Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

a few quick and dirty suggestions for what some perks could do as bonus benefits:

missiles: Clustered fire
+ 1 missile hit per rank.

Energy weapons: Effecient cycling
+1 heat per rank on target.
and/or: Thermal Focus
reduce total cost of firing all energy wepaons by 1 per rank
clarification: this means firing 1 ML would be at +2 heat with 1 rank, but firing 2 ML's would still be 5 heat, not 4 and so on, it subtracts from the total heat of energy fire, not every single weapons.
since it is at doubel cost i only feel it would be fair to hold both bonusses ;)

Projectiles: Unbalancing impact.
a penalty of 1 per rank on targets piloting checks for 1 full turn (ie: any checks caused by weapons fire or heat, and any checks during the next movement phase)

Initiative: Tactical prediction.
Even when you lose initiative you're not entirely outmanouvered.
Once per battle per rank, you may reposition yourself by X (decided by kitten, I'd suggest 3) after all movement is done, this move must be within your original movement range.

Trigger Happy: effecient storage
Your ammunitions compartments are designed to hold 1 extra salvo of ammo per rank.

Armor repair perk: Toughened Shell.
You reduce the total incoming damage per turn by 1 per rating in this perk, since your armor is made of slightly denser alloys.

-

Just a bunch of suggestions :)

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

Well it's not just 'the perk', it's the godly skill of having a TN of 1+ and 0+, that should be really cool, because if youre that focused, it means you've capped the ability and the perk.  Some neat suggestions there, i want to make it 'cool' but not over powered, it'll be infrequent enough that i dont think i need hard and fast rules for it just yet.

Decided not to maker her dispossed.  There was the issue of making her infantry with no money, or making her mechwarrior with scads, and i decided i didnt want to be a noble (couldnt afford the perk), so i'm going for a Lyran from the prestigeous school of Skye.

No considered 'bright enough' to join the Skye Rangers, rather than join a house guard unit, 'Halo' has decided to take her commando out with her on the road to prove her worth as a Merc.  (scads of money, what you guys dont get in auction she will, to be fair about auctions, her bids will be 'open' so you'll know what you need to beat)

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

No SRM for sure but she could pack a spare LAW for a single shot upset when she ejects.  At 4kg for something that may be able to finish off a vehicle or mech that just hammered you away or to hold on to till you're in a good position to use it isn't too bad.

Also...

If you don't put any points into Mental she'll have a 8+ base not 7 ;)

Still fun looker you get there

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

In reply to 2nd Lt. Crispin McAlister (msg #157):

Yes, typo.  I really did consider giving her a one in mental so she wouldnt be a total dullard, but then i decided it might be fun to RP a total ditz.  When i start looking at swapping over to a mech with LRM's, i'll give mental a harder look for indirect weapon fire, but for simple SRM's she wont need the stat.

She's not going to be commanding a lance (or you guys better hope she's not.) nor fixing her mech or planting explosives so it's good i think.

Guess i'll wait to see if we have a couple of more players to muster into the unit.

Dont forget, mechwarriors are only trained in small arms, so 'heavy' stuff like support weapons and the like, would be at a penalty of -2 for her to use, unless she was cross trained for infantry.

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

Except her 2 ranks in missiles would effectively negate that penalty.  She wouldn't be the missile meistro with that LAW but she still could hit a target and not limit herself to the broadside of an unmoving huge red barn.

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

maybe, but having a law in your cockpit, has to be some sort of safty violation?

then again, she probably got an 'F' in that class so that might be a good excuse, but the one shot aspect worries me.  The pulse laser pistol is a better long term weapon.

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

Most definitely it's a good weapon and a solid backup that when Wu finally gets that phys down and some cred he may look at it to supplent the auto-pistol he has so that he can share power packs between weapons if needed.

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

Pegasus 411, is a modified Pegasus Scout Hover Tank.

The game was originaly named after the tank, and was suppose to be a player crew in the tank, but that didnt work out well, so it became a more traditional mech based game.

The tank is still part of the unit though.  Nate saw the split of units, and decided that the Command lance was going to need help, and put a call in to have Pegasus 411, diverted from patrol to come help at Echo POint.

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

O.o

I originally thought it was going to take 2~3 weeks to resolve everything, with the smart money on Command lance finishing first.

Now... it looks closer to 10~14 days, with the command lance finishing last.

I'm told Thantos is moving in real life so he's offline for a bit.  Good time to try and recruit some more players i guess.  Going to bump the players wanted request.  If you know anyone that might be interested in the game, send them my way.

...and the Fire/Support lance would have went longer if Crispin didnt turn the Raven into a fission bomb.

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

Waiting for Amos to post his weapon fires, though i might just move the turn along since Crispins move sort of trumps most activity in the last turn.

Not in a nuclear sort of way, at least no on purpose.

Re: Out of character - Not Game Related

Okay... Fire/Support Lance... sorta resolved, in an explosive fashion.

Bravo's sort of in a similiar boat, which leaves Command to resolve.

New Auctions are up.

You can put bids in, but it wont be resolving till after Command Lance's Battle is resolved.

If... Lances want to make a private message thread to discuss tactics/strategy, please do, and i promise not to look at the thread, at least while the mission is active.  (Curiosity might have me take a peek after the mission is over)
