AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:edit: a hex with a dead mech counts as rough terrain and therefore takes an extra movement and a pilot check to get through, right? Extra movement, no piloting check.

PoptartsNinja posted:Extra movement, no piloting check. @ActiveGoonlance RIP Paragon1; Long live Paragon1! Paragon2? I propose we try to shoot these cheeky fuckers in the back where they do not have their extra ablative armor. I can get behind the one in 1123 and hit it on 6s with my LPLs (Gunnery: 3 + walking: 1 + their movement: +4 + Pulse -2) and I imagine our lights could easily re-position to get in melee range or short range of the backs of the other two that are nearby... If you dont have a backshot your primary focus should be heading to the Coyote base, firing second. I think we need to get someone to that base and also get as clustered up (without being immediately adjacent to each other) as to cover each other.

The Society is also amazingly dumb since they produce the birth control chemicals that go into the Warrior Caste's food. Add some polonium to that, dudes. Problem solved.

Since we’re also discussing objectives - I’m a little unclear how we meet calling in the Legion or letting the Coyotes call for help. Is that just from killing jamming units or do we have to go somewhere? I’d prefer not to have the team commit to moving somewhere like the Coyote compound without knowing that will achieve the objective for sure.

Eh, that just folds back into the whole setting conceit about major events being decided by a dude in a stompy robot. Just like all the other things that would solve a problem better than sending giant robots.

Not all of them, some of them are solved by a giant robot pilot who's not currently in his robot getting into a fight with another giant robot pilot.

Several major plot points were solved by an assassin at 2km, several more with poison, and one very notable one was solved by a goddamned ninja attack.

Difficult to commit to a tactic without a long-term strategy. But we have to do something. PTN sometimes cheekily hides objectives in the fluff, maybe someone should mine his post for clues. I'm not good at subtlety, so it needs to be someone clever. In the meantime, let's follow Manny's lead. I'll walk into 0719, face 0818 and give the target at 1515 both barrels. And I'll turn off shields, because I don't see any PPCs (yet). Form up on me, maybe my AMS might offer some protection from missiles.

I suppose, though that's not a particularly high bar. They're under HPG interdiction as it is, so the Society doesn't even have to do galactic scale Weekend at Bernie's shenanigans to keep the rest of the Sphere from realizing anything is amiss, they kinda just purge everybody in secret and become the new Great House.

PTN is setting up a potential Society vs Blakist situation here that would be amazing even if you didn't have Amaris in place on the border.

Oh, I have every faith in PTN to set up an interesting story. I'm just being selfish and bitter (and eternally pessimistic!) about a faction I like going on the pyre to do it.  We'll get a good show after the time skip one way or the other.

I don't know, given that PTN has written them as surprisingly competent in this timeline, it's entirely possible that the Cappies might have spotted the impending backstab coming and moved to counter it. Maybe we'll even get a sweet Death Commandos vs. the Society mission later on down the line.

I mean, that one scientist we got to see his point of view seemed to genuinely happy working for the CapCon. And the CapCon leadership isn't really going to suddenly be upset if their scientists specialize in genociding specific groups of people. As long as those people aren't Cappellan leadership. Hell, it probably gets you better funding.  :"I'm researching a gene plague that kills entire targeted bloodlines, but I need more resources."  :

Yeah, most of the research that the Society was so gung-ho about pushing was stuff that the Warrior Caste shut down because it didn't match the Clan Warrior Ethos. The Capellan Confederation is very unlikely to be saying "no, don't research that, it's terrible and dishonorable and unethical." They're much more likely to say "Yes, research that because it's terrible and dishonorable and unethical."

Night10194 posted:The Society was upset about their work being disrespected, being told to throw it out, and having it spit upon. Yeah, it'll be the Society with slightly lower-tech base but a lot more economic support. And totally dependent upon backing their scientists as the best hedge against ComStar. The really interesting question is whether at some point these scientists are going to encourage Capcon to liberate some of their colleagues from the Clan worlds, or whether the Society gets forced to flee and find out there's a safe place where they can prove the people who exiled them were entirely wrong. I'd say the only way the Capcon leadership ends up deposed by the Society is if their AI goes rampant and takes over.
