Keeping a watch on this.

Did someone say giant robots?

That the GM did!

Lots of people so far too.

I'm going to be tinkering the lore a little.

Would you all be fine with a GMPC? Mainly would serve as a squad leader and would not be a magic "get out of jail free card" if a situation goes FUBAR

Perfectly fine by me too.

Looks chill, gonna sub and see if I can hop in sometime.

Will keep an eye on this, will read up more on the lore in a bit.

My interest is still here, btw. Just been busy these past few days

I'm always looking for some Giant Fighting Robot action, so please message me if you still have the space.

Sounds fine.

This just gets better and better!

I'd like to show my interest on this. Got some character and mecha ideas in mind.

There's enough space for everyone. I'm finishing up lore drafts today and pushing the changes. I'm going to be retooling my charsheet before I drop the roleplay thread. Another question, do you want me to post the charsheets of enemy mecha or do you want to be surprised?

@Senhara
Thanks for clearing that up about transforming mechs. Another question, would a Mechwarrior style slow moving mech with heavy cannons and artillery be approriate for this rp? Or would that focus be on faster, more mobile mechs?

As for enemy character sheets I would say keep them a mystery until we encounter in-game. Perhaps after we deal with them you post their sheet, sort of like the characters analyzed the battle data.

@Senhara Both? Like we know some of them, but not so much for others or maybe the specs are wrong because of a refit or something? I guess you could call it option 3. Make the characters think they know what they're doing and then surprise them anyway.

I like the idea Cultural has going here really. That it all boils down to information not being quite right you know? Or information is out of date.

@Gigan you would be quite simply fucked. Think more like a mix between Armored Core Verdict Day/For Answer, right between those.

@Cultural Titan and @BigPapaBelial, that sounds good. Generic frame information is there, but specific details are not there

@Gigan If you haven't played any of the Armored Core games Gigan, those heavy Mechwarrior/Battletech mechs which are clunky and slow, would have an Armored Core NEXT boost circles around them faster then they could fire their weapons.

It'd be funny to see, but so sad afterwards.

Senhara said awhile ago that this RP is based around the AC idea of quick, fast moving NEXTs/Frames. A poor Battletech mech would be little more then fodder. Something a nation or a faction would put in front of them to potentially slow down a Frame for a brief amount of time.

AC based Frames would be slimmed down, light, flight capable mechs. Have maybe between 3 and 6 weapons tops. Sure there are heavier quadrepedal Frames, but they are still pretty darn fast. Quad Frames would be artillery and super heavy weapon Frames I imagine. That's how they were in Armored Core. The light bipedal Frames would carry shoulder mounted grenade launchers or light cannons. And light rocket launchers and tank grade assault rifle like weapons in their hands.

I apologize if it sounds like I'm giving a lecture or something like that. There is a huge difference between the Armored Core, Battle Tech and even the Gundam Franchises. So there has to be some explanation here.
