
We are going to need to avoid them, or hope we pulled out enough human ingenuity to hold our own long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Warhammer is scary.

>>4331949
Kitting AT out to be a 'ProTitan' is starting to sound more appealing by the minute. All this talk about exceedingly deadly foes really put a damper on my idea to Shadow of the Colossus some of the mountain sized titans in our own Titan. Shit would be too risky.

>>4331954
Me thinks we should acquire Necro if at all possible. Necrons are pretty anti warp what with their pylons. Did you mean the fragments of the Eldar God of War, Khaine?

>>4331963
Indeed I do, they send an exarch into his chamber in their craft world and out comes an avatar of Kaine.

And we can't actually use any necron weaponry, it's that advanced as to be akin to handing an Iphone to a caveman and asking him to stream youtube to a computer half a mile away.

Materials.....maybe

>>4331967
https://titanfall.fandom.com/wiki/Regeneration
Maybe one day, if we ever conceivable reach generation 10, it might be feasible, but that's being too optimistic. As dangerous as they might be they're certainly far not unkillable. Just exceptionally hard to kill. Maybe spamming nerve gas and fragmentation explosives might disorient them enough?

>>4331980
For eldar, AOE electric gas would be the best bet. our curving bullets from our smart pistol is likewise gonna be integral to dropping them. Don't bother with their leaders due to shielding, but hopefully we never face their leaders.

>>4331963
The problem is our titan is fundamentally not designed to handle 40k’s higher end bullshit, it’s designed to handle mooks and TF titans which it does pretty well.
All of TF titans would excel in certain areas in 40k.

>>4331990
Arc Grenades or modding AT with an arc field (I think some NPC titans had that) could be a good way to prevent the eldars from mounting or trying to get within melee range. That is an additional work around.

>>4331991
At the very least we can clear out the mooks and leave the higher end threats to the heavy weapons and artillery team....or try to create a Titan sized A-wall to take down larger and stronger enemies.

I will say that you're all looking at 40k's big bads and their greatest strengths, forgetting TitanFall's tech's advantages.

Phase:
As long as the system is powered, you move in the alternate dimension (That may or may not be the fine line between materium and immaterium, webway esque in stability.). Also, there's phase-rewind to prevent you from getting insta-gibbed if you ever get that piece of kit.

The advanced sensors and H.U.D. of your suit and Titan should allow you to detect anomolies before you get insta-gibbed by an Eldar casting 'die'.

Gravity stars are useful for diverting enemy fire and attacks. It's also very wonky as hell to those who have not experienced them. I doubt the Eldar have enough muscle to escape one if a Pilot's jumpjets have no luck in that.

Any humanoid sized enemy that nears a Titan is extremely prone to being stepped on or punched into paste, those hands are very agile, backed by an AI helping tracking.

Necrons are bullshit in all regards, they fire radiation and all sorts of shit at you. The shields should hold it back, and Titans are rated for some radiation as they do need to operate in space from time to time (Necron radiation is still damn scary.).

Orks are Orks, they drown you in numbers and stupidity.

>>4331980
If you somehow figured out regeneration, then yes, it would increase your reaction time as your brain simply becomes better.

We can stick to our weightclass- Knight warfare.
Hell, we might even pick a few knight type upgrades if we manage to get good with the AdMech and get a CogBro that can tolerate and hide the AI, or a Knight House for that matter not directly sworn to the Mechanicus but the Imperium...
Knights and TF titans were made to be relatively modular and able to swap out certain parts. They could hook us up with some very nice gear for our Titan. Artifact weapons are really nice stuff, and an Ion Shield would be great, that would let us survive full knight scale range and reach to survivable for short times in Titan scale, because almost all knights can beat us up close or have more powerful guns except the light Armiger Halverin (Culverin is a light close range monster for us) or the medium Questoris Warden, the two of whom we have a similar style of armaments with that is designed more as firesupport for other knights and helps in dealing great amounts of punishment against lesser foes or anti air support.

>>4332047
considering our tech peculiarities however we probably out excel those two street sweeper designs, even if we have fewer guns and are a more specialized style of 'street sweeper'

>>4332043
Well we’re talking about the higher end and the QM said as much. I also pointed out our titan is very good against lower end stuff in 40k.

>>4332045
We require more deepest ork lore

>>4332047
At least we have the benefits of a lower profile=smaller target compared to other knights. Perhaps if were're far enough and have the gun shield activated, we'll stand more than enough of a chance to beat a knight should fate provide us something exceedingly challenging. We throw Energy Siphon to deplete their shields and make their titan slower, then we just stand an even better chance. The additional shield is a nice touch too.

