				I just did the math and such (read: BT nerd) If you want the Highlander to have a boosted Jump profile, it needs at least a 360-rated Engine, and even then, its maximum speed will only be 64 Kph, with a maximum jump distance of 120 metres (30 metres per jet)<br><br>Of course, a 360-rated engine is stupid-heavy (IIRC, it's around 33 tons, while a 270-rated, what the Highlander defaults to is around 13 tons), so in order to fit one, you need to either A: strip 20 tons of weapons and armour, or B: get an XL engine, and strip 3.5 tons. 5.5 if you want the 4th jump jet. Swapping an LRM-10 in for the -20 saves a total of 5 tons, so the Highlander's overweight by half a ton.

				We are not too well off as a Merc Company because of our odd Mechs. The King Crab and Sling probably takes a lot of maintenance. But we have a dropship and a secure landfall on the planet, a sort of Command Base some way away from the mission target. Our work force is rather small but efficient. More info like this will be posted on the Briefing Page once I get it all in order.

Most battles are very short affairs that end with mission kills, rather than outright destruction of a war machine. After the fighting is over, the winners in the area get to send in the technicians and flatbeds to strip the wrecked machines of parts, weapons, ammo, various fluids, etc. and salvage pretty much everything else. One can even jury-rig cockpits from other 'mechs in the case of head destruction, given enough time and effort.<br><br>Long tom artillery is, well... hefty. The smallest mobile Long Tom is a tracked 'road train' of a crawler, 6 trailers, and the cannon itself lays on the roof of the crawler and the motor trailer. The other 5 trailers are ammo. It takes a LOT of effort to set up and fire, it spits out one shell every 10 seconds, but it has a 90 metre blast diametre on impact.

				We definitively have no choppers or Long Toms.&nbsp; :P<br><br>It's up to every individual I guess to determine how long they have been in the company. Walter has probably been in it for a very long time I'd reckon about 10-15 years.

				Seven years or so. Between his age and the fact that a reasonable chunk of successful missions for the company during his tenure have ended with his 'Mech with more armour on its back than on its front, some of the techs and such would probably consider him a bit of a good luck charm; as long as enemies are shooting at the Slab-sided Awesome instead of the more fragile lighter mechs, the company is going to come home as safely as he can arrange it.

				Actually a lot of other stuff happens too (I'm on my phone so it's going yo be brief), your speed slows down a lot, weapons aren't able to transverse between underwater and out of water, and if water hits your endoskeleton and mymer it shorts the limb (or torso, and if you lose your torso you lose the corresponding limbs).<br><br>So it can be pretty bad to fight in water.<br><br>Matt

				Being underwater would also mean people can't shoot at you...I'm just looking at approach angles on the map like I said, and wondering if all of us without Jump Jets would be stuck walking down that narrow killzone on the south side, or if we could go through/under the water on the west and keep the base itself between us and the majority of the fixed defenses (and easier kills on the 'Mech bays and their contents).

				they may have reentered production at 3037 but are still uncommon (also the wolfhound Phelan drove while a new design was still outfitted with the original weaponry...also Dan Allard drove one in the Warriors trilogy so it's not that new), especially when there are 17 flanking this air field as turrents.&nbsp; Now I don't know what the target really is, or what planet this is...it could be a super secret installation.&nbsp; I just find it hard to believe that they would be ER Large Lasers instead of LL with some Tanks or Mechs.<br><br>Also what are the SAM sites, LRM's?&nbsp; There aren't really missile systems are are just for anti-air...so I'm expecting anything that can be shot at a plan to be able to be shot at us.<br><br>Matt

				If the blue/white zones are mountains, that's almost as good - we can approach from the southwest, take out the turrets on top of that mountain and be able to use it as cover against direct fire as we climb - at the top, we'll have the high ground against anything in the base.

