[OOC] Machines(Mechs, Mecha, and Powered Armor Oh My!)

[Raptorman]

So thoughts on mech ramming?

[TentacleLord]

What would the bore be in millimeters? Just to confirm.

Edit for mech ramming: It works, you'll just need the right sort of armor and weapon for it.

A caliber can be directly converted into inches, and I think Tentacle's just trying to figure out whether you mean a 1.00 caliber sniper rifle (firing a bullet double the size of a .50BMG, which is the caliber used on anti-material rifles such as the Barret M107) or a 100. caliber sniper rifle, where you'd be firing a bullet somewhere around nine and a half feet wide (which honestly, IMO, is a bit large, since even large naval cannons that are mounted on battleships are usually only around eighteen inches, if I remember right).

EDIT (since I didn't see Asura's post): I prefer the top, black one, although that's simply only because it has less bits and as such is easier to see having good mobility. They're both solid choices.

What SwagStag said. As for Asura, I like the red one 'cause it's got a pile bunker.

[jman221]

1.00 sorry i didnt realise will change it now

[Asura]

Everybody loves dat revolving stake.

leaning towards the upper image with Swag Stag.

[Asura]

Guess it depends. Do we have more heavy hitters or agile mechs?

[TentacleLord]

There's two heavy-hitting brusier type mechs, with three glass cannons and an agile sniper-mech, I think. There'll be a ramming one to add to the bruisers I believe.

[Asura]

Well shit, the pilebunker one is all about charging things down and hitting them till they stop moving.

[jman221]

i have no idea how im gonna start....

Haven or the surrounding Junkyard is a good place to start. Haven's a hub of activity, from assassination contracts being posted to mech parts being sold. There's a grand total of three bars for the people who like to collect their contracts the old fashioned way, and a small number of warehouses that are rented from the the more powerful groups who come into Haven.

WIP

Name: Lissa Eriksson
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Looks:

Lissa

Mobile Weapon:

MT1-005 Custom"Schwarzeisen"

Weapons:
2 chest mounted 20x102mm Gatling Cannons
1 belt equipped Heat Sword
3 arm mounted "Plasma Stakes"
8 back/shoulder mounted scatter-missiles, holding 20 high explosive rockets per shell.
1 "Iron Lance" rifle, firing highly concentrated plasma rounds with a fold out barrel enabling beam launching
Personality:
Short Biography: Lissa was born of a mercenary group's leader and one of the female members of the troop. Her earliest memories revolved around beating on giant robots that her parents and their companions piloted with a wrench to help the mechanics out. Afterall, it was pretty much decided she would be a pilot from the day she came into the world. Officially taking up the reigns as a pilot at the age of sixteen, she had been joyriding the giant machines since her early teens. Not long after her initiation into the troop, her group was presented with a fresh line up of mechs, donated by a newly founded corporation tailing behind Dynamo in exchange for real combat data to help expand their expertise. These mechs, nicknamed 'mechanized troopers' were created to be a hybrid of quick striker mechs and the heavy ground pounders archetypes so common among the junkyards. Lissa took the fifth unit of the first production run, customizing it heavily and painting it black. She currently rides with her parent's group, biding her time until she can get out from under their thumbs.

[TentacleLord]

From just the weapons, looks good.

The struggle to not use this is real

[TentacleLord]

Well, after seeing the bio it looks to be accepted.

[Asura]

I have no idea how to enter.

Other than, y'know, kicking a mech in half.
