Okay.

Mariana, you still want the t bolt?

Players should be aware mission is not expected to last past ten turns.

I think I will change my starting target to the Jenner, if there is still fight left in them after I break that perhaps I will move on to something else but I want to start by taking out something that will be difficult for others to deal with and dangerous to ignore.

So noted, a request has been made to change weapon loads.

I will allow this.  YOu have till the end of the weekend to state such intentions.

(I will be away camping so earlier is meaningless.)

You may use any of the remaining weapons to change your load to your liking, as long as you stay under you bid.

Post such changes on the Bid thread, so that your fellow mechwarriors can see if something they want becomes available.

Because several players have requested it, specialty ammo has been added to the available equipment list, along with cost.

To level the playing field for energy using pilots, the cost for single strength heat sinks have been reduced from 1 honor, to 0.5 honor.  So if you're short on honor, but long on available space and weight, you have a cheap honor option to fill it with.

You SHOULD NOT edit your old bids, those should be left alone as a record for other players to see (when the thread is closed other players can see your original bids).  These numbers SHOULD NOT change.

If you're editing your weapon load you should do it with an additional thread request.

Xue, will let the math stand, because that's the way it started.

All players should note (to keep math simple), that after mission one, the character Honor adjustment will modify the bids, not the equipment.


So if a player bids 50 honor, and has a character mod, it will be a simple adjustment.

Xue has a -05% handicap.  So a 50 Honor bid by her would be calculated as 50 x 1.05 = 52.5

Mariana has a +15% handicap.  So a 50 Honor bid by her would be calculated as 50 x 0.85 = 42.5

It makes my life easier to have a flat honor cap, and to review the equipment at base value, to make sure everything is correct.

There are various items in the equipment list that use fractional honor cost, so you have options to spend such fractions.

xue, copy pasted your request to be separate from your original bid... again, do NOT edit your original bids.

I see SRMs and LRMs in the bid, but i see ER PPCs being laid out in the POD space.

something quirky on the request, so please fix it.

Xue's taking the Whitworth.

Mariana is taking the Jenner.

Gunnar you have a declaration to make?

If so make it.  If you can make it before i leave to camp, i will post the IS mechs on the mission thread to let you mull over for final weapon loads.

(Pokes Cassiadora and Reyvak)

You two still with me?

Mission should start some time next week, and i want to make sure you two are still good to play.

Fixed...

SRM Frag has an honor cost btw.

You have .9 honor left though, and for SRM2s you should be able to have enough honor left to pick up ammo to carry you through the mission.

No honor cost for standard ammo, so you have 2 tons of the stuff, and will explode before you use all the ammo up is my guess.

If you give me an honor cost ill incorporate it.

As for blowing up Clan mechs all have CASE in every area naturally.  An arm might blow up but it'll keep running.  Same with the torso cause it doesn't have an XL engine.

I guess with that list, I'll take the Commando.

So noted.

I'm here :). Confused, but here! :)

Yup I'm good. Sounds like I'm not included in the work to this point, but I'm here watching.

In reply to Reyvak (msg # 725):

You're not part of the clans force, but you can participate by joining me with the Op Force.

Yeah i've been swamped recently.  When the game starts I plan on being a bit more pro active about teaching you the game.

sounds good.

I'm giving Cassiadora the Archer.

You can have a choice of what's left.

If you like heavies you're looking at a choice between the Maurader and T-bolt.

Lets do the Marauder

So noted, camping ended early cause of rain yesterday, though i'm up to my neck in clean up.

Still i should have time to start getting stuff out.

Op Force will be posted today, and then i will start finalizing Clan paper work.

we start... soon, sometime early this week is my best estimate, tomorrow if i'm being super optimistic.

Bad paperwork will be fixed to the closest of the original intent.

Are you going to play a Free birth Mechwarrior?

If so you may be a captured IS bondsman at this time.

If you're making a trueborn, you'll obviously have no IS ties.

This is for RP fluff more than actual stats.

Op Force Posted.

Will finalize Clan units, and generate map later tonight is the plan.

You must have been camping somewhere strange, I have never seen rain cut short a camping trip.  Was it a place prone to flooding?