The Hole Economy of Battletech<br><br>The first thing you must realize is that roughly 90% of all economic activity, all GDP in Battletech is hole-related.&nbsp; Understand that GDP is roughly the market value of all final goods and services produced in a place in a year.<br><br>It just so happens that 90% of those involve the products and services required by the hole industry, nearly evenly split between hole digging and hole filling.&nbsp; (These activities are not evenly split due to some environmental factors that result in self-filling holes in some areas)&nbsp; This hole digging and hole filling process is remarkably inefficient due to the need to do it by hand... bare-handed.&nbsp; Gloves, tools, and especially mechanical assistance are not possible for reasons to be explained below.&nbsp; Another thing you must realize is that economic output is quite low per capita as well.&nbsp; It is not well known, but many worlds, and many settlements are not on prime hole-digging ground.&nbsp; Many areas are toxic, rocky, frozen, or marshy.&nbsp; Holes either don't get dug, or never get filled, resulting in holes dug outnumbering holes filled.&nbsp; In order to resolve this paradox, bodies of water are often filled as an acceptable substitute.<br><br>Now, 9% of ecnomic activity is spent feeding everyone and supplying the necessities of life - hovels, nutrient paste, and tepid water recycled from things you don't want to know about.&nbsp; Similarly, almost all of this activity is done by hand.&nbsp; No power machinery, no draft animals, many times, not even tools or simple muscle-powered machines.&nbsp; You haven't seen inefficient until you've seen a flour mill powered by peasants running in a giant hamster wheel, and realizing that half the peasants are running in the wrong direction.<br><br>0.9% are allocated to nobles.&nbsp; This is used to do normal noble-like stuff... things like paying people to dig your holes for you, building palaces in inaccessible locations, paying for expensive prostitutes that they will never be able to satisfy, and importing dirt from exotic places to fill their noble holes with.<br><br>0.1% is actually spent on government administration.&nbsp; ALL of it.&nbsp; I mean, intelligence, political bodies, administration, taxation, policing, welfare, pensions, expense accounts... all of it is 0.1%, and of that the military gets umm... 10% since they're the ones with the pointy sticks.<br><br>Military spending?&nbsp; Roughly 0.01% of GDP so far.&nbsp; And even that is further diluted.<br><br>Once you discount graft, corruption, outright theft, leakage, and accidents, the effective amount the military receives... requires scientific notation to properly express.&nbsp; The militaristic Draconis Combine's edge is statistically insignificant.&nbsp; 150% of crap-all is still rounded down to crap-all.&nbsp; And you must remember, 90% of economic activity is in the form of holes.&nbsp; People are paid in holes, and their selection of goods mostly comprises of holes.&nbsp; Imagine one hole-digger recieving his wages...<br><br>"Why, I seem to have received a payment today! I think I will buy some holes.&nbsp; Perhaps a square one for my dear son to fill.&nbsp; And maybe a deep one for my wife.&nbsp; Lord knows she's needed a new hole for a while now!"<br><br>SO, that's the economy wrapped up, what about the population?&nbsp; I mean, there are enough people on mosth planets to physically carry away a typical invading force!&nbsp; What's the deal there?<br><br>Well... the inhabitants of the Battletech setting are not quite like you and I (I hope).&nbsp; For one thing, they are incredibly, irredeemably dense.&nbsp; We're talking depleted-uranium levels here.&nbsp; Autocannon shells made out of their skulls are able to penetrate adamandium IIC faster than a sailor on shore leave... never mind.<br><br>Now, it just so happens that 90% of the population consists of born and bred hole-diggers and hole-fillers.&nbsp; This is what their ma and pa did before them, and this is what their mas and pas did before too.&nbsp; These people are an amazing testament to the powers of natural and artificial selection... and not in a good way. Day in, day out, you can rely on these folks to dig and fill holes... with their hands.&nbsp; Frankly, they cannot be trusted with pointy sticks, or even sticks in general, let alone proper shovels.&nbsp; One ambitious Word of Blake governor hoped to revolutionize hole digging by introducing the lostech of shovels.&nbsp; The resulting carnage was...horrific enough that no one dares speak the planet's name anymore.&nbsp; These folks are not ones you voluntarily put in your armed forces.&nbsp; They have devolved to the point where they cannot be trusted with pointy sticks, and they are a constant menace to themselves and all around them.&nbsp; Due to necessity, these are unfortunately the bulk of your troops, but only because you have no choice.&nbsp; On the bright side, since hole digging is wholesome, healthy, character-building exercise, you can expect your hole-digging peons to live long, productive lives, digging many, many holes on your behalf, which you will sell in order to pay them their pension in terms of sweet, filthy fill lucre.<br><br>The next largest group at 9% are the farmers. They are barely able to keep everyone fed, and as a consequence, everyone is perpetually riding on the cusp of a Malthusian trap.&nbsp; You can't spare any farmers for the armed forces because if you did, you'd starve.&nbsp; If these guys were smart enough to demand tractors of solid germanium, you'd have to try and find them because they keep the hole diggers fed, and if they don't keep digging and filling holes, your hole economy would collapse like a man with a shovel through his heart.<br><br>0.9% are middle-class professionals and merchants.&nbsp; These guys got to where they are because they realized that the pointy end of the stick faces away from you, meaning that they're generally bright enough to avoid military service, and most of them are too important to the existance of your realm to draft them.&nbsp; However, some with have delusions of glory, fantasies of grandeur, or are otherwise foolish or stupid enough to think that joining the military will be a grand old time.&nbsp; These guys make up about 1% of your serving military.<br><br>0.1% of the population are the nobility and assorted high-and-mighty folks.&nbsp; 99% of them are too smart, too stupid, too inbred, too drunk, or too important to be of any use.&nbsp; 1% of them (0.001% of total population) are smart enough to tell which end of the stick is pointy, but not smart enough to do something productive, and jusssst inbred enough to fantasize about being mounted knights encased in bipedal war machines, perpetuating a new age of heraldic chivalry.&nbsp; They make up all of your mechwarriors, pilots, and senior officers, and actually outnumber the middle-class recruits.<br><br>The military is not only tiny, but 99.9% of its personnel are also staggeringly inept, stupid, corrupt, and delusional.<br><br>The last 0.1% are capable, honest, hardworking folks who hold everything together.&nbsp; 100% of them regret ever enlisting and are watching the calender as their discharge date slowly gets closer.<br><br>No matter how you slice it, life is nasty, brutish, and short because people happen to be mean, inept, and stupid.&nbsp; And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the numbers can all be true without contradicting each other.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div></div>

