So, we'd need a hacker, to circumvent the AI security, if it is indeed a simple AI, we'd need the location of the graviton drive, and I think we can kill the engineers with our assassin. So if someone were to be a hacker (*cough cough* Me *cough cough*) we should be able to pull it off okay, though the graviton drive would be a priority. Also, with MIMIC we could have our assassin move around as one of the engineers.

Hmmm, though I see our assassin doesn't have mimic...

@Ryougu Certainly an idea. It would probably be easiest to just find a console and steal the data when it uploads to the network, fooling it into thinking it's going where its supposed to, whereas, in reality, it goes straight to the ENDGAME. The engineers likely won't be able to fight off even an noncombat-oriented thief. The main issue would just be if the patrolling marines are on that side of the ship when we infiltrate.

Only the dice will determine that.

@GuntherOh, bear in mind, of course, the penetrative capability of the .338 is outdone by the .50 BMG and the Cheytac .480 . .338 Lapua, I believe is more anti-personnel than anti-material, right?

I'm not looking for an Anti-Material Rifle caliber weapon such as the .50 BMG or even the .480. All I need is an anti-personnel weapon. The current adaptations of the .338 Lapua are as follows:

Barrett Model 98B bolt action rifle with a 10-round magazine
Savage 110 BA bolt action rifle with 5-round magazine
FNH Ballista bolt action rifle with 8-round magazine
Armalite AR-30A1 bolt action rifle with 5-round magazine

Bolt action rifles are much more accurate than gas operated versions. This discussion is more pedantic/edifying than productive. She will not carry this rifle on any raids where she needs to infiltrate stealthily into a ship such as our current operation. If a future op calls for support fire she would have it available. But sword, dagger or an SMG as back up would be sufficient for the current op. Unless, yes of course she is to fill a ranged role in support.

@Ryougu don't take on too many roles. Allow others to fill those needed positions. I intentionally did not take mimic for this reason. There are other classes best suited for that role.

@Gunther
Actually, I had him pitched a versatility build already. Also, I don't think many sets are as suited to Mimic as assassins.

@GuntherOh, I was just clarifying. It's also quite plausible for our assassin to enter through the garbage chute, take out the two engineers quietly, then have @Ryougu disguise himself as one of the engineers, run to the corridor, and lead the marines to the cargo bay, where, if we time it just right, our entering mech could shoot them all out into space upon decompression as it tears through the airlock. Our thief could then hack the data while it uploads, and we've taken out a significant force with no issue, while our assassin deactivates life support.

@GuntherAlso, a weapon like her rifle could be a seriously lethal hazard if she held down the long, straight central corridor from a hidden position. Unless, of course, she chooses to leave it behind.

I don't have Mimic though, and I believe we have no thief yet.

Although I would've liked IDENTIFY

@Ryougu We don't need a mimic. There's always the old fashioned "don't get seen" method.

Moving around freely would help, though, but yeah, I've got a semi-decent plan.

Replace your equipment list with:
Smith & Wesson Mk 6 "War Machine" Combat EVA
Lord Byron & Co. Abaddon AutoMAG Pistol
Beretta Arms and Armor "Puma-Lite" Displacement Sword
Custom CrowBlade, (Combo Crowbar/Sword)
Custom Utility Belt

Other than that, you're all set. I like the backstory, particularly because he came from such a humble background.

@Jerkchicken@Infamous Empath OOC is here.

@Gunther@Ryougu@LordofthePies, go ahead and throw your Character Sheets in the Character section. You're all set, if you've got the equipment updated.

You still around? And do you have discord by chance? I'd like to believe it makes communicating a bit faster.

so this is the second or third RP that I feel like, even though I'm interested in playing out the story, i would not be qualified to play just because of the sheer amount of technical stuff

@Infamous Empath Not sure what you mean, but if you're interested, you could easily play a character with no technical background. I want this to be fun, and again, the numbers have no bearing on gameplay. Those are for me.
