[OOC] Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

[Ammokkx]

@Ammokkx Got it. Expect a post sometime tomorrow. Unless there is a plan to collab for IC-wise decision making on this matter?

Also I totally pictured a Titanfall entry for X-7 just now :'). Slams down and crushes the sniper xD. Not gonna happen, but damn it'd be funny.

@Jasonhero

The only collabs that happen is when both sides agree to collab. The only way it happens is if Jason reaches out to the squad, and even then it depends on who he reaches out to. Collabing is purely up to you in this case.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ammokkx He'd try to reach out to whoever is in command of the current battlefield. So ye.

@Evil SnowmanThe dying echos of Jason's friends? :')

[Ammokkx]

He'd try to reach out to whoever is in command of the current battlefield. So ye.

@Jasonhero

The command went from Harold to Sigma to Serah to nobody. I don't think there's a good way to determine that right now lol

@Ammokkx We ARE DEMOCRACY

Which is totally horrible in a battlefield.

Srsly.

That or we are going commando.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ammokkx Ah, well he'd just kind of broadcast something along the lines of him being reinforcements, and asking where they need him. So if somebody there wants to pick up the phone, that'd be great. :3

Since a collab seems unlikely, expect a post up tomorrow. If anybody in particular wants to collab (like ever, I'm always willing so long as I'm not doing college at that moment) then just message me.

[Evil Snowman]

@Ariamis Yo boss two quick questions, I really should of asked a long time ago. How far can Caretakers drones move in a turn? I assumed it about half the speed of a werk dashing so about two squares per turn but thought I'd check with you. Also deploying drones I'd assume counts as attack if so how many per turn?

[Ariamis]

@Evil Snowman
Drones have a fixed movement of two squares. Six can be deployed at once and in maximum, and releasing drones counts as an attack. The drones can immediately act upon being released.

[Gate Keeper]

@Ariamis Did magus gain the charge bonus for not moving before or notafter the recharging mechanism was destroyed?

Though at this point he is pretty much just a sentient emp grenade

[Ariamis]

@Gate Keeper
He did.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ariamis Whenever I land, is that considered a full turn, or could I land on a square and get off a quick shot this round?

[Mr Rage]

Well, unless Blackstar can throw his spear like a javelin at long distance ranges, he won't be much help this turn. Shall I call for a Jonah lift and head to troas, if that is even possible? Or shall I move erratically towards the sniper. Without going back and checking, I think next post I can use wave surger for its laser again. So after a sprint I should be close to being within range of the sniper for the waver surger laser or using mode two to launch the hand microwave him that way.

I would recommend paladin deal with the cwms as the sniper is out of range?

A question about caretakers drones, for the player receiving repair help, does this burn a movement or anything like that?

Mai, keep pulling the triggers.

[Evil Snowman]

Okay... @Mr Rage you always bet me to the punch on plans. Anyway pretty much black star going after the sniper. Palladian will attack the CWMs while Caretaker moves towards Mai to render aid and protect Mai form the cruxi. For now Elora is being ignored much as it will pain Katya to do so. So once again you guess was right. I swear you need to get out of my head. This is only a nut shell working on a more detailed version.

As for the drones I'm guessing they get their fixed movement plus one action per turn. Correct me if I'm wrong boss

[JessieTargaryen]

If I am able to attack in the same movement I land, I might be able to at least take away the sniper's rifle arm. A quick shot from the railgun wouldn't do it, as I am willing to be these guys have something more than light armor. However, I think a volley of missiles on the arm's shoulder-joint might be able to do the trick.

[Mr Rage]

@Evil Snowman to clarify my question on the drones, does the repair take a turn from the player being repaired?

@Jasonhero I bet you can do better then that. How long does a charge shot take to charge if we were talking real life? How long will it take to drop? You are coming in from a non-turn based system, effectively. Use the fluidity of that in your creativity to charge while you drop from Jonah. Also, the very nature of a middle pods is to let out a crazy swarm of missiles. I doubt you can be so specific as to which joint you attack. Also, you assume that a unit that is designed to attack over great distances is going to have medium to heavy armor. While we don't really know, I assume by the nature of the unit that for the need to move quickly between shots that it would be at most light.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Mr Rage A quick shot can punch through light, and heavily dent medium armor. That can be fired in one post, however I've been told a more powerful shot takes a whole post to charge up. I don't think it takes that long to drop in from Jonah.

Though if I can do that, then I'd be able to shove a heavy armor-piercer straight through his face.

[Ariamis]

@Ariamis Whenever I land, is that considered a full turn, or could I land on a square and get off a quick shot this round?

@Jasonhero

Landing prohibits attacking (a midair shot is going to miss anyway), but charging is not.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ariamis Got it. Would charging to fire off said round as a reaction work?

[Ariamis]

@Jasonhero
Yes, and that would count as the next round's attack.

[Evil Snowman]

@Evil Snowman to clarify my question on the drones, does the repair take a turn from the player being repaired?

@Mr Rage

@Mr Rage I'm not to sure on that. I'd assume it's a over time effect the drones able to repair a small amount each turn they are active.

@Ariamis Boss I'm I right? Did I miss the mark?

[Ariamis]

@Evil Snowman
It depends on the kind of repair they do; they could cling on to a Frame like a beneficial parasite and perform small repairs like welding rent armor shut without inhibiting their movement, or they could perform more surgical repairs/attach big parts or even limbs, which would require the Frame to stay immobile.
