Welcome back, SOUL officers, to the seventy-sixth installment of Mecha Space Pirate Quest. As always, I'm Wong, your host, and today you are still Lieutenant Amos A. Wedge of UJCIDF SOUL.

Last time, you dealt with the many burdens of command, but now you're back at the Dam. There's no need to go into what a struggle it was getting Keith's Warmouth and the one-legged Betta-MP back, but you do it in time.

Irina and the technicians run through the mission log of the three Betta-MPs, in search of the truth, and you receive no resistance from the dispirited pink-haired girls. Your girlfriend, though, isn't able to help very much. After a certain point, during a flyover of a sleepy little Qu'liri village, you see a bloom of fire from the rooftop of one of the villages. There's a wash of static, then, and Lyra's feed goes dead. Lyanna and Lara's last long enough to show you a small anti-mech missile hitting Lyra's mech before they too go dead. Irina promises that, if you all survive this, she'll keep digging and figure out the cause, but her best guess is that it was a result of sudden electrical overload although the break in footage is oddly clean. Their ASP systems are entirely fried.

As for Jesus, he surprises you too. There's talk of borrowing someone else's Warmouth for him, as a member of SOUL, and jury-rigging it for sniping...but he refuses. Instead, he asks if there are any mecha currently lacking pilots. After scanning a list, he selects one that surprises you, the humble Pumpkinseed I Sniper of the late Sergeant O'Neil, killed during the Dam Raid. It can't use his beloved custom rifle, but he shrugs it off, "I'd be a poor sniper if I could only use one gun." He says, and gets some practice in with the Pumpkinseed's Iskander, patterned with the ancient Celtic designs O'Neil favored in life. The one modification he does insist on, however, is the addition of a white V-fin crest to the Pumpkinseed's head, stating something to the effect of it being his signature style, the V is an ancient gesture for both victory and peace.

In case you missed my post in the old thread.

>>1146925
two things wrong here.

1. Scattershot only has 5 bursts, so it's 3.6 CP Although it's my fault for not being specific so my apologies.

2. you're spaces are off. You're forgetting that it's multi-feed 2, so it carries two clips of ammo at the same time, so the spaces should be 23.16 before mating and 17.41 after. so 6.5 CP worth of Space Efficiency would be needed to bring it down below 5 spaces.

“Cheer up, asshole.” Garret tells you as your three mecha sit on the edge of the dam, cockpit hatches down so the three of you can sit on them and talk in the open air.

You grunt at him. You just made your report to Colonel Luxol, who confirmed that the evacuation is well enough underway that the remaining presence of the Archimedes and Petronius is no longer required. He's taken those ships into the atmosphere, and sent the order for two of your remaining vessels to join him. They'll form a wall against any last-minute Avalonian reinforcements and oversee the fight from high above. The biggest difficulty about fighting the Avalonian battleship is that its beam batteries outclass anything you've ever heard of carried by a Jovian ship, so they're hesitant to get into a gunfight with something that can shoot them down from that kind of range.

“H-he's right.” Simon says, “Ever since they made you squad leader you've been...what did you call him?”

“An attenuated, enervated, eviscerated caricature of cuntishness.” Garret quips, “Fortunately, there's a cure.”

You grunt again, staring out into the mist. Damn this weather, the sun is up, but it's so cloudy overhead and so foggy below that you have no idea where the horizon is, there's just a diffuse glow amidst the grey somewhere, and the shapes of trees poking up through the fog like looming ghosts.

“And what would that cure be?” Simon asks patiently.

Garret grins, “Have a drink, then we go kill every last Knight on this planet and go home heroes. Come on, Amos, I know they've chipped away at your lovable innocence with all of this nonsense ever since you shot down the Berenger, and I know you're under a lot of pressure...but you've got to bend with it. Get all rigid and you'll just break.” He tosses you a flask.

You know you can't afford to get drunk right now, but one sip won't hurt, so you take one, making a face at its contents, “What is this, paint thinner?”

“That's how you know it's the good stuff.” Garret replies.

You smile, and take another sip before re-corking it and tossing it back. Garret shakes the flask next to his ear suspiciously, listening to the sound it makes, “Don't have too much fun. You know who we're facing. Something tells me that this Paladin isn't going to underestimate us as much as the first one did.”

>>1147086

Garret tosses the flask to Simon, who also takes a sip...and handles it better than either of you...before giving you both an encouraging grin. His S-Squilla hulks above the S-Delphinius and S-Pyxicephalus. He goes to throw it back, but a sudden rumble shakes the dam and he misses, the flask gleaming as it tumbles end over end into the mist below.

“Go get it.” Garret crosses his arms, then hurriedly yells out, “Wait, I was kidding! Don't worry about it!” As Simon grabs his liftwire to go chasing after the lost flask.

You duck into your mech to check your instruments, not even needing to hear the flurry of Arabic warnings from the Scimitar pilots to know what it is. Gerin approaches. Gerin is here. What you hear is the tread of hundreds of Knights marching in perfectly disciplined lockstep, rebel infantry milling around their feet, and as the fog burns away from its thrusters you can see an immense scarlet needle hovering above the trees. The damned thing is bigger than a Wels-class, even taking into account that a Wels is a relatively short and fat-headed ship for its mass and Avalonian ships resemble long, slender lances.

Something is sitting on top of its prow. You can just barely see it in the ambiguous light, a dark shape only visible where its outline mars the smooth curves of the enemy vessel. You can't tell anything else, but something about that position speaks of arrogance and poise, like some ancient king riding out to face his enemies on the back of his mightiest war-elephant. A shudder runs down your spine. Even if there wasn't the unspoken expectation that you, as the one who brought down the Berenger, would face this one, you would have to do it. You're SOUL, Special Operations are your job, and there is nothing at all normal about fighting a Paladin.

The vidcomm request is simultaneously broadcast to every ship, every mech, in your assembled forces. Even Irina, tucked safely on board one of the ships in the atmosphere, probably gets a look. The man on the other side of the holoscreen could easily be related to Hector Van Damme. Tall, broad-shouldered, with dark hair that looks somewhat spiky and disheveled, you'd guess because he just removed his helmet. Honestly, there's nothing very remarkable about him, or his white armor, despite the fact it's been shaped like a muscled chest, or his purple cloak. Until you see his eyes. You can see the whites all the way around the iris, which is never a good sign. It would be a mistake to call them the eyes of an animal. Animals are rational, they aren't consciously cruel. They act to survive with minimal effort, nearly always. This is different, you get the sense that he likes hurting people.

“Is that all?” He scoffs, rubbing a hand against his face, “Just this many? A handful? Two? A dozen handfuls?” He starts laughing, “By the Lady, it's pathetic. I'm not the same as that old witch, I don't give speeches to inferior beasts, so enjoy my words while they last, pigs! Don't bother running! Don't bother trying to surrender! If you want this to be quick and easy, come at me all at once so I can kill you in a hurry!” He smiles and spreads his arms wide, “I'm feeling magnanimous, so I'll forgive you for this insult and kill you like warriors. After all, it wouldn't matter how many you sent. Even a million maggots are still just maggots!”

You pick up the detonator left in your cockpit, and flip up the top to expose the button beneath.

“Ah, this is better. I wish I had joined the ambush on your pathetic ship. All I've had to fight lately are your regular forces. I was getting rusty.” He shrugs, with an innocent smile, “Of course, I asked and was turned down, the old lady was right when she said I would have just killed you all...but really, what made it her decision? So she's my senior, so what? All she's given Avalon is two useless girls and a lot of religious twaddle, killing her and then killing you would have been a service to the Lady. Just so you know, piggies, I'm giving you a lot of credit when I say you aren't entirely useless. Once I've reduced this world to a crisp, I'll give it to the Lady as a gift. She'll see that I'm more valuable than the others, and hey...who knows the future? Maybe I'll get to rape that silly little girl on the throne in front of her brain-dead knight, marry the Lady, and rule this galaxy myself, heh?” He lifts his eyebrows, “Just thinking aloud, piggies. Master Belegor has no interest in ruling, and that's fine. So long as I grow strong enough to challenge him, give him a clean fight, and one of us dies, he'll be happy no matter the outcome. That's what he calls the way of living things.”

>>1147363
In RJ? Too far from the borders, I could tecnically take a plane tomorrow to either USA or Canada, but the flights are probably already full and I would have to spend some money in hotels and etc...

I live near a florest with a big wall to the side of the house that leads to civilization, I should be fine if nobody tries to go thorugh the florest to get here, and even if they do I still have the dogs.

Its more of a matter of how much time my food will last...

There is also family to worry about.

Worst case scenario I could hide with my sensei and his veteran friends for a while, they are well armed and crazy enough to survive anything after two wars.

“Oh, right, before I forget, where's the Blue Knight? We have some stupid operational name for him now, but I don't really care about that. History will forget him once he's-” He continues.

“Hey, asshole.” You interrupt him, “Wrap it up. I miss my filthy peasant hovel and I get to go home once I've finished you off.”

“Hey, you little shit, you're one of the few people on your side who can call himself a human being. Why don't you do me a favor? Dig up the Father of Qu'lir for me. Get some proper dirt under your fingernails like the peasant you are, remember the smell of shit and think fondly of your filthy peasant hovel, and I'll let you live long enough to finish the job, at least. After that, I'll take your head and put it on a spike. Now hurry up and-”

“I mean today. Listen, only the first Paladin is special. Twenty words or less.” You interrupt him again, watching your sensor screen closely, watching his forces draw closer and closer.

“Consider that offer canceled. You're the Blue Knight, aren't you? Let me tell you exactly how I-” Clearly he's about to tell you about all of the awful things he's going to do to you and everyone you love.

“Twenty.” You inform him smugly, and hit the detonator.

Dozens of carefully placed charges set into the dam explode all at once.

The valley itself is the easiest way to approach the dam on foot, which is easy on the Knights and infantry, but...it also does something else. It acts as a funnel. The explosions tear open the mighty concrete wall of the dam, sending stones spraying through the air like teeth punched from a mouth, and a wall of murky, dirty water laced with rocks and chunks of rotting vegetation roars through the valley like the fist of the planet itself. The Knights in the vanguard, big and heavy as they are, are swept off their feet and vanish into the spray while the infantry simply ceases to exist. Your forces were all prepared, and took to the air or spread out to positions along the top of the valley when you set off the blast, but you know that many of the Knights are going to survive that. Even Avalonian mecha have sealed systems good enough to function in space, even if they're clumsy.

As the water rushes towards the low-hovering battleship, you prepare to give the order to sweep down and blast anything coming out of the water. With any luck, they had units on board the ship who will be trapped inside until it pulls clear...and that's when you see an energy signature from the ship you never expected.

“He can't be...” You hear Captain Asphodel stammer over the line.

“EVADE! ALL UNITS EVADE!” You grab your buddies and JET, the three SOUL units soaring into the air. Not all of your troops are that quick.

A searing fusillade composed of lines of light thicker around than any tree rips through the wall of water, flash-evaporating it and causing billowing clouds of steam to mingle with the lingering mist. It's so foggy you can't see anything, you're floating in a grey void made worse by the fact that you're trying to blink the dazzle out of your eyes. From the dozens of contact icons that vanish from your screen, you realize not everyone was as lucky as you. Avoiding a starship's primary cannon batteries is easy for a mech, but the shockwave and all of the other obstacles around in an atmosphere environment, plus the explosion of so much plasma in one place at once, is much more lethal. The sheer amount of heat left over from the blast is making your ASP have trouble giving you a picture of what's around you, but from a glint you catch through your visual sensors you can guess that the scarlet ship is lifting itself ponderously above the flood, and likely dispensing any remaining Knights it had aboard.

“He...his own men...” Simon stammers.

“Yeah.” Garret replies bitterly, “Anyone who got caught up in our trap and survived just got boiled like an egg.”

As he famously said, it took hundreds to kill him, but he killed people by the thousands.
>>
>>1147753
From what we know, he's got a barrier thats pretty impressive. Might require 10k-12k to crack or it's ablative. It's something that can shrug off the war crime in the box, so we best unload missiles at that thing. Hopefully we repurposed the ones from the dam. Aside from that, I expect melee.. and possibly fire.

You know, this actually went a lot quicker than expected. That's it for tonight, and tomorrow we go straight into combat in the fog.

Well, it implies a few things. First off; she has enough fire power to just flat out handle an army of 500 knights and the paladin. Second, she can drop enough firepower to simply break ablative shields. Third; she could trivialize the bloody greenman we are facing.
The plus side is that she doesn't get to be a war hero and is thus easier to deal with politically.

>>1147956
Whoever becomes the Milliardo expy.
>>
>>1147956
The question is, how many troops remained? Infantry is gone. Any knight on the field is gone. We could be looking at anywhere from 75% to 90% of their mech forces gone, and just leaving Ford's best left. Going to assume he has A-class crew, but A-class crew in knights are likely killable with that penalty.

Sounds like those vehicle cockpits.

As is, gonna compile a list of all 'positives' that may or may not make our life easier.
>Simon and Garret are alive and using their SOUL machines.
>Amos has a fully functional(and boosted) machine. His experiences are probably pushing him on the cusp of 18s.
>Berenger is down. No double paladins.
>The Greenman's bioarmor is weakened and likely unable to support Ford directly. All cultists are dead or gone.
>By doing the fight here, we prevent Ford from possibly fusing with the bioarmor.
>Sammy and Kestrel Support is possible.
>Hector and Elizabeth are out of combat, but could likely serve as support.
>Martians are alive and provide extra support.
>Missiles from the damn dam could be used to damage ford's shield.
>While some men are lost, the enemy has just sacrificed the majority of it's forces including infantry that could have critted us.
>Jesus has matured, but is using a lesser mech. Means he's easier to control and less likely to make the same mistake.
>>
>>1148207
He said he was going to end early today since tomorrow is going to be nothing but combat.
>>
>>1148211
The most worrying thing is that Sam is here and her mech is delicate. She could easily get fucked if he get a hold of her.
>>
>>1147890

Bethany Cabot does not trivialize the Gerin. Nothing really trivializes a Paladin.
>>
>>1147979

Anything in front of the battleship flying over his troop column, yes. I think you're suffering from wishful thinking if you believe 75% of his army is gone.
>>
>>1148268

Effectively, their infantry force should be gone. Considering that it was mostly drawn from the locals, they fact that the vanguard got washed away and flash boiled would have meant any survivors would have likely broken and ran. Even assuming like 20-30% casualties for the infantry force, the rest of the indigenous infantry support is probably spent.
>>
>>1148230
Would require her to be close to have that be an issue. Even if it's just pulling a Bosun or helping to thin the enemy, she has uses.
>>1148265
>>1148268
Point and damn. Hopefully it is a good number. 48 plus any from Sammy's mines of 500 were taken out before hand, so about 450 remain. If that blast took out dozens of ours and we were already 4 to 1 with them having the edge, then we are going to be hurting in terms of the mech portion depending on the percentage loss.
>>
>>1148293
Annd I realized that contacts can mean enemy as well so the numbers could be less than I thought.

If you were to fill a pod full of thrusters and the pod got hit do the thrusters have kills or does it just go straight to the torso?
>>
>>1148557
The thrusters would be hit 1 per kill.
>>
>>1149079
Well thats manageable. Still a pretty nasty downside but manageable.
>>
>>1149114
It's one of the disadvantages that come with thruster pods. A nice, constant speed at the cost of weight and vulnerability. Pretty expensive too if you factor in weight reduction, but it will last you indefinitely compared to booster packs.
>>
>>1149147
They kind of suck honestly. Leaving a big gaping hole in your defense like them is very sub optimal.
>>
>>1149186
Not necessarily. You have to understand is that to hit the torso you need to empty out the pod first. Pods hold some of the largest spaces possible and since 1 kill is 1 thruster, they do have a lot of "health".
>>
>>1149204
If they are used to hold thrusters maybe. If they are used to hold a gun or a reactive shield or something they are a bit of a liability.

Each space also costs as much as using space efficiency for the same amount. Pods are really only useful if your GM is limiting space efficiency.

You need to make space on the torso for them to fit though. Also not sure how it works when the head is mech of its own with a pretty beefy beam gun.
>>
>>1149396
Thats why you go for the biggest class you can get, then space efficiency. To do the Zeong right, it needs to be big and cost a rediculous amount.

Still alive, what are our current strategies on the Paladin? What do we know about him? And from where did we get it?

Can elizabeth help Keith? They must be on same level now that he is piloting a Pumpkinseed.
>>
>>1149620
How would she help him? Pretty sure hes still better than her with guns regardless of what mech hes in.
>>
>>1149620
Our primary knowledge right now is that he has a impressive shield. Ablative, active, or reactive, it's hard to tell, but I have a feeling it's ablative reactive(since even a 20 kill attack wouldn't harm a reactive shield). As is, I say our biggest foe will be the mist. Need to stay together and not get separated.
I am not sure how the army's morale is like, but destroying the ship and Lucas could shatter it. Plus side is there is a clearish path forward now. We cannot get swarmed, and we cannot get bogged down though.

“Stay together.” You warn your squad. “Our greatest enemy right now is the mist, Gerin's still a ways away.” You feel a little bad for the line units, the smoke and fog is a lot harder on mecha that don't have the advanced sensors yours do. On the other hand...the Knights don't have them either. The three of you sail down over the flooded valley in formation, matching the speed of your slowest member, the heavy S-Squilla.

“Incoming.” Garret warns, “It looks like there were Knights behind the battleship and probably being dispersed from its mechbays.”

“How many?” You inquire, as your own screen starts to light up with enemy contact icons.

“Too many.” He replies, and you nod in agreement, your screen is glowing like one of those Christian Solday trees with the signatures of approaching Knights, now, “What do you want to do?”

Once again, you think of the troops behind you, as the first Knights lumber out of the mist, awkwardly moving along hilltop paths on either side of the valley, “We're the tip of the spear. Wipe them out. Our troops are outnumbered as it is, we need to make it as easy for them as possibly by evening the score.”

>[Start rolling dice. Your rolls will be used for all three members of your squad, so don't just roll twice, roll three times in succession at least. Plain 1d10s, for once. Amos has +14 to dodge and parry, +15 to shoot, +16 to beamlance, +17 for missiles. Garret has a total of 18 before penalties, but his Pyxicephalus is heavier, so he has +13 to dodge and +14 to beam gatling, +15 for missiles. Simon is in the same boat. +13 to dodge, parry, or use his grappling attacks and bite, +16 to punch. Jove be with you.]

Thats 3 Knights down and one Crited(probably to death too).

Then:
22 vs 15 Quad linked BV 3 crits... 12 Crits? this one is probably dead or so lucky that his mech is unoperative and he just can't fight anymore.

17 vs 15 8 or 12 hits I believe, probably dead too.

Garret's quad cannons completely shredded the head, an arm, and a leg of one Knight, severely inconveniencing it and forcing it to basically crawl. The other one lost its left arm and then had its torso ribboned so hard the pilot is well-cooked hamburger right now. Remember, he hits each location he rolls four times.
>>
>>1150071
Yeah, and the Knights aren't holding up all that hot in anti ace combat. Their extra bulk doesn't really make them more survivable against aces, and with their -4 MV the -2 DA shield might as well not exist for all the help it actually gives.

True, but it puts things into perspective when the three are reenacting the Psyche raid. In retrospec the lower points for SOUL happened when they faced off against Roarke, a ace with a proper ace machine. But considering our trio are either using smarter builds compared to the Slinger, or just plain lighter builds, it shows how they've grown.
Remember when we went 'Oh Shit' over a knight ambush? We have just reversed the tables there.

Can't he also shoot 3 knights at once with each burst if he wants?

>>1150098
>severely inconveniencing it and forcing it to basically crawl.
He can still move with little jumps and shoot with his lance... but he is scrwed already, the only thing that would keep him fighting would be honor... and I don't know if this Knights care for that as they serve Ford.

He can, but he chose to focus-fire to maximize kill potential rather than aim wide and create a battlefield full of damaged mecha. He also opted not to roll crits in favor of pure damage.

>>1150112

There's fighting going on all around you.

>>1149965

One actually dodged the S-Squilla. Two are unparryable and their pilots are assuredly dead. Parry versus 19 at +10.

Will it survive one round against us if its ablative? We can cause a LOT of damage.

>>1150139
THREE! THREE DEAD KNIGHTS! Ah-ha-ha.

All in all, of those first dozen Knights to approach eight are dead, one is virtually incapacitated but still has its left arm remaining and can make one attack at a penalty. Amos got 4, Garret got two (counting the incapacitated one), Simon got 3.
>>
>>1150139
>DODGED
He is screwed, he can't run from them to change targets, and he can't eject because of honor(if he cares).
He can only hope to crit his enemy before getting the chance of getting hit again.
>>
>>1150142
Might if it's like other Paladins. Aim actions once he's on the scanners might be a good idea alongside a missile burst with some luck. Garret might very well save the day if he gets a full burst in. 8x4x3=96 damage.

>>
>>1150584

There were some shenanigans in the turn order because Garret wanted to take one more out.
>>
>>1150597
I'm confused, even more about how crits and links work.
Are Garret's crits alway quadrupled? Does he rolls 4 times per crit hit?
>>
>>1150606
well, if he didn't make it so each gun fires at one spot he could roll more, but I think in terms of stability and just shredding that part into a fine mist, his choice is better.
>>
>>1150606

Generally what I do when Garret rolls a crit is that I roll the crit itself ONCE, and the remaining three shots hit a random location thrice. However, Garret isn't even rolling on the crit table this fight, just at locations, because he's maximizing shooting bits off them rather than doing things like clip off their shields or destroy their thrusters that aren't as useful versus mooks.
>>
>>1150520
If this countinues, we would win in about 14 minutes.
>>
>>1150636
Hm.... Wouldn't the crit cause 12 shots?
> I roll the crit itself ONCE, and the remaining three shots hit a random location thrice.
Sounds fair... but isn't this just 10 shots? What happens to the othe two?
>>
>>1150645
Thats assuming we keep the course. Dice are dicks and as seen, our dodge rolls are not that high. 50ish were taken out beforehand and their entire front was wiped. We also got allies and CIWS so it might be even quicker. Either way, in a battle this big, momentum is key. Each dead A-class means one less threat for our allies.
>>
jesus christ but soal three is what stern wanted wasn't it?
we are just wrecking them
>>
>>1150520

My excuse is that their best ones are in the middle now trying to divide the Jovian formation in the fog and are running into the SOUL trio. B-rankers in Knights are no longer a huge threat to SOUL C. Jesus, the Betta MPs, and others are fighting on either side of you somewhere in the smoke.
>>
>>1150671
A good point. Bs and Cs(maybe even Ds) are likely the bulk, but the As are indeed a major threat for this. If the other fronts hold up well, and dealt with similar numbers, it'd certainly put the hurting on them. Course, knights versus snipers and stealth fighters are likely in trouble as well.
>>
>>1150661
Their attacks doesn't even ablate our shields, we could continue to this for a long time with minimal risk, and the risk goes even lower if the A-crews end.

>>1150671
Rolling for them for a round or two could be fun, but you decide.
>>
>>1150711
Don't think there is a need. The ones facing Jesus, Simons notagirlfriend and a more competent Iok would never be close enough for their attacks to hit. The ones dealing with the three black stars are just going to be ambushed again and again. Our front is probably the one with the most risk because we don't make those roles so much worse trying to hit far away or hidden foes.

There are a dozen of them. In contrast to the rather plain grey armor of the bulk of the Gerin's understudies, these Knights are painted blinding white, with a snarling wolf's-head emblem on each left pauldron. They march with smooth discipline, forming up in a double-layered phalanx with their lances angled like a hedgehog's spikes towards you. From their movements, you can tell that they've worked together often, and from the hatchmarks burned into their armor beneath the wolfheads, you can tell that they've killed a fair number of Jovians before. They outnumber you four to one, and although you hear the sounds of battle on all sides and see the flash of plasma in the mist and steam and smoke from what your temperature scanners tell you are burning trees, you are for the moment alone.

It takes less than twenty seconds to kill them all.