				Should be easy enough anyway. Remote drop-clips are as old as the airplane. Say the explosive is clipped somewhere on the mech and can be dropped and detonated from within the cockpit.

				Interestingly, the King Crab was used as a testbed for 'clanbuster' configurations; its testbed swapped out the AC/20s for a pair of gauss rifles for extreme-range punch. It worked fine as a stopgap, until the IS industrial base made dedicated clanfucker mechs.

				Yeah, no one has really gotten video game mech combat completely right...but then again no neurohelmet and it would be hard to give you two crosshairs to control weapon groups seperately.&nbsp; Even in the PnP game they don't quite deal with the heat the same way they do in the books (unless you are playing with solaris 7 rules....those increase all heat by a factor of 4, I think), even heat efficent mechs in the books over heat easily.<br><br>Warriors Trilogy spoiler...<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">So the reason I suggested the Warriors Trilogy first is because if you read the Blood of Kerensky trilogy, Justin Allard-Liao pops up often and they talk about him being a double agent the entire time.</div></div><br>Oh also in Wolves on the Boarder they elaborate the scene in the second book where Jamie Wolf walks in on Takashi Kurita.<br><br>Hope you enjoyed them.<br>Matt

				Basically, the Crab and the Awesome do the same job, in different ways; they're both Area-denial units.<br><br>A lot of people are (justifably) scared of the Autocannon 20; with the crab having Two of them, It turns a 270-metre radius circle around it into a 'Do not enter' zone, at the cost of at least 29 tons invested in the guns and ammo. Its at-range profile, however, is embarassingly bad, with only a single large laser for mid-range poking, and an LRM-15 rack for mosquito-bite attacks.<br><br>The Awesome, in comparison, has 28 tons invested in its Four PPCs (21 and three if you're in the original 8Q), giving its 'bubble of doom' twice the reach of the autocannon for the same total damage output, but the PPC has issues focusing within 90 metres; It's an exceptional sniper, but urban combat is Not the awesome's favourite thing in the world.<br><br>Thus the whole 'hammer and anvil' playbook. Scare out the defenders with something bigger than them, cause them to run under the guns of the two biggest Area-Denial units in the area and watch the parts fly. Considering that Alton and Erich have been in the company ofr around 7 years, each, they probably have the playbook down to a science.<br><br>Amusingly, between the Awesome, the 2K Shadow Hawk, and the Marauder, the company's remarkably PPC-heavy. 7 of the Man-made Lightning Cannons so far.

