If worse comes to worse, the players can always fall back on a JagerBomb.

PTN, I think it's a real credit to you as a writer/scenario designer that I wanted another option to win and yet I'm STILL at pretty much maximum hype for this round. loving awesome.

Ba Donk a Bonk posted:Those small lasers are for point blank range, so the heat they produce doesn't really matter. The good news is that it's criminally slow, so it should never ever be within 3 hexes of anything. Also, I am hilariously loving pumped to be part of this one. EDIT: so much so that I bought plat so I could PM.

Take off one of those King Crab's arms and you halve its firepower. The Jager Bomb is the perfect mech for the job, although being within 9 hexes of the Crab is gonna suck.

This all began when Cyndi Lauper put Captain Lou Marik in a music video and steamrolled from there. Just ride that train until we hit the Monday Night Succession Wars, when the Word of Blake puts together their own competing outfit and starts spoiling the results of pre-taped matches over the HPG network.

If that Charger doesn't rip the Value Crab's arms off and then beat it to death with them I will be sincerely disappointed.

Teledahn posted:Maximum hype indeed. Mostly I'm trying to keep people interested while I do all the spritework. Speaking of, going in and manually labeling every building on the map is going to kill me.  There're probably 300 individual building sprites on the map (all multi-hex, occupying 2-5 hexes total). I don't want to know how many individual building hexes there are, and hand-labeling them is going to destroy my wrists. Would anyone mind if I just put a disclaimer at the bottom saying "all buildings are Light [Ground Height +2] unless otherwise labeled? Edit: Hahaha, it's 1:30 AM? I've been working on this since I got home.

In other news, pirate roads are really inconvenient.  Map's still not done but I'm stopping for the night. I just have a few mansions to place (mostly around the water reservoir) and we're golden.

By the way, if in the future you have a need for more custom mech sprites I'd be happy to help out with my meager skills.

We're on the wrong side of the Inner Sphere for Metal Babbys, sadly. If it makes you feel any better, one of the OpForce is in a stock Shadow Hawk SHD-2D. Better known as the worst Medium `Mech in the game. This is not that `Mech.  For once, 1 ton of Machine Gun ammunition wasn't enough.

Now imagine running that with the Machinegun Burst Fire special rule.  It would probably immediately explode due to heat.

The only way this could be better is if it were the all-MG mech someone ran up earlier in the thread in response to me asking a dumb question about how many MGs can you fit into a single chassis. The answer is a shitload. TildeATH posted:At least with pirates it will be easy to write fluff for missed turns. Likely the amount of gambling, drinking and copulating going on in those cockpits is enough to make Steiner Rules himself blush. I think after PTN assigns 11 pilots I'm like six pilots down on the list so I hope half the people currently on the list don't put in orders on turn 1 so I can take over. attn all current pilots: be bad at orders, TIA (My plan is to be good at putting in orders, but put in bad orders.

Also, you'll get to see the full damage graphs for the enemy this time around since the players have an 'insider' who knows what the Tortuga Fusiliers / Death's Consorts are fighting in.
