Still here. Though I should be more active.

Also, at some point, I was thinking Mai starts showing signs of...well perhaps "distrust" when rumors spread that Mai's first commander/scientist, Caulder, was trying to rebuild the Helldivers division dispite high command warning him not to. Eh, just shooting an idea since I don't say much here.

Rumors where? I don't get the feeling her squad would be talking about it, or even find out for that matter.

The idea does sound intriguing, so I would like to know why that would be the case.

That's just it. I don't...not yet anyways. I haven't really planned this out but the short version is that while Mai and the other six pilots of the Helldivers were transfered all over the place to keep them seperated, Caulder himself was never found when soldiers went looking for him after the Helldivers were decommissioned.

This sort of turns into an internal struggle with Mai and "Seven" since Mai does like Squad Sigma but Seven perfered how "professional" the Helldivers were. It was just a plot device or "side quest" I had thought about pitching to you guys since Mai...well...has alot of baggage in terms of her "classified" history. From the Helldivers to her Ace mother to the Telekenetic system...

@DarkRecon
The internal struggle side sounds good, especially if Seven starts to split apart from Mai.


In other news, here's a sneak peek of my progress on the new map:



I've been thinking if I should keep the map as a single 10x10 map like with the colonies, or split it into a single larger map composed of multiple 10x10 sub-maps. Let me know what you guys think.

I suspect that multiple 10x10s might get confusing. If 10x10 isn't large enough to do the deed, then make a single larger map. Unless you intend this to be a multi-front attack, or at least have the option of such.

Gonna have to agree on the multiple maps possibly getting confusing.

I can think of a way to not make it confusing. I'll show you when I get home.

Ofc all the maps would be named and maybe not structured like this, but it's just to convey an idea of how a larger map made of small 10x10's could work and not be confusing.

Yes that's my photoshop window in the top-right. Also, I didn't really make the gate icon transparent but unless Ariamis wants me to make the maps, I don't need to.

Sure, but how do north and east interact if I am trying to go from one to the other? Do I need to travel into center to be able to jump over, or does north j1 connect to east j1, as if it were a folded cube, for example?

I mean, I dig it either way, I am a big fan of over complicating things, personally. As you may recall, I asked about moving on a third axis previously because we are now in space, which would make things very confusing and overly complicated, we'll just have 10million clarification questions about movement again and then we'll be back up and running.

You could just place a gate in between to signify the area is just an extension, or zero out some squares to show you can't go there. Maybe there's a narrow path of only two squares somewhere, so all other squares on that row would be black. If you're trying to go diagonal, you could either place a gate icon in between to show that that area's connected or you can not do it to show it's not. Pretty simple as long as you give enough visual feedback.

It's not that hard in all honesty.

Majority voted on simple maps so we'll be going with them.

Alright, time for a new fight, and a new map:


You have to specify the starting location for your Framewerk, available from the grey spaces as long as it doesn't overlap with someone else.
You can perform your first turn from the spot chosen. Infiltration units won't be placed on the map, but are instead placed in a different encounter.

EDIT: Squads of three CWMs are now marked by the bullet icons. Added a Glossary section to OP.

You might want a glossary. To show what icons are what and all.

I'll volunteer for infiltration with Serah. Makes sense for a mobile, melee unit like Serah, and the melee front is covered by Black Star anyway. Devors will stay in the main offense team. Square to be decided, but most likely it'll be on the front row because he needs to fly up close.