				Damn near heat neutral, actually; the 2K has 17 heat sinks, so it can Fire its PPC and frog about with its jumpjets all day and never have a heat curve above 'next to nothing'. The LRM has a miniscule Heat profile as well, so an Alpha-strike and jump would, at most put out 14 heat, with 17 sinks to drop it down to 'slightly warmer'<br><br>Edit: Personally, I prefer the 2K version that was in the original 3025 Tech Readout; it simply swapped the AC/5 for the PPC, and added 2 heat sinks, so, while it ran hotter, it retained the SRM-2 and Medium laser for up-close combat, which the modern version of the 2K does not have.<br><br>Note; the 'old' 2K, in an alpha-strike and jump would hork out, roughly, 18 heat, and sink 14.

				Clarifications: <br><br>Walter sent the intel to Lance Leaders only. It's up to them to chose if they decide to pass on the knowledge to the rest of the team. As such only the Lance Leaders have such information as the comm-lock and invasion.<br><br>The comm-lock is still in effect but was lifted on the Bastion and unit.

Keep unit cohesion and communications in mind. Lance Leaders can commune with each other but the others cannot communicate with a pilot from another Lance. These limitations have been put in effect so that rather than a whole bunch of people sending messages across the whole board, there are instead four groups communicating within each other; the three lances and the lance leaders.

				Might be a good idea to tally the destruction caused so far, too. Eg. Erich's slagged the two turrets flanking the main road, and his lancemates are running rampant in a sweep with Erich anchoring the Right flank to the hangars, to link properly with the Recon lance as support.

				If all your missiles hit. :P<br><br>Honestly, the Awesome isn't feared because of its size (It's 'light' for an Assault chassis), or because of its appearance (Brick on brick-like-legs with bricky arms and big radiator vanes for shoulders) But because the only way you can reliably reduce its damage output is by pounding through its 15.5 tons (max for its chassis) of armour and hoping you hit one of the PPCs, or damage the engine enough to force a mission-kill.<br><br>The fact that its range is only exceeded by LRMs, Autocannon 2's, Gauss Rifles, and the 'large' Family of ER weapons, which are comparatively uncommon means that its well-earned reputation of being a sniper's dream, combined with the staying power to make most anything lighter than it to back off or risk being ruined by a near-constant volley of PPC fire. (for example; Erich can alphastrike, while not moving, for 15 turns; roughly 150 seconds, before the heat buildup forces an automatic shutdown. 10 seconds after that, the Awesome will have dumped enough heat to restore power to all power draws, and he can resume firing all weapons for 14 more turns before shutting down again.)

				The only thing I'd mention is rate of fire...going by 'Solaris' rules most large weapons (PPCs, Large Pulse Lasers, ERPPCs, and ER LL) take about 6-7 seconds to cycle, everything else is lower (lrms are about 5 seconds, srms are about 2-3 seconds, machine guns are 0).&nbsp; <br><br>these are probably close to what you'd expect/see from teh video games but I never timed it so I don't know for sure.<br><br>Other wise things looked good<br><br>Matt

				Honestly, I'm using MWO rules, mixed with 'Classic' BT rules; a full 'turn', while the actions are simultaneous, (eg; moving and firing at the same time, instead of move, stop, twist, fire, dump heat) still takes 10 seconds; For example, the MGs on the Locust can spray ammo for the entire 10 seconds as suppressive fire, even while the 20-tonner is scarpering about like someone lit its backside with a NARC pod, and it still only counts as one use of MG ammo for each MG that's firing.<br><br>The only affectation I have, personally, is that the Heatsinks only go to 'full dump' after weapon discharge, so, for the second or two after a Big 'Mech unloads, until the heatsinks dump the waste heat, well, as shown in my last IC post, pretty much everything within 20 feet thaws out from the sheer radiant energy pouring out. (Lighter 'mechs, and weapons, naturally produce less heat; the locust, due to having No heat curve at all due to its engine having 10 'sinks, and it only being able to produce, at maximum, 5 heat units, might melt a bit of snow under its feet, while a Walking Sauna like a Marauder, as it warms up in a 'long' battle could, eventually, heat the local area more completely than the Awesome can.

