[OOC] Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

[Mr Rage]

true... i guess we'll find out when we send him in to take care of a mist all on his lonesome...

@redbaron1234
Accepted, you can post it to the character tab. I was thinking that Krista's a new replacement and was transferred during the week of time off-duty.

@Ariamis

That make sure sense to me. Maybe she was part of an R&D unit and called up because of how useful her armament might be against foes like The Mist?

@redbaron1234

Uh. In my opinion I doubt that.

Don't know what Ariamis' call is, but as far as I'm aware MIST pierces through anything when it attacks. It's not radiation in the typical sense since it destroys any organic matter it touches. I doubt the base would have the technology to combat that, even with your shield.

As for the BFG, from what I can gather it's a medium ranged weapon which is also MIST's range. To top that, even if it did have long-rage capabilities, you said yourself that the blast wears off. That won't be enough to kill it in one shot, as Serah and Sigma had to set off a metric buttload of explosives using a massive plasma core.

As far as I'm aware, the pilots in this program are called up for a... specific reason.

something something potential, something something plot convenience.

[redbaron1234]

@Ammokkx Fair enough. I intended the gun to be on the long range of medium, if that makes sense? When I compared it to a howitzer, I meant it. Still catching up on the IC though.

I doubt that it will be able to 1V1 the MIST either way.

@redbaron1234

Far 's I'm aware, Medium, Close and Long range have specific value that are unchangeable. Close is the same tile, Medium is three tiles and Long is seven.

Hey, @Ariamis, what's you call on the plasma cannon's range?

@Ariamis

The intention was that it was an artillery style gun that stays towards the rear, so I would prefer and am willing to re-write it to be long ranged.

[Ariamis]

@redbaron1234@Ammokkx
Capable of semi-long range (let's say 5 tiles), but with reduced power at that range.

Perfect, exactly what I had in mind.

I'll start writing up a short introductory post saying that Krista arrived the day before the week-off was over.

[Mr Rage]

Further questions about the plasma howitzer; is there a minimum range? And by the description it sounds like there is potential for splash damage. If so, how large is the splash?

@Mr Rage

I haven't put much thought to it. I'd imagine that there would be the normal dangers of "Firing into a Melee" but I doubt that the explosion could take up an entire square. Seems like a question for the GMs.

@Ariamis@Ammokkx

[Ariamis]

@redbaron1234
It has a blast radius of one square.

[Mr Rage]

Ok, so an entire cwm pod standing in a square would all take damage, same for an myself of Sarah being melee combatants. Same as paladin's salvos then. Also meaning your effective range with the plasma cannon is 1-5 squares because targeting your own square would be targeting yourself.

Ok, good information.

Thanks!

@Mr Rage

You seriously dismiss the power of the rocket jump :p

You seriously dismiss the power of the rocket jump blowing yourself up :p

@redbaron1234

Fixed that for you

@Dragoknighte

Yes, I am blowing myself up with a rocket jump. Why would I blow myself down?

[DarkRecon]

Still alive. Just taking care of Xmas shopping and related stuff.

Hope I didn't miss anything important OOC wise.

And welcome back redbaron ^_^

[JessieTargaryen]

As a heads up, I will likely be disappearing for around three to five weeks for Winter Break, won't really have connection or anything.

@DarkRecon

'Tis good to be back too.

[Ariamis]

@Jasonhero
Alright, thanks for letting me know.

[Mr Rage]

Just waiting on these two @Apollosarcher@AtomicNut, right?
