[OOC] Falling Skies: 7th Mobile Armor Suit Team

[DMZ]

@WhoamiWhich is exactly why that EMP didn't completely destroy every circuit in that mech :P
I checked the character sheets before posting, to see how I could make the game more fun for those people.
Since I'm here to make the game more interesting, I thought that offering an enemy with an IQ higher than 80 (most mooks the team fought so far see to be below this) would add some challenge without involving a mass numerical advantage or the presence of overpowered mechs(see Curb Stomp battle).

Should I stop using Common Sense(TM)?

[Kimiyosis]

And you happen to have one built into your mech? It can't protect the entire machine, only certain internal parts. So unless you have a very special kind of shield built into your armour, bad luck?

If Faraday cages were that easy to employ, every modern vehicle would have one. And while modern cars do act as Faraday cages, they still get shut down by EMP :P

@DMZ

No, it's just that you didn't mention that as a counter measure against EMP.
I was like, "Nuuuuu! He forgot about Faraday Cages!!!!!!"

[DMZ]

@KimiyosisOh, lol. I was scared for a sec.

Wait, do Faraday cages protect against EMP on a large scale? I know their basic principle, but seems to me like you can only protect whatever is inside such a cage from a mass EMP blast if you have a proportionally large enough cage.

I may need to read up on that more. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

@DMZ

You'll also have to insulate the electronics from directly touching the cage.
And yes they do. As long as the design is capable of properly concentrating the effect along the cage, the electronics inside should be safe.

Reason why I see people 'foiling' the interior of houses sometimes.

Think in terms of similar to a lightning rod for the cage, and a lightning strike as the cage. However, a lightning rod will not affect an EMP, so don't confuse this example with reality~!

My midterms should be wrapping up this week (last two are tuesday and thursday), so I can finally get back into the Guild! Yay! Which means something should be expected by the end of this week!

*Throws confetti*

[Whoami]

The thing I love about this group is its patience and pure dedication. Thank you all.

[vietmyke]

Not that I'm stopping Falling Skies, but here's a new Iteration of it from a different perspective!

[DMZ]

Vietmyke, how are you going to manage two RPs if you barely have time for one? Me and Whoami can't exactly take over xD

[Whoami]

Myke and I have been RPing a loooong time and I know he can handle it. Besides, that's why he keeps me around anyways, his trusty partner in crime.

[vietmyke]

My midterm season is wrapping up and I'm not working during the semester so time should start freeing up for me very soon.

[Kimiyosis]

I just realized I left Yuu still anchored on the hull of the Lincoln.

[vietmyke]

She had a half hour to get back inside at one point

[Kimiyosis]

Can I say she RTB'ed :3?

[vietmyke]

Probably

[PrincessOfNothing]

Sorry I haven't been around or talking very much lately, I've kinda been busy with some other junk. But anyways! Myke, I was thinking we should do a collab for Alice sneaking into the Coalition base?

[vietmyke]

@PrincessOfNothing Was she going to sneak into the Coalition base, or wait for the rest of the team to come find her?

[PrincessOfNothing]

I was thinking the first one? The Odyssey Protocol being started activated a tracking beacon inside the Eagle so the Lincoln could know where it, and the POWs, are being taken and send a rescue team there, meanwhile, Alice would try her darndest to break them out so they can all be ready to be rescued

[vietmyke]

Sure we can do that then.

[PrincessOfNothing]

Okie dokie! Do you have a titanpad?

[Harbringer]

Vagal nervous system...brachial plexus...or was that...

SKREEEEEEEEE!

Will post after finals >_>