On a different note, I had this idea of maybe possibly adding an external energy core (armored and shielded of course) for the purpose of boosting AT's power, without dedicating too much time and research on figuring out the best way to make a more potent battery of roughly the same dimensions. Your thoughts?

>>4332081
Not a very good idea. Being mobile is very important in 40k which is part of the reason Stryder chassis is viable despite it’s lower armor.

>>4332081
Las-batteries probably have a higher efficency and smaller profile than anything titanfall has to offer tech wise, so if we can reverse-engineer some of those packs we can increase our power stores dramatically, and probably even make it internal.

>>4332081
>>4332095
Indeed. Knights already have as trained a level of reactions as their pilots. I do not think that some do not augment their more savy and wealthy knight pilots as well.

However we are even faster so we can avoid most of the things and our unique techs make us more aware and more able to avoid damage.

What we can't do is do what they do, trade fire from behind ion shields or charge in to melee behind an ion shield and expect to actually win the melee against titans or demons.

But we can run, duck and doge better than most, and against most Anti tank weapons we have similar suitability.

>>4332095
Armor can be just as vital as mobility and vice versa. It's only in the situation we find ourselves in that armor is great against ork autoguns. For that I'm grateful for.

>>4332100
I kind of doubt that. Titanfall Tech is considered archiotech compared to Imperium tech, where humanity is still in a kind of dark age of technology compared to humanity at it's peak.
>1. I think Militia tech is generally better, sans some circumstances, than 40k tech. Although the lasers are generally on par, with militia lasers having some advantages such as power efficiency and penetration while 40k has durability, ease of manufacture, and overcharge.
However, Overcharged batteries might be the exception?

>“Pilot, some of the exotic matter has interacted with the paint after-finish on my arms and legs. Scans indicate that the new substance should ablate energy weapons 30% better than standard Militia paint. Furthermore, the new blue finish should improve your morale, as it is logged that you prefer blue.”
Later I think we should research this paint stuff. Could be useful.

>>4332109
It sounds like we should invest in that dimension phase thing Ronin has, and upgrade the Assault Core so we get to dash and sprint longer.

>>4332116
>Titanfall Tech is considered archiotech compared to Imperium tech,
that's just at first glance. For all we know cog bro might be imagining things that are way beyond the capabilities of our titan and us.

>>4332116
More low end DaoT tech. Seriously you wouldn’t believe the crazy shit some archaeotech can do, at the peak of the Age of Technology humanity was creating gray goo, sun snuffers, and time travel.

>>4332136
Mostly better in some aspects. You don't need servitors and computers are better.

>>4332154
I guess Canonically Titanfall 2 is somewhere closeish to the peak of human ingenuity before the Dark Age of Technology. They made that time and space folder thing, and the Time gauntlet. There's also the fabricator which could be confused for an STC and STC template thing? All I know is that one is a printer, and one is an archive.

>>4332116
Hellguns Reliably penetrate power armour, Triplex Lasguns have extra variable setting that can turn them as very good snipers or able to short range solidslugshotgunanalogue a power armour, the imperium has a lot of variant laser weapons, its just not fancy lasguns are relatively cheap, compared to those, like vastly cheaper x10 or more, and they are adequate enough that most worlds can afford them to equip large enough groups of men to be able to relatively guarantee a infantry force that can at least be expected to be enough of a threat to most common enemies to serve as a main weapon.
Logistics makes infantry main weapons the one weapon you want to save as much as you can both in volume and in cost, so you can afford and able to ship more heavy and more effective gear, like the artillery they had that i bet they also do not produce locally and have to import most of everything for it if they are particularly unlucky and do not have such industrial capacity.

This is mitigated by the relatively large amount of support and heavy weapons that the better regular imperial infantry outfits usually bring with them, and veterans ones almost always do.

>>4332173
and if they are particularly unlucky a smart comander that can spend some money will propably try to switch to all energy weapons if he can not produce ammo locally and power them from various generators.

So probably many flamers, multilasers, lascanons, plasma and melta as they can get, and few stubbers, grenade and missile launchers, bolters and autocannons as they can get away with.

The Titan-war was the first large-scale war involving Titans. This was the wild-west of technology. Dangerous phase-experiments leading to time-travel? Yes. Sending mechs down from orbit? Yes. Lots of high-end body modifications? Yes.

