That seems a bit small for an NC. Since a medium sized NC is 10 to 15 meters, and weaponry unleashed has blast redius in the hundreds of square feet, Rose would get blasted to smithereens from a random rocket volley, and being so melee centric it severely limits the force she can bring to bear with weaponry scaled for a 9ft tall NC. You may say that Rose would target structural weak points, but that still leaves her in a suit of armor that will be scrapped from even a grazing blow from another NC.

Yes. That's what the Primary Feature is for though. Keeping it alive. And I didn't know there were scalings, so I guess it's about 17 foot tall. Still, it's not bulky, it's not well armoured, and it is very fast. Think, Lancelot from Code Geass, rather than Gurren Lagann from, well, Gurren Lagann.

what will you do about homing projectiles? I mean, as Jan has demonstrated in the previous thread, you can evade thise with sheer grit, but from what I can read of your NC, a single homing swarm missile would scrap you with a good hit.

There are a lot of questions of the same type. I guess when I make the Primary Feature evident, it will anwser all of them.

Gowi, is hard light/ energy/ plasma shielding a thing in this universe?

Aye, we have smart darlings here.

I do remember seeing an NC with something like that, which is where I got the idea.

Gowi, is hard light/ energy/ plasma shielding a thing in this universe?

Been a thing since before this reboot launched. But I will state prematurely we already have a lot of NC’s with melee combat as their focus, so theoretically adding another seems rather excessive and needless.

Spartans had a lot of melee combatants, and they did well.

That’s not an argument nor is it a valid counterpoint. Think my answer is no.

It wasn't meant to be either.

Kaban, if you don't mind of course, maybe take some time to reevaluate your character's combat preference? A mid range platform would be dandy, or a demolitions.

Sniper or utility work too

I could probably change about the history, do some dos, and get a girl with a massive Railgun for pin-point sniper action, to pick off targets precisely, along with Spyder's LRFS systems.

@Gowi
Just requesting permission for amending the Spyder NC. I found a better picture for both what I want as Bipedal and Quad design, and rewrote some details on the transformation as well as some weaponry stuff. Changes were really bought on by the confusion on how the secondary set of 'legs' would work, and the answer is that they reflect Tahlia's arms.
- Gatling Cannons moved from Chest to Arms (Now unavailable in Quad mode)
- Armageddon Rain name changed to Meteor Ordinance Cannon (Mainly cause I believe Armageddon Rain would work terribly grammar wise in a sentence)
- Clarified details on the MIRV


All in all it's the same NC, just written a bit cleaner.

EDIT: For Record, Spyder would be a Large(?) NC

So, to avoid mistakes a second time, does this rp have any aerial recon/ordinence support NCs?

Sustained flight would use a lot of power/heat, but it is possible yes. I believe we have a few NCs with flight capabilities.

I was thinking more of a 'Long Glide' system than actual flight. But still, good to know.

Alright, will make another post, is anything big pending or is this more introspection and training time?

Was anyone else hoping Ann and Vera would take up Yashua and Alexander's NCs?

It's after lunch on the 9th day now, so pilots have free range of facilities and it is their responsibility to keep themselves busy or socialize.

For the last few days between breakfast and lunch, Rebecca Marek has been been your drill sergeant and has been physical driving you through obstacle courses and personal fitness regimens.

0730 / 7:30 AM - NC Physical Training Call
1130 / 11:30 AM - NC Physical Training Dismissal

NCPT serves as a roughly four hour course of physical training with Rebecca Marek commanding and supervising. This includes fundamental introductions and regimens of physical fitness that begins to prepare pilots for the mandatory obstacle course, shooting course, and “Graham’s Ultimatum” exams. A lot of running, working, climbing, shooting, and training.

Nena's NC. I'll edit the history around it if it gets accepted.

Codename: Spooky
Appearance
Body & Type Spooky is pretty light for a humanoid NC, armoured well enough to take a few shots, but not one to stand in the middle of a firefight and laugh, due to the fact that it has heavy ordinence, and needed to skimp somewhere to be able to actually glide. It can do ground combat decently with it's Kururugi Multi-gun, but it's main skill lies in the air, like a bird. Quite literally, as it can fire up Hardlight Wings to allow it the ability to glide long distances with ease. The only problem lies in the power consuption, which can make the NC run dry if not watched. While posessing enough firepower to be pretty dangerous in itself, it's main goal is recon and target designation
Equipment & Armaments:

Main Gun: Kururugi Multi-gun
An interesting weapon for an interesting NC, the Multi-gun is a trio of 15mm artilery cannons installed on a rotating axis around a 120mm cannon, allowing for rapid fire, bringing decent mid-range shots to the fray, but allowing for strong area coverage from the air. The 120mm cannon rarely sees action on the ground due to Spooky's lack of proper ground-based artiliery design, so it is near-exclusively an airal weapon.

Hardlight generator 'Gabriel':
Wings of light allowing for sustained gliding at the cost of considerable energy drain, they make Spooky a highly versitle NC in the air, with manouverability and flight-time unmatched by regular thrusters. It can also be used to generate a Hardlight shield for the NC, but this is a rare occurance and only used when the skys are to unfriendly, or there is no way to fly - inside a building or underground.

Auxiliery power battery - 'Anti-Pancake'
Humorously named due to it's most common useage, the Anti-Pancake is a backup feature in case of damage to the Gabriel system while in flight. This system grants enough power to allow for a measured landing, rather than a crash landing. It does not have enough power to allow for sustained flight however, as Gabriel can drain the entire battery in around thirty seconds.

Augmented Retro-Thrusters:
Spooky has several thursters about it's person to assist in primary take off and emergency in-flight changes, mostly evasive action, but occasionally used to increase Spooky's speed to hunt down a fleeing target, something it does pretty well since there is no terrain in the air.
