[OOC] Mass Effect: The Equestrian Equation

[KiltmanBagz]

I also won't be getting a post up tonight, but i'll likely get something up tomorrow

I believe that the diplomat would land in a small shuttle accompanied by a small elite squad. The main ship is too big and menacing to aid the first contact's peaceful intentions, and keeping it out of sight is probably for the best.

A "small shuttle" for the advanced galactic races could seem extremely large and menacing to the Equestrians. Unless it's like the ME2 shuttle which is like, a flying coffin.

[Frettzo]

That's what I meant to say, the flying coffin. Very few weapons but advanced enough at a simple glance to be intimidating (in the good way) in its own right.

So, everyone agree on using the small flying car to land on the planet? Need to know it in order to write my post :p

[Draconilian]

I'm down with that

[KiltmanBagz]

How about Seeker, as well as other SEECs, are there as A) part of the translation team (AI processing power would be effective for this and B) as defensive unites if things go wrong. They are capable of producing hella shields?

heh, 'i' know that, but they don't =D of course's that's how things'll go, naturally they'd still just pick the biggest area 'just incase'. but yes, the 'flying coffin' makes sense =D I feel like i recall it having guns on it or something, but i can't remember it being used as more than a battering ram that one time.

As for the SEECs, CRIPE! I knew i was forgetting something when i posted that earlier. heh, both those 'A and B' would be useful =D I have an idea to help the translation along, at least on the galactic civilization's side of the encounter =D it oughta be kinda funny in the end.

I'm starting work on my post shortly, been very busy with projects for College. Also, yeah, the cars have some weaponry. Just a couple guns attached to the front. But what you gotta do? xD

I wonder if the 'flying coffin' will be intimidated by the personal mech artillery weapons XD

Being quadrupedal they have a lot more stability for heavier weapons than the normal ME mechs =D MUWAHAHAHHAHAAH!!!!... good thing the one we'll have with us is gonna be disarmed for diplomatic reasons XD I'm really tempted to orchestrate a scenario where he can use that gun before having to give it away XD

[Draconilian]

Okay so we still need Guitar Frettz and Toaster Strudel to post.

[Frettzo]

I'm slowly making progress dudes, but don't wait on me just yet. If you need to post to bring the aliens into the landing zone, do it. I'll find a way to tie myself in afterwards... I'm pretty darn busy with projects.

[Strudel]

There we go!
Sorry I took so long ^^;

[Draconilian]

So what do you guys think about Twilight having a universal translator spell? I mean that sounds like something she would work on, and it would be useful, and I think the best solution to the language barrier.

*Tumbleweed*

[Frettzo]

I'm sorry guys, but please bear (bare?) with me, the last few weeks have been very tough on me. I might be able to make a post this weekend, but it's not a promise. I do have to hand in a project on Monday, and I haven't even started that yet. Though my semester and french course level both end by friday next week, then I'll be as active as always :)

[KiltmanBagz]

Don't worry, I'm vary patient. Goodluck on your stuffs.

[Draconilian]

GM MIA, I repeat, GM MIA

[Shoryu]

not MIA, just procrastinatingly taking advantage of the excuse to be waiting for someone... I'll go see what i can do next XD

and given that Twilight hasn't encountered races that can't speak equestrian yet, as useful as the spell is and you can bet she'd be working on one!, There wouldn't be a complete version yet... maybe this'll lead to it getting done and she'll use it later XD

[Frettzo]

Ken'Koris will be back at the ship, waiting for the diplomatic team to return or to be called in as reinforcements if things go south.
