[OOC] FRAMEs: Chapter II [Reboot] (Mech combat, politics & corporate intrigue)

<Snipped quote by Aristo>

Yeah I've been watching Schwarzesmarken since it started airing. I've been trying to get the English patch to work on the Chronicles but it won't let me put it on there. And I'm still trying to get through the first parts of Extra but the lunches don't...fucking...stop...

@Massasauga

I finished Extra and Unlimited forever ago, but left off Alternative somewhere in the middle. If the lunches get to you, wait till the lacrosse arc.... I ought to get around to finishing Alt. I have the files for volumes 1 and 2 of Chronicles in a folder but haven't touched them yet.

@Aristo

I try to tell myself to go for one side and then Yuuko says I shouldn't ignore Sumika and I just can't deal with it.

@Foster

That long?

Also, everyone note a small change to the OP pertaining to subsystems:

I will also make some exception for subsystems in that, if you have a very specific role in mind for your pilot, you can make up your own systems. Case in point would be a specialized reconnaissance/intel-gathering FRAME that would require equipment not currently on this list. PM me with details and questions; DIY subsystems will be analyzed case-by-case.

Aristo

Since I let a few people carry unique pieces of kit, I think it's only fair to open the option up and let everyone know they can do so as well. I'll still update the current subsystem list with new things, which might serve as inspirations for unique equipment.

-I was distracted by several peoples in various chats.

Dun't judge meh.

[DarkStar]

Meep. I was depending on you Sir!

:p I didn't state the weapons effectiveness as I wanted to hear your thoughts. xD. So I guess there is a little more freedom now? I don't know xD

Yay activity!

Thanks foster. Love ya!

[Foster]

And for the second questions; most identification is done visually; just as armor crews and pilots in militaries are trained to identify vehicle silhouettes, FRAME pilots are as well. A radar might show a FRAME-sized blip, but to understand what model it is, and what sort of armaments it has, the pilot ought to get a true visual. Once he does, however, that info can be relayed to other teammates and inputted into his databank for reference.

@Aristo

BTW, it IS possible, with training, to determine what sort of movements the radar-contact is making, purely on their Doppler-shift.

-As the contact likely sounds like a very big clunky person, training to determine walking, running, crawling, and sprinting between cover are actually things people are trained to do, even if the radar-contact is brief they will have a rough idea of their pace, tempo, and wariness.

[Dark Light]

I think I broke Kat :/

[Massasauga]

Okay seriously, I'm getting a post up today if it kills me.

Also, @Aristo, she's fucking perfect

[Slamurai]

@Massasauga
I've always been partial to the rich girls.

[Shorticus]

I'll wait to post again until after @Massasauga does, I think.

[Foster]

Since Darkstar's mech lost its head...

Would Kat be willing to host a ride-along on the next mission, even if it's Sarah?

@Dark Light@DarkStar

[Massasauga]

@Aristo The "sex license" made me lose my shit. Meiya is definitely better than Sumika.

[Slamurai]

[DarkStar]

Well that would be interesting. :p I was thinking it
Left hemisphere.




That's how she is seeing right now :p. Except it is a lot more floppy.
Right hemisphere.


:P Yah, if allowed I'll have a post up momentarily.

[Slamurai]

Someone can finish off the last goon and I'll whisk us away to the Samigina and get the ball really rolling.

[Shorticus]

I'll go ahead and do that now. My apologies for being late with my post!

[Shorticus]

Agh. I hate to double post, but I should ask (since this determines what Maxwell does in the last part of my coming post): do the mission parameters include killing all the enemy pilots, or is it okay if a pilot lives while his FRAME is downed? (I.E. escapes via ejection or is captured.)

EDIT: I'll just rewrite a little so I can do this without needing that question answered.

[Rhona W]

So, hey, I have my character posted. I'm not sure if I should try and leap in now though, or leave it until everyone is back at base and she can be introduced a bit less awkwardly.

@Silverwind Blade
You'd probably have more to work with once we're together on the landcruiser, so I'd suggest that approach. I'l writing a post this moment, but that's not to say you can't sneak an intro in beforehand.
