[OOC] The Jaeger Program Rebooted (3 Spots Open - Apply Now!)

<Snipped quote by Sep>

The Shiva is based of the Gipsy Dancer, and so has a height of 260ft (79m), a weight of 1,980 Tons, a Strength rating of 8, Speed of 7 and Armour of 6. As it has a large central power core, the Shiva can't fit chest-mounted weapons (AKM or Gatling Chest), but instead has four arms with which to equip other weapons.

Both the MK-7 Samurai and the Dirty Atlas are based off of the Striker Eureka, and so have a height of 250ft (76m), weight of 1,850 Tons, STrength rating of 10, Speed of 10 and Armour of 9. The large chest space means both Jaeger may fit a chest-mounted weapon system, as well as two arm-mounted weapons.

The Cataclysm is a refit of the old Cherno Alpha model Jaeger, with a height of 280ft (85m), weight of 2,412 Tons, Strength rating of 10, Speed of 3 and Armour of 10. Unlike other Jaeger the Cataclysm pilot compartment is in the chest rather than the head, with the reactor core placed on top of the Jaeger for added stability. Due to its large mass the Cataclysm may fit a chest-mounted weapon system (although this is usually mounted on the Jaeger's shoulders instead), as well as two arm-mounted weapons systems.

WHile also based on the older Cherno Alpha model Jaeger, the Scarlet Knight has the pilot compartment in the head unit as with other Jaeger models, with its power core once more housed within its chest. This change in design makes the Scarlet Knight the shortest of the twin-pilot Jaeger at a height of only 230ft (70m), and weighing 1,930 Tons, it has a Strength rating of 10, Speed of 5 and Armour of 8. With the increased space due to the redesign the Scarlet Knight may actually fit a chest-mounted weapons system in its chest, rather than requiring it be mounted on the shoulders, as well as equipping two arm-mounted weapons systems.

@Genni

Do we go with the weapons in the image? I mean I'm fine with them but just cheeecking. So we know what we have.

[Shadowcatcher]

@Genni i beat you to it.

@Sep read the second ooc post son.

@Shadowcatcher

Last I checked (Yesterday) it just listed random weapons, not what was where... but I'll check again.

Still just lists random weapons, not what we have.

i dont think im understanding your question.

@Shadowcatcher
by the way I believe I am in the training area because im lifting weights so you could talk to me if you want

@Shadowcatcher

I want to know what Cataclysm HAS.

What are all the gizmos on it.

[Lennon79]

Just throwing it out there, but Samurai and Dirty Atlas have way OP stats.
Just saying.

@Jangel13

you are in a seperate room lifting weights. The training room is the room where Mako and Raleigh had their fight session thingy.

Completey different room. Though feel free to move into the room and attempt to wake up Yanmei. That is, if you want to get hit.

@Sep

oh oh. All the weapons listed there are available for that Jaeger. Though it will be holding a ton more ammunition for certain weapons than the others.

[Genni]

@Sep The idea is you can choose from the list which weapons your Jaeger wants to take, instead of the standard twin arm-mounted I-19 Plasmacaster and chest-mounted AKM which would be standard on most of the Jaeger (the Shiva would just have four Plasmacasters to start with, as it can't fit the chest-mounted weapons due to its larger power core.)

The option to 'refit' your Jaeger between missions is also available, but only as long as there's time within the story for the work to be done. If you suddenly hear that there's a Kaiju heading for Tokyo then you'd have to leave right away, and wouldn't have a chance to change any of your weapons (although the weapons you already have fitted would be fully charged and reloaded with required ammunition.)

[Jangel13]

ah got it didn't realize the entire structure of the shatter dome. although I probably will talk to yanmei anyone once someone else posts a reply.

[Shadowcatcher]

@Genni why do you explain things so much better than me? I feel like such a failure gm q.q

@Lennon79

Those are the official stats from the film, since the Striker Eureka was supposed to be the first type-5 Jaeger built and was the pinnacle of technology available at the time.

Technically the single-pilot Jaeger would be type-6, but as their designed as 'scout' Jaeger they're lighter and faster than their big brothers.

The Shiva has the advantage of having more weapons to make up for its baseline weakness, and the Cataclysm has the heavier armour, enabling it to last longer in battles.

@Shadowcatcher

It's my job as co-GM. You have all the good ideas and I translate them for the Grunts to understand.

@Genni

Logical, but it still leaves a number of Jaegers effectively obsolete. Or can I conveniently forget about the stat system?

[Avanhelsing]

I suppose it is only proper that Jack as the only American or close to, is piloting the American Jaeger.

[Shadowcatcher]

i see guests! JOIN US!!

[Genni]

@Shadowcatcher

All part of my duties, boosting morale and maintaining an effective chain-of-command.

@Lennon79

Pretty much. When it comes to the fighting it'll be more about how effectively you can figure out how to battle with the Jaeger you're in, rather than what stats say should happen. After all the Cherno Alpha was technically hopelessly obsolete by the time the events of the film happened (being a type-1 Jaeger surrounded by type-3s and 4s), but the piloting team was still keeping it a viable front line unit right up until the last days of the conflict.

The Cataclysm is also an upgrade to the older machine, and as the stats are based on the Cherno Alpha it may yet prove itself to be far superior to the expectations held for it.

Shatterdome Layout

Floor 1 - Airfield, Skylift Helicopter Hangar, Supply Bays,¹ Comms Array and Scanner Systems
Floor 2 - Auxiliary Jaeger Hangar Access,² Drivesuit Interface Chambers, Engineering Workshops,³ Research and Development Department
Floor 3 - Kwoon Combat Room, Simulation Chamber, Gymnasium, Shower Room, Medical Bay, Meditation Garden and Swimming Pool
Floor 4 - LOCCENT Mission Control, Crew Quarters, Crew Lounge, Shower Room, Drift Sync Test Chamber and Evacuation Chutes⁴
Floor 5 - Main Jaeger Hanger Access,² Marshall's Office, Mess Hall, Chapel, Armoury, Munitions Bays and Power Core<sup>5

Each level has surface access via elevators, stairs and maintenance ladders for movement around the base and emergency evacuation.</sup>

_{1 - Non-vital supplies only. Mechanical components and equipment are stored in the Engineering Workshops on level 2, medical supplies are held in the Medical Bay on level 3, food supplies are held in the Mess Hall on level 5 and ammunition and munitions supplies are held in the Armoury also on level 5.
2 - Although the Jaeger Hangar descends the full depth of the Shatterdome and has accessways on every level the two main access routes are on level 5 for the hangar floor and level 2 for maintenance access and Jaeger transferring to the Engineering Workshops for refit and repair.
3 - While previously dedicated to only the maintenance and repair of operational Jaegers the Engineering Workshops have now passed under the banner of the Research and Development Department in order to create new technologies for the latest Jaegers in the field.
4 - Evacuation points are available on every level of the Shatterdome, but as non-essential personnel are confined to level 4 during combat operations a dedicated drop shaft leading to a sub-level monorail is accessible on this level for rapid evacuation of the majority of the base's personnel should it be required.
5 - Main power core access is located on level 5, however the core itself is set into the sea bed beneath the base, so that it may easily be flooded in case of catastrophic containment failure.}
