[OOC] NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

[Gowi]

Should be touched on in the character's individual pages... that I'm working on.

[KabenSaal]

I posted my character app, on the last page. Referencing the NC a bit, but haven't made that yet. Gonna see how my girl is before making her toy.

As well as what i said in my last post, I'm just going to point out some details that may need to be looked into as some things, in my opinion, don't mesh up correctly with the overall theme of the rp.

But, as soon as she was able to do all of them, she was trained in her father's trade of gun and knife, or occasionally sword.

Its a futuristic RP that involves mechs. While guns are believable, us as humans in today's age stopped using swords before ww1 which was also the introduction of firearms. Taking that into consideration, I don't think anyone would really be trained in sword use for war purposes when we have giant NC Mechs.

There were strange feelings about when she was inside, and any sort of mistep caused her to feel it, and it hurt.

The ability to feel in an NC may not be that high. Remember they probably don't have pain sensors so stubbing your toe shouldn't hurt. The pain a pilot would feel would come from your mind loosing it's connection with the limb or such. May need clarification from LHG or Gowi, but it seems the way you described it is a little too sensitive when you're going to be shot at by missiles.

Upon landing the near-thirty foot drop, it felt like her legs were going to break, and that sudden shock dazed her for quite a while.

NCS can drop out of flight from several hundred feet in the sky. They are also taller than 30 feet in some cases. Again, the sensitivity is a little too high.

Overall, I also think your NC would be lacking a bit in armaments when compared to some others. You have said she won't have much weaponary or guns and instead will charge into battle. An NC can move at about the same speed as mech warrior online, so that's about 50km/h. Without any weapons or armaments, she'd be pretty easy pickings for someone like my Tahlia and her Spyder.

ah, the hidden nonsense that went on in the great war... reminds me of that scottish infantryman who rode down german outposts on a motorbike while wielding a bastard sword. At least, I'm pretty sure that happened.

edit: yup, this guy definitively existed, same guy as in the picture too. Oh, and that was a training exercise, but your point still stands.

He also got the last recorded longbow kill.

Touché

But we are talking about the same Deadpool that Marvel actually said publicly, "We know... We fucked up" xD

Still.

Taking that into consideration, I don't think anyone would really be trained in sword use for war purposes when we have giant NC Mechs.

I believe sword use isn’t a “standard” in the 27th Century but there are definitely precedents of training in it (at least in Red Star’s military), though I imagine a lot of that is a formality rather than a utility in general warfare unless there is a huge resurgence for some reason.

[Lonewolf685]

And if we really want to criticize sword use, you're going to have to take that up with Eli as well and her sword swinging NC

[KabenSaal]

@NuttsnBolts

Ok, in order.

She's using a sword because that's Rose's main weapon, and she wants to get better at it so she can use the NC's weapon more efficently, not just because of sword training. It's not a commonly used weapon in the mercenary company. I guess I did word it slightly wrong.

I may have misread the sensitivity of a high sync rating, so if it isn't quite that active, and is more on a limb-loss basis, I will make some edits.

Rose is not a big mech. Only about nine foot in total. So a thirty foot drop in it is still quite a long one. Again, probably linked to the me misreading the sensitivity, but even still, a thirty food drop is still three times the size of the NC.

Rose has a lithe frame and superior Actuators, allowing her to hit speeds much higher than the larger, more lumbering of NCs. Combine with her Primary Function, she is a valid and even quite dangerous NC on the battlefield.

[NuttsnBolts]

@Lonewolf685
I keep forgetting that cause in the original run she had a shotgun that she used on the mission we had. She barely used the sword. xD

[Lonewolf685]

That seems a bit small for an NC. Since a medium sized NC is 10 to 15 meters, and weaponry unleashed has blast redius in the hundreds of square feet, Rose would get blasted to smithereens from a random rocket volley, and being so melee centric it severely limits the force she can bring to bear with weaponry scaled for a 9ft tall NC. You may say that Rose would target structural weak points, but that still leaves her in a suit of armor that will be scrapped from even a grazing blow from another NC.

[Gowi]

NC Sizes
Small: 5-10 Meters (16-32 Feet)
Medium: 10-15 Meters (32-49 Feet)
Large: 15-30 Meters (49-98 Feet)
Gigantic: 30-50 Meters (49-164 Feet)
Colossal: 50+ Meters (164+ Feet)

[Lonewolf685]

...we could have made a Colossal NC?

[Gowi]

@Lonewolf685

Nope. =)

[Lonewolf685]

You're going to make us fight one of those in the future...oh screw it, you're enough of a sadist to throw three 80 meter tall NCs at us while a legion of 30m swarm across New Anchorage. DOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *wails in the depression corner*