				The only thing anyone has ever said is that she's acting suicidally...that's not rude, it's accurate. It's a very Kuritan thing to do, a samurai dying before they'll allow their fallen lord to be captured, killed, or desecrated...but it's still suicidal. <br><br>At this point, I think you're really overreacting here. It's not too late to change your mind and stay in the game, I doubt anyone actually wants you to leave, but that's going to require you at least understand where we are coming from rather than taking such serious offense this way.

I'm rather happy with how you have conveyed things so far, I was afraid you would rofl-stomp them, which is why I picked out Walter so early. You seemed to take the hint and I'm very enthusiastic about it.<br><br>Just mind your words, people, at least in the OOC. It's a game of fiction. Nothing worth getting upset over.

				I've been discussing with the mods to organize a sub-forum for us. I am thinking of expanding the operation, as it were, to allow more players in more lances on more missions. Since we seem to have a pretty solid fan-base lurking about I thought with a bit of innovation and dedication we could take off a multi-mission company with an overarching plot-line. Once we hit 1000 IC posts (not if, I'm confident!) we'll be able to take the BattleTech RP to a new level.<br><br>Would you be interested in realizing my little project? Do you think you could push it to 1000 posts and beyond? Your opinions and suggestions are very much valuable to this proto-project.

				Find some co-DMs or parallel DMs as a first point of priority, people you think you can rely on. We're already a huge player group, the more you try to manage the higher your odds of personally burning out are (or if you just develop legitimate RL issues).

We're already a huge player group, the more you try to manage the higher your odds of personally burning out are (or if you just develop legitimate RL issues). With a coordinated multiple-DM setup, each DM has a smaller individual workload, and there's redundancy if one drops out.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Indeed, this is one of the point I had already worked on. I was thinking about using Lance-Leaders as a title to appoint co-DM. Thus far it has only been a way to shift leadership among the group, for example I wanted to have other LL's during the next part of the mission. Perhaps that would become a more permanent thing if I get to spin this on.<br><br>I am at the moment working on a separate thread for developing this further, listing stuff that I have already thought of and stuff that I could use help figuring out.<br><br>I think we can have Elisa and Erich join with Walter now to push the plot along.

				<br><br>To diverge back to the actual game for a second, I just finished reading Wolves On The Border, and noticed something odd - the Wolves only use their&nbsp; native Clan accents in total privacy with each other where they're certain no one outside the unit will ever hear them, and fake normal Inner Sphere accents when anyone is listening. So it wouldn't really make sense for our group to recognize the accent of our Elemental friend here as being similar to that of the Wolves, since they avoid talking native.<br><br>Of course, we can just ignore that, but it jumped out at me.

If I have to change every error and check every single novel before I post pretty much anything, this game will become a really slow one. So far I have found a whole lot of errors after the fact but haven't bothered to change them around, mostly because you have not noticed and if you peeps haven't it can't be that important. That and the BT-series of novels have a hard enough time to keep up continuity as it is, I'm not researching that canon-nightmare anymore than I take everything in a nation's history as an absolute fact.<br><br>Until my brain is replaced with a computer you'll have to accept that I neither memorize nor hold any canon holy.

Also convenience of the plot.<br><br>I will post the debrief in an hour regardless if you have parked your 'Mech and put the ticket in the wind-shield. I apologize if it seems rushed, but in a game with these many players I must be allowed to presume that none of you stayed on the planet as the Bastion took off and push it along. The show must go on. Don't worry, we got some downtime before the next mission, which will feature... BattleMech adversaries! *gasp*<br><br>EDIT: In other news, one of the developers of MechWarrior Online apparently frequents my Merc Company's TeamSpeak-server whenever he has time. He liked my idea of extending the range of ECMs to 750m and adding a 0.1/sec area of effect damage to it. Life is strange sometimes.

				Just an observation, but I'm a bit worried about the dour mood of the group after that debriefing.&nbsp; Human nature is generally going to make people in a situation like that go off alone and not want to be interactive with people.&nbsp; Unfortunately, in an RP setting, that tends to break down stories.&nbsp; Any chance we can create an event that will bring people back together?&nbsp; <br><br>I'm working on a post for Ranna, just having some RL issues with family and muse so it's taking a bit longer.