High-DaoT times have technology so advanced that it's effectively magic. So yes, you have the low end of DaoT, with some of your technology utilizing principles long, long forgotten. In fact, phase tech does not exist today outside of some select ruins cough* cough* The system-wide dispersed ruins of Typhon and its moon, being extremely dangerous as there was not one, but TWO fold weapon incidents. Time is fucked there and space can eat you... Not daemons though!

An example of how differently made your comparable techs are is in lasers.
The charge rifle fires an extremely focused laser beam, with such energy that a vivid orange aftertrail stays for a good second.
The revolving magnets, DaoT design principles, and general high-quality manufacture allow it to make a small, but extremely dense energy beam that is able to penetrate Titan Armor.

40k lasguns operate on a different principle, likely because they have a different role entirely (for the most part), infantry combat. Therefore, it utilizes a non-moving assembly, and instead uses a charge system that allows a soldier to fire a 'normal' shot, that has about the same power of a .50 cal round, or an overcharged shot, which can harm power-armor.

What the TitanFall laser has over the 40k laser is its density, its beam is smaller, yet packed with the equivalent energy, thus it has more penetration as it applies more energy to a smaller region.

On another note, TitanFall tech has mastered automatic plasma weapons. The L-Star fires self contained bubbles of plasma at enemies that pop on contact, releasing the full thermal energy of the shot only on the target. The heat generated is great, but again, DaoT thermally conductive materials mean you just need to wait a second for it to cool down.

That does not mean that 40k is not advanced whatsoever. Even if 40k is picking up the scraps from the high end of the Dark Age of Technology, we only have the full set of the low end of the Dark Age of Technology. They have pieces that are miles ahead of us, yet are majorly constructed of pieces beneath us, giving a sort of frankenstein of a tech-base.

A fully realized and maintained link between a Knight and his Machine would be great... if they ironed out the ego-trip it induces and personality disorders...
In that, our tech is better as we can 'sync' while not going insane, maintaining the 100% cooperation without and deficiencies. Also, our Titan actually talks to us, instead of Larping as a machine spirit, if they even include the more advanced examples of machine assistance.

>>4332224
Can we make a titan sized jump kit for AT so she can run and jump better? Titan are already designed to make landfall from such great heights, so I'd image falling isn't much of an issue.

To add to this, in general, since your technology is from the 'Wild West of Technology', it has many innovations and creative designs that were lost over millennia.

For example, Titans are the precursor to Knights, and later 40k large Titans. But the original Titans were initially made as a response to the harsh needs of space and the frontier, needing the labor of giants, yet the skill of man. Thus, the Titans were born. Of course, it did not take too long before they were weaponized, but their use as a weapons platform that can perform exceedingly well in all environments was their main draw. The ability to act 'Oh, if I were 20 feet taller, maybe I could do this.' The hands are the real game changer. You want to change your gun? Grab a new one. You want to hurl a block of satchel explosives? Be my guest. You want to take this breather in combat to rearrange the scrap and rubble to your advantage? And you want to lay mines? A laser trip wire? Oh, you want to create an artificial sinkhole there... You want to overclock your reactor and boost straight into the enemy line, gun them down, then combat roll into cover? Sure.

A TitanFall Titan has the innovation, spirit, and versatility of a human being. Humans did not become the apex predators (heh) by fangs, or integrated plasma cannons, but by versatility and ingenuity. A Titan is the expression of a human's will onto the world, to have hands big enough to alter the environment on a dime. A Knight will not think to conduct Titan-martial arts because it simply does not have the inspiration of human-design. It is rigid, and will lose to the more skilled pilot in the Titan.

To conclude, the Titan is not bogged down by nearly 37,000 years of lacking inspiration. It is the apex weapon because it can do anything and everything. It just looks small when you spend your entire planetary GDP on creating a walking superfortress, or spend a decade crafting a Knight. If a Titan blows up, you can rebuild it for pretty cheap (compared to WH40k standards), a Knight is always a loss that stings hard. The best Pilot wins in a Titan fight, and if he loses, you can bet he's making his way to frag the hell out of yours shortly.

It was a broken piece of ancient alien technology. Of course, ARES recreated a smaller working model, testing it on Typhon's moon, cracking it into numerous pieces.
Later, the Fold Weapon that was turned onto Typhon itself was the refurbished alien superweapon. From this, one can assume that it falls into the range of human technology since ARES could replicate working models of the technology. It was just that the huge one was meant to be an inter-system weapon.

Makes me wonder how the Imperium would utilize the ability to exterminatus worlds from systems away... Would it be for the better or for the worse?