You and Simon drop into their formation with the recklessness of two warhorses gone mad enough to brave the enemy's line of pikes. Your lance skewers one through the chest, then sweeps out and around in an arc that cuts through two more. They topple to the ground in pieces. One ducks away from Simon, turning to aim his lance at your powerplant, but you catch his weapon by the tip and cut his Knight in half from shoulder to groin. Those four were lucky. Even though Simon's mech doesn't have the same berserk energy it did when you first faced it, it's fast and relentless, and the glowing fields around its hands scoop through mech armor like warm mud, creating an odd mixture of effortlessness and brutality as he renders three of them into scrap in the blink of an eye. Garret's artillery mech isn't necessarily the best for this kind of work, but despite that he focus-fires on two of them, bolts of plasma searing the air. One's cockpit is cored immediately, and it sags as his remaining shots put big holes through the rest of its torso. The other is luckier, marginally, it loses its head and one arm, and as it twists away Garret shoots it through the back of the knee, cutting its limb in half.

The three survivors back off, as the downed one fumbles around for a lance with its remaining arm and lifts it to shoot. You casually block cannonfire with your shield as you advance, slashing two down with one blow as Garret pre-empts Simon going for another by turning its entire torso into shredded metallic confetti before finishing off the downed one in a hail of fire.

“This is Captain Brian Asphodel of the JSS Suetonius. All units, hold your ground, our sensors reveal that we have the more defensible position. They're coming to us.” A massive thunderclap splits the air, and the shockwave buffets you even from here, “Confirmed battery fire from the overwatch ships. Don't expect a full artillery barrage, our boys up above don't want to hit us, but they'll keep that beam cannon off our backs. Good luck and...” You hear muffled swearing over the comms line, “Really? NOW? By Jove how...” The line muffles and you hear more swearing, then his voice returns, once more calm but with an edge on it you last heard when he was chewing you out under the impression that you'd seduced Irina for a better gun, “Our sensors confirm the Mekong-class Iulia Maesa has emerged from warp and is entering Qu'lir's orbit. Once again.” He puts so much into those last two words, you feel for him, you really do.

“Credit-stealing bitch.” Garret comments quietly. The S-Squilla and your mech vigorously jerk their heads up and down in ageement.

“Every fucking time.” He adds.

“W-what if she reviews the commlog and hears you?” Simon asks, wiping bits of Knight off the S-Squilla's fingers.

“I hope she does. I'm tired of her bullshit. If she didn't keep pulling her clout with the senate to interfere, General Oman could have stayed around and we could have just firebombed Gerin from space.” Garret growls.

“That's going too far.” You remark, “There are civilian populations along his route that would have been affected.”

“I know, it's wishful thinking, but there have to have been at least a few points where we could have hit them. I'm tired of her treating SOUL like her personal cheerleader squad and the UJCIDF like her Jove-damned armchair. I hope Roarke Starwind bones Lieutenant Farragut every day, and I hope she knows about it.”

“I hope they have the happiest marriage in the galaxy. I hope she's great for him and he's great for her.” Simon always does find the nicest way to put it.

“I hope they have kids together.” You remark.

“Yeah? I hope Cabot confesses to him and he turns her down and then Fairchild has to deal with being the rebound forever.” You sip water from your canteen.

“That's cold, Amos. That's void-cold.” Garret whispers.

“Huh, weird electrical discharge.” You frown down at your scanner, “Is there a storm coming? It looked like a lightning strike.”

“No, not from what I can see. Meteorological readings mention light rain and low cloud cover and, of course, fog...but no thunderstorms.”

The smoking, charred head of a Morgan II comes flying out of the fog.

“Is that him?” You read another lightning strike in the opposite direction, “Alright, that's definitely some sort of long-ranged weapon. Horizontal lightning isn't a natural phenomenon, no matter how high up in the hills we are or how low the cloud cover is.”

“Well, technically...” Simon starts, then dodges as a beam of blue lightning flashes by him.

“Technically nothing. Let's go wreck this thing.” Garret growls. “Chop chop.”

“Literally.” You agree. The three of you head off in the direction of the light, and up ahead, you see a strange-looking mech hovering a few meters above the ground. Electricity crackles around it in a sphere, and jolts between its feet and the stones as it lifts one arm to point at you. It looks...old. Not the parts themselves, but the design. Odd proportions. Its shoulders are large, and its forearms, displaying some sort of whirring turbine in each. Its head is tall, cylindrical, reminiscent of a stovepipe. It's the color of cloudy steel, save for its piercing, blue eyes. Somehow, it isn't quite what you expected.

“Uh, that's it, right?” You question, wishing you'd had a better look at the Gerin.

“Does it matter?” Garret asks, “It's hostile, we take it out.”

>>
>>1151155
I think that this is a Armored heavy frame with Super Heavy arms, and judging by their size I would bet in Medium Heavy legs and head, but Wong rarely does it and it wouldn't make much sense for a Paladin(as they don't care about things like CP and weight limits)...
The Armor is probably Super Heavy too.... If it has armor, because he can be a super narcisist that trusts absolutely on his shield.
I also bet on it having MA12, and a Beam gun fluffed as a Lightning cannon.
Also, shield surge.
>>
>>1151126
Open comms.

"GodDAMN your mech is ugly. Holy shit."
>>
>>1151185
Well, a surge shield is dangerous if we were using standard melee weapons. I think EMW are safe. Just.. don't get grappled by it. Think that lightning is 8 kills too.
>>
>>1151200
Getting a good look at it, the thing may very well be a hand to hand fighter. Physical fists amped up by a surge shield to increase it's power. Would be a painful melee combo, even if the shield is just 8-9 SP. Garret with a missile and us with our own could temporarily shut it down, but we don't know it's cool down.
>>
>>1151250
Don't forget the +2 grip, but I doubt that it is just 8SP... Wasn't something there about it being ablative? And the cool down is probably the minimum possible... If I remember the house rules well, it means that it continues down for the rest of the turn plus the next one.

Belegor is probably even more powerfull though, so this one probably isn't full focused on hand to hand... Its sounding too simple for a Paladin though, I think that he has something up his sleeve that he will surprise us with, we should be careful.
>>
>>1151250
Probably he has Shock hands too.
Yep, this one would be a good fight for the Kaiser.
>>
>>1151312
>>1151347
Well there really aren't that many weapons that are more than 8 kills. Even the Kaiser's fists are only 8. As for the ablative, it was an assumption, but if it's a shock shield, making it ablative is a bad idea.
Think the lightning is 10 kills instead of 8 too, if it can send a morgan two head flying.

>>1151882
http://pastebin.com/PYBz8aJ2
I suspect Wong might have changed the shield though. I made it with the Knuckle Kaiser in mind and I dont think a matter only shield would do much here. You can get one that blocks everything at 8SP to still fit the energy pool though pretty sure.
>>
>>1151897
Also like the name Eclair assuming this is a fake out and its not the actual Gerin.

Hey am I the only one who thinks ford sounds a bit like foudre? Might just be because I suck at french.
>>
>>1151918
I was honestly thinking the truck manufacturer. Either way, that is a nasty combo there.Heavy missiles or our EMW will cut through it though. Just need to get past that attack factor.
>>
>>1151942
Also shock damage is reduced by alpha, beta and gamma armor which is a pretty important detail I wish I knew about when I was making it.
>>
>>1151958
So with our shield, that punch is nothing. 8 from gamma, 4 from beta. Probably A class as well. Either way, if the Squillia can land a punch to the torso, it's done.
>>
>>1151974
Beta armor gets half SP and Gama gets full so yeah 8 and 3.5 rounded up to 4. Now that said thats assuming Wong didnt add anything new to it and that its not actually the Gerin.

Hey gents, I forgot where the rules for how much your mech can lift are. Can someone tell me the page number?

Where are the rules for Mech size? Heightwise, that is.
>>
>>1152116
IIRC its in cloaking? I think it's 1.5 times the kill value in the servo.
>>
>>1152129
The torso servo. That's for humanoid mecha though. There is no rule for nonhumaniod.
>>
>>1152136
I assumed it would be the same length, just in whatever orientation. 33 meters long on a tank instead of 33 meters tall on a humanoid.
>>
>>1152129
Cloaking mentions height values but I'm not seeing it anywhere on the pages in the ATM.

>>1152162
You'll need to ask Brazil then. He's the one that told me it was 1.5 times kills.

I did make this one though. It's a lot like a bolo, except its crewed by people. I forgot to figure out how much each storage module would fit though. I may go back and redo that.
http://pastebin.com/y7yEfrM6

Each storage module holds half a ton.

>>1152228
I meant in Corvette scale.

Oh. 5 tons each then right?
>>
>>1152243
It would need a lot more storage modules to match the pictures then. I'll fix it eventually.
>>
>>1152246
It also says that each storage module can hold 1 roadstriker and 10 can hold a regular mech.
>>
If a Superlight Mech is only 3 Meters tall, how the hell do they fit a cockpit in the torso? Thing must be super cramped.

And a Superlight Roadstriker is basically just a skateboard or a bike.

>>1152183
>>1152189

Make that a Light Heavy Mech and a Medium Striker Roadstriker. 1.8 Meters is a good 15 cm shorter than my actual height.

I think that a Superlight would look more like some sort of super power armor if you go by the 1.5 rule.
But you can always houserule it.

Talking about this, if you guys could choose the height of your mecha loosely based on the 1.5 rule, what would you choose? Please take in consideration that the proportions suggested by armor too, as a "normal looking" humanoid mech in this universe usually have an armor one level higher than their servos, what would make mechs with lesser armor look more slender than normal.

I imagine the Walkure with 16m and a slim outlook as it was somewhat based on the Villkiss, but it would probably also look a little more fragile than others heavy strikers because of it.
>>
>>1152652
Noted.

Admittedly, choosing from a range between 1.25 and 1.75 might allow a greater degree of customizability.

As for Tourney mech heights, the Myrmidon follows the 1.5 rule exactly, making it 12 meters tall.
>>
>>1152652
wait... so the M-Sagiser is a mix of medium and armored Heavy... that'd make it how tall?

as for what superlight would look like... I imagine those things from infinite stratos (i think that was the name) combined with an armored space suit.
>>
>>1152699
ok... so 24 Meters tall since the 1.5 rule is for the torso only right?
>>
>>1152725
Sounds about right. Its basically a mobile armor.
>>
>>1152652
At first I said something like a turreted Shadowsword, but since Baneblade variants are only 13.5 meters long, I guess something more akin to a flying, tank shaped boat.

>>1152687
I think that's what they intended, for people to choose their own scales. That just doesn't work well without a reference point.
>>
>>1152743
It was still incredibly dumb for them to tie cloaking to height instead of weight.

>>1152774
Poor Aquatic mechs also get no love.
>>
>>1152774
But running cloaking checks on height and then not having consistent rules for height is just asking for abuse.

>>1152785
yeah for a while I was trying to figure out if I could use a hydro cannon to fill hexes of space with water just to make a gimmicky space aqua mech...sadly water does not stick around in space... it boils and freezes at the same time and ends up as a cloud of ice crystals... might make for a thematic smoke screen I guess...
>>
>>1152788
Like I said, they intended for people to determine their own height scales (either a multiplier like they did, or I'd imagine something like saying X class is Y to Z meters tall.) A GM could just no-sell something that's abusive, or realized something's OP and fiddle it into not being so. The GM was supposed to self moderate the rules for height and cloaking he set.
>>
>>1152652
Going by that. The Libra is 15 meters tall. Considering the Brasta is 18.2 meters it's a bit shorter than the source mech.
>>
>>1152839
So... its a Medium striker with Heavy striker size?
What is the pic again?
>>
So, is a Mediumweight Mech supposed to be the "Average" mech? Cause it's pretty fucking big.
>>
>>1152839
Well the Zaku II is suppose to be 18.2 and the Dutchman is about 12 meters tall. Then again, it's suppose to be 73.7 tonnes and the Dutchman is certainly lighter than that.
>>
>>1152857
18 meters is about the height for most mechs in Gundam, the Zaku II was 17.something meters tall and both the original GM and Gundam were 18 meters tall exactly.
>>
>>1152870
The Zaku II also weighed about 74 tons.

27 Meters tall. ~88.5 feet tall.

Thanks. Like I said, I ain't got the book right now so I couldn't just check how many kills Armored Heavy was.

Hmm, an alternative way of determining height would be to add torso and legs kills together. It would make sense for tanks and other non-humanoids to be shorter, after all.

>>1152914
>The Hero

I'm not going to say anything.

Isn't the base cost of your mech 121 CP? That's only 19 CP for Weapons and Options.
>>
>>1152969
But what if its something like the Bigro that only has 3 servos but is still huge?
>>
>>1152969
Oh no. I'm not talking about one for the tourney, I'm not in that. I'm talking about a separate game I'm in based on this. The Hero X is a fucking behemoth, two arms, two legs, two wings, torso, head, all Armored Heavy with likewise armor (Beta, of course), with a hyper sword that zips around at like 25 MA, and a -1 MV.

That stupid fucking sword is like, a quarter of its point cost on its own. But it's sooo worth it.

I asked him about using avian and he Ok'd it but I decided to change the sagiser so it had wings of a sort, that way even if I don't get the avian form or wing bonus all the time I can still fly.
http://pastebin.com/sR0KhwEu
>>
>>1153156
err...I mean since its avian form and has wings via metaform limbs it can definitely fly now unlike the mecha beast form, so I don't really care if I don't get the avian form MA bonus, just being able to fly is enough and I have enough MA to fly with wings deployed or not.
>>
>>1153049
That's what scaling is for. Corvettes are literally just the continuation of the normal scale. The Bigro, by its size in the show, would be a Striker class Corvette.

>>1153074
The Tarrasque doesn't have 1-to-1 equivalence with the Big Zam.
>>
>>1153169
>The Tarrasque doesn't have 1-to-1 equivalence with the Big Zam.
Its literally the big zam. The only thing its missing is toe missiles.
>>
>>1153169
Wouldn't a corvette scale Striker have 60 Kills in the torso? With the 1.5 height multiplier that's way too big to be the Bigro.
>>
>>1153176
It's also far smaller than the Big Zam. The big Zam is 60 Meters tall. The Tarrasque is 33.

>>1153189
Huh, I could have sworn is was x5. It's a Lightweight Corvette then. Trade in one of the kills for extra space and it'll have 30 Torso Kills when it scales up.

Lightning fills the air. The storm mech stares you down. It has, like the Pumpkinseed II, a cross-shaped eyeslit that flashes with pale blue light. It steps back into a stance, and points at you. You're expecting speech, but at that moment an unfortunate Tulwar does a flyby. Its cannon speaks loudly, but the elecrosphere halts the munitions in midair and drops them harmlessly to the ground, then a bolt of lightning from the static cloud around the storm mech's forearm tears it apart in a fireball.

The storm mech shrugs guiltlessly at you. It doesn't seem too bothered by the interruption. Is it challenging you to single combat, or trying to engage all three of you at once. What an odd thing.

You know what, though? No. Avalonians might like this whole game of duels and honor, but Ford's forces have burned cities and slaughtered civilians, even killed their own. You aren't playing this game.

“Squad advance.” You order, “Take it out.” The three of you advance, sensor cores glowing in your head servos. The S-Squilla's harpoon hangs out of its mouth like a tongue. You tap the (deactivated) end of your beam lance against one palm while holding it in your other hand. The S-Pyxicephalus hisses steam from its vents. The storm mech quails a little.

Lightning glows beneath its feet, thunder gathering in its palms...and then it abruptly spins around and zips away in the other direction, pumping its overlong arms with its hands held in loose, poorly formed fists.

Now this... I looked and no where does it state that you need to account for reloads weight in either core or the ATM, and unless Wong comes from on high to deliver a divine message about it I'm hesitant to do it.

Garret opens fire, and so do you, as Simon charges at it. You follow him after you squeeze off your shots. From behind, the storm mech's odds of dodging are remarkably attenuated...and indeed, it gets hit several times, but the plasma diffuses into the electrosphere. It doesn't even pause to gloat.

“Hey, come back here!” Garret ignites thrusters and follows, catching up with Simon in short order, and your Delphinius overtaking them both easily. You think the storm mech might be making more motions than it has to, it seems to be magnetically levitating or something in lieu of more normal thruster setups, zipping over the ground at a fantastic pace. Meter by meter, Garret and Simon's slower mecha fall behind. Whatever this thing is, it's around the same speed as the Delphinius, fast enough to stay ahead of it pelting through the fog despite every sign that it's panicking and doing its best to get away.

“Allo allo! This is Beauregard Squad and Marcel Squad, we'll help you out, sir!” With a cheer, a group of Pumpkinseeds join in, flying alongside you and shooting their rifles into the air.

The storm mech's head swivels around, and you swear the blue glow of its sensor core widens as it spots the ongoing chase. It waves its arm back at you in a 'go away!' gesture and accidentally trips through a copse of trees, setting them ablaze with static jolts of electricity as it wriggles its way between their trunks. It turns and delicately knocks a few down with a kick, waggling its hands at the side of its head in a mocking gesture...until it sees your posse gaining altitude to just fly over, which causes it to jump and sprint away again, arms waving wildly.

People seriously think this?

Why would ammo have weight stored inside a servo, then not have weight when mounted on the servo?

Even beyond that, your logic is wrong. When you make ammo, you calculate their structural kills as well. If anything has a kill value, it has weight.

Ammo reloads still weight even if they aren't inside of a servo, they aren't weightless, the ATM says that "the clips don't have weight themselfs but their weight is calculated by their shots."

I think the system can't get any more confusing and poorly worded, and then it gets worse. I'm seriously apprehensive about Mekton Zero now.

Also, that just makes internally mounted projectile weapons straight up inferior to handheld ones.

Like seriously, fuck. The more I think the stupider it is. What were they thinking?

Internally mounted projectile weapon ammo now takes up space AND has weight, while handheld weapons don't have to worry about either, and the only tradeoff they get is not having to spend an action to use a different ammo. Whoop de do, too bad you have about 1/3rd of the ammo and spent the same amount of CP fitting it in the mech and doing weight efficiency.

They don't even have the advantage of having armor protection while handheld weapons don't on a crit. The Corebook specifically says on the Special Hit table the hit weapon gets armor protection.

I mean, seriously, you'd be at a -4 to hit a weapon when you call it. How did they not know internally mounted weapons are complete garbage.

This is getting to me way too much. I'm legitimately mad about this.

>>1153793

"Ammunition always takes up Space unless it is a reload for a handheld weapon."

Unless there is something in the errata, this means your gun, fully loaded, will have some spaces and weight from ammo. Reloads, however, have no spaces and no weight. Period.
>>
>>1153875
So you just don't calculate the kill value of reloads?

Doesn't that mean you can't even hit handheld PW reloads?

You know what? It's time for Wong rules.

Ammo adds Spaces to a gun as the ATM demands. This makes sense, the more ammo space your gun has (internal or external) the less you have to reload it, the tradeoff is the size of the gun.. Swapping out a mag takes an Action regardless of whether it's internal or external.

Ammo has neither kills nor weight. If it takes damage it's destroyed. This is an absolute. No kills. No weight. Ever.

Can anyone name a reason why it should not be so?

Where is the part of it not having weight? Is this a houserule? This is where I'm confused.

Man, ammo with no weight doesn't make much sense when we are talking about giant metal machines, it makes sense from a game perspective as calculating this is crazy, but still makes sense from logic...

>>1153904
Making life harder for people with many reloads, like the libra.
The tradeoff between Clip-Fed Beam guns and Projectiles is that Beam guns have "weightless" ammo, while Projectiles have "heavier" ammo that can have special proprieties.

>>1153904
20K Guns with 10 Round Mags will have the same Ammo weight as a 1K Gun with a 1 round mag.

Sadly, no. They've got Ziti and Chicken Parmesan pizza though.
>>
>>1153904
No. I suppose internally mounted PW will always be bad.

>>1153911
It's just that, under what the monkeys that made these rules ruled, now on top of all the other advantages handheld weapons had, they are now immune to their ammo being destroyed as well.

Though, if they're not, doesn't that mean that since all their ammo is destroyed whenever it's hit, some guy with a pistol could destroy all the ammo of a mech with one shot?

>clip-fed beam guns

They deserve it for sacrificing infinite ammo for mechanical gain. The idea that you'd be steadily losing weight in a fight annoys me anyway. DENIED! The trade-off between beam guns and projectiles in general is that projectiles have to buy ammo, but can buy more versatile, special ammo. Clip-fed beam guns don't compare directly to projectile guns, because being clip-fed at all is a weakness for a beam gun purchased for a discount on points.

>ammo with no weight doesn't make much sense

You know what else doesn't make much sense? Not having rules for weapon degradation and armor wear in Dungeons and Dragons. It's not there because nobody wants to be bothered with it. Don't quote the ATM at me or I'll get the paddle.

OK, I should clarify. In the base Mekton system, things are skewed all the way in favor of handheld PW. Servo Mounted PW are 100%, undeniably worse than handheld weapons in every way. Taking an action doesn't make up for all the things handheld weapons get in their favor.

Rolled 6, 3, 4, 3, 6, 2 = 24 (6d10)

A group of Scimitars descend through the fog. THEY have no trouble catching up and peppering the storm mech with their guns, but it puts its arms over its head and hunkers down as it runs, and their shots bounce off its shield. They might be fast, but they can't grapple it and would just get trampled if they got in the way. Some get too close, and without seeming to mean to, the storm mech shoots them down, little blades of lightning crackling inside the electrosphere and chopping the wing off one and the head off another Scimitar. You see the pilots eject safely.

Seemingly a bit worried about more Scimitars, the storm make burns a bit of its lead to pause and swivel its head back and forth, looking around. Choosing a path, it darts away into the dense forest on the other side of the hill, extending its upper body nearly horizontal and thrusting its arms out behind itself as though thinking that will make it go faster. The remaining Scims pull away, and the Pumpkinseeds are starting to fall behind. Garret and Simon are barely staying in the race, they're hundreds of meters behind you now, and you're no longer bothering to try hosing it down with beam cannon fire. The woods are dense, massive redwoods towering over four hundred feet in height. In some parts of Qu'lir, your mech loom above the trees like towers. Here, it's like being a kid playing in the woods again.

“Oh come on, that's NOT any faster! What the hell are they thinking!?” Garret demands to know as the storm mech's horizontal posture carries it directly beneath a tree that's fallen over at an angle. There's no longer any path, you're just zigzagging through and around the massive trees, and the Pumpkinseeds have long since fallen behind, although you hear them calling encouragement on your comms.

The only way you can keep up on her is full speed, and thankfully, you're JUST good enough not to go facefirst into a tree despite the fog. Your mecha zip and loop through the foliage, the electric blue glow of the storm mech's thrusters ahead your only guiding light. The trees loom in the mist like the pillars of some ancient, eldritch temple, and you skirt between them with grace that would have made Irina swoon to see you using her design so well.

Unfortunately, not quite well enough. At a certain point, you realize that you've lost visuals on Garret and Simon, “Guys?” You call out.

“I'm fine!” Simon says, “Garret hit a tree. I'm just getting him back on his feet, you're a few klicks ahead.”

“We're not away from the damned battle, that's for sure.” You grunt after checking the general comms for a moment. You sigh, and take a breath. There's nowhere for the enemy mech to hide. There's a tree stump up ahead, and although it clearly thinks it's hidden you can see the top of the storm mech's stovepipe head sticking up from where it's huddled on the other side, sitting with its knees drawn up against its chest, its mechanical hands over where ears would be on a human.

You honestly feel a little bad. All of the mecha you've actually seen this thing shoot down were indirectly hit and had a chance to eject, it challenged you to single combat, and when you refuse an entire group chased it down. No wonder the pilot is frightened, and this definitely isn't normal military behavior.

You don't approach, though, that's a good way to get caught in a trap. Instead, you open comms, “I can still see you, you know. Eject your cockpit and surrender, it doesn't have to go this way.”

“O-o-oh gods it's y-you.” You know that voice from somewhere, “Girls? Girls!? H-Help, i-it's him! It's that evil witch's bodyguard, the one who threw my aunt and I out of our own hotel!” She sounds terrified, the storm mech backscooting away from you on its butt, crabwalking on its hands and feet.

A mental image appears in your mind, of a dark-haired Qu'liri girl with fine, pale skin and large, expressive eyes the color of pine needles. You remember her sneaking off to a rebel meeting, but you haven't seen her since, “How did you...?” More importantly, though, you activate your beam lance. You just heard thunder rumble overhead.