				&nbsp;:-[ thanks... *offer accepted*<br><br>the good news is that my kitten's (Sarah, 5 months...I have another cat Lucy who's 7 years old) stitches held over the weekend.&nbsp; She was spayed on Friday and as soon as I got her home she began to occasionally nip at them so most of my weekend was watching her to make sure she didn't pull them out.&nbsp; I was going to try and put a cone on her when I went to bed but after fighting with her for an hour and a half I realized that wasn't going to happen (I lack an extra hand...which is also what makes trimmer her claws so difficult).&nbsp; So I've been worrying for much of the last couple of days that she'd pull them out while I was sleeping or at work.&nbsp; I'm less concerned now...<br><br>that was stress point one...two as it often does involves a woman (not to sound too Noir-y), without getting into too much of the long backstory it looks like we broke up and quite possibly never really got back together to begin with.&nbsp; So now I have to decide if I want to try dating again (a prospect I've never enjoyed) or just wait and I don't know.&nbsp; I don't want her to breakup with the woman she's now seeing, as I want her to be nothing but happy...BUT at the same time we've both said on several occasions that we still really care about each other and neither of us really have a good idea what's up (or possibly could be up).&nbsp; And even if we did get back together (or something gets worked out, somehow) I don't know how to solve the other two issues; she can't move up to Janesville where I live (for different reasons than me...), and that to pursue her dream/desires of going to mortuary school she'd have to move to Chicago or Houston.&nbsp; I would have an easier time moving to the Chicago-land area and keep my current job (which I also love), but all cases I still own a condo here and that alone would make moving difficult...(this all happened sunday evening)<br><br>So in the end things kind of suck, I have little real control over the way things play out, and it's no one's fault...it's just life...<br><br>so, yeah, things sucked this weekend...but my cats are both doing well and Sarah still cuddles up next to me purring up a storm at 2:00 am (Lucy's a princess who comes by to be pet while I'm trying to drift off to sleep upon entering bed), so there's that.<br><br>...Thanks...

				To clarify some points:<br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>While Perkins is ready to kill to preserve his investments, that is not the first thing he'll do. There is a whole bunch of steps before the whole-sale murder begins, one of them being dropping the dissenters off on a world and moving on. He was merely putting to word the great length he would go through to get what he wants, not threatening to kill the whole crew.</li><li>Nothing is going to happen to Walter. Perkins values him as an old friend of fifteen years, but he also values him on an asset-level. In his current condition Walter isn't fit to command on the frontlines. Equally so, while he seem to be in a low mood, Walter isn't the type to commit suicide or anything like that. Life is worth a lot more than piloting a 'Mech to him.</li><li>As to my why pushing Walter to the side, I didn't feel that I was playing him right. I realized pretty early on during our mission briefing that I was playing him up more like an NPC than a PC. I was thinking on the level of a DM with him, even finding myself using meta-information to put up the mission plan, which is really bad. Too many points were raised where Walter just basically said "Because I know, shut up" which felt really terrible after hand. So I'm pulling him off the field for a while. He'll still be on the Bastion and later on the [CLASSIFIED] as the Company Commander and will probably have some McGuffin-Resurrection of his 'Mech abilities later on. As such I am not aiming to command anymore missions, but rather work on the side, perhaps create a MechWarrior who can be subordinate on missions.</li></ul><br>Just to clarify a few points is all. I'm right now working on the further development of the game to allow more players and missions. In the meanwhile, INTERACT! Stop hiding, get to the boinking or whatever it is you do when not on missions!

				See, I like a lot of the <em>Battletech</em> novels, as long as you take the caveat that you're reading franchise fiction with its miserably low standards.

				so I hate to be a spoil sport but I dont know how Graff got to that meeting...I was waiting on KaylaM's next post to see what ended up happening.<br><br>the order of events as I see them is that after the meeting Graff went down the the mech bay and spend a few hours working with Elisa to replace a good ton or two of armor on his mech, then eat, got drunk and probably passed out in his bunk (since he's a lightweight when it comes to booze ).&nbsp; As the armor repair probably took a few hours by the time we left that put us out of sync with everyone else who was just wandering in as we left.<br><br>Matt

				Nope I understand and if Graff was awake for the initial announcement (and probably not drunk) he probably would have been there on time.&nbsp; It's just that I don't know how this sequence of events could have happened that day.&nbsp; Unless things happened out of post order, say mech repair, meeting, food/drunk, bed...although if things happened that way some things would have happened differently.<br><br>I do know that things happen at the speed of plot, I'm just lost in time at this moment.&nbsp; If a day has passed I was planning on having Graff visit his new mentor Erich.<br><br>Matt

