[OOC] Σωτήρ: the Solar Age (Mecha) - Still Accepting

[Letter Bee]

@Letter Bee

Use The Persian as cover. Slip out, take pot shots, then retreat behind the Sword Shroud for cover.

@Onarax

Cool; gives Henry time to fratrenize with bishies.

[Silvan Haven]

High speed attacks that allow you to hit an enemy for lots of damage before zooming back out again. Never stay in one area for any length of time and use your momentum to your advantage.

[Crimmy]

Made profiles for all members of Lumen Team, although 1, 2 and 4 are a lot more minimal compared to 3's.

Also created the OSDT variant of the standard Rook, as well as the M5-改.

[Letter Bee]

Bad tactics from me again.

[Onarax]

@Letter Bee

Come now young man. That's half the fun. Where's the danger and adventure if everything is easy.

Does this look like one of those brooding strategy shows to you?

THIS IS A TRUE MAN'S QUEST INTO SPACE!

[Crimmy]

@Onarax Like Nadesico.

[Letter Bee]

@Onarax

Brooding strategy show?

@Crimmy

Didn't Nadesico turn dark in the sequels?

[Crimmy]

Prince of Darkness was just ... really weird in general.

Black Selena was a fun design, though.

Bit of advice in addition to my cavalry metaphor.

First of all, avoid charging into a large group of enemies on your own. It would take a very large gap in capabilities to avoid being swarmed and taken down by pure numbers. In this case even if you were always able to take down the Rook in front of you, there are still five other directions that you would receive attacks from.

Secondly, rather than charging directly into the mob you should instead hit the edges. That way you give the enemy much less of a chance to swarm you.

Third thing, when performing fast strikes against a larger force you never engage more than one, maaaaybe two foes before zooming back out again. And they don't need to be kills, the important thing is escaping and avoiding being swarmed by the main group.

Please keep in mind that these are not criticisms of you. I am trying to help you learn and get better at combat.

@Silvan Haven

Don't worry, I blame myself.

[Silvan Haven]

I was not worried about you blaming me, I just want to make it so that there is less blame to go around.

@Letter Bee

[Letter Bee]

Will wait for @Silvan Haven to post.

[Letter Bee]

@Crimmy, sorry about this, but can you put Henry into a coma or kill him off? I'm starting an RP on another site, and thus have to leave one of my RPs on RPGuild. Plus, it's not as if Henry's contributing much to the story anyway.

I know, I know, bad reasons.

[Crimmy]

@Letter Bee I have plans that will involve Henry. He's contributed as much to the story as anyone else has.

AKA, a decent chunk because the story has barely started.

@Crimmy

Thanks; I'll drop another RP on another site, then, or just not run the RP I planned to run.

Model: OS Type 2 "Rook" (??? Specification)

Specialty: Mass Production General Purpose Skirmisher HFV

History: ???

Appearance: At a height of 18.5m, the ???'s space variant of the standard OS Type 2 is slightly taller and bulkier, but still remains faithful to the 'walking tank' aesthetic of the United States' mainstay HFV. It is definitely more heavily armoured than the original Rook, but despite the fact it is actually incredibly mobile, possessing a number of multi-directional thrusters across its body, as well as four powerful accelerators on its legs, allowing it to match modern machines quite easily at the cost of greater power consumption. It retains the two large shoulder shields (now increased in size), although they are more rounded in comparison to those of the original. Certain models also possess extra weapon hardpoints on their forearms.

Features:

• Long range sensors
• Detachable shoulder shield (x2)
• Beam-treated heavy armour
• Bazooka autoloading backpack

Armaments:

• 550mm Missile Launcher (x1): A bazooka that fires 550mm caliber missiles. It uses a double barrel type of magazine that can hold up to ten missiles at a time. The rear barrel can be adjusted via a slide based on the range of the target and the ammunition type currently used. The weapon is reloaded from a backpack mounted autoloader that can hold up to 50 missiles before needing a reload.
• DyPW Variable Beam Rifle (x1): A beam rifle with two settings - powerful, single-shot bursts and a rapid-fire mode with lower power.
• 90mm Linear Railgun Rifle (x1): A weapon that fires high-speed projectiles.
• 80mm Forearm Gatling Gun
• Beam Saber (x2)

Weaknesses: Although this variant of the standard Rook is incredibly fast and mobile, capable of matching modern machines, its operating time has suffered as a result. It is essentially a skirmisher unit, one built more for hit-and-run attacks (hence its use by a pirate advance force), and while in possession of beam-treated heavy armour, will be a sitting duck the moment its power runs out. It has no recharge racks for its beam sabers either, and its beam rifles feed off its power generator, thus ensuring greater ammo dependency for the machine. It also can't function in atmosphere. At all.

[Letter Bee]

Sorry for the short post! That said, though, I managed to get Henry's gratitude across, right?

[Silvan Haven]

Yeah.

[Letter Bee]

Will wait for the others, unless @Crimmy wants to collab with me...

[Letter Bee]

@Silvan Haven, are you open to collaboration posts?