“I...I told you I was educated on Europa! Nobody even thinks twice about that, j-just because I'm a Qu'liri!” The storm mech's fists clench, lightning gathering around them, “I was at the Academy! I was on the shortlist for SOUL pilots, but...but...” The storm mech's shoulders shake, “I-I was told privately, by the person who gave Count Ford these mecha, that he'd looked into my case. I wasn't kicked out because the school's headmaster REALLY believed I was in...in an adult video, that was just the excuse, it was all so there was a spot open for the Chairman's son to join SOUL! I'm a good pilot! I could have been an ace, but no, you Jovians wouldn't let me! Then when I tried to come home and live quietly with my aunt, you took our home away too! Then...then I made a bunch of friends in the Qu'liri Liberation Front, but you spoiled that too! You destroyed our hideout, foiled our plans, and I...I had to run away, I don't think my aunt even knows I'm still alive. Boss Palmyra's pride never recovered, that's why...that's probably why she...” You hear a sob and the mech covers its face with its hands, “S-s-so when she went crazy and things got...things got bad a-at the Dam, I ran away with Pamela and Lacelle, we were the surviving mecha forces of the QLF. We met two girls who'd been in Dame Wayland's squad living in the wilderness trying to find a way offworld, and came south to join Ford, but then...but then I had to run into you here!” She picks up a rock and throws it at you, your shield automatically moving to intercept, “I hate you! I hate you! I wish you were never born!”

“How am I the bad guy and not Ford? I'm just protecting my people too!” You protest, “Don't you know what he's done!?”

She sobs again, nodding, “I h-h-hate him. He's a monster, he's even worse than you or that blonde witch with the evil eyes, but...but if we don't fight, he'll set off the remote detonators he put in our mechs' powerplants. That's why I can't just eject and run away, if this hatch opens the bombs go off automatically.”

“Tanya, that's enough, that savage won't understand. Ford is out of control, and without another Paladin to bring him back in line, we're the only ones who can stop him, and we can't do that until this battle is over. The Green Man Duchess Maria spoke of will surely bring him to heel, it shares the inhuman wisdom of the Lady.” You hear another familiar voice, it's the first Knight you beheaded on Qu'lir, one of two Elizabeth Wayland traded her freedom to save.

“It's him or us.” Another voice interjects, unfamiliar but with a strong Avalonian accent, “I don't like these Teslas, I'd rather have something with a real gun, so that I can smash that jumped up traitor when-”

As two more of the storm mechs land, the first one backhands the one speaking, “Hush! What if Count Ford can hear us!? He might just decide to set all the bombs off on a whim.”

There's a reason he was sent to a backwater planet and not on the Solar System mission.

First hit goes to the head to take out the primary sensors. This gives a -2 to all combat actions. Then take the hit to make a called shot at the backup sensors. This drops them to -4 and makes a called shot to shut off the power core feasible, since their offense is reduced to basically nothing.

Could always auto flub their rolls. We did take out their cockpits the first time we were at the dam. Either way, I think we might have stumbled upon a good end for them just because we've been a generally good person.

M-Sagister

Beam Guns don't work like EMW to calculate weight, so it weights 3.5tons if you don't make it Fragile... So Assume its now Fragile, what makes it weight 0.5ton.
Also, your range is 550m, not 500m.

You missiles are OK too, but could be could be more effective if you care about this.... I mean, most mechs here have at least medium striker armor, and 6K missiles would just cause 2K of damage per hit.
3x10K missiles with WA+2 and 1Space would cost the same thing, and thats not mentiioning the new possibilities opened by your new 0.5 less weight.

You snort with bitter laughter, “Inhuman wisdom? Look, it's not going to be that simple, the Green Man there is cra-”

“HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!” Another storm mech, a Tesla, lands a few hundred meters behind you, “Is that you, Blue Knight!? Wow, that's a CUTE mech! Isn't it, Pamela? Hee, ours look pretty good together, don't they?” Her Tesla poses seductively, one hand on its hip, the other behind its head, the eyeslit lighting up more on one side as if winking.

“We should've kidnapped him and the pretty boy with the purple hair and done that plan to seduce them, with the baths and the rescuing them from being gay and everything, Lacelle.” A fifth Tesla lands nearby, the five forming a rough pentacle around you, “It's like a big blue Punkinseed.” She pronounces it punkin, yes, “Also, don't be a bitch Sabrina.” She points at the Avalonian who complained about the Tesla, “These are great! Belt-made, pirate construction, NO respect for IP, no shortcuts for the sake of profit margins, infinite-ammo guns...”

“Yes yes~!” Lacelle agrees, “You and Emily...” Presumably Emily is Elizabeth Wayland's younger sister, “Just don't get it 'cause you're Avalonian nobles who see Paladins n'stuff all the time, but these are great.”

“Except if we leave, we die.” Emily Wayland points out flatly.

“We won't die even if we're killed.” Pamela promises, “Lacelle doesn't want to admit it, but Little Boy Blue there's the next snackeroo on our menu.”

“Nyaaa! Don't mischaracterize me! We agreed, we're doing this together!” Lacelle's Tesla stomps its foot.

You frantically mutter into the comms while they're distracted, “Guys please hurry, I'm about to get violated.”

You weren't quiet enough. Lacelle and Pamela's Teslas both nod smugly, “Yeah, you are.” Pamela says, with the sound of someone licking their lips.

“Poor little Jovian boy.” Lacelle agrees. They both snicker, “And his poor little friends. Hey, hey Tanya, can their artillery mech get through your shields?”

Tanya, the dark-haired SOUL candidate, shakes her mech's head.

Lacelle and Pamela's Teslas high-five triumphantly. Emily's and Sabrina's simultaneously facepalm.

“Can I just kill them?” Sabrina asks, plaintively.

It's only pure, sheer luck that you see it. This clearing isn't exactly grassy, but there's a lot of weeds and heather and other assorted greenery...and you notice, abruptly, two flattened-down patches behind Lacelle's mech. Lacelle's mech landed where it's standing, so those can't be its footprints. As you watch, they become mildly deeper, pebbles shifting into the depressions as invisible feet move around. You check your ASP. There's a suspicious amount of nothing there. You whistle and get out your PC, bringing up the contact information for a certain person and making some inquiries. You've seen the S-Betta's schematics, and unlike most SOUL mecha it's gone the extra step and has a Target Analyzer installed, something you desperately want despite space being at such a premium in your hyper-efficient, hyper-modern, hyper-lethal mech. You ask Blanchett to please not start tranquilizing the Teslas, and to instead send you their schematics, communicating with her via text about the location and trigger systems of the bombs. This is going to be EXTREMELY tricky...but as you overlay the schematics onto the mecha on your screen, you do see a way.

“Nobody is getting killed here today.” You say firmly. “None of you. This isn't your fault, but I should warn you, the Green Man on Qu'lir has rotted for decades. Your own sister said he's nothing like the lady, when she wasn't getting hysterical over what she saw it do."

“Elizabeth, hysterical? Liar, you really expect us to believe that!?” Wayland's Tesla draws a beam saber and points it at you.

“How dare you insult the Green Men!?” Sabrina's arm-mounted generators whir into full power, “The Lady MAY have eternally shamed the Rothschild family by putting the bastard Eustace at its head, but even a distaff poor cousin like me will be DAMNED to hear you speak ill of-”

“Shut up. Both of you, shut up.” It's little Tanya, surprisingly, and her voice is like steel as she levers herself to her feet, “I don't know what that thing Palmyra dug up was, I don't want to know, but we saw what it did. If that's really what the Lady is like, I'd rather be bullied by the Jovians.”

“We lost friends.” Lacelle points out mournfully.

You send two more messages.

“Yeah. I didn't want to say anything, but Lacy and I kinda thought we could self-destruct on it when Ford dug it up.” Pamela admits, then hisses as she realizes what she just said. For several moments, nobody moves, but the bomb doesn't go off. Ford must not be listening. You hear all five sigh with relief.

“That's fine. I'm going to do some surgery on those bombs.” You tell them.

“What!? No!” Tanya shrieks, “We'll die!”

“You'll die if you stay in there.” You tell her, “This is the only way.”

Emily growls, “This is preposterous, you are NOT going to beat us and our lives, alas, are probably doomed.”

“Not today.” Garret says, as a missile streaks through the air.

The plan was for Garret to use his emergency head-mounted missiles to take down the shields of two of them immediately, then you would attack and, although it takes some precision (you lose the +2 WA of your beam lance) you think you can cut them out without the bombs going off immediately. Yes, the explosives are set to detonate if the cockpit armor opens to eject the cockpit ball, but if you angle above it the right way you can burn out the connections between the ball and the bomb and cut the cockpit out before it goes off.

The thing is, Garret's first shot shoots the bomb right out of Palmyra's mech, along with her powerplant. Her mech falls over facedown, lit from above by an explosion that sends the others reeling. That's one saved in one shot, much better than you were expecting, each of these could easily be a full-fledged SOUL mech with a little tweaking and the logo on their shoulder. His second missile explodes right underneath Pamela's mech's arm, putting a crater in her torso armor, and giving you an opportunity to slice it open from the side, slicing backwards and using your left arm to yank her cockpit ball out through the rear of her mech. You stab at Lacelle too, but she hisses and reflexively jumps away, avoiding your attempts to help her.

“Stop this at once, you barbarian! I would rather die than be saved by you, you...you ruffian!” Emily Wayland huffs.

A shadow falls over the battlefield, and with a roar that doesn't come from the Mandrake powering it but from Simon himself, the huge, lanky S-Squilla touches down in the midst of the fighting. Its eyes gleam as it looms over Sabrina's Tesla, drawing one huge hand back, overlapping barrier fields like a multitude of plasma blades glowing around its hands and forearms. It looks like its fingers are just shining, from a distance, but up close you can see the layer upon layer of articulated fields and plasma bubbles, like an armor of flames. Splaying its fingers wide, it carefully stabs them through the electrosphere and digs the tips into the torso armor of the Tesla, its other arm digging its claws in from the side and just...ripping it open, tearing the powerplant away and hugging the cockpit ball of the pilot against his chest as the powerplant explodes. Lacelle's chest-mounted generator crackles, prepared to fire a beam of lightning (and the QM apologizes for any earlier suggestion that lightning was fired from the forearms of these mecha) but it's nowhere near fast enough. The S-Squilla moves in a blur, punching through shield and armor plating alike to rip the Qu'liri free too so quickly you aren't really sure what it did.

The only one left is Emily Wayland, and whether she snaps or whether because she thinks if she doesn't fight, as the last one remaining, she'll be killed by Count Ford, she charges you. You see the thunder crackling around her forearms and remember what happened to poor Keith when he fought the S-Betta...which, you're glad to see, has the discretion not to interfere. You sidestep left, sidestep right, avoid her shots, feint high and watch her dodge, feint right and watch her sidestep...and her back hits the stump that Tanya was originally hiding behind. She stumbles, and you deftly step past, carve out her cockpit ball, and pull it free. True to your word, you rescued all five women and defeated five Teslas.

You hold your beam lance up in silent salute, the glowing blade lighting up the forest. Go SOUL. Go Jupiter.

>>
Meanwhile, unbenownst to you, Count Ford looks down at one of the holoscreens in the cockpit of the Gerin, seeing a cluster of five specially-marked ally contact icons wink out virtually simultaneously. For just a moment, the maddened wolf of Avalon blinks. His thumb hits a detonator reflexively, but...nothing happens. No grand chain reaction explosion, no pillar of smoke above the trees. Nothing. He snarls, and hits the button again, and again, and again. He jams his thumb into it until the plastic splinters, then throws it to the ground and crushes it underfoot. For the first time in a very long time, he feels something strange and unexpected.

Something he associates most with the greatest humiliation of his life, when he faced down the smiling Sir Gavin Hayward, lover to the Plantagenet Queen.

It's cold, and unpleasant, like an eel slithering down his back. Lucas Ford is a man who has killed thousands, a number multiplied vastly when you consider the work of his troops as his own. He has brought terrible fear and pain to others, and yet that cold hand he thought he had pushed so far from his being has him by the shoulder once again.

What monsters have the Jovians sent to face him?

No, he tells himself. This is some trick those girls used to escape an honest death. Some foolish, stupid trick, and when he realizes what they did he will laugh and be momentarily amused as he executes them all. Yes, just as soon as he figures out what they did. Of course, he'd be a poor lord if he didn't punish them personally.

He marks the last location of the five Teslas purchased from an ally at great cost on his map, and the Gerin leaps from the bow of his battleship. It's time to go hunting.

Well they can't go back to either jove or Avalon. If a bunch of information was slipped out, and we just so happen to lose Hector and Liz while doing the finishing touches on the Greenman, I am sure there are some actual barns they could buy.. or actually joining up to be pilots for Roarke. Or you know, become soul pilots under Amos' command. Amos is probably Captain rank about now just by merits alone.

Game resumes tomorrow. I rather like the Gerin despite myself, it's a sort of break away from the traditional Paladins you've already seen. It's probably stronger than the Anseis, too, and the Engeler. The Berenger never unleashed its melee mode, so I don't know how well it would stand up, but for a lot of the Paladins I come up with the concept and THEN see how it looks on paper, so their costs vary wildly.
>>
>>1155332
So, is it a fist fighter?

Will Simon unleash the biocore?
>>
>>1155328
They really are. Wong was right. This isn't the easiest path, but we may very well get the best end for Qu'lir if things hold. Getting those three catgirls into SOUL after their experiences and what the Paladin and Greenman did to them would make the bonds between the two planets better. Biomod haters would likely back off a bit when they hear how a greenman did horrible things to them and the Gerin put bombs in their mechs and forced them to fight. Amos likely has enough clout to push for their addition to his team and the release of data can ruin the morale of Avalon.

Pretty much. Berserker with some fire imbue and a ridiculous amount of health.
The advantage to this is that our team is probably the best designed for Ablative shields, 'tons of hp', and simple moves. Amos has missiles capable of eating through ablative with some luck and aiming. Garret's gun array can shred away ablative shields with a hit, and can do ridiculous amounts of damage if he gets a full burst. After that, it's Simon and his tongue and his own fists.
Best plan would be surrounding him, and making it hard for him to just smack us all. Take shots at his back, use aim actions before he gets close, set up ambush, and prepare something special; a pile of those teslas and some fuse bombs hidden with them claymore mine style. Hide behind the pile, have him walk in, detonate. We are not going to play fair with him. We have no reason to. Maybe have the Squillia munch on a limb to draw his attention.
>>
>>1155397

That's the thing about Garret. You'd be forgiven for thinking he's done the least of this SOUL Squad, but his Pyxicephalus is basically the ultimate evolution of the hard-hitting artillery mech. It's heavily armored (SP 8), and each of its bulky forearms conceals a twin-linked beam gatling that altogether can hit an individual target TWENTY FOUR times per turn if he's lucky. (Four beam cannons with burst three, two actions). It's a beast of a mech.
>>
>>1155408
Against high SP, it feels lack luster, but if you were to aim it at a ship with a shield, you would be eating through well over a hundred damage to a shield. Just flat out damage that it could reliably fire out. Then you just have him attack said ship normally and watch as he keeps on critting like a champion. The Squillia is a anti ace machine with a good mix of longevity and maneuverability. The Delphinus is a swiss army knife on crack. Light and maneuverable, multi role and capable of strategic strikes, and hardy as all get out. The biggest thing though, is that they work so damn well together. Simon can hold an enemy for Garret and Amos. Amos can screen for Simon or Garret. Garret can provide cover fire for Biggs and Wedge. They are an amazingly balanced team.
>>
>>1155418
And a scary thought that hit me with Garret, is that if he so chooses, he can just EAT right through a machine's armor and potentially kill systems with ease. Make it so each gun hits something different and roll those bones. 24 die rolls means at least some will hit that 10. Then there is a very real chance of ending someone because a 7 or 10 can either core them or make them explode.
>>
These five man band guys must have some pretty serious production facilities. Did Simon and Amos dodge the attack factor EMWs or does it not have them anymore?
>>
>>1155463
Wait never mind, they probably only go off on your own turn.

Hey BR, when making a hybrid mech with wings, which do you do first: add the MA bonus from a set of wings, or multiply the base propulsion due to hybrid form?
>>
Holy shit surge shields are expensive. Still you can fit them on with only about a 20 CP increase if you choose to go ranged or melee only.
http://pastebin.com/TpJ7by8N

Also for mechs with the same servos and armor as the Knuckle Kaiser they got torn apart really quickly. Guess that shows what a difference skill makes. Skill and having a shield you can actually parry with.

Thats fine, and so long as we get data, having our avalonians go to the belt and discuss things before the auction can make the proceedings easier. Remember; rescuing Naomi, solidifying our place, keeping Lori safe, and dealing with Cabot or Fairchild should be things we should carefully strive for during this auction. The more info we have and evidence we control, the easier it is to that.

>>1155995
Makes you think, doesn't it? We know Bahamut Corp and Buchapres left the belt for the most part. That means that tech and factories have likely been sold or given away. It fits with what we know about Hector's mech and it using a Bahamut corp drop pod. Either we got a traitor or the megacorp is planning some dirty deeds. Just need to figure out the guy's name.

>>
>>1156033
Well.. the thing is that while it's one nasty piece of work, it has a few flaws to keep it's costs down. First off, no range. You throw or drop it, then you run. With a blast of 20, that is very.. very far. Second, it's power lies less in sheer force and more, you are applying this in a huge circle. This would hit every civvy, every knight, and every soldier in that zone and KEEP hitting for a minute. If the enemy has a active or reactive shield, one spot is going to be hit really bloody hard. Having a active shield on the torso and being below medium class will have you die outright. However, this is all undodgable and in some cases, not worth blocking since you'd lose your limb.. though the other outcome is 4 random locations. Unless you are packing 10 SP hero armor, you will take that one kill per spot. Even with our three amigos, it's something you need to plan and aim accordingly... and Iok has it.
>>1156057
Lucas did say he bought them at great cost, so chances are these are wartime merchants.
>>
>>1156064
>.. and Iok has it

Be prepared for DANGER CLOSE!.
>>
>>1156020
I do find it mildly concerning that the Martians and Jovians are using it instead of the Kestrals. Mainly because the Nighthawk is a nasty little machine that I'd really rather Fairchild not surprise us with.
>>
>>1156075
Less dangerous than the nukes and megabass, but definetly cheaper. The issue of course is that anything carrying it are bound to be priority targets and done before a battle starts. If they lose and still have some of those bombs, then it can be used against them.

Also, the Idea of having a Soul D made of cats was really cool and would probably help relations with the locals... But it would be a shame to not recruit any aces or get extra machines on this trips as a wedding present to Roark, we should at least take the Avalonians and their machines if possible... And the belt could be a good hiding place to them if they just want to get out of this war, or at least we could sell them back for Kirito, asking him for the price of transporting them dafely to him and maybe keeping their machines...

So, regarding the poor girls, I've tried to digest the discussion into a few questions. Feel free to link here with votes, or just call me an idiot. Whichever works
1. What to offer the girls:
A) Samantha's Phone number
B) A place in Jupiter's forces (Not sure if we have the authority for this.)
C) Choice
D) Prison for everyone!
2. Should We ask Samantha to reccomend the aunt to Rosita?
A) Yes
B) No
3. Should either of the above two choices be dependent on Spilling their military supplier.
A) Yes
B) No
4. Should the Avalonian's be treated differently than the Jovians and if so how?
A) Yes, POW time!
B) Nope.
>>
>>1156756
Amos shouldn't offer to get them in touch with the Kestrels whatsoever. Amos has no reason to want to give Soul level units with strong mechs to a band of criminals.
>>
>>1156759
sam will most likely contact them and persuade them to join
(i kinda want the storm dragons to be super courteous and kind towards them despite people thinking of them as super weird and perverted)
>>
>>1156783
Thats different then Amos putting them into contact with her. Its the difference between turning a blind eye and aiding and abetting.
>>
>>1156783
The military probably wont leave 5 big advanced mechs just lying there and they cant exactly run away with them now considering they dont have power plants or cockpits.
>>
>>1156794
They've already ejected.
>>
>>1156801
I mean they cant run away with the mechs.

As is, I see the cats most likely to join Amos and the avalonians going to the kestrels. The kestrels may be able to take two of the teslas, but not all 5 safely.

1)C
Tanya got seriously screwed by the jovians and almost cucked to death, while the other two also made it possible for us to take out the 5 mechs without serious damage when they agreed with Tanya about the greenman. Also, they are trained pilots and the avalonians have serious combat experience and could be used for both PR and fighting. But the kestrels having them would at least still keep them on SSL side of sorts and could be their way out of this mess after all if they don't want to work to "normie oppressors".
2)A)
Why not? She didn't even got involved on this, its the minimum we can do after all the mess we did on her life.
3)A)
Hey, this is the minimum they could do after all the shooting, taking hostages and threatening our people.

4)A)
You mean the surviving Knights? Yeah, we take them prisioner and claim moral superiority over Avalon in this sector. Also, they will probably feed us with much more precise knowledge on Avalon and their internal shenanigans if possible.
>>1156783
Hahahaha, I can imagine Oda doing this.

Yeah, thats reasonable, just imply that even if they don't want to join, helping us would garantee they don't going to prision.

So, aside from a light grilling, if these are important machines, someone will come looking. So, set up the ambush as mentioned earlier. Aim actions, use the smoke and fog and all that for cover, and have the Squillia serve as the lure as it munches on a limb. He sees it? Start playing Welcome to the Jungle and activate the trap.

I've been thinking, is there a rule against taking two main sensor systems? Since Wong uses the version of Striker sensors with 2K, isn't the only reason to take main sensors over backups the extra 2 CP cost?

Simon finishes extracting Tanya from her mech, and from its cockpit ball, freeing her to join the others. The five women huddle in two groups, the Qu'liri seem a lot more grateful than the two Avalonians.

Emily Wayland looks much like a younger version of her big sister in some ways, with pale green hair worn in a long green mane, a small and tomboyish nose, and a huffy attitude that pretends at civility despite its natural roughness. Sabrina de Rothschild, by contrast, looks like an elf from an ancient Terrain fairy tail. Her features are sharp, her ears long and pointed, her hair a sunny blonde, and her expression naturally somewhat feral despite the cheerful sunflower-shaped hair ornament she wears.

Sabrina and Emily sit separately from the Qu'liri, talking with the air of PoWs and shooting grudging glances at the natives as Tanya dashes over to join Lacelle and Pamela, who hug her and ruffle her hair vigorously. The two older cats, tall and fit and much more combative-looking when they aren't wearing the frilly attire of maids, seem to be having a good time and are quite chatty and relieved to have escaped death. The phrase “I already have a girlfriend.” Is simultaneously repeated for about the sixth time by the three of you SOUL pilots by the time Tanya is freed.

“I'm sorry about your hotel.” You tell her, “I swear, there was a good reason for it. One of the components for one of our mecha needed sunlight for it to reach operable stage, and apparently the hotel was in the right spot and had the right amount of sun and...” Your voice trails off, “I'm sorry, none of that makes up for losing your home or what happened to you. It isn't right. I'm going to talk to the Colonel or the General or whoever I have to go through to make sure you get justice.”

Her ears flatten back, and she looks down at her feet, “But I'm an enemy combatant, I don't deserve any of that.”

You shake your head, “You're a citizen under the protection of the Solar System League who was forcibly conscripted by a Paladin of Avalon and made to fight under threat of force, and even then you tried to avoid it...I just won't bring up that it was leading us into a trap...and under those circumstances you do have rights that it's my job as an officer of the UJCIDF to see upheld. Believe it or not, Irina cares too.”

“Who's Irina?” Tanya questions, “That brown cat who was with you? She had funny ears, one of her parents must have been a normie.”

“No, that's Marilyn.” You correct her, “Irina is, well, she's the one who evicted you.” You hold up a hand to forestall her angry comment, “She didn't want to. The orders came from way higher up, she didn't have a choice but to do it.”

The dark-haired Qu'liri puffs out her cheeks, “She didn't have to be so rude!”

“I think that's how she forced herself through it. It takes a really cruel sort of monster to do evil with a smile.” You reply, “You being angry at her at least gave her some sense of being punished for it. Trust me, she wasn't happy. I'm her boyfriend, I know these things.”