				But Hartmann is so gentle...&nbsp; XD<br><br>By the way, I have the skip-post ready and will implement it somewhere between Christmas and New Years. Which will officially start the new mission. Consider Walt as not attending the meeting out of sheer exhaustion and paper work.<br><br>Also, here's some stuff to wrestle over:<br><br><em>1 Medium Pulse Laser<br>1 XL Fusion Engine, 290<br>2 ER Large Lasers<br>2 AC/10<br>2 PPC<br>3 Small Pulse Lasers<br>4 Medium Lasers<br><br>1 Guardian ECM suite<br>1 Artemis IV Fire Control System</em><br><br><br>As well as the Pay-roll for the mission put in a monthly pay (Repair-reduced):<br><br><strong>Erich - 19,000<br>Alroy - 18,050<br>Maho - 10,150<br>Elisa - 15,050<br>Graff - 10,300<br>Lilly - 15,050<br>Ranna - 14,000<br>Miyoko - 9,650<br>Yamina - 15,000<br>Hiro - 15,500</strong><br><br>Keep in mind that this is the salary after all repairs&nbsp; and refits are done. The average MechWarrior earns about 7,500 CB in a quite month (Such as the kind you will enjoy some during the trip to your next mission). Erich and Alroy earn more because of their veterancy in the group while Maho is on a cut because of her... individuality. Likewise Miyoko slagged some heatsinks which cause internal damage, which is more expensive to get fixed. Likewise walking into buildings is frowned upon. Yamina and Hiro earned a little extra for Light-pilots for their performance. Perkins is known as the sort who stuffs both sticks and carrots in the payroll, possibly to balance it out.<br><br>As such the total MechWarrior salary comes up to 141,750 after tax, so to speak. If you want to know the full earnings of the mission you will have to wrestle it out of Perkins. Keep in mind that a CB is approximately $3. I know what you are thinking, it's a bit short, but then again you are free to help yourself to the salvage and can requisition parts you think you could use. And once more, this is combat pay, the coming months will not bring nearly as much.

				Engine swaps in general take a few months; the XL swap is hilariously expensive, and considerably alters the torso profile of any 'mech that doesn't already have a classic 'barrel chest' such as most heavy or assault 'mechs; the spider, with its slim profile, will need its chassis drastically altered to fit an XL, which is where the 'couple million' figure comes in.

				My suggestion towards upgrading the Marauder is to, first and foremost, yank out the AC/5 and attendant ammo reserve, slap in a large laser, add 3 tons of armour, and upgrade the 'sinks to double freezers. That basically revokes the three largest flaws of the Marauder. A: No more 'Marauder Flaw' with the only internal target in the left torso being the ammo for the cannon. More Marauders have been blown to bits because of that flaw than have been mobility killed, I swear.<br><br>B: 16 DHS = 32 heat dissipation; with 2 PPC, 2 Mlas, and a LL, you're looking at 34 heat per alpha, instead of the original iteration's 27 heat with 16 freezers. Blindingly obvious why that's a good idea.<br><br>C: 3 more tons of armour means the Marauder can serve double duty as both a 'Hammer' and an 'Anvil'; with 14.5 tons of armour it'll be at or near the maximum load its internal structure can support, instead of being nearly out-armoured by the 50-ton hunchback, which is kinda shameful when the Marauder is half again as heavy as the HBK.<br><br>A tertiary reason is that, with no ammo requirements, the 'Mech can go on deep-strike missions without needing to withdraw for resupply.

				Oh I completely want to yank the ac/5 out of there, but I'd prefer the put a LPL in there for it's better accuracy even though it sacrifices range and puts it in line with his medium lasers it helps him fight in the medium and knife fight range (since his PPC completely exit the picture at short range).<br><br>but the DHS's are first to go in...<br><br>Matt

