/edit Fucking double posts...

Philosophy and morality aside, my point was that there's a stark difference between the continual conciousness of the download method versus serial reincarnation in the clone method, one that would have a huge effect on the morale of the troops.
And well... isn't that the entire point of the game..? Trying to humanise the concept too much for an RP will kill it stone dead. Getting too heavy on the details is what fucks a soldier's mind up; unless we're going for a PTSD themed RP, its kind of a moot point.

War is hell, so...

I would rather have a system that reinforces the don't-die-it-ain't-good rather than a if-you-die-you'll-be-fine system.

Plus the consciousness-upload would be useful for the military. If an agent or a soldier goes rogue, an elite soldier, then all you have to do is kill him, upload his non-rogue save, and keep him away from the things that made him go rogue. You still have your agent.

Wow, I'm gone for hours and you get chatty xD. you both have a point. I think the first system Wilson mentioned would be perfect. Only being able to rebirth 8-9 times safely would work, and it would mean we could focus more on the fighting than having our friends having to get transported to the fight if it hasn't ended.

(hope this is good)

Having some tech difficulties in the document depart, I can't find my saved IC post.

FIRST POST IS UP!

Is the first post being new recruits setting out to a combat zone, or to the bordering Terran safe zone?

It's the team meeting up, and then moving out to their mission objectives. A.K.A. bridge time.

I posted.

OK, now ve vait!

I love how they named it the Mosquito. it's as annoying as it's real life counterpart xD. buzzing around, avoiding everything you swing at it. then it comes back and gives you a NASTY bite!

and posted

3 down!

Can I make an edit to the loadout?

Like, for anyone? Not just the regular Nanite and faction-specific stuff, but, say, private company weapons?

Been busy but I'll try to make a post.