“Nyaaaw.” Lacelle grins, “That's sho shweet.”

“Nyohohoho!” Pamella chuckles, then her ears droop, “I just realized, now we have no one to feed us.”

Lacelle claps her hands to her cheeks, “W-what are you saying, Pammy!? We're not...we're not going to have to...”

Pamela lowers her head, “Yeah, 'fraid so. We can't even become thieves or con artists or anything cool 'cause the military is gonna know our faces. We're going to have to get real jobs.”

“Wah! I'm not going back to that life! I can't! I won't!” Lacelle wails, “I'm too fluffy to wear a hairnet! My fingernails are too nice to wash dishes!”

Pamela's lower lip quivers, “I don't have any fancy education, how am I going to pay for the kind of lifestyle I've been dreaming of?”

“Wait! We could be maids for real! Being a maid isn't hard, r-right!?” Lacelle pleads.

Pamela shakes her head, “I...I'm sorry Lacy. Real maids have to spend all day cooking and cleaning, it's really hard work. Cleaning is just a little bitty baby word but it means so many different things. Scrubbing, polishing, sweeping, dusting, mowing, blowing, hoeing...”

Lacelle's ears twitch at that last one.

“No, like, in the garden! Pulling up weeds!” Pamela corrects her before she can utter a single question.

Lacelle's ears droop, “At least there will be a handsome Master who marries us eventually...right?”

Pamela gives her a look full of pity, “That's only in the visual novels, Lacy, I'm so sorry. We don't even get a route. We'd probably be working for some fat old man with an aging trophy wife who hates us for being young and sexy.”

Lacelle wails with grief. “Nyaht fair! It's just nyaht fair!” She buries her face in her hands.

“Um, excuse me...” Simon interjects hesitantly.

Lacelle's ears perk up slightly, “What is it, cutie? Are you looking for maids and don't want to actually make us work? 'Cause we're a package deal, we swore a blood oath.”

Pamela nods seriously, “A real blood oath.”

“No, um, I'm sorry but I already have a...nevermind.” Simon sighs, “Why don't you just join up? Um, with the UJCIDF, I mean?”

Three sets of feline ears perk up simultaneously. Tanya sniffs, “That's not funny, I almost took you seriously.”

“N-n-no w-w-wait! I m-m-mean it!” Simon stammers, “SOUL doesn't have a limited number of slots anymore, it NEEDS good pilots! You said you were a SOUL candidate, well, now's your chance. And you two too! You're both decent pilots, if you can pass the tests in the sims I'm sure you'll get fast-tracked into SOUL.”

You glance at the damaged Teslas, “Wouldn't it save SOUL a bunch of money because they already have machines?”

Garret nods, “Intellectual property is a stupid idea anyway. So long as SOUL isn't cloning the Teslas and is using the originals...and manufacturing the appropriate parts isn't hard in this day and age...Bucephalus and Bahamut can't really throw a fit about it. If we win, having a SOUL squad on Qu'lir would look great on JNN, and it would do a lot for the status of the natives. If we make it out alright, I'll talk to Trevor and see if dad's willing to go for it.”

“Dad?” Tanya asks.

“Luther Luxol.” You clarify.

Tanya frowns, then says simply, “I feel a lot better being bumped for the program for you after you saved my life, mister.” She holds her hand up firmly, looking him in the eye as Garret shakes it, “I was really sour about being replaced by some spoiled rich kid, but you're the real deal, so...” She pokes her fingertips together, “YoureallythinkI'mgoodenough?”

“Your trap worked perfectly. If it was anyone but this squad they probably would have lost. Our SOUL unit has the most modern machines using technology and strategies honed by fighting pirates and Avalon alike.” You quote word for word something you heard Irina say, “Say, what can you tell us about the Gerin?”

The three of them exchange glances, then Pamella and Lacelle both yell at at once, “Emmmm! Sabbbbyyyyyyy!”

The two Avalonians glare at them, “Don't give any information to the enemy!” Emily huffs, "Not Saracens, nor Gas Knights! They are beneath you!"

“Name, rank, and serial number only!” Sabrina barks.

Lacelle harrumphs, then frowns, “Wait, the numbers for our PCs? Hot damn, a soldier's life is fun.”

“Cute boys on e~ve~ry world.” Pamela agrees.

Tanya looks uncomfortable, “I have a career to think about and an aunt to provide for, but someday I'd like to meet someone nice, sure.”

“Stick with us, kitten, and you'll be a tigress in no time!” Pamela slings her arm around Tanya's shoulder.

“A real maneater!” Lacelle does the same.

Tanya blushes and covers her face, “S-Sure.”

“You know, I hate to interrupt the very serious and much more important questions about the Gerin, but I have to know. You two keep talking about friendship and blood oaths and all that, but you look identical, seriously identical, are you related?” Garret questions.

“We're identical twins.” Pamela remarks.

“More importantly though, we're best friends!” Lacelle insists.

Pamela nods, “It gets confusing for people who know us, so we gamble every so often to see who has to dye her hair so people can tell us apart. Sometimes we both want to dye our hair so we just gamble for fun.”

The two women nod in perfect, smug unison.

“If you want to know what the Gerin looks like, Gas Knights, stick around.” Sabrina's ears twitch and an unsettling smile crosses her face. Her legs squirm together unsettlingly, and her ears twitch, “I can hear it, like a great, flying war crime. It's somewhere close.” She peers up through the trees.

Your squad exchanges glances, “Simon, call the Pumpkinseeds. Have them do a pickup.” You announce, running to your mech ahead of them and scaling the liftwire, jumping into your ergonomically-designed cockpit seat and closing the hatch armor, the cockpit ball sealing shut with a hiss. You fire up the Delphinius, and see the other two mecha in your squad coming to life as well. Sure enough, something is coming, you see a cloud of Knights and in the middle...a large, metallic signature, although they're still a few klicks away, “Garret, contact any forces we have in the area and tell them to GET CLEAR, and then contact Lieutenant Rabban, tell him we're about to engage the Gerin. He knows what's going on.”

You break from the trees like your mech's namesake animal cresting above a wave, scanning frantically...and there you see it, in the middle of a group of Knights that look like they've been hastily modified for flight.

You frown. Can that really be the Gerin? It looks so...plain. A knight of cloudy steel, with a golden triune headpiece and a visor-shaped mask with many glowing eyeslits. In one hand it holds a sword whose temperature your ASP warns you is very close to turning the surrounding air to plasma, and in its other...you aren't sure. There's a halfcape in the violet and white of Ford's heraldry emblazoned with a snarling white wolfshead covering it. You've seen the Anseis and Berenger, this is nowhere near as ornate or...weird.

We just kicked ass, took names, and are about to go toe to toe with a Bastard Avalonian.

Also Simon got in the Not Eva unit 01, went berserk, got the sense beat back into him, and is now using it to maximum effect.

The thing sleeping in this planet turned out to be a genocidal greenman who would like nothing better than to kill every man woman and child on this planet and then spend the rest of it's existence on a genocidal purge of the rest of humanity.

Let's see, what else, oh, the zombies, those were fun. Also pants shittingly horrifying, but mostly fun.

Oh! And we punched the bitch who killed Roarke's brother in the face, so there's that.

Honestly, with the way the main villain a bunch of the plot makes sense when you consider the various groups. The protagonists are good fighters, but poor thinkers and have gotten into a sort of all or nothing mentality. The one who did leave managed to do fine, so it becomes more on principal than anything else.The mafia group was damn lazy and by the head not doing anything, loses 3 big groups with nothing to gain. Iok and the majority of the nobility are idiots due to decadence and create the likes of Not!Char who take their teachings to heart, not caring about anything but getting power.
As is, the real protagonist seems to be Not!Garma. He realized the corruption and stuff they did, and does seem to want to do the right thing. We'll see how that lasts though.

Least you aren't Calli right now. Their old Dams are falling apart and may very well break and flood the southern parts. Which is funny, because to get disaster aid they would have to ask trump to help. The person they insulted and demonized for 2 years.

>>
>>1160126
Don't feel bad they deserve it
>>
>>1160126
Ssssorta. Part of the issue is that their water storage systems were not being developed due to a bunch of shenanigans, so water isn't given to the right spots. Means that the places that DID have water were way too full and like the other places, not really cared for. Signs of the run offs needing repairs could be seem 3 years ago, and considering their main Dam is on a Clay based foundation; Well, that makes things worse.
Last I checked they were using rocks to try and stop it, but if the rain comes again, then a lot of Cali is going to get wet.

Please tell me LA and San Francisco are at risk.

I.know they probably aren't but a man can dream.

I dont, I just think its funny that they went from too little water to too much.
>>
>>1160146
Well I guess I'll just settle for seeing all the calexit morons having to beg the God Emperor for aid.
>>
>>1160144
Directly? No, but as is their entire situation is pretty bad. Because Cali doesn't want to pay taxes, support may not come from Trump. That means they may need to pay for it out of their pocket with their farm lands damaged by the flood. Because these were old problems that weren't fixed, you have around 100k farmers and rurals who are displaced and likely very angry.
Any support asked will be at Cali's expense and likely force them to bend the knee with Trump's proposals. That means paying taxes, ICE, and other programs going through. This will cause the extremists to riot some more in SanFran, doing more damage, and making things worse for them.
>>
>>1160166
I kinda want them to get out, though, and let those guys on the north of the state became their own state too.
It would let us get rid of one Blue state and win another red one.

Also... This kind of stupidty is easier to perceive when you don't have the big daddy around to protect you from your own bad choices, let them suffer alone for a while and with luck they will come back begging for help before anything major happen.

Win/Win.

...But I fear for some of the people who lives there, not everyone deserves this crap.... But such is the price for the democratic system...

Oh everyone knows that California leaving will only end badly for them. And iirc legally they can't do it, unlike Texas.

If needed and willed by (((certain powers))) it would happen anyway.
Didn't obama himself did some shit not legally defensable during his mandate?

Yeah, the majority of his actions. He pushed a lot of stuff through with presidential power alone rather than going through the senate. Of course, what is pushed by the president can be removed by the president.
>>
>>1160247
Sure, but a few years ago Texas made a big hoopla about succeeding and the only reason it was taken semi-seriously is because it's something they can actually do. No-one takes Calexit seriously.

I don't know if this secession would be a good idea thought, I don't really doubt that they could survive without the US, but losing texas could be a heavy blow to the federation at this fragile moment, no?

>>1160371
It come with a catch though, but could open some possibilities for you.... And could be a cool twist on avalonian adaptation of jovian techonology and how it affects their strider design.

At this point Dutch-senpai can probably already guess what I have in mind.

>brazilian avalonian
I can only imagine how this would work out....
>>
>>1160408
Hmmm.. sounds like some tricky stuff, but multi-feed tends to work with ammo. If I were to hazard a guess, you are trying a sort of 'hybrid'; ammo designed to do something special for your beam weapon.
>>
>>1160408
The whole Texas thing was years ago, Nothings going to happen there.

And just like I thought, I was talking completely out of my ass about the whole 'Texas can totally succeed" thing. I should to stop talking about political bullshit that happened years ago that I only half remember.

>>1160526
I'm not really sure how you would even go about using multi-feed for beams, since the way they do clips if completely different than projectiles.
>>
>>1160566
Probably the same way one does clips. Make it limited shot, clip fed, and then make each battery 'special'. Going by ammo rules, it'd make many clips go from 1cp to 4cp. More expensive in the short term, but less so once you go big. This is also something that is REALLY tricky to figure out and the sort of design I stay away from.
>>
>>1160587
You gone too far on it, its simpler than that actually.
I think I'm going to put it in words soon, just let me finish eating.
>>
>>1160566
Texas can't secede legally. Civil War made it very clear. And the language in the resolution is very clear. Texas can separate itself into a new state of 5 territories, nothing about seceding from the Union.
>>
>>1160371
>>1160587
Sorry guys, my plan was to make each clip smaller and then buy multi-feed to cheaper it at the cost of needing more actions to fully reaload.
But it doesn't pay off and ends up getting even more expensive, sadly.
I should've checked the book before getting your hopes up :/
>>
>>1160734
yeah, multifeed is expensive and for beam weapons, making it cheaper actually HURTS their clips.
>>
I'm contemplating the addition of a third arm to the back of a standard humanoid mech. The third arm can hold a ranged weapon and while the Mechs normal arms focus on melee.
>>
>>1160925
Couldn't you get the same effect by just using a weapon mount?
>>
>>1160925
essentially a scorpion tail with a beam gun instead of a stinger?
>>
>>1161023
It's also a hand, so it can be used for hand things. Like swapping a beam rifle for a missile launcher.

>>1161027
Kinda. There's still a hand at the end of it.

A Scorpion beast mech would be pretty neat though.
>>
>>1161078
Tried it. Since you can't take that metaform splitting thing (since you can only take it with transforming mechs) having 3 sets of legs makes everything a lot more expensive and heavier than it should be.

Oh, worse than that, apparently it's intentional and part of a long pattern of local politicians finding areas that dare to vote Republican and punishing them. In this case, the dam had huge potholes in it and was breaking down years ago and nothing was ever done, LA is literally stealing all the water from rural areas, and the desert is creeping back but California politicians don't care as long as Hollywood and Beverly Hills are fine.

Aye, I am hoping Trump doesn't give in and forces them to use state funds. Screwing over bread basket regions is a dick move no matter where you stand.

Incidentally, I did some number crunching on Soul C. Assuming getting every hit in and going all out, in 1 round, Soul C can produce 440 kills of sheer damage. 216 from Pixie and it's field of dakka, 154 from the delphinius by using all it's missiles one action, and it's guns the other, and 80 from Simon just punching the bugger. Delphinius, Pixie, Squilla. Team DPS.

Just read through the entire archive over the weekend.

You need to get a fucking Discord. For gods sake man.

Also I'm not sure if letting everyone make their characters was genius or madness. On the one hand, autism levels in this Quest noticeably spiked.

Especially the Brazilian dude who was incredibly sloppy with the rules. Many times. I hope he's as sloppy about sucking dick as he is with his character sheets.

On the other hand, I kind of feel like this acted as an escape valve for the massive amounts of autism that would have been directed towards the MC and Best Girls otherwise. I mean, it's not like the opportunity to express the autism created it.

Anyways it's been fantastic all 'round.
>>
>>1161455
>You need to get a fucking Discord. For gods sake man.

Fuck no, we don't need more places for namefags to circle jerk each other.

Besides, /qst/ is extremely slow, so any discussion can happen in the threads for everyone to see. Discords serve literally zero purpose.

>>1161455
Lord knows enough time is already wasted on waifus that could be spent on mechs and mech related activities.

The problem is people are too lenient with him
>>
>>1161542
Aaand?
>>
>>1161542
Nah, its like 15%, I try to count this type of things to see how far people are baited in replying to things, adaptating around that to control the flux of attention and discover an equilibrium of shitposting.

Also, I don't talk that much about Akai since I learned that Wong reads my" fanfics" and assumes that I'm being dead serious about them even when I'm just joking around... I don't want him to rage again because of that.

And my mech is pretty normal and doesn't get that much attention as I don't really tweak it that much, so I end up talking much more about other people's mechs than the Walkure.
Just look at "One hit man" Lightning, that is much more bullshit munchkinnery than just having missiles and hands.

Sorry, I forgot.
The portuguese word for "breed" and "race" are the same, so I confused that before translating.

The other benefit is triply linked melee weapons.

I think I'm going to design Mecha-Shiva.
>>
>>1161718
Why would you elect to place 3 weapons on 3 different limbs and inter-servo link them, when you could place them all on the same limb and link them for cheaper (at least, if you have enough defensive options to prevent enemies from disabling that limb)?

Don't you know the importance of eating your vegetables to grow healthy and strong?
>>
>>1161994
It was a good choice, no matter how you spin it.
>>1162001
But first we need to make the Paladin fall. What do you think, let him banter, get the talk out, aim at the pompous bastard, then burn 2-3 luck per shot with a 5 volley of missiles? Could have Sammy tell us the thresh hold we need to beat, what tricks it has as well.
>>
>>1162039
The target analyser didnt work so hot on the last paladin we tried it on so we probably shouldn't rely on it.
>>
>>1162042
Less relying and more getting a feel. It works best with stuff thats obvious or not so weird. The sword might be that, and maybe the shield since the Kestrels have plenty of experience with them. But thats partially why I want him to talk. The more time talking, the more time Sammy has to scan. Lori's mech gave us no time, but Lucas seems the type to gloat. Ideally, we want to be 8 or so paces away. I means he would have to double move to us in case we fail initiative, and puts us in range with all our burst attacks.
>>
>>1162051
He can gloat and attack at the same time you know.
>>
>>1162061
Yet he didn't do that while on top of the ship, and allowed us to blow up the dam. Mind you, he responded with a blast from his ship, but that hurt him so far. Being ready doesn't make his sudden assault good, and a part of me wonders if we can get 2 for 2 there.
>>
>>1162065
To be fair it doesnt seem like he especially cared if we blew up the dam on his guys or not.
>>
>>1162072
Oh he cared, just in the same way someone cares about some clutter in his path. So he just cleared away the clutter.
>>
Did blowing the same realease what's left of the Greenman?
>>
>>1162117
Don't think so. The part thats center of mass is on a hill, with the 'limb' we've been dealing with in the water is being poisoned, shot, and burned. It's likely gone full defense right now, hoping the Gerin gets to it's core.
>>
>>1162117
If hes strong enough to crush mechs hes probably strong enough to dig himself out of the ground.
>>
>>1162150
That would be a bad move in many ways. First off, digging himself out exposes his center of mass completely. While his tentacles can cause trouble, such a large target is hard to miss and would mean that he'd be exposed to crits. It ALSO means the ships could just fire on it's mass instead of using Cwis. That hill is his saving grace right now. Plus, while it could pick a fight, it's also been poisoned and weakened by it's slumber and dedication to keep it's green man alive. It needs the Gerin to win. Without it, and the Squilla backing off so it doesn't try for it, it's stuck against a army of very angry mechs with Sunfire bombs, MP SOUL units, and Amos Wedge.
>>
>>1162170
I'm going to be a bit bummed when Amos inevitably bites the dust.
>>
>>1162170
Considering how people had to fight greenmen in the past I'm sure its still fully capable of fucking up plenty of people before it goes.
>>
>>1162179
Ehhhhh.. maybe. The tech has advanced in many ways, with beam sabers, beam guns, Reactive and active shields as well. Machines are lighter and sturdier, and he's likely slower(I assume hay day greenmen had 20s for their rolls as oppose to this thing's 15.). He was surprised by the small things we had, and their lack of insight on new tech allowed us to find him. He could do damage, but I don't think it'd be as much as he'd hope for.
>>
>>1162042

The target analyzer would have worked even more poorly if Roarke hadn't been a decent mechanic himself.
>>
>>1162039
We need to demolish him Completely. Use his anger and pride against him and destroy him before he can pull off any cheap tricks.

“Garret, three shot burst, get its attention.” You instruct.

“Roger that!” He cheerfully agrees, opening fire.

A Knight throws itself between the Gerin and the Pyxicephalus. One burst is enough, it goes toppling from the sky. Garret starts laughing wildly.

“...So, are you still mad about the name? I can ask Irina to make you a new one and give Pyxi to Jesus.” You ask.

“Go blow a missile.” He cheerfully responds, “Do you know how much shit he talked about this design for not being based around long-range combat?”

“A-yup.” You watch the debris tumble into the trees below, glad that the two Pumpkinseed squads that were tailing you are having the sense to realize that they're outnumbered and you're being a distraction on purpose. Two dozen Knights, damn it all. There's an awful lot of bad to say about Ford, and you'd like to express it with your onboard weaponry, but you have to give him credit at least for bringing friends to the party. Beam lance activated, you brace to dodge cannonfire...when abruptly, Ford seems to sense something on the horizon. His mech's head swivels around, and his thrusters cut out, his mech dropping like a stone as he hits the deck.

It's a maneuver you hate doing, pilots have passed out and failed to re-engage their thrusters in time according to rumors you've heard at the Academy because they underestimated the effects of gravity, or injured themselves by re-engaging too quickly or at a bad angle, but Ford must be built like an ox and he's clearly as much of a damned fine pilot as you expect an Avalonian Paladin to be. He's also absolutely right to do what he just did, as a diffuse horizontal column of needle-like bloodred plasma beams flashes across the sky, then a second sweeping in the opposite direction. The Knights are thrown out of formation as they're forced into dodging maneuvers, and you see explosions and bits of metal raining down from the heavens, slicing chunks out of the trees.

You check your instruments and confirm that the Pumpkinseeds got in and out okay with their vulnerable cargo of prisoners and new recruits.

That, itself, is just a distraction. Just as you spot one unidentified mech standing well outside optimum distance for the weapons it just fired, hovering, another clears the treeline. Huge disc-shaped pauldrons open up, and a volley of missiles fills the air, explosions rocking the formation of Knights. Clearly acting on the assumption that you were a distraction, the ragged survivors try to group up and pursue to engage.

The Gerin stops dead, hovering with much more skill than its disciples. There isn't time for it to make a rational strategic decision.

“Species of Earth, episode 127!” You quote, after checking your PC to make sure you had the right one, “Wolves!” You grin, you saw this episode a short while before making planetfall, “In nature, purebred wolves are only greyish-brown. The genes for white wolves or black wolves comes from interbreeding with the domesticated version of the species, namely dogs. In short, that's a mutt you're wearing.” You point dismissively, “Say, Mutt, how does it feel getting beaten even when you hide behind your elites? Even when you strap bombs to proxies because you lost your nerve after the Berenger went down? I guess fighting real soldiers is a lot harder than murdering civilians and butchering your own troops, you coward.”

The visor of the Gerin turns towards you in particular.

“Jesus, huh?” Garret says. He clears his throat, “Do not be so unkind, Lieutenant. We should try to understand this poor, foolish sinner with his stupid-looking mech.”

“It really isn't very impressive.” Simon says, “I mean, the armor looks nice, but it sort of feels like Avalon gave you the discount one.”

“A discount mech with a head that is clearly not up to heroic standards. Anyway, let's try to understand him. He must be feeling afraid and insecure after having been beaten at every turn by the UJCIDF. At having a SUPERIOR Paladin brought down by our troops...props to you, Wedge...” His mech fistbumps yours, “He probably feels like he can't compete, hence this gross overcompensation and violent behavior demonstrating his clear need for emotional support from a mother figure...or in this case, a father figure, the Green Man. It's not his fault that he's so upset, he just can't cope with the growing realization that we've closed the tech gap with Avalon's Paladins and that the Knights are far outclassed. Even those new ones they've got are barely keeping up, the Cavaliers.”

You hear a steady, buzzsaw noise over the comms, of a human being growling in rage, “You know nothing of the Paladins, you maggots!”

In the distance, you see a third mech, a white blur that cuts a Knight in half with some kind of melee weapon, a long, solid one, then stabs another through the chest. Parts whirl away like confetti.

[Continued]
>>
>>1162287

So this is the vaulted strength of the paladins?

An old woman taken down in one shot?

Untrained soldiers, misled and misused in half-baked and underhanded tactics that killed more of them than any of us.

Innocent men and women, people who wanted nothing more than a better future for their planet and families, killed and sacrificed by a bunch of bastards who used them as cannon fodder to save their own worthless lives.

A mangy mongrel dog that would kill his own men without a shred of remorse.

Again and again I hear you tree fucking assholes preach about your honor, your integrity, your chivalry.

All I've seen, all I've fought, is a bunch of inbred cultist so damn ready to suck greenman cock that you'd get on your knees for a cucumber.

So come on then dog, show me how easily you fall, I want to see if I you can beat your compatriot's record for quickest ass kicking.

“I've been wondering about that. I mean, we all saw our first Green Man, and it was pretty hideous. What's stopping the Lady from being a total uggo or asteroidhead? I can't imagine someone hot would command a band of old women and degenerates.” You ask.

“I bet she's flatter than a board.” Garret comments, “And not in that cute, slender way, but the refrigerator-body shape.”

“That's gross.” You reply, “Narrow hips, wide shoulders, definitely a butterface.”

