Uh.... how did it get Jump 9? A mech can only have a number of JJs equal to its walk speed, or Improved JJs equal to running speed. Even with a Partial Wing to enhance the jump speed, I can't see a 2/3 mech being able to jump 9. Edit: Looking closer, those are mechanical jump boosters. So, no heat but you can't turn mid jump. I....uh.... I don't know what to say.

Axe-man posted:Welcome to experimental tech, I hope you enjoy it. It only gets worse from there. Well, it's more like, yeah you've got crazy jumping with no heat, but iirc you can't make any turns or curves while jetting either. Nor will they work while in water. And really, for a 100 tonner with experimental tech, only being armed with an AC/20 and LL is kinda... undergunned. In fact, I honestly can't think of what's taking up so much weight, what with the engine being only 2/3 and the use of ES and FF armor. Do Jump Boosters really weigh so much? *checks* Ah, 5 tons per jump mp. So.... yeah. Guess that explains where all the weight went to.

berryjon posted:I thought Urbies grew up to be Overlords? I should try that. I want an UrbanMech garden! More weird experimental tech with UrbanMech flavor. Here's the reason that the Blakists lost the war. The interface cockpit was introduced in Jihad: Final Reckoning and was only used in one Word of Blake 'mech in canon. The pilot not only needs Vehicular Direct Neural Interface implants, but needs to wear a special power armour suit to use the cockpit. It grants a further -1/-1 to piloting on top of the -1/-1 from VDNI. You also ignore all gyro hits, and can even build an equipped 'mech without a gyro at all. If you construct a pilot with VDNI, a pain shunt, and full-body dermal plating and put him in an interface cockpit, he can't take damage from any of the usualt sources source. Not heat, head hits, falling damage, ammo explosions, nothing. There's some overlap between capabilities but that combination covers everything. The pilot can only be killed through decapitation. Hits to the two cockpit slots deal two hits to the pilot and deal one damage to his interface suit's armour, as well as imparting the same penalty as a gyro hit. Both cockpit slots can be hit and the pilot still survives. As long as the interface suit has armour, a pilot will also survive an armour breach or life support failure in a hostile environment. If the pilot ejects, he can keep fighting as a power armour trooper. Also, the Void Signature system is adaptive chameleon-like camouflage that works better if the 'mech using it remains still or slow. Not an issue with an UrbanMech!

Ah, yes. The Urbanmech life cycle is always fascinating to study. You always have to watch out for Overlords, otherwise you might find it leaving dozens of eggs all over the place.

Titanium and steel flashed to vapor as his medium lasers speared the machine like some ancient hunter prodding a wounded lion. There was an actinic flash as the `Mech’s jump jets exploded under the lasers’ scarlet beams, and the Griffin bled smoke from a dozen breaches. Like a beast at bay, it came about—the Lion was dying, but the eagle still had eyes and a vicious beak. Flavian felt a moment of supreme triumph as the Griffin erupted—taking out a much larger `Mech was every scout pilot’s dream. Everything in his Spider’s cockpit seemed suffused in a warm glow. An amber flash filled Flavian’s eyes.

Ouch. That one's my fault, I had a lapse of judgment and thought I'd be out of the Griffin line of fire. Should have gone to 0901. And yet again eliminated by head shot while my front torso armor is still entirely intact. In a way it's lucky.

Awww. I always feel sad when a Goon controlled pilot dies. Not necessarily gets his mech destroyed, but actually dies. Unless the pilot is a clanner.

I would recommend against building our strategy around it though, cause it doesn't happen usually. Unless you're Ion Rush. Mark my words, he will pay.

Bad luck for the Spider there, but at least he (might have?) got the Griffin. The dying mech gave as good as he got back, I guess. Also, headshots everywhere! One from a Death from Above as well... That Bobcat really has been annoying you guys, hasn't he? At least the one from the Coyote wasn't from the Snub Nose PPC, or else you guys would have lost the Cicada as well... Well, at least the Clint is gone from the battle, the Wolfhound and the Commando soon to join it. Though I noticed that PTN forgot to update the secondary objective counter for the Griffin getting destroyed, though you did count it for the drive off objective. Lastly, you didn't update the fact that the Shadow Hawk took a pilot hit in the status block underneath the map, and didn't mark the Spider dead. Oh well, we all know what went down this turn... EDIT:\/\/\/\/\/\/ Huh, guess that makes sense. Still, you didn't change the status of the mech or the pilot to dead, either. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 09:09 on May 25, 2012 |

Treuan posted:If you focus A5 and hope the other two run, you can probably finish the primary, and maybe the second secondary. This. That Bobcat's mauled you enough - hit it hard and complete the primary objective. If you can't get a shot at it, hit the Jackrabbit (which is FAR more fragile than the Coyote and should die fairly quick).

Four turns of LRM fire left. Glad I pegged the Bobcat there.

bunnyofdoom posted:PTN, just woondering, but how much of your portrayl of Clovis Lestrade is influenced by Tyrion Lannister, Almost 0% since I haven't read any of the Song of Ice and Fire. I've got the first book on my kindle, but I haven't gotten around to reading it. I'm actually basing Clovis Lestrade on Stackpole's Clovis Lestrade (with the silliness turned down, so the actually dangerous Clovis Lestrade you see a grand total of once). Duncin Marik, on the other hand, is based on Arnold J. Rimmer (he's actually not  ).

Alright. Just focus everything on the Bobcat and the primary objective's yours. Then hopefully the two remaining mechs don't take you out.

Speaking of Clovis, will we see any developments on the Skye/Viper front next time?
