I'd like to call out the mods on this battle. Raijinslayer, you said the defenses of your mech were average at best, there's no way you can be shrugging a piercing weapon like a mass drive that easily.
@AtomicNut The mech itself is fragile, but you said you hit the thrusters, which I took to mean the Shroud, which I stated clearky that they were much better protected, given that they are what makes the mech even remotely viable. Two more hits and it'll be done, but the thrusters on Anubis are separate from the actual mech itself.
@Ariamis to be truthful, Ian's enjoying every minute of this, and being outnumbered only multiplies that excitement by three.
@Ammokkx If it's that much of a bother, I'll cut back on it in future posts.
@AtomicNut It states that the The Shroud is "Made to stand the Test of battle", which is my way of saying that they're durable. Maybe I should've made that more clear, and I apologize for not doing so.
<Snipped quote by Raijinslayer>
Durable does not mean armored. An AK47 is built to resist the test of battle, but still will blow up to pieces when shot with an antimaterial rifle.
Signature Weapon System: A high powered Rail weapon. It does not give a big energy signature (being a material projectile) and it can pierce even very thick armors. The downside is that the recharge time is rather awful and it is not suited for close combat.
@AtomicNutFixed it, Ian's now down one Blade, which hamoers him slightly, but still allows him to keep combat effectiveness. The more he loses, however, the less survivable hus situation will become.