Why is the white mech glancing at you with somewhat ominous body language? You're not sure, but it goes back to turning Knights into scrap. There's something familiar about it, and about its weapon...and then you realize what it is, and your heart nearly stops. It's holding a spiral lance in one hand, and there's some kind of diffuse light coming from the back of its other arm, like a shield, keeping cannonfire off it. No, that can't be right. It can't be what you're thinking of. You feel a sudden stirring of irrational anger at the Iron Kestrels daring to copy the King Swordfish even a little bit even though the armor shape is completely different.

It almost makes you miss the Gerin throwing back its halfcape. Underneath, you see a lashing of...filaments? Ropes? No, as they swing through the air to surround you from either side, and a glowing red fog emanates from the body of the Gerin and each of its four wire-guided drones, you realize what they are. Serpentine dragons of metal and nanofiber, in place of the Garin's left forearm and hand. Its shape is that of a gallant knight with twisted beasts bursting from inside it, and as one their mouths open and breathe gouts of plasma.

“Kill them, intercept any shots aimed at me.” The Gerin instructs, looping coils of shielded nanofiber cable from his mecha guarding his mech's main frame.

Well, it's not technically fire, but it's a wide-range burst of plasma from all four dragons simultaneously. Garret has trouble dodging them, but the golden bubble protecting him wards them off easily enough...and the Gerin seems to know it, because as it soars towards your group it's aiming directly for him. You all scatter, but not quickly enough.

Simon's left arm and leg take hits (-1 SP to both, 7 remaining), and so does your left arm (-1 SP, -1 Kills, 6 SP 7K remaining). The Delphinius is the lightest, fastest, and most agile thing on your squad, but it's also got the least armor. This isn't true compared to normal SOUL standards, where you're actually better armored than most earlier-gen mecha, but the Pyxicephalus is a ball of defenses and the Squilla is...well...the Squilla. Worse, one of your thruster nacelles gets clipped and your onboard warning systems shriek at you as you momentarily lose HMIS control and are sent rocketing forward, barely avoiding crashing into the oncoming Gerin. As you crane your head around, though, you watch Garret shoot one drone into tiny pieces and Simon crush one in his fists and and hammer another with it until its scarlet fog-shield is more like drifting wisps of rosy red (5 SP remaining). The shield is strange, unlike anything you've seen on your own side's mecha, rather than one big shield it seems to be made up of countless tiny cells like a vastly miniaturized version of a ship's defensive screen.

You regain control of your thrusters, floating upside down and preparing to take aim at the Gerin from behind.

Garret's shield is down. The first strike did -1 SP to his torso and nothing else despite that sword having the Disruptor property. The second did -1 to his torso and -3 Kills (6 SP, 9K remaining).

Roll Parry for Simon versus 26, it can't stop the attack completely but it CAN avert a crit because his Dodge result was only 17 total.

Amos is fine because of his shield.

>>
>>1162817
The last roll after the challenged rolls was a 7. Did.. did we just kill him in his Cockpit via the fuck you missiles?
>>
>>1162817

So let's see, with a gap of 13 on the first shot, that's four megacrits right off the bat. One and two are admittedly wasted, they just chew his shields up. Three? Three takes up five damage and does a straight 5 Kills to his torso. Because of how location rolls on a salvo work, they don't get random rolled but travel up or down as you like, so the logical choice would be to make the other megacrit location 3, also the torso. The next missile does 10K to the chest unhindered...and a Light Heavy Torso has 14K, which means I have some typing to do. Game resumes in an hour for Wong to eat. Congratulations on killing your second Paladin with missiles, Amos Wedge.

I don't think she can steal as much credit as she wants. She still has not arrived at the field, and the fights were all Amos who did his duty after she left. Sure she could try, but to the public and everyone watching, Amos was the star and reason they won before she could even touch down.

Uncontrolled flight isn't fun, it's not a straight charge, you're going end-over-end, and as one of the remaining drones fires at you you're grateful for your shield's AI, intercepting the blast just in time. Simon isn't so lucky, you see him take another hit to his left arm (-1 SP, -1K, 6 SP and 7K remaining).

Gerin closes the remaining distance and maneuvers right in front of the S-Pyxicephalus, and it swings its elegant-looking heat sword. The blade looks relatively light, but as it hits, you see a burst of radiation and the S-Particle sheath of Garret's shield is torn open like a dropped water balloon, the swordtip raising a beautiful shower of sparks as it cuts a scratch across Garret's mech's chest.

You're off-balance, tumbling through the air like a leaf...but for one second, just one second, you're facing the Gerin. Upside-down, yes, but facing the Gerin. You feel the onboard Ais adjusting thruster output to give you back control, you know it's happened before your status screen tells you.

Hell, you don't even look at it. The one thing you can think of, the thing you're already doing, is opening the missile port in your right shoulder.

Count Lucas Ford is a bloodthirsty man. Everyone knows that. It's not hard to guess why he's distracted as he loops a coil of his drones' cords around the Pyxicephalus' shoulder to hold it still, stabs his swordpoint into the mech's chest, and begins digging, maneuvering around to pry open the cockpit. He's never encountered a truly serious foe, and a few more swings would kill what he perceives as his greatest threat. To him, you're all maggots, bugs, things that aren't fought seriously but squashed underfoot or tortured for fun.

Four missiles. You're used to doing three-shot bursts, and the last one is just for added spite. That's how many it takes to kill him. The first two explode against his shield, thinning it into ragged strips. The third tears it away completely, burying itself in his mech's spine as it detonates. The fourth pierces straight out through his cockpit. Later, via Garret's ASP during a mission review, you see that the tip of the missile is stained red and shiny with blood in the instant before it explodes, and that the eerie glow growing brighter and brighter behind the Gerin's visor as his bloodlust translates to the mandrake of his mech dies with him. A fusillade of shots from above destroys the remaining drones, a swarm of tiny, zippy pods tipped with beam cannons circling the battlefield as an elegant purple and white mech that reminds you oddly of some exotic flower descends from above.

Looking up, you can see the belly of the Iulia Maesa and hear the thunder of its shipboard guns hammering the Avalonian battleship. A squad of top-of-the-line Jovian mecha follow the flower-like mech.

Something about its posture seems...disappointed. After a moment, there's a voice over the comms. Crisp, authoritative, female, slightly petulant, and utterly familiar, “Well done, SOUL. Paladin destroyed. I believe this is your second, Lieutenant Wedge?” The purple-and-white mech crosses its arms, then announces over general comms, “This is General Hermione Fairchild of the UJCIDF, assuming direct command. The Gerin is down. I repeat, the Gerin is down. Pursue and destroy all remaining Knights.” She preempts the exact order you were about to give.

Thrusters still fire at random on the Gerin as though its mandrake is desperately still seeking to fly, desperately asking its pilot what to do. It's probably just a result of physics, but for a moment, the visor seems to tilt upwards toward you as it crashes down into the emerald sea below and vanishes. Soft, muddy loam splashes into the air from the impact of its fall, ringing a death kneel for Avalonian ambitions on this world.

The purple and white mech's feet make a motion like treading water as it floats there, one hand on its hip, “Fine work, gentlemen, a superb team effort all around. This is going to look fantastic on JNN.”

“What happened to the Colonel, ma'am?” Garret asks in a tone about a hair short of accusing her of murdering his brother.

“Why, he has atmospheric command, of course. It's been a while since I stretched my legs in the Rose Queen Cichlid VI, and I'm certain I can trust your older brother to manage a few measly starships.” She replies, in a sweet voice with an undercurrent of wanting to take off her belt and beat him with it.

She judges the angle, gestures for one of her escorts, presumably equipped with an ASP, and claps the S-Delphinius on the back, “Take the picture...aaaandd...perfect. Get the Arapaima back here TODAY, I want this playing on every frequency until there isn't a single soul in the Solar System that hasn't seen it. Particularly Auditorium. Did we get a shot of the death? Oh nevermind that, we can review the ASP footage later. Remember, discussing the particulars of the fight before the official press release is a violation of regulations and will be punished as such. You, Lieutenant, shot down the Paladin, that's all the public needs to know. Some people might throw a fit if they knew the Chairman's precious young son was in so much danger, after all, ahahaha!” That last sentence sounds like an excuse and her laughter is clearly fake. If she isn't planning to steal credit for this, she badly wants to, in your estimation.

“Yes ma'am.” You grunt, somehow feeling dispirited.

“Oh, by the way. Ensign Luxol, I spoke at length with Major Cabot and any...ah...unpleasantness that might reflect badly on Lieutenant Wedge's reputation, or yours, has been swept away. You're all much too important to the SSL for bickering, why put another weapon in our enemies' hands, hmm?” Her tone is cloyingly, artificially saccharine. “I have a written and extremely profuse apology from her to you, I do hope you can accept it and put this incident behind us.”

“Do I have a choice, ma'am?” Garret asks.

“Um, ma'am...” You try to cut in.

“Of course not.” She responds with no small amount of satisfaction, cutting you off, “By the way, I spotted a group of unidentified mecha fleeing upon my arrival. I would normally assume that they were Avalonian elites and hunt them down personally, but I saw them shoot down a few Knights in passing. Care to explain?” Her voice reminds you of a cat flexing its claws. She sounds happy to be in a mech, happy to have the chance to personally hurt things instead of doing it from behind a desk.

“Yes ma'am. Neutral mercenaries of Solar origin, they were helping us out because they were appalled by abuses done to the citizenry, ma'am.” You salute her mech with yours, “But ma'am, we should...”

“Is that so?” She asks, cutting you off again, then her mech shrugs. It has four large, expansive shoulder plates that add to the flower-like impression, “I suppose they aren't important, I just didn't recognize the make of their mecha from the air. They looked rather large for mercenary machines.”

“I suppose there's been a lot of Knights left unpiloted, ma'am.” You try to stay calm, hoping she doesn't order them hunted down for interrogation, “Ma'am, we need to...”

“Indeed, thanks to your efforts. That will do, Lieutenant. Let's mop up this mess and go back to civilization, the natives were charming at first but I think I might actually despise cats.” She waves dismissively.

“Er, ma'am, we really should check on the Gerin and make sure that the Green Man isn't doing something untoward with its remains.” You're looking down at the hole left in the trees by the Gerin. The ground shouldn't have been that soft there, and from here, it looks very much like a pit of mud is swallowing it up, the earth so percolated that it's become like a liquid.

As you watch, you see white tendrils flailing wildly, hungrily digging beneath the mech's armor as they drag it down. Your sensors inform you of the earthquake happening even before you hear the rumble of snapping trees.

"Next time, Lieutenant, feel free to interrupt." The General comments. You resist the urge to shoot her in the face.

Parts I used:

HG GM Custom Head: Closest thing I had on hand to a sensor like head that didn't look retarded. Not too great but in retrospect nothing in GB3 will be 100% accurate to the Kaiser's head.

HG Sinanju torso: The bird like design felt like a good fit to me considering the Iron Kestrel's symbol.

MG Shin Musha Gundam Arms: I know the Musha Gundam is more Oda's thing, but it came with two giant shields so it was a good fit. Also nothing in the game is going to match the drill hands I also used MG parts since the Kaiser's arms are a size category bigger than the rest.

HG Blue Destiny Unit 1 Legs: Couldn't remember how the Kaiser's legs were supposed to look, so I just used some I liked.

MG Victory Gundam Backpack: same with the legs, Just picked some that looked good. Made them MG since the Kaiser is supposed to be pretty fast for it's size.

Didn't use any builder parts.

She's too crafty a slut to lead from the front, she'd probably send Simon in first, us as his back up, and the provide 'fire support'.

No worries, this will be plenty of good fun. Though, I got to ask; did all the stuff we did weaken the greenman? It's torso is gone, it's tentacle arms all shot up, and it's chest cored out. We poisoned it heavily, chopped off a limb, and kept firing on it.

But seriously Mr. Wong handles combat fantastically, and using an actual dice system instead of best of 3 etc. makes everyone take combat a lot more seriously.

Of course this quest has rolled stupidly well. I can't believe we haven't had anyone die yet.

The politics are also fantastic, very LoGH. If only autists would stop being so "Save everyone/Kill everyone".

Now, most of this is accurate, but the Beam Gun is guesswork based off of the Zeta Beam Saber/Gun. Other inaccuracies include having only 5 Verniers per side.

>take it slow

No. People were getting antsy with this arc despite it being done as quickly as possible and the tournament is going to have a LOT of fights. No, I'm not skipping any. No, I don't want advice.

As a side note. Yes, I'm a bit annoyed at how certain namefags have been speaking for me in recent threads. You all need to remember that having a name does not make you better than the average Anon, it certainly does not make you wiser or more of a personage or gives you more authority. Mechbay Denizen was well out of line when he started telling people to provide themesongs and trying to insinuate they'd show up in the tournament, just as BR was out of line for trying to make rulings on my behalf about ammo weight. False equation needs to fix his capitalization because the way he writes is incredibly annoying and when I have a name to associate with his posts it grates tremendously. Especially if his response is "lol it's not worth the effort." This is 4chan, people are supposed to have half a brain here and standards apply, ironic as it sounds. Type like an idiot and get treated like one. Paladin Guy would never be quiet about his own single-person game set in my setting for some reason despite me going "uh that wouldn't work" about a dozen times, and trying to be polite about it hasn't worked. Solaireanon needs to nip the whole LARPing an Avalonian thing in the bud because BR kind of encourages it. Remember that the tourney characters are effectively NPCs, not your PCs. Your PCs are the viewpoint characters, mostly Roarke.

The only namefags I'm not kind of unhappy with right now are BR (for doing work for the tourney which I appreciate despite him overstepping his bounds) and Thunderbird who has consistently done nothing wrong. Everyone else, why did you even get a name?
>>
>>1163476
>Thunderbird who has consistently done nothing wrong.

>nothing

>consistently

Are you sure about that?
>>
>>1163360

I'm looking forward to it but expecting tremendous salt over the fighting itself. It's just inevitable.

Also yes, yes you did weaken the Father of Qu'lir. He put a lot of his energy into those biodrones and tentacles and you slaughtered them. Its chest isn't exactly cored out, though, nor is its torso gone. Think of it like a human-shaped plant where it kept growing and growing its left arm until it was much bigger than the original plant ever was, and you cut that arm off.
>>
>>1163480
Oh I meant the Gerin. Way I see it, a full gerin with a Lucas makes things easier for him. A dead lucas with a loyal machine and missing super bits would likely hurt him and make for a sub-optimal build. Also, can't make fancy super bit shields if they were all popped.
>>1163476
And I am sure I have some faults too with me freaking out sometimes. Getting too hyped sometimes.
>>
>>1163476
>People were getting antsy with this arc despite it being done as quickly as possible
I've joked about getting out of Vietnyam, but I would 100% prefer proper pacing over getting things done as quickly as possible.
>>
>>1163500
I enjoy vietnyam when we get the fun parts and the less spooky stuff. In a way, it is a pretty important arc, since we have almost finished designing Roarke's true rival. We could have ended this earlier and failing, but it would likely mean a weaker Amos who may be less kind hearted and more a soldier to the core. By doing so well, we have made Amos incredibly skilled, but also a good sort of rival. One who may listen to reason and follow the spirit over the word of the law. We take out the Greenman and this entire war may change for the better.
Still, final battle is important, and I think I remember a few key things as well.
1(and the biggest thing); We did not fight in Innsmouth. By fighting both the Green man and Gerin here, we managed to damage both deeply before they can blanda up. If we had fought at Innsmouth, the Greenman would be at full power with an army.
2: Dam still has those missiles and they are close to the greenman. Fire all the missiles.
3: We have a 'full' ally fleet. Captain Clearwater and Absol are alive along with the Martians. They may not be the best, but a full fleet helps.
4: The sunfire bomb was not used. Free damage is never to be frowned upon. Might even get lucky and burn his eyes out.
5: Kestrel support. A bit of assistance, maybe a parting shot, and we can win this. I'm certain Sammy got good data from this as well so it helps us.
6: Hector, Elizabeth and the Tesla Five are alive.
7: Fairchild is here. Not really a good thing, but it's a thing. Also Soul MPs.
8: All allies are alive and not critted. Luck is a bit low, but everything still works.

I think it's a matter of picking what to specialize in to get things done. The original bioarmor was crippled both due to the Thoroughbred X, and by turning itself into life support. So it likely specialized it's sub systems and kept feeding them in his sleeping state. Of course, it did show amazing results. Think about how much control he had. Raptors, flocks of birds, the cat girls, all those tentacles. He was likely putting everything he could into those things to make them better once he was awake and was likely going to insert that into the gerin who still functions fine everywhere else. An amazing boost, that gets nastier with what the gerin's arm was.
But we wrecked both their arms. No tube dragons, no excess power. He'll have to make due with his crippled bio armor, and the damaged Gerin. With how biocores are linked to one person, losing Lucas probably made it worse. Rather than using him like a puppet to make it easy, he'd be dealing with replacing key components. Which would be harder since his excess stuff is gone. It'll still be a tough fight and I hope there is a manta with a ammo resupply, but we are looking at fight with him making do with around half of what he had with none of the nice features.

I'd like to say that my Namek comparison was mostly a joke. I'd never try to tell you how run your own quest.

however, counting the Dam mission, we've more or less been in a combat situation for about 2/3 weeks now, so fatigue has kind of been setting in for me. So sorry if that post came across wrong.

Look on the bright side, not only did she fail to kill steal, Samantha is almost certainly scanning her mecha right now. Roarke will have a full statline by the end of the week, and Fairchild will still think he has no idea what her mecha does.

>>
>>1163765
Oh I know. Fairchild would likely want to use the Qu'lir stuff as black mail to try and threaten us to comply to her demands. Problem is, the impact is lessened due to us knowing what happened there and having Sam scan everyone. We got footage of the Bettas attacking a village, Amos doing the hard work, and if Sammy was looking up, Fairchild doing nothing while Garret was being stabbed. It turns everything she could do to us back onto her. A sort of 'We knew already, but thanks for the info.' which would likely make her look incompetant. And of course, we could spin it as us support the Jovians to stop the greenman when we found out.. the greenman Fairchild allowed to power up.

Being thankful your acid bath isn't a acid bath with greek fire does not make it any better, and while the prequels were bad, if they dealt with the whole Jar Jar thing and pod racing, it'd likely have room for proper story telling.

For me it was Diabolik Lovers, I don't think that anything can be more retarded than that.

>No. People were getting antsy with this arc despite it being done as quickly as possible and the tournament is going to have a LOT of fights. No, I'm not skipping any. No, I don't want advice.

Look Wong, we'd rather have you healthy and happy than stressed out over the quest. Yes, there's probably a bunch of people really looking forward to the Tournament, but I'm sure they would prefer you not kill yourself over it.

A lot of stuff's getting reintroduced though, mostly picking the good stuff and keeping out the dumber parts of the EU MOFFERENCE ON A MOFF CRUISER WITH DARK GREETINGS.Rebels and TCW are canon, and it's brought in Maul, Thrawn, the Darksaber, etc.

Maul by default was in disney canon since he showed up in the movies.

Actually iirc, the Rebels TV show isn't canon. I may be wrong though.

>>1164996
Rebels is canon dude. And because it's a straight up sequel to TCW, it also means TCW is canon even though it was made pre-Disney buyout.
>>
>>1164996
>>1165001
>On the screen, the first new canon to appear will be Star Wars Rebels. In print, the first new books to come from this creative collaboration include novels from Del Rey Books. First to be announced, John Jackson Miller is writing a novel that precedes the events of Star Wars Rebels and offers insight into a key character’s backstory, with input directly from executive producers Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman.

As in the games, the comics or the time period? I know you don't mean the MMO cause you don't have taste that shit.

Right?

The time period and another game would be nice

It would.

You should read the comics though. They're easily among the best Star Wars stories.

>>1165176
The MMO was interesting in the beginning, but suffered from the problem that all long running MMOs suffer from: new villain syndrome. It needed a new enemy to fight, so new enemies would have to magically show up.

>>1165176
Knights of the old Republic is great, the MMO a shit

Also, THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL, but the other day I was bored while away from home and had some Idea for the best matchups for the fights:

FIGHT 1:
Libra x Myrm (Sniper Duel)

FIGHT 2:
Templar x ULFBERHT(Knight Duel)

FIGHT 3:
BUDDY x LOGGERHEAD (UJCIDF All rounders duel)

Fight 4:
Lightning x Huskarl (One-Hit mens Duel)

FIGHT 5:
Gyrfalcon x M-Sagister (DEJA VU speed duel)

FIGHT 6:
PHARCYDE x WRAITH (Shenanigan Duel, Missiles x Cloak)

FIGHT 7:
Valkyre x Rolling Thunder (Invencible Duel)

FIGHT 8:
Walkure x Dutchman (MANLY duel)

FIGHT 9:

Chimera x Pumpkinseed Jaeger (Couldn't find a best fit)

Did I forget someone? Do you guys think that other combinations would cause better fights?
>>
>>1165228
It also suffered from shit story and bog standard MMO gameplay. The only positive thing I can say about it is that some of the designs were cool.

We could do 2 of the fights on an earlier round while everyone else fight normal NPCs, but the people involved would be at a disadvantage, though, as they will have more serious competition before winning.

I'm would be okay with doing it, though, depending on who else I'm fighting.(Opening my fights with a favorite like Lightning, Valkyre or Chimera would be harsh...)

>>1165447
If I'm not mistaken... Did I got to revise the M-Sagister? If so, I have to put him here.

Also, I have to put the F-type in... And the Gyrfalcon.

Tomorrow I should start on revising everything again to make sure that nothing is wrong, and to give everyone with PW a chance to change their stats AGAIN, to fit Wong's new house-rule.

Anon.... Don't lose your head please.
Are you really okay with this? People are going to aim at your head every time, did you know that?
>>
>>1165565
thats less a cannon and more of a pop gun, but I suppose it's ok for a head mounted gun.
>>1165575
the head was only 1 stage better before, considering the fire power we're dealing with here I figured losing 1 SP wasn't a big deal since i was likely to lose it before too.
>>
>>1165498
Please confirm, is this it?
http://pastebin.com/sEaULnez
>>
>>1165581
Good reasoning... Why don't you just change your sensors to the torso and use it as a decoy?
The Loggerhead will see right through it, but most of the others will probably fall for it, at least until someone starts doubting it after seeing you doing absurd maneauvers "without sensors".
>>
>>1165581
The Idea is to fire it to ablate the enemy before he gets into range. More like a situational weapon than a tourney focused one.
>>
>>1165591
Main sensors take a -3 awareness penalty if mounted on the torso servo of a humanoid or avian/beast form mech
I'm not sure what awareness is used for so... I figured i'd rather not have the penalty.
>>
>>1165601
It causes you to fall for Katherine tricks while she laughs at you... In other words it is used against Cloak and Shadow Clones, it is your ability to see through the chakra of your enemies!
*ahem*

So you rather take -2 to ALL rolls than get -3 against Wraith and Valkyre?
>>
>>1165620
I have backup sensors? I thought they prevented the -2 to all rolls after loss of main sensors?
>>
>>1165601
Basically, you'd have zero chance of spotting someone using a cloak or shadow imager.
>>
>>1165627
Nope, they prevent you from receiving -4 if I'm not mistaken, you still get -2.
>>
>>1165627
Oh, if you don't have backup sensors its a -4 to all actions.
>>
>>1165583
Yup, looks like it. The last big changes were the guardian and it looks up to date.
>>
>>1165636
Poor anon, I imagine whats going through his head now.

>>1165643
Okay, I'm on it.
>>
>>1165634
>>1165636
so... can I ditch the backup and get a beefed up main sensor in the torso? what would I need to offset the -3 awareness if I did that?
>>
>>1165651
Thats a new Idea.

Hmm... Good Idea anon, an ASP(10CP) would help it by giving you +2, reducing your penalty to -1.

IF I'm not mistaken, please check the ASP description first.

You could also buy Logic processors to give you bonus on this types of rolls.
>>
>>1165687
I think I can swing 10 cp... gonna have to cut the legs down a bit, but that just means 11K AP quick kicks rather than 12K...
dang, thought I was done modifying this thing...
>>
>>1165687
That's not what an ASP does. It lets you bypass some forms of cloaking, see through smoke, and get a +1 vs shadow imagers.
>>
>>1165703
so... I could get a +3 int logic processor to offset the penalty? cause awareness is an int skill... but character stats are something wong is supposed to handle... so I guess stat boosters shouldn't be allowed then...
>>
>>1165693
>>1165703
He is right, it would make you imune to the Wraith's Cloak and receive +1 against the Valkyre.

But man...That monster has +4 on her test anyway, everyone is screwed here, the only guy with a better chance is Daryl with his Loggerhead, and even he would have a problem with the reactive shield and the PALADIN LEVEL Naginata.

And some anons still have the courage to say that I'm the munchkin here!
>>
>>1165733
You can, Katherine has them too.
>>
>>1165744
Do remember that each imager is one use.
>>
>>1165752
There is also the smoke missiles that may or may not reset them, Wong didn't talked about it yet.
>>
>>1165744
Aren't Shadow Imagers weak to Blast and Burst rounds?

If so, then the Libra should do just fine.
>>
>>1165744
how much does an ASP weigh?
>>
>>1165766
Nothing, its an upgrade to your sensors.

>>1165765
Good Luck, give her a good fight.
You can also to Burst Spray on the 3 Valkyries to find out which one is real.
But if she gets close... Oh boy, you're dead,
>>
>>1165744
The ASP would not make you immune to the Wraith's cloak since it also has the Stealth function
>The ASP lets you see the heat trails and exhaust from Cloaked mechs
>The Wraiths Stealth makes it so you it doesn't give off heat trails or exhaust
>>
>>1165643
Please explain how Frame+Armor+Options isn't 81CP, I think that you forgot 3 of yours quick change mounts.
>>
>>1165765
I do not believe they are weak to burst rounds. You can divide your burst among multiple hexes, but shadows are explicitly in the same hex.
>>
>>1165782
Oh yeah, I tottaly forgot.
HAH, I hope it was worth the price!

>>1165788
You can divide it between targets too if I'm not mistaken, some anon was even suggesting it during one of Amos fights.
>>
Oh, Avalonanon, If you read this, please remind me of revising your mech again when you're around, we could probably make you cannon a beam one if you so desire, or maybe give you some special ammo, depending on your likings.
>>
>>1165805
>>1165782
huh... that makes the ASP worth less to me then...
can't I just buy better backup sensors that are as good as the main sensors but in the torso?
>>
>>1165779
>But if she gets close... Oh boy, you're dead,

Well, I've got my shield... and I know you're going to hate me for suggesting this, but I might drop Quick from the Bayonet in favor of more kills so it can better parry attacks. It was always meant to be a sort of "Oh shit" defensive measure anyway.
>>
>>1165786
Hmmm, must have miscalculated. Hang on. I'll crunch some numbers. Keep looking just to be sure there are other things I need to fix.
>>
>>1165805
The Wraith's absurd cost multipliers probably make it the lightest and least offensive in the whole tournament
It's just made of hopes and dreams and held together with Ultra high efficiency Thrusters and Duct tape that reflects visible light
>>1165823
I am not sure,
But I recall something about taking a penalty to to sensors that are based in the torso since the arms tend to block their field of view
You would have to ask Wong for clarification on that though
>>
>>1165805
>You can divide it between targets too if I'm not mistaken, some anon was even suggesting it during one of Amos fights.
That was me, and that was what I was referring too.
>>
>>1165840
yeah the -3 awareness penalty,

at this point I think I'll just beef up the head a bit.
>>
>>1165832
Ahhh, think I see something. I forgot the fragile factor for the one gun. With the 1.5 tons missing, thats 3 CP free. Standard should work fine now. On to the others.
>>
Melee weapon WA effects parry rolls, right?
>>
>>1165824
>Well, I've got my shield...
6SP+4SP Armor -12K of Paladin levels of damage= 2 Kills to your arm even if you block, and that is only mentioning the FIRST attack, as it does FOUR of them per turn.

It would eat through your arm in one action and then go right through your torso in the second one, and if you miss ONE parry you would already be dead.

This, my friend, is the favorite of this tourney, that makes even McFlintflock tremble while hearing about it.

Call me a weeaboo, but only a true 「YUUSHA」 can defeat this 「MAOU」!
>>
>>1165881
I'm waiting for your modifications while I make poems about how fearsome the Valkyrie is, keep on with the good work.
>>
>>1165871
The real question is: Do you really care about being able to hit her even with her shadows?

I'm really not counting on it, so I have other plans for this fight...

Also... I was thinking... Wong mentioned something about "The characters that manages to survive through this arc should be alive at gen 2"...

I Wonder what he will make us face... Hordes of UJCIDF mooks? SOUL MPs? Fairchild shooting us out of the sky on her way to fighting Roarke? Bethany piloting 3 S-Slayer at the same time? A Paladin? A pack of Teslas?
The /K/ube itself?!
>>
>>1165898
looking at the pastebin, I'm only seeing the Valkerie having 8k in melee damage. not sure where you're getting 12 from unless you're counting the -4 from EMW which technically isn't the same. It can still be parried with an 8k weapon... which I'm strongly considering doing to the Libra's bayonet.

also, >>1165882
>>
>>1165882
Unknown. Neither book says that it's applied when parrying with a melee weapon.
>>
>>1165934
Yes it could be parried by the bayonet, you're right, I was only taking the shield in consideration, though.
The "You miss, you die" still apllies, though, as she will ignore 4SP of armor... And you only have 4, then she will cause 7K+1 of DMG on your torso... That would be One-Hit kill.

>>1165882
Yes, but you receive -2 to parry with Physical one and -3 to parry with EMW, and they can only parry other melee attacks, not long ranged ones.
>>
>>1165949
well right now the Bayonet is 6k (7k with medium striker arms). I was thinking of dropping Quick from it in exchange for 2 more k's and by giving it +2WA. In the end it will cost the same as the old one (6.6CP) so I won't have to do any math to add it in.
>>
>>1165961
Hmmm... I agree with this, it could be better for parrying and causing more damage in one focused attack... But don't forget that the servo bonus dmg don't apply for parrying, a the 7K naginate, per example, can only block up to 7k attacks, no matter who is using it.

I added a new toy to it, a wide range 1K beam wave to sweep areas

wait a sec... the only stealth mech is the Saturn wraith yeah? it doesn't have combat cloaking or fire control... it can only get 1 attack off on someone before the cloaking is useless if I'm reading things right... and it looks like I can face tank any 1 hit from it

does stealth go away after attacking or only cloaking? I can't seem to find stealth rules anywhere... just cloaking unless "stealth" is just the "anti spotting radar" cloaking modifier
>>
>>1166150
With out the Combat Cloak I have to wait an entire turn before reapplying the Cloak
So The Wraith would fire and have to wait until its next turn before it could cloak again, Unlike the Betta that could strike and then cloak
And Wong has stated that no one can use the Fire control in game thus far
>If the Wraith had the Combat Cloak I wouldn't have CP for things like weapons
>>
>>1166174
Doesn't it also have to be out of sight of the enemy if you don't have combat cloak?
>>
>>1166174
Guess the M-Sagister would have to tank a hit then charge in for melee while the cloakings down then... or go for the beam gun shot... holy shit a beam shot from me would flat out kill you on a torso hit on the vibro blade model
>>
>>1166182
Doesn't matter if you are sniping from outside the optimal sensor range for most of the mechs
But I believe I just need to make a successful stealth check against the opponents Int to drop back into a undetected Cloak
Wong can Confirm or say that Unless the Wraith starts Cloaked it is entirely wasted CP
>>
>>1166214
>Yes The Wraith may as well have paper for armor
It's primary form of Melee defense is not being in melee range
>>
>>1166235
thing is even most ranged shots will either kill you or blow off a limb... hell I could just pop my WA+2 missiles the second your cloaks down...

guess it depends on the size of the arena, since you've got a long range weapon.
>>
>>1166217
Alright, looked in the ATM. Combat Cloak says it allows a mech to "return to Cloaked status even when in plain view" and Active Cloak says "those who have made the Awareness role are assumed to be able to retain sight of the Cloaked mech until it can leave their field of vision" so I assume that means you can't re-cloak while being looked at without Combat Cloak.
>>
>>1166255
The arena will probably have barriers of view floating around to allow him to cloak again... But we'll have to ask Wong about it.
>>
>>1166278
I had guessed that Wong would put cover all around the arena.

I expected it to be sort of like the start of Gundam 0083, with wrecked ships and debris all around. Except, you know, in space.
>>
>>1166300
*I actually expected
Got the dyslexia I guess.
>>
>>1166300
Well if it boils down to the Cloak either being a one use Gimmick or non-functional, I guess the Wraith is an under armored sniper with 14MA and a under-powered Sniper rifle
>>
>>1166034
Man, I will give you my review tomorrow when I woke up, I'm getting sleepy now and that could cloud my math... So I'm not taking the risk, sorry for the waiting though.
>>
>>1166317
It's why you need to make sure to not rely on something to save your rear at such a low CP cost. Specializing can give you an edge, but trying to rely on it completely will end badly.
>>1166321
No worries, tomorrow is important. Hopefully we can get everything together to fight the greenman and soften it up.
>>
>>1166342
The Wraith was never designed to win the tournament
I just wanted to make A Stealth Recon Mech within the CP limit
I did build a version with better gear and armor but no stealth
It was unanimously labeled as generic and forgotten
>>
>>1166342
You know... Sometimes i wonder if at the end of this tournament we will be at each others throaths because of "Crit-Winning" leading to bizzarre resolutions...

Good night to you guys.
>>
>>1166354
Oh there will most definitely be salt.

but the fun comes from not knowing who's going to be bringing it.
>>
>>1166352
Oh, I really liked your designs man, even that one that didn't have stealth.
Yeah, it was vulnerable to ASP... but whats the problem in that? Not everyone can be a Betta and most people don't even have that, it was down to earth and took in consideration giving the chance to the pilot for defending himself in case of detection.

Don't worry about it being generic or whatever, just look at Amos and where piloting a "generic" mech took him.
>>
>>1166352
Don't think I called it such. Either way, got to know your limits with that sort of thing.
>>
>>1166354
I never expected or hoped my tank would win, so whatever happens is fine.

And could you do me a favor? I know I've had the name Rolling Thunder for a long time, but could you change the name to Blitz in your paste when you wake up?
>>
(ʳ ´。°)ʳ
so I know reactive shields aren't allowed in the tourney, but what about ablative shields? not going to make another mech but I was curious anyway.
>>
>>1166438
considering ablative shields are still reactive shields, the answer is still no.
>>
>>1164545

Well that, and the fact that redering the things was ungodly expensive, They focused on the human actors because every minute a transformer was on the screen costed millions.
>>
>>1166769
Your not wrong but they they do this shit constantly in every medium.
>>
So, is human scale tech something that can be worn or a robot or something?
>>
>>1167761
Both probably.
>>
>>1167783
The rulebook says both but doesn't give you a way to differentiate them.

How do you do the +Body stat that Power Armor gets?
>>
>>1167761

Human scale is mostly used for equipment for personal use. For instance, a human scale handheld melee weapon would be something like a regular sized sword or axe.
>>
>>1167852
Probably lifting, carrying, and all other stuff. soak and damage are already included.

Honestly, I am more concerned about getting everything organized and ready for the Greenman. Not sure how willing Fairchild is, but we have the most knowledge o the situation and what we have to bare on it. We also know it's threat and desire. If we can find out where it will be headed through the tremors, organize our forces and weaponry, and rally everyone to fire and drop every missile and sunfire bomb the moment it pops up, we could take it out.. or at least make it less a threat. Just need to somehow get Fairchild to allow us to control the situation.
>>
>>1167871
Yeah, I know. I'm trying to figure out the Armor/Servos.

Seriously, how the hell does power armor in vanilla work?

>>1167876
I'm fully expecting the Green Man to transfer his consciousness into the Gerin and use it as his new body.
>>
>>1167881
Oh there is no doubt there. He'd be revived and likely at a high roll.Plus side is he would likely be using only what the gerin has with him. His sword. But that depends on if he's going to take the gerin to the center or go to it. One option gives us missiles, the other time to prep.
>>
>>1167889
Hes probably going to have the sword plus a bunch of biological shit.

>>1167965
He is going to put his torso and what is left of is bioarmor inside of the Paladin's armor and try to use whatever is left of it combined with whatever systems he still has.

But then we will megacrit him with missiles AGAIN, and be done with it.

HANABI my brothers, Hanabi.
>>
>>1168060
>attack with missiles
>one of the old subsystems he had was anti-missile point defense guns

Where is your god now?
>>
>>1168040
The idea was to use the smaller ball and chain to keep costs both weight and cp down so the remaining CP is used for that pack is used for weight reduction(maybe go full on boost hammer and have the verniers in the ball and chain?). Probably need to give the grand cracker 1 space efficiency for one handing it. 5 CP booster with Max boost of 20 for all load outs. Should leave it just a few wiggle room cp.. in case I want to give a Dutchman a horn or weight efficiency for the clumsy footed manly. All in all, it looks fine.
>>
>>1168064
Pfffff
He would have to roll EVEN HIGHER than our roll.
Where is your desu now?
>>
>>1168074
>implying it doesn't have fuckoff high stats in addition to the shit on the Gerin
>>
>>1168064
Ahhh, but thats where the war crime in the box comes in. Can't defend or dodge and it could take those systems out. I hope he tries to imitate us and go for a limb with an active shield and guns to replace the missing limb.
>>
>>1168083
Even with absurd stats, it really doesn't matter if we megacrit it, his chances would be small even with luck and +3 WA.
>>
>>1168085
Its got the mass to add on as many limbs as it wants.
>>
>>1168096
Not necessarily. Certain bits may not be right for combat, and I don't think he can change the dedicated nature so fast. He doesn't really have the time to transfer all the mass.. especially if the ships decide to start using their main guns on the center of mass.
>>
>>1168108
His mass of tentacles he attacked us with at the start was about as big as our whole squad and that whole thing was right for combat.
>>
>>1168091
>it really doesn't matter if we megacrit it,

You can say that about literally anything. The Kaiser would be a bitchboy if someone megacritted it. The Megas would be a garbage heap if someone megacritted it.

The point is we may not find it so easy to megacrit. Especially as the number of rolls he gets to defend with increase.
>>
>>1168113
Indeed. We also completely destroyed that part and it took him a long time to make it. His systems seem pretty dedicated when the thing was bigger than the rest of his body combined. We've also being poisoning him constantly, so making new stuff is likely out as well. I still plan on dumping everything we have on him and not giving him a chance, though. Like hell this scavenger who acts so high and mighty will get what they desire... and the same goes for the Greenman!
>>
>>1168135
We completely destroyed a part that attacked us on foot. Considering the part that attacked us initially was able to attack like 10 mechs simultaneously he probably has plenty more.
>>
>>1168138
We also destroyed the stuff in the water with all the ships and allies. Wong even answered that earlier. All his shit was in one bloated arm that was bigger than the rest of him. We destroyed that. If the rest was keeping him alive, then whatever he uses will not be of the same quality, quantity, or power, ESPECIALLY if he has to shoe horn it into the heavily damaged gerin which is missing it's pilot. The thing that allows it to move.
>>
>>1168152
He's also a master of biological manipulation. It's not too far-fetched for him to integrate himself into the Gerin and take control.
>>
>>1168231
Never said he isn't. But he's also someone who is used to something bigger. In his own words paladins are much weaker. Mere shadows. He's going from his own custom Ferrari to hotwiring someone else's jeep. Even if he does take control, it's not going to be as good as it would be if he had his arm for parts or Lucas alive with all the Gerin's bits.
>>
Anyone remember offhand the equation for suggested height in this system?
>>
>>1168340
1.5 times torso kills. I'm pretty sure that's total height, legs included.
>>
>>1168340
Confirming it's >>1168341
>>
>>1168340
Well Fairchild, you wanted some glory, so here's a greenman. Go kill it and be an hero.
>>
>>1168356
She probably could you know.
>>
>>1168361
hopefully the greenman will crit her.
>>
>>1168361
She could, but she could also die. She could also run away like a bitch and then we crit the greenman.. or the sunfire bomb hurts it. Either way, greenman dies so make use of everything we can.
>>
You know, the Martians here are going to go fucking rabid once they see an actual greenman. Sweet.
>>
>>1168371
>implying the Jovians wont also go rabid
The only people who realistically wouldn't go rabid are disgusting greenman worshiping degenerates.
>>
>>1168371

And we've got Lok here. Oh damn. Hes going to do more damage to us that the avalonians.
>>
I'm really hoping Sam manages to get the battlefield footage out before Fairy can put a spin on it.
>>
>>1168368
>>1168361
>>1168356

She will probably stay behind us, give "support" with th drones while we (and the rabid martians) take it out, and then claim credit for leading the operation from the proverbial trenches. SHe might even allow someone else to take the kill without trying to steal it, simply being the highest ranking officer present will let her soak up all the glory she could want.
>>
>>1168373
Please, everyone knows the Jovians are the most disciplined and organized fighting force in the known universe.

/sarcasm
>>
>>1168375
Even if she does, Sam's angle and different view will make it hard to call 'fake'. It's what made the battle of auditorium and Suliman hard to fake. Too many angles that matched up. So if she saw Fairchild hovering above them while Garret was getting stabbed... well, how much will she pay to keep that silent?
>>
>>1168380
I mean, I wouldn't turn my nose up at drone support. Especially from the qubeley.
>>
>>1168388
Better to save it to counter her next plan
>>
>>1168393
Think the Green Man will go after her once he sees those bits? The Thoroughbred X did shoot him down.
>>
>>1168388

Not one red cent, having it become public knowledge that the Iron Kestrels are interfering on a galactic scale is beneficial to her. Besides, what she has is good enough, as the commanding officer she can already nab a lot of credit for this, especially since it's her signature on the order to build the S-Delphinius so strong.
>>
>>1168399
Probably have a job getting at her through the three lads.
>>
>>1168401
Hmmm.. fair enough. Guess it would be more intel and knowing what she has before she uses it on us. Could allow us to make a counter... by the way, how much cp do we have for that anti range shield?
>>
>>1168388
Hard to call what fake? Fairchild taking the credit or Amos taking down the Gerin?
>>
>>1168415
Fairchild watching the thing and letting the Gerin fall as Amos tries to kill it.

“CANCEL THAT ORDER! ALL UNITS RETURN AT ONCE! SENIOR OFFICER IN DANGER, I REPEAT, SENIOR OFFICER IN DANGER!” Fairchild shouts.

“Ma'am! No! Belay that!” You reply hastily

“How dare you, Lieutenant, that thing is a Green Man!” Her drones abruptly surround your mech, slender beam cannons bristling, “Do you want us all to die?!”

“No, but...we have a weapon. It needs to come up here, right? Clear all units from a 1km radius around the target site, 1.5km to be safe, and I'll call on the Martians to drop the bomb they made.” You protest, “I've seen its specs, it was built to kill the Gerin, it should at least be able to damage this thing enough or us to finish it off.”

She hesitates, “Mars is in a turbulent political situation right now, Lieutenant. Jupiter could use this win to solidify our position as leaders of the SSL. Believe me, I know it might cost lives, but it's worthwhile to die for Jupiter.”

You bite back the urge once again to put your beam lance through her cockpit. You know she has no intention of dying for the sake of her homeworld. Still, though, “The fewer losses we have, the more powerful we look, ma'am. Let the Martians blow something up, the footage will still show Jovians finishing it off. Show you finishing it off.”

For a moment, she's silent, then barks out another order on general comms, “ALL UNITS, MAINTAIN A 1.5KM PERIMETER AROUND...” She relays the coordinates, “DO NOT APPROACH! I REPEAT, DO NOT APPROACH! WE'RE CALLING IN AN EXPERIMENTAL WEAPON!” She returns to the short-range frequency, “Make it happen, Lieutenant.”

You roll your eyes and contact the Cassim's Folly. Much to your surprise, the crew are very respectful once they hear your name. In particular, the young woman on the other end who lost both of her older brothers to the Berenger and then saw you shoot it down. When she hears what you want, she announces it jubilantly, with much ALLAHU AKBARing from those around her. A Tulwar is already being launched, a nasheed rising up from the crew. You even hear what sounds like an Imam blessing the War Crime in a Box, and add your own personal best wishes while using your instruments to zoom in on what's happening with the Gerin.

It's a little bit surprising. For one thing, whatever's happening in the mud, it's spitting pieces of the Gerin's armor out one by one. Then many of the superfluous mechanical parts. The sword goes flying end-over-end through the air and stabs deep into the trunk of a tree. A huge, white pod of fungal flesh rises up out of the mud, tendrils whipping wildly...and then a hand bursts from it. A hand covered in shiny, chlorophyll-green flesh and hard, leaf-like scales.

“C u r s e y o u a l l . . .” A slow voice so resonant that it sounds more like a bass cello replicating the human voice than any natural throat rumbles across your comms, “D o y o u k n o w t h e d a m a g e y o u h a v e c a u s e d? Y o u p o i s o n m y w a t e r s. Y o u f i l l m y s k y w i t h s m o k e. U n l e a s h y o u r m o n s t r o s i t i e s, I w i l l n o t f l i n c h.

F a r e w e l l, m y f r i e n d. . .” Great lumps of sessile, rotting plant flesh slump off the thing emerging from the pod, ripped free by the spines growing from its arms. An incredibly dense network of lush, green and brown vines covers its frame now, and a glowing core of what looks like amber can be seen inside its torso. A monstrous caricature of a face has replaced its blank visor. “G e r i n, m y c h i l d, w h y d o y o u r e s i s t m y s o n g? D o y o u t o o m o u r n t h e o n e y o u l o s t? W h y h a s m y k i n s w o m a n a l t e r e d y o u t h i s w a y? W h y i s t h i s a l l I c a n d o?”

The S-Squilla tugs the S-Delphinius' arm as the newborn thing continues ripping itself free of the rotten remains of the Bio-Armor, your contingent of mecha flying at top speed towards a safe distance. It is not quite fast enough...

>>1168489
The way the Father talks about the Gerin, how she was shot down over Avalon, how after 30 Years she's only interfered tangentially with Avalonian Politics and provides only a select few with Paladin's or enhancements. She's either a juvenile Viridians way in over her head or an extremely crafty Viridians who enjoys toying with an entire nation and is using them to strike back indirectly at Jupiter.

Of course, it's more than likely that I'm just completely wrong.

Ah, without challenging or supporting any of your conclusions, your base facts are wrong. The Gerin, he said, isn't giving him full access, he's blaming alternately it and the Lady. Also, he was shot down too, and she had a lot more opponents (you know this, the Duke told you) than the Father did.

What if the Lady is doing some weird shit and using the Paladins as information gathering devices? Like you know, she "downloads" things they see and shit to learn about it. She's just gathering data to upgrade her bioarmor when she's finally ready.

I don't buy that she can't make a new suit. She just hasn't yet. She's trying to get modern tech and cutting edge shit so she can adapt to it.

My money is on her being something of a moderate. She prefers the older mode of advising and peace brokering that they used to use than the more brute force methods that they resorted to in the war.

Char's Counterattack was bad because it invalidated the entirety of his Character development and was a movie, which made the plot rushed and badly paced.

>invalidated the entirety of his Character development
Not really, the build in Zeta was him trying to run from his destiny and how he didn't want to be in charge. He got pushed into position by Blex dying and had to take responsiblity. Granted I don't know what happened between Zeta and CCA but it isn't that unbelievable that he came to turn with his fathers goal and just tried to force it.

And Char is cool and was super pro spacenoid, its not a shock why people would follow him.

The monstrosity shudders and shakes, curling its torso inward and crossing its arms across its chest. Then, with an ear-shattering shriek, it throws them wide, streaks of blackness crisscrossing the sky. As they zoom closer, you realize they look like long, black thorns driven by some biochemical propellant vented through slits.

You zig and zag, dodging most, parrying others, but you still have one explode in a gout of acidic goo that pits and scars the right knee of the S-Delphinius (-1 SP, -1 K to right leg, 6 and 6 remaining). One momentarily overloads Simon's left-hand shield, but fortunately he still has a second beam mitten. Irina would throw a pen at you if you called them beam mittens, but in your mind that's just what they are.

As for Garret...momentarily, you're worried, his shield is still overloaded and he can't dodge them all. Fortunately, the golden bubble springs back into being just before the first thorn to find its mark is about to impact, and he whoops exuberantly, “FUCK YOU VEGETABLE!” He crows, flashing an obscene gesture.

“ENSIGN LUXOL CONTROL YOURSELF!” The General snaps, “This is why I prefer all-female squads, you don't see this kind of behavior from girls. I think boys just never mature completely, science says you MIGHT just be incomplete women to begin with and-” She snarls as one of her drones explodes from a direct thorn hit, “I'm going to take out my anger on this damned thing. Lieutenant! Status on that bomb!”

You check your instruments, reading the location of the oncoming Tulwar some distance up, “Passed us already, ma'am.” You get on the comms, wincing as her squad all take minor damage from the spray of thorns, “When you hit the 1km mark, drop into the trees, that should shield us. Anything past that is just gravy.”

You hit the foliage, your friends slightly behind you. Moments later, the earth rocks, and a mighty wind is torn away from the center of a blast that turns the entire sky orange. Your temperature sensors inform you that a chunk of a star has momentarily appeared planetside.

>>
>>1168972

Mind reminding me where the rules on that are? I am apparently looking in all the wrong places.
>>
>>1168998
It's under ammo, but the effects are simple; after the first hit, it will hit again for the same amount next turn. The turn after that, it hits again for half the previous turn. Then half that the next turn. If it reaches below 1/2, the effect ends. Of course, this is armor piercing incendiary so it makes up for that.
>>
>>1168955
rules for techno-organic regen are like... 1K per turn
>>1168998
incendiary is half weapon damage and keeps getting halved per turn in effect so if it was 8k
the first turn of burn is 4k, then 2k then 1K iirc
turns of effect is determined by how many times the location was hit apparently?
its on page 39 or 40 of the ATM
>>
>>1168998

Found it and it's actually not helpful here because the arm takes all the fire and is destroyed, unless that means it starts taking damage to the Torso.
>>
>>1169022

Yeah, from the sound of it it takes 20 damage to (location), then 10 damage the next turn.
>>
>>1169025
Up to you there. I can see the fire starting to eat away at the rest or spreading a bit, but taking a entire limb out is impressive in it's own right.
>>
>>1169042
Kind of reminds me of the time we were dealing with the Terrasque, actually. Destroyed it's pack and kept hitting that zone to hit it's torso.
>>

The Father of Qu'lir looks up. He's angry. Beyond angry, really...but deep down, in his heart of hearts, part of him is still the gentle worldsculptor who saw potential for beauty in Qu'lir's onetime craggy mountains and then-acidic seas. It's been so long since he's seen the sun with his own eyes, even through this mist it's nearly blinding in a wonderful way. An animal's vision just isn't the same, they have perspectives tailored to the ways they live, and once he possessed the Qu'liri he kept them close as guards and didn't let them outside. His body is still paralyzed, but he's confident that can be fixed, he just needs access to some proper tools and at least now he has the means to move now that he has a functioning bio-armor nervous system even if its shell is still quite weak. Only being able to form one type of weapon at once is a tremendous pain! Still, the humans flee from him, and if he could sigh, he would do it. Wrapped in his heart of amber, with milky vines piercing deep into his skin from every angle keeping his muscles from degrading completely, his heart beating, and his lungs pumping, his comatose body can express itself only through the mech he rides, tilting its head around to look at everything.

“Beautiful.” He says, softly, “So beautiful.” Eyes that can barely still blink water, and tears trickle down his face. The foggy forests were always one of the most calming places on the world he made his home. The warm rain is the first thing he wants to feel on his skin when he's able to walk again. He can see the dueling battleships, and while the Avalonian is taking heavy fire and is out of position to use its main gun he's always been an optimist. He'll fix himself. He'll go to Avalon. He'll see his sister again. They'll fix everything. It's all going to be okay. For the first time in decades, hope fills his desiccated heart.

“I love you, Qu'lir.” He says, and means it. The only thing that keeps him from being truly heartbroken at the nearly complete death of his bio-armor is the fact that it will return to the natural cycle of life here, on Qu'lir. It took all of his skill to perform this emergency graft with the core of his life support system and certain amounts of his bio-amor's own body.

However, the graft is in the Gerin's favor. This thing is not his bio-armor, but that of the viciously proud human who had bowed before him and died a cruel death at the hands of a cruel, cruel human. The hands that had shaped themselves into craggy claws of plant-flesh soften, their thorns diminishing, becoming a mass of long, graceful tentacles. He amplifies the tactile feedback with a thought, and runs these sensitive fingers over the branches of the nearest pine tree, feeling its gentle prickles. His worn lips twitch, and even if he can't form a smile, his eyes carry one.

Good news Loren! You don't have to worry about being turned into a puppet by the Father!
>>
He forgives his sister, his beloved friend, for making this nascent bio-armor capable of resisting Green Man songs other than her own. He doesn't know why she would do such a thing, but upon reflection it strikes him that maybe she feared the humans would be able to copy the effect and try using it to gain control of her assistants. Yes! That must be it! How clever of her, fitting for such a skilled warrior! Even if he was always better than her at the creation of worlds, he never considered her less than an equal. Together, their talents shall be magnified a thousandfold, and this time, they won't underestimate the humans! This time, weakened as he knows mankind is, it shall be wiped out and the galaxy will enter a perfect, beautiful era of countless virgin utopias unmarred by human hands.

A shadow passes overhead, but the Green Man has seen a flock of his beloved winged lizards, and is gazing at them fondly. Perhaps on Avalon, his dear sister has created something similar? If she has a clone of him around, this 'paralysis' problem becomes much, much more simple.

Something is falling towards him, and distracted as he is, he looks up and spots the fat little bomb dropping down on him, and throws his arm up to shield himself.

And then the world is fire.

His garden burns around him, and Amos would be gratified to know that the tactile settings on his mech are still at maximum as his arm is flash-burned and fingers of raw nerve-killing heat lick the torso of his mech.

Even Green Men can scream.

If you ever start feeling sorry for him, remember that Palmyra was terrified of having to kill people, remember that as much as she WANTED to be a hardened terrorist she didn't have the personality for it. Remember who whispered vengeance into her ears, and remember what he did to her when she could no longer function as a result of his manipulations. Most of all, remember that when you read his innermost thoughts, not a word about her was spoken, because he did not spare a single thought for her or the Qu'liri Liberation Front's other members.

The world is, indeed, fire. So hot that it doesn't spread as quickly as it could, the underbrush is consumed too quickly for that in the burst of intense heat, but it does spread. Later, there will have to be an effort to douse the flames. Most of the large animals and birds have already fled from the widespread battle.

You fly through hell. What few trees were not knocked over or burned to ash by the blast are like torches, they blaze with light. Sap bubbles and bark splits, leaves and needles crisp and blacken from the edges inward, falling ash and embers creating a strange impression of glowing snow.

The Green Man's steed is on its knees, the twisted stump of one arm raised over its face, the other propped against the ground. Its vital, living flesh is terribly burned, cracked and broken and scarred, and despite the obvious bulge of plant matter thickening around the cockpit-equivalent its torso armor is awfully, awfully burned. What you at first mistook for the wind is a dreadful, keening wail, incoherent shock mixed with dreadful pain. It shakes. It shakes and shivers and scrabbles at the ground as it struggles to stand up. You would feel sorry for it, but then you remember what it is.

More importantly, you remember what it did. “Sergeant Humphrey O'Neil. Private Dorcas Brown. Those poor damned Qu'liri.” You say over the comms. Fairchild's mech turns its head towards you quizzically, but the Pyxicephalus nods and the Squilla tightens its hands into fists. Garret and Simon repeat the names in unison. Garret remembers the names of every one of the Qu'liri girls he had on his contacts list.

“Lieutenant Wedge.” The General asks, “I must say, I am impressed by this...bomb...the Martians built. I should very much like one of my own, and if a certain someone was still alive I could probably get it, but alas he's dead and I'm forced to make new allies in the meantime. I will personally extend my compliments to the Martian contingent of the Innsmouth forces. Moreover, I'm impressed that you insisted on using it. This outcome satisfies me entirely. Tell me, do you have any intention of having an honorable duel with this thing, testing your might and seeking glory?” She pauses, and then adds, “Or do you mind if we reduce it to ash through the superior firepower of the human race?”

“This one doesn't deserve a glorious end, ma'am.” You opine, leveling your beam cannons. You see Jovian mecha hovering around the perimeter of the blast, moving inward, and more descending from the ships above, flying or using Mantas. The Avalonian battleship, in the distance, drops to the forest floor with smoke rising from countless holes and wounds, “This isn't a fight, it's an execution. Glass the ground he stands on, please.”

“Well said, Lieutenant.” Her voice is too composed, you'd bet she's recording all of this, “All forces, this is General Hermione Fairchild. On my order, we end this war and the Avalonian invasion of the planet Qu'lir. It is with great pride and no small amount of pleasure that I consign this Green Man to oblivion. Unleash Jovian thunder.”

The Green Man lifts its remaining hand, trying to shape a weapon from the malleable flesh remaining, and Simon's tongue-harpoon catches it as he soars around in a circle, yanking its arm behind its back as it struggles. Everything else opens fire, you and Garret included. The Green Man's mech is sturdy, at first it just twitches and shakes as plasma rocks it, but as the armor cracks the bolts start tearing holes through it. One severs its arm and Simon quickly gets out of the way. The CIWS turrets of your ships open up, pummeling the ground like rain with columns of plasma, frying the land to glass. The Green Man dies slow, cooked inside his own mech as it's reduced to ash, and when the fire stops the S-Squilla puts its foot on the probably-already-useless cockpit ball and stomps the once-pretty amber orb into shards of cloudy sap and a trace amount of burned organic matter.

You hear the General sigh in an almost orgasmic way, “That, gentlemen, is that. Qu'lir is ours. We'll mop up any survivors, make a show of kindness towards any PoWs to damage pro-Avalon sentiment on other contested worlds, and after your next promotion ceremony and the official reunification of Qu'lir as a junior partner in the Solar League...I'm campaigning to remove System from it, I find it rather limits our ambitions by making us sound centralized on our home star...we go home. Back to where we belong.”

I see it all now. Wong's just copy pasting characters from DBZ by changing their character, the order they appear in the story, their role int the story, and the central themes and messages of DBZ. It's so simple. I can see it all.
>>
>>1169391
HOLY SHIT I CRACKED THE CODE! IT'S SO OBVIOUS TO ME NOW!

MR. WONG WAS SOMNIUS THE ENTIRE TIME!

WE'VE BEEN RUSED, LADS, ABANDON THREAD!

>we go home. Back to where we belong.”

>trying to keep a soldier out of the war
>trying to keep Amos around as a figurehead and propaganda
>just being an all around piece of shit

God can someone just stab her in the face already?
>>
>>1169333

I had a hard time not revealing this earlier, but it was very easy with certain choices to actually make the war for Qu'lir unwinnable and have the story become about nobility during a horrific war and valor during the retreat from the planet, perhaps with themes of "maybe we shouldn't win this world." The actions you took led to the ending you got, as it should be. Some of the choices you made did make things harder, but ultimately I think for the most part you made the right decisions. I can't think of any offhand that were gratuitously wrong, even if a few were unwise they still turned out alright.

You also gave Irina her Best Ending.
>>
>>1169391

All stories, deep down, are DBZ.
>>
>>1169399

Wait, who? Is this something I'd know about if I read more quests?
>>
>>1169427
That sounds like something SOMNIUS would say.
>>
>>1169421
Hell yeah boss.

>>1169427
A dude that ran a lot of DBZ quests, and apparently was pretty crap. Never read his stuff myself, only encountered when another DBZ QM got accused of being him.
>>
>>1169421
Was there any time we got real close to fucking up the entire situation?
>>
>>1169421

Examples? Where could it have veered off into shit territory?
>>
>>1169421
It feels nice to see all our efforts provide fruit. It still was a story of valor or nobility, but one of triumph instead of defeat. The final scene with the greenman made it all that more cathartic. Everyone we helped working together and our efforts and going out there to face the enemy and do the right thing making things brighter.
Hector and Liz are alive. The Tesla 5 are alive. We are on our way to redeem the cat people and make them respected. Simon has grown, Garret has a girlfriend, Amos has become a SPLENDID leader, and SOUL has started to show some luster again. Even Jesus grew a bit and likely sees Amos in a heroic light.
Sure Fairchild is smug, but that hurts her in the end. She doesn't notice the things occuring around her and while Amos IS a soldier, he'd be the first to go at her if she committed treason. He's probably 18 everywhere now.
Good to know Irina got her happy end too. She deserved it.

I keep trying to but my knife can't cut through my screen.

SOM is kind of a mixed bag. his quests are alright if you like the source material, and he runs frequently so there always some kind of constant progress.

He is also extremely infamous for bullshit deaths and shitty unsatisfying endings. The most recent DBZ quest I ended up dropping after Tofoo died charging after a acid-spitting alien.
>>
>>1169421
Thanks for running Wong... This one was amazing, easily being one of the top 5 best sessions we had... Well done man, this thing is just incredible.

Greenman death was the best ending possible, he just got screwed twice at the worst ways possible.

I can't wait to see what is going to happen next.


SO, MY BROTHERS KESTRELS! THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME! NOW WENah, just me WILL BEGIN OUR LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MECHAS!

PLEASE CHECK THE PASTEBIN AND REPORT ANY PROBLEM AND IF YOUR MECH IS ALREADY IN.

Also,

>Dutch, Send me the new final pastebin for the F-type.
>GYRFALCON YOU MADMAN PLEASE SEND ME YOUR FINAL BUILD NOW!
>M-Sagister... Are you done?
>Tank-kouhai, I will change your name as soon as I wake up today, sorry for the delay, things happened as you can guess by my ausence.

See you guys tomorrow.

I'm serious, I'm going to revise everything and everyone one last time, please check the thread for any notice about your mechs.

Everyone who used PW is confirmed for adjustments.
>>
>>1169496
Also, I made a check with the guardian's phanalyx. It should be fine. 3 CP, with another .5 to make it 2 spaces, and the ammo takes up 1 space. So 3 spaces and three spaces were free. I'll keep the other things in mind, just give me a sec. Hope you saw my previous comments.
>>
>>1169496
Thanks for changing the name. I know it seems a bit silly, but it means a lot.
>>
>>1169496
>>1169503
Well, means a lot to me.
>>
>>1169496
Yeah at this point I think I'm done with the M-Sagister, pastebin should be the same as last time.

Well, i'm back. Had a few personal issues the last 3 weeks, but i finallly had some spare time to finish the Gyrfalcon's revisions. Here it is.

http://pastebin.com/WXG3v93N

-weapons have been changed, using your tips
-second pair of wing removed, replaced by extra thrusters
-applied some extra space efficiency to the torso guns to fit everything in the mech
-double checked all the math, taking out all incremental spaces, etc.

Best of luck with managing the pastebin BR. i'm going to bed, maybe i can catch at least some sleep today.
>>
>>1169446

Hard to say. Beating the Berenger made a good end a lot more likely. Sleeping with Irina made a good end a lot more likely...I'll answer this question again tomorrow when I'm not falling asleep.

You could really argue that choosing to fight the Berenger was putting all your cards on the table because if you'd lost (and Garret was taken) you'd be facing Garret with Green Man bullshit, Duchess Maria, and Count Ford PLUS the Green Man.

Choosing to shoot the maids instead of tranqing them would have made things harder too.

Hey BR, I had a favor to ask of you. If I can not make it to the threads, due to school and life currently kicking my butt, will you run the TEMPLAR in my absence?
>>
>>1169599

Doesn't Wong just manage the fights himself, like all NPC's?
>>
>>1169644
Just as well. For all the mechs I made I still only barely understand the combat rules.

He is also infamous for occasionally trying to pretend to be a new QM. It generally doesn't last a thread before people figure it out.
>>
>>1169558
Well.. if I were to hazard some guesses.
Letting Liz's sister live to capture her made it capable for us to end the fight with Hector without releasing the Paladin. So even with that plan of hers, we didn't have to refight.
Hector seeing us as a honorable man allowed us to find the traitor. That meant we stopped the leak and made our job easier as well.
Going to the Dam. If we didn't go there, that thing would have fused, wouldn't it?
Going for Simon's legs and doing it non lethal meant the Squilla was combat ready.
Really, the only loose ends I see is who gave Lucas the tech and who was the masked man, Bane? We have someone who can tell us if he's awake.
Finally, Amos earned the name 'Grandonie', didn't he?

One thing you need to realize is that Irina had a thin, thin line between being a villainess and being a heroine. Sure, she felt bad over some of the stuff she did...but so did Palmyra, and that didn't save her. With the wrong choices made, she would have been a true antagonist in her own right.

>>1169746
>>1169756

Wrong. The Imperium is awesome and so far players have been good about not injecting it into everything.

>absolute worst of humanity

Surviving and uniting against all odds is the worst?

>>1169595

Next Monday, not this upcoming one.
>>
>>1170119
Amos just brought out the best in everyone, didn't he? Going to be a long week between updates, but it will be exciting.
>>
>>1170119
>absolute worst of humanity
Wasn't that kind of the point? That to just survive, humanity has to be at its lowest and worst? 40K being grimmy-grimdark and all
>>
>>1170150
It's more pragmatism than evil. Human lives just aren't worth much in 40K.
>>
>>1170158
Yeah, The Imperium is brutal, merciless and extremely intolerant, but when you have a bunch of aliens trying to fuck you over as well as literal demons from hell trying to destroy you from within and without then it's kind of necessary.
>>
>>1170178
There are a few explicit mentions of human allied Xenos getting wiped out in the Great Crusade without remorse or provocation IIRC.

can I make a set of beam cannons that can transform into a nova cannon type thing?

are transforming/combining weapons a thing basically?
>>
>>1170376
There is the Energy pool
>>
>>1170389
ah right... those things...guess i'll need to read the rules on those.
just wondering If I could combine two handheld beam guns into a bigger beam shotgun thing, sorta like the gundam wing does...

also could I make a drone that turns into/can function as a hand cannon?
>>
>>1170442
There are rules for combiners. Its insane.
>>
>>1170442
There's the Stupid Mekton Trick that transforms a mech into a weapon one scale larger than it. So you would have to make a roadstriker if you wanted a normal scale mech to be able to use it easily.
>>
>>1170452
I forgot about that, could be fun
I just want to build something weird to take my mind off things.
>>
>>1170192
They were probably only setting up a betrayal anyway.
>>
>>1170376
You can make combining weapons, which are much more head wrecking than combining mechs.
You can also make a servo that turns into a weapon with modular metaforms I think? One of the metaforms anyway.

>>1170522
>much more head wrecking than combining mechs.
Much less head wrecking I meant to say.

Okjay, I'm here again, Lets go in the order by which people replied to my comment, then by the order in which the names are on the pastebin.
Za Walkure will be left for the last because I still have to tweak the missiles to fit the 4 loadouts model.

Also... I'm not the ultimate Mekton rulesmaster... So I would be glad if any of you took the time to confirm my comments on the mechs and question any doubts regarding the system just to avoid any possibilities of human error.

Leaving that aside, here is some comments Wong gave about what we can use:
>No Reactive Shields
>No Space Efficiency on Thursters.
>MV limit is -2(Minimum).
>Weight reduction only reduces MV, the weight continues the same for dropkicks and running speed.
>Ammo weight is abolished.
>Only level 1 verniers are allowed.
>Beta Armor only allowed to Avalonians and maybe Kestrels.

Okay, so checking order:
>Dutch-Senpai and his F-Type.
>Noblewoman-onee-sama and her M-Sagister
>Tottalynotaspyanon and his Loggerhead
>Chuuni-boy and his Gyrfalcon.
>Markedfordeathanon and his Libra.
>Chimeranon and his Chimera.

Then the rest:
>ELO and his SaturnWraith
>Overworkedanon and his Buddy.
>Thunder-Senpai and his Húskarl
>Avalonanon and his Templar
>Mechbay-oba-san and her Myrm
>Battoujutsu-san and his Lightning
>Not!hunk and the Pumpkinseed Jager.
>Katherine-onee-san and the Valkyrie.
>Wyatt and the Pharcyde
>Tank-kouhai and the Blitz.
>Solaireanon and his EXCALIBUR!Ulfberht

>>1169599
It would be an honor kouhai! But I still would prefer having you here to enjoy this moment with us... But if you can't make it I would do my best to be here to roll the dice for you and secure your victory!

ALEA JACTA EST!

>>1170119
Hey Wong, it is possible that this thread gets archived before I can revise everyone... Could you make a new one next week in preparation for the tourney? Like that one you made a long time ago just for questions and such.
>>
>>1170625
Dude you don't red to check the Libra again. The only difference from last time is that it goes 50m faster from the reduced weight and the changed bayonet that costs the same as the old one.
>>
>>1170625
Oh yeah, forgot. I made another gun for Blitz. It costs the same and weighs the same, so you won't have to go over everything again and neither will I. Can you add it once you get done with the rest?

(Head Mounted) Big Zap: WA 2, 10K, 4,225 Meter Range, Long Range, 5 Tons, 4 Spaces, 19 Space Efficiency, 32 CP (Base 22.5)
>>
>>1170773
Well, I suppose I should post the math. It has Long Range, 2 WA, and 50% range.

15 x 1.5 x 1.33 x .75
>>
>>1170808
So it would have a 2450 range, not 4225. Halves the base range to 7 from 13, then it's 7 x 7 for it's long range.
>>
>>1170822
I halved from the meter range of 8,450 since Wong uses meters instead of tiles.
>>
>>1170830
Except you are halving something that is 13 x 13. You don't halve the extreme range, you halve the base. 13.2 is 6.5. Being nice I made it 7. Then the gun's extreme range is 7 squared. 7 x 7. 49. Times that by 50 for meters.
>>
>>1170844
Calm down. Where does it even say you halve the tile base instead of meter base? Why would I even do that when we don't even use tiles?
>>
>>1170911
Because at the base you are getting the math wrong. The reason I am poking you isn't because you are using meters, but because you are getting the numbers wrong. 13 x 13= 169 and that is your max range. At 50 m each Ma, thats 8450, the number you are halving. But it's the number you are NOT suppose to halve. That number is the 13 that is the base range. Even if we do use meters, the numbers still need to be the same. Simply put, you are getting quite a bit more range than you should doing what you did.
>>
>>1170961
>That number is the 13 that is the base range. Even if we do use meters, the numbers still need to be the same. Simply put, you are getting quite a bit more range than you should doing what you did
Since we're using meters instead of tiles, I ignore the tile ranges and always convert to meters first. I didn't this time because it's the exact same equation if you do or don't, 13x50x13x0.5 instead of 13x13x50x0.5. It's still 4225.
>>
>>1170986
..Ok, you keep missing the point. You do not divide it after you square the number. You divide the first 13, then you square it.
>>
>>1171000
You're misunderstanding, 13x50 is the base range in meters, 650. Why would I use tile range instead of meter range when we're using meters?
>>
>>1171024
Because either way the number ends up the same. Seriously, you keep snaking past the point I am making. The meters does not matter, it's the fact that you are messing up the calculations by putting the numbers in the wrong order. the order should be, using your own thing (13/2)x50x(13/2). What you are doing breaks the rules because in MA or meters, you are getting 35.5 MA or 1775 extra meters when you shouldn't.
>>
>>1171024
Wait, fuck. I'm forgetting the second 13. Drunk math is bad math, I guess.
>>
>>1171073
Dutch is right, your range should be 2450.
You first multiple your tiles (7x7=49) THEN you convert to meters.

My only doubt is if Wong accepts half-tile measurements and lets you have 7,5 x 7,5 instead... But that is up to you to ask him about.
>>
>>1171097
He's already rounding from 6.5. It probably wouldn't make sense to have half a tile of range, but we'll see.
>>
>>1171097
Well, his base range is 13, so it would be 6.5 following the half rules. So 42.25 MA
>>
>>1171097
>>1171103
>>1171105
I'll actually go ahead and say he probably won't, since that ends up being 2,112.5 meters. He wouldn't like the weird math that entails.
>>
I wish I knew I could reduce long range weapons earlier. Now I fear if I try to revise the Libra again BR will track me down and murder me.
>>
>>1171105
Sorry, I messed up by one point.

Also, Dutch...
On the stardard loadout your true CP cost should be 32.5CP what leaves you with 1CP to spend... I Reccomend either getting +1K on the cracker to ablate people without speacial armor, or to give +1 on your Heat Axe as you still have 0.5tons to fill anyway.

Also... Your ball and chain base range should be 3 hexes(150m) in accord to your arm size... And the Kills sacrifice only apply to Entangling weapons, and in their case their range isn't added to the throwing range....
Did you ask Wong for permission on this?
>>
>>1171105
Also... Choosing MA13 for a Zaku is an interesting choice... Did you did that with the new 12MA tendecy in mind? That MA13 would mean that he could catch up even with those 12MA mechs if needed...
>>
>>1171184
It's not as good as you think. If you try to do what Blitzy did, your range is going to hurt. Extreme range gets better the higher your base range is. When you halve it, then you reach the sort of situation where someone with a 7 kill beam gun and enough time could plink them to death.
>>1171207
Well, the original was an entangling weapon. A returning weapon is 1.5x modifier. I think I did the math wrong there actually. 8 kills, AP, and Entangling is 10. With 2.5 CP it's one handed.. which I should be enough left over from other things.
>>1171240
It's actually a mix of things! With the booster pack I can move and shoot on the first turn, but can't break 12 MA. However, with a base speed of 13, I can maintain it and close in, even using 6 Ma to fire a shot on the go, or use more to move in.
>>
>>1171278
Entangling? I Assumed it was a Thrown weapon, not even returning.... You're already on the limit there my friend, from where are you going to take CP enough for that?

The atual math on it is:
4 x2(AP) x1.2(Thrown)= 9.6 +2.3 Space Efficiency to make it one hand= 11.9CP
>>
>>1171278
Oh, also, your feet aren't really linked by that price, sorry, forgot about it last time.
You could remove 2k from each feet to make them linked though.
>>
>>1170625
Overworked Anon? Nice. In that sense, I would like the thread to run Buddy in my place, then.

And now we're out of Vietnyam, it seems. Fun.
>>
>>1171325
Ah, but with the numbers I crunch, it is doable! 81 CP for the base frame, 6.5 for saber, 12 for shield, 12.5 for ball and chain. 2 for weight loss, 20 for thrusters, and 5 for a backpack. 139 CP! Doable! Same range, don't need to grab it again, and it entangles for 1 less damage.
>>1171354
? Not sure how that was messed up. 4 kills is 2 CP. Making it WA+2 is 4 CP. Clumsy for feet makes it 2 CP again. 1 CP is used for space efficiency so it's like normal feet. Interservo linkage is 6 CP. 3x2=6+6=12.
>>
>>1171240
Your Grand Cracker costs 5.6CP not 5.9CP.
So your Guardian max cost is 33.4CP not 34CP.

That should leave you with 138.5CP...And +1.5 to spend on your Loadouts... So 35CP instead of 33.5...

Have fun.

M-Sagister, now let me give a look at what you have...
>>
>>1171399
Yeah... I just noticed that, forgot that feet doesn't use handy like hands and that Clumsy makes them even cheaper. so you're right they cost 2CP each...
BUT

Check the Corebook on legs extremities... Feet doesn't take up spaces.
>>
>>1171484
We've had this fight before.There is nothing to suggest that you can make custom feet except by following the ATM. Any attempt to extrapolate nonexistent rules from the Core book is silly and dumb.
>>
Now that I've taken a break from drinking and For Honor I've made

>Head Mounted (Big Zap) WA 1, 11K, 5,000 Meter Range, Long Range, 5.5 Tons, 4 Spaces, 16 Space Efficiency, 27.4 CP (Base 19.4 CP, 29.4 CP with 1 Weight Efficiency)

Which makes the Blitz take a effective -2 against most any other mech (though it does actually reduce the weight by .5 Tons, funny enough.) Now I need to figure out what I would do with the extra 4.6 CP if I ever use this.

>>1171484
Oh yeah, I don't want to use that other gun anymore. Sorry I forgot to tell you.
>>
>>1171484
>>1171519
It's why I used space efficiency anyways. Matter of principal and it feels a bit better to me. Might spend a CP for a quick change mount for the head. Ripping it off after it got shot would help with intimidation and lessening weight.
>>
>>1171561
About that thing I said to you about buffing the Axe... you would need 1.5Cp for that, not 1CP, as I forgot to account for the space efficiency... Not a problem if you up the max from 33.5CP to 35CP, as it would let you buy the 0.5CP AND give it a quick change mount for the head.
>>
>>1171552
Man, You can have 4 Cannon loadouts if you want... You could even put the missiles into the account and do different combinations of missiles and cannons if you want.
>>
>>1170756
Doing that anyway... I now that it sounds redundant, but I really want to make sure of everything.

>>1171396
Are you sure that you can't show up for the battles man? We have no idea of what sort of strategies we are going to come up for your mech... But well... it could be fun anyway.
>>
>>1171975
I'm pretty sure. But hey, letting control go would be interesting on its own right. Can't wait to see what the thread will make up.
>>
>>1171988
If Wong lets we pick up our actions for the fights... I know that I'm going to go very austistic discussing strategies for the Buddy when your first fight gets annunciated.

But hey, how can you be so sure? Each fight will occur in different days, he even said that he would inform us days before they happening, you may get lucky or may manage bargain with him or something... If we is okay with it.... Maybe trading the date with another fight? I don't know.
>>
>>1172044
I know I'm sure. My work hours are gonna change to when Wong runs it, so I'll be really busy.
>>
>>1171975
>Doing that anyway... I now that it sounds redundant, but I really want to make sure of everything.

Actually I fucked up the Thrusters, so I had to reduce them back down to 14 CP and I'm back to 600m per turn.

So my bad. Everything else should check out though.
>>
>>1171951
At this point a combination of wanting to not just drop more work on you, not wanting to do all the work myself, the probability that I'm not going to be able to actually be here for the fights and that For Honor is going to eat up most of my free time keeps me from doing that. I'll probably have to wait and see though, I may feel autistic about it one day.

Lawbringer 4 lyfe
>>
>>1171939
So I see. Alright, doing the math since I calculate utilities away from the load out, 34 CP would be free for each one with a max weight of 7.5. Also means I can give the non Grand Cracker Guardian a slightly stronger Battle axe that does 10 kills total.
Man.. it may not be a quick beast with many weapon links, but the Flying Dutchman is a cheeky asshole. It can fly away further than you can reach it in 1 action, remove a dead limb, lighten up, then return the next round to drop kick you and then do another attack.
>>
>>1172049
Thats a shame... But okay, it will be a honor to have the opportunity to think of strategies for the Buddy.
Can we play eurobeat while he fights?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv13gl0a-FA
>>1172057
That is somewhat ironic... But thanks for the info, I will double check just to make sure, but I really don't expect to find much difference on this.

>>1172066
You know, I may end up buying for honor after so much talk I hear about it from everyone... Is it really this good?

I'm really starting to fear for my live outside of the PC...

I could probably shoot some suggestions of cannons on you if you want, and some other annons would probably enjoy helping too.
At least Dutch,Libra and Myrm seems to really like their guns.
>>
>>1172081
Yes, play all the Eurobeat you can.
>>
>>1172081
It was mostly my fault for not checking in the first place and assuming I had enough CP, when in reality I was just over 15.5 CP 'limit' for MA11.
>>
>>1172076
Hey, no double loadouts, its Grand Cracker or no-Grand Cracker on the guardian, you can't do 2 different types of Guardians man, that would be just a disguised extra loadout.
Well, thinking about it.... You already did that with the 2 grenade options for the guardian... So please change that.
I'm sorry, Wong was very clear about not letting us having a loadout for everything.

I got it for ps4 since being on PC is only good for me when I play RTS's, FPSs or I'm modding a game like Skyrim. Using a mouse and keyboard isn't huge for me to play the game like it is for an FPS.

But yeah, it's really, really good when the matchmaking works right and you play with people that are as good as you. Half the time I get dropped into a match where everyone's just better than me and I get my shit pushed in and the other half I get booted out because of an error. Parrying seems a bit too easy, but that might just be to add incentive to use feints. I'd wait a while to buy it if I were you.

I'd totally be up for anyone willing to give me ideas for the cannon/a loadout that I can plagiarize use to make my own.

32 CP. This is the full loadout it has now.

>(Head Mounted) Thunderclap Beta: WA 1, 10K, 1300 Meter Range, 5 Tons, 4 Spaces, 19 Space Efficiency, 32 CP (Base 22.5 CP)
>(Torso Mounted) Pavaise: 10 SP, 5 Tons, DA 0, 15 CP
>(Torso Mounted) x3 "Recurve" Missiles: 3 WA, 10 K, 550 Meter Range, 1 Ton, 6 Spaces, 6 CP
>>
after much consideration I have come to the conclusion that course correcting drill bits that are 3 times as expensive as the gun that shoots them are not an efficient use of CP.
Instead, I now have a bigger gun that shoots normal drill bits. And I'm 50 meters faster per turn.

>>1171519
I'm assuming that you are Marciananon, hre is my review on the M-Sagister

Frame:49CP and 22.5tons.
Armor:24CP and 12tons.

Options:15CP and 2tons.
So, 88CP and 36.5tons


Beam Gun 20.125CP and 0.5tons
Missiles: Range 550m* 6CP and 1ton.
Beam Wave: 4CP and 0.5tons

118.125CP and 38.5tons

132.125CP and 38.5tons

There is still one space vacant on your torso, you could fill it by reducing 0.5CP on space efficiency on your weapon or just buy a Torso Storage for 1CP.

About this last option, normally I reccomend it to everyone because you never know when it'll be usefull for something, but it may not fit with your character personality as she doesn't seem the type who worries about that sort of thing, as her mech seems more specced to combat situations than to real mook work... So she probably would be the type of people to be always followed by more normal mechs more able to do the most common parts of grunt work.

You need to check Blitz. I think he added both of his layouts to get his total.

uh I'm the guy behind the M-Sagister, been away for a bit, grandpa died this morning so i've been dealing with that, homework and making sure grandma doesn't follow him.

so essentially I have 1 cp I can use before the .05 metaform wing multiplier brings it up to 139.9 something.
i'll look though lists of 1 cp extra stuff then.
be back in a bit.

Heres the finalized M-Sagister
http://pastebin.com/sR0KhwEu
Holy shit everyone should have a damage control package it has a shitton of stuff in it.

ATM quote:
This is an option package for emergency situations, such as bailouts, forest fires, etc. Fire-retardant foam will put out fires up to four mecha-scaled hexes in size. Glue bombs will cover an area two mecha scaled hexes wide, sealing areas in space environments that may have been breached to vacuum. Flares can be seen up to 10 kilometers away. The liferaft holds four people and contains food, water and medical supplies for one week. The bubble raft is a space-going version of the liferaft, resembling a giant plastic bubble with mylar sunscreens at top and bottom; inflated from the inside, it holds four people and contains air, food, water and medical supplies for four days. All of these goodies are crammed into a package that takes up only 1 Space from your mecha"
>>
>>1172332
Frame:36CP and 15tons
Armor:27CP and 13.5tons

Options:14CP and 2tons.
So, 77CP 30.5tons

AMS: 3.5CP and 0.5tons.

Rifle: 26CP and 2.5tons

Shield: 7CP and 3.5tons.

Heat Estoc: 11CP and 3tons.

47.5CP and 9.5tons

So, 124.5CP and 40tons

15CP of Thursters.

139.5CP and 40tons.

You should get more 0.5CP from something and use it to reduce your weight.... I don't know from where though.

>>1172513
I'm sorry for your grandpa man... I lost both of mine already, I know how hard this can be for everyone involved.

>>1172519
Why don't you buy the storage? Is Damage control really usefull?

>>1172396
Pretty usefull for using in day-to-day maintenance jobs on space... And for a Tank it can be even more useful as it removes the necessity of the pilot to handle human scale stuff, so he will never be vulnerable in combat even if he has to disarm a mine or something, as he can do it from inside the safety of his tank.
It will also make your enemies mad if they try to pull a trap on you and see you using this to avoid it.
Also good for holding damsel in distress that you may be kidnaping.
>>
>>1172544
a suggestion for the Blitz: drop the turret/head size to super heavy and use the extra .05 cp you had to reduce the Thunderclap turret gun's spaces by 1
overall this will reduce your weight by 0.5 tons putting you in a lighter weight/MV tier and will give you 1 full cp to play with afterward.
I recommend 2 levels of resolution intensifiers (0.5 cp per level) so you can zoom in really far with your sensors or maybe 1 level of silent running for 1 cp
>>
>>1172544
remove one thruster, reduce MA to 450 meters, reduce weight to 39.5 tons

This should have been 'Garret remarked' and I have no clue how I fucked that up.
>>
>>1172668
Sudden brain fart. Happens to everyone. Not much can be done. So, what fights are you looking forward to in the tournament, or at least what mechs you are looking forward to see finally used?
>>
>>1172138
>>1172213
The base range of entangling weapons is 0, not one, so your range is 2(100m) for the Ball and chain.
So your new price should be 34.

MANLY:
You know... now that your new limit is 34... You could put a handle or something on the ROCK for 2.3CP and have it become a one handed weapon... I know, its crazy and useless... But you have enough CP for it, so who cares?

Guardian:
You can use 0.5CP to up the Grand Cracker to 19Kills and keep the 5 spaces.

>>1172606
>>1172619
Should be okay now... But there is still 0.5CP to go... Maybe you should tweak your AMS ammo and use it to make it "Tracer".

>>1172668
Huh, curious!

>>1172676
I'm not Wong, but I can safely say that I've spent so much time with all this mechs that any fight will bring joy to my heart.... I just want to see them in action at last.

It got to the point that I'm thinking on "If this was an anime, the Valkyrie would obviously be that powerfull rival that the protagonist fights in the end... Even Katherine motivation fits the theme!"
>>
>>1172710
Thats it for today, maybe I will do three more tomorrow(Gyrfalcon, Libra and Chimera) or I will take a break until Sunday....

>>1172668
Hey Wong, Do you have many unique mechs done for the tourney or are most of them just custom mooks? Will they be 140CP limit like ours are you planning and using some under 140CP and others over it?

Is there any recurring NPC that is going to participate on the Tourney?
>>
>>1172710
Always found that weird. In melee, Mechs don't occupy the same spot, they are in two separate hexes. To hit an enemy you must be able to get into the next hex so isn't it already 1 MA? Then I realized if I just drop it by 2 kills, I get the exact same result with returning. I'll do the other edits soon too.

Honestly, when I was talking a lot about making mecha of my own for the tournament it was before we had so many. Originally, one of them was going to be Shukriya's Misericorde, but she got to showcase it on Qu'lir instead. It's a fast jet with a beam sniper cannon, anyway, and much too expensive for the tourney.
>>
>>1172960
If you need some generic mechas to fill the holes in the initial stages of "round to let everyone showcase their own mechs" I can link some of the secondaries to you... Or you could just use some of the mainstream mooks with mods too.

You could also accept suggestions and let some of them in without telling us which... That should get you some exotic ideas for cannon folder and still keep the element of surprise.

And about the number... Yeah, 18 people is a big thing.... You would need at least 14 other mechas if you want it to be duels from the start to the end.

>>1172668
I also don't know how I missed the subtle joke of Fairchild being tired of a planet of pussies.
>>
>>1172960
Tournament bracket when Wong?
>>
>>1172984

It might be faster to just do the fights involving NPC mecha offscreen, and assume the thread mecha win their bouts against them. That would require a random roll to see who gets a free pass to the top 16 though.


Also, quick question for a non-tournament mech, EMW's have only 2 kills of structure, right? All the ones i can remember from the quest have been, and all the ones in the core rulebook seem to be, but i cannot find the rule anywhere. Am i nuts or am i missing something?
>>
>>1173288
Structure kills are 1/4 the kill value of the weapon.
>>
Update:

Rules:
>No Reactive Shields
>No Space Efficiency on Thursters.
>MV limit is -2(Minimum).
>Weight reduction only reduces MV, the weight continues the same for dropkicks and running speed.
>Ammo weight is abolished.
>Only level 1 verniers are allowed.
>Beta Armor only allowed to Avalonians and maybe Kestrels.
>Completely bog-standard feet that do NOTHING take up no spaces and use corebook stats. Any awesome custom feet need to use spaces.

latest F-type with the last few modifactions
>>
>>1174171
Side note: but do we have a ruling on weather you can use links or quick in conjunction with the various feet maneuvers. Because I know we can't with hands, and that would be a nasty surprise for an anon.
>>
>>1174831
If you mean for the cassowary mech, I don't even know the special kick maneuvers.
essentially I just figured it as a basic melee attack with no modifiers beyond the servo mods
>>
>>1174893
ok looking at the kick maneuvers... how would a cassowary even do most of that shit? its legs are different from humanoid mech legs and I don't need the damage bonus from such maneuvers either... I suppose I could just count the kicks as melee weapon attacks since I had to stat the talons a melee weapons that took up leg space.
>>
>>1174941
A bird could do all of those kicks except maybe the spinning kick, even then it would depend on what sort of spinning kick it was.
>>
>>1174171
So even though all these mechs are limited to a set number of points some of them are still considered OP, I feel a little out of depth.

Don't get me wrong I don't care if I lose even in the first round but if it's a one shot one kill loss that's just insulting.
>>
>>1174984
I suppose, but I don't really need it since i'm doing 10K quick linked attacks already (4 hits in 2 attacks per action if i'm reading the rules right), adding an extra 2K to 6K on top of that would just be silly.
>>
>>1175028
Nothing wrong with a bit of silliness every now and then. Though they do seem very inaccurate.
>>
>>1175051
true the special kicks would be fun but i'd feel bad using them in a tournament since it makes oneshotting someone guaranteed if they hit 4 times... plus the wheel kick is only -1 WA and it adds 3K and aims directly for the torso

I suppose if I could use the kicks but doing so removes the link and quick modifier for that attack?
ah we'll just have to ask wong at some point.
>>
>>1175024
Just from memory:
Lightning and Huskarl have super-Two-handed-magical-blades that causes 2hits Kill and do 4 attacks per turn.
Gyrfalcon, Za Walkure and Pharcyde can one shot people if they roll well on a missile spam... But it would also consume their main metod of attack and leave them vulnerable after this.

Katherine have a 3 layer defense metod on her Valkyrie, first there is the ilusions, then there is her dodge roll and then the active shield, she also have a 12K(Final damage) that attacks four times per turn, which is OHK for the more vulnerable mechs of the tourney and 2HK for the rest if they don't parry.

The M-Sagister do the same amount of damage as the Kaiser and hits at the same speed, it is also one of the fastest mecha of the tourney and you just can't run from it.

An thats why people go autistic trying to counter them.
>>
Alright, after getting home, a short nap and getting scummed in For Honor, I did exactly what I was afraid I would do and essentially completely redid the Blitz (wish I had known Fragile was so good from the start.) Anyway.

>>1172774
Thanks for doing that for me. They were all about 2 CP too expensive, but they gave me some good ideas. I started with the 2 cannon loadout. I think next I'm going to do the armor loadout.

>>1174171
I'll totally understand if you don't want to go over it, but here's the new (and improved) Blitz.
http://pastebin.com/1UM8a7SM

>>1175085
If I understand the rules right, since your talons are clumsy and leg mounted, they can ONLY do kick attacks. The tradeoff is that they're less accurate than non kick attacks.
>>
>>1175085
You are here to wreck face and show off your robot, if it one hit kills people that means you are doing a good job.
>>
>>1175100
It goes dodge, shadows, shield actually. And its an 8k EMW. Also has an antimissile variant for when she goes up against missle spammers.
>>
>>1175108
wait... the M-Sagister's an Avian mecha beast are there rules different for mecha beast melee?
>>
>>1175161
A QUICK 8K EMW... so it ignores 4 of armor and hits twices per action at +1... You can kill most humanoid mechs of this tourney in one action if they don't parry.
And even if they do... Most will still get damage to their arms and lose them in 2 hits.

Seriously, Katherine is going to shine like a star on this tourney, and even if she don't win, she will give an epic fight for whoever manages to get through her.
>>
>>1175100
Well fuck it I ain't going to bother having variants of the Ulfberht made up just to counter folk, I'm here for the drinks, the girls and the experience and to fight for fun and the lady not win.

Loadout 3: Melee? On My Tank?

Loadout 3 Total (44 CP, 8 Tons)
Before Thrusters (111 CP, 37.5 Tons)
Thrusters: 17 Spaces/CP, 600 Meter Hover (12 MA), 3 in Head, 14 in Torso

Melee weapons are pretty fun, aren't they? Also, this thread's about to fall off the board. If you are going to go over the new Blitz, you'll have to use that earlier link.
>>
>>1175240
Wow, I misspelled Violator. How?
>>
>>1175224
yeah I just remember seeing something about special attack rules for meachbeasts... i'm probably thinking about bite rules though, we'll just have to ask how wong wants to handle it.
If i'd known making a kicking bird would require so many referee rulings to be ok i'd have gone for something else.
>>
>>1175209
I think the get a free bite attack but thats the only difference.
>>1175240
>Melee? On My Tank?
Not as crazy as you'd think. This is where I would put in an image of a tank with a minesweeper but apparently we reached the image limit.
>>
>>1175240
Loadout 3: Melee? On My Tank?
(Head Mounted) x2 Cross-Linked Lawbringers (stats show 1 weapon): WA 0, 9K, Quick, AP, 4.5 Tons, 4 Spaces, 14 Space Efficiency, 25 CP (Base 18 CP)
Loadout 3 Total (52 CP, 9 Tons)
Before Thrusters (119 CP, 38.5 Tons)
Thrusters: 16 Spaces/CP, 550 Meter Hover (11 MA), 2 in Head, 14 in Torso

This is actually ridiculous.
>>
>>1175218
I dunno, I think I have a pretty good chance to beat the Valkyrie.
>>
>>1175327
Yeah, low servo designs are kinda overpowered at this play range.
>>
>>1175352
No, the weapon just does so much damage. Melee at this play range is really powerful (dunno if it's OP.)

I stand no chance against against any melee mech since I have 6 different servos I could hit on any attack, and they have 2. One of which holds my weapons and they either one or two shot. The Valkyrie is basically invincible for me with its active shield, and that's even if I get past its shadows before it rips my asshole apart.
>>
>>1175395
You have the tank with 13 SP right? The Valkyrie will do 8 -(13-4) = 0 kills on its first attack, 0 kills on its second, and 1 kill more on each successive attack. It takes 9 hits for the Valkyrie to dig past the Blitz's armor.
>>
>>1175464
You also got a good number of missiles and the like. The Valkyrie is strong, but it relies on it's defenses. Using weapons that eat at them like blast, aoe, or a ton of small hits, will hurt it, and her only defense for them is either her shield or anti-missile beam gun.
>>
>>1175329
That depends if Wong allows Katherine to reload her shadows with smoke missiles.... Your shield can only fully protect you from one attack and the Beam Axe would be at -3 when trying to block her attack.

But in your favor you have the vulcans and your high damage axe.

You guys almost make me want to change my hands for EMW hands too...
>>
>>1175464
The Valkyrie's weapon is quick, isn't it? So it should take 5 actions to destroy my reliable means of attack (and she would be at +2 or 3 compared to me.)

It think it would take me 5 actions to destroy her with the joke melee loadout since the shield is torso mounted, but I would be at -2 or 3 for everything. I would get a parry, but would still have to go trough her dodge and imager.

The other two loadouts are worse, if I'm right it would take me 6 hits with either to destroy her (that is assuming cross linked weapon attacks happen one after another instead of concurrently) and I wouldn't get a parry.

God this shit is confusing to do in your head. I'm just going to do it on paper next time.

>>1175555
>projectile weapons
I'm so triggered right now, but the quads. And I suppose I SHOULD make a tank that explodes things.

>ITT: Everyone unites against the Kat-menace.

KEK

Could you try to explain me about why people would be paranoid with EMW and Shadow imagers in game if they don't know about the Valkyrie yet?

Well... To be fair we can assume that they WILL get paranoid after she starts screwing everyone on the group battles, and that people would try to come up with something against her...

Man, this is just hilarious.

>tfw MSPQ has become a real tournament anime with all the bullshit shenanigans associated to it.