				From Miyokos standpoint. Ill put down my OOC standpoint later.<br><br>Miyoko&gt; remember she didnt watch the battle that closely, and no she didnt panic everything she did was deliberate. she decided it was better she die then the others and as such she didnt pay much attention to the exact specifics of what he did. then during the debrief when people attacked her she just shut down so she didnt watch the debrief closely so she wouldnt comment on anything that people say about what others did because she frankly wouldnt have a clue. <br><br>as for them having sex, that is just what she assumes. remember she has NO experience with sex and thinks she is this ugly thing no one wants, so of course she assumes everyone is having wild sex if they go off together. <br><br>and lastly yes to her he came off as rather pompus, a bit.. "i did nothing wrong" but never bothering to correct when someone else gets the blame for something they didnt do. <br><br>now from my standpoint (sara).<br><br>i agree, a few too many ooc knowledge things have crept into the game. both about this and the clans in general and the reaction to the elementals. tbh i would think people would react with more surprise and shock at the elementals. anyway..<br><br>as for how i saw his reaction, yes he comes off as arrogant but sure as heck not as a douchebag :) I think his reaction is perfectly in character as someone who gets told he done some things he never did and has the backbone to complain about it (unlike miyoko). i think it was very well written and comes across as a perfectly valid complaints against accusations that are not true.<br><br>

				So I thought the clan stuff was a little forced as well but oh well...(really you have the old star league prisoner's miranda's writes memorized...that a bit of a stretch)<br><br>So my first thought was that Hiro was horribly arrogant in his comments about Elementals, and a flamer probably wouldn't cause a group of them to run anywhere but towards you.&nbsp; It's pretty short range and at the point where it becomes effective they'd swarm you.&nbsp; Also with 10 points of armor and 1 for the pilot you'd need a 55 ton mech to crush one in one swoop...if you treat it like a kick...but they are faster and more nimble than any of us so that's not to likely to happen again.&nbsp; Plus there's still the fact that if you get on your back you're f'd, nor am I sure a mech could simply stop, drop, and roll like he suggested (I think...I remember it mentioned somewhere but can't find it exactly right now).&nbsp; But all in all I'm open to being wrong...same team and all.<br><br>Graff on the other hand is having a rare hangover, which is particularly bad for him since he rarely drinks and rarely gets them so he didn't really understand what was happening.<br><br>But with all of that said do I have a problem with how things played out...nope.&nbsp; Where's the fun if we are all B type personalities.<br><br>If you could do me one favor Vin, when you post someone else's speaking parts could you put it in a different color?&nbsp; The italicized bold is hard to distinguished form Hiro's own bold voice.&nbsp; Thank you.<br><br>Matt

				A flamer won't do anything but make an Elemental mad, but it'd be the perfect weapon for unarmored infantry.

				Basic plan is that, With Erich as Company command, his lance would be Himself, Alroy, Elisa, Lily, and Graff.<br><br>The Lightest 'mech in that lance is Lily's 65-ton axman, and all of them have a movement range between 53 and 64 Kph at max running speed. It's very much the 'Anvil' of the company; every 'mech can hit like a ton of bricks, and with 7 of the company's 8 PPCs in that lance, it has Brutal long-range firepower.<br><br>Recon would be Maho, Miyoko, Ranna, Yamina and Hiro.<br><br>It's more of a mix, but the Shadow hawk (Assuming it's modified to the original -2K version [14 heat sinks, Medium laser and SRM-2 kept on from the Original SHD for in-close fighting]) and Hatchetman are the 'bodyguard' mechs, while the three lights would be the outer screen; think of them like playing leapfrog; the light ones go out, look around, hide behind the bigger ones, everyone advances.<br><br>^^<br><br>is the current one

				What, you think a month of lessons on 'How to swat infantry' didn't also include 'How to swat light, unarmoured vehicles that are faster than you, in an urban environment'? It's time for Recon to show how well they absorbed the lessons Erich's been drilling into everyone's head for the last month or so.<br><br>Rule 1: Don't get pulled away from the rest of your force.<br><br>Rule 2: use vehicles to your advantage; if you can create a barricade by kicking a few empty cars across the street, do so; it'll frustrate any vehicular pursuit, and give you clear shots while they maneuver around, or away from the wreckage.<br><br>Rule 3: Don't be afraid to simply hose down an intersection with ammo; cratered roadways have a habit of making vehicles lose control, especially if they're moving at speed.<br><br>Rule 4: If all else fails, light them on fire.<br><br>Rule 5: There is no such thing as overkill; If you need to, swat a soldier with a PPC; his ashes will thank you for the mercy-kill.

				Well, I got my first game of Battletech in today, and I don't think I'll ever get a match quite that good again.<br><br>Myself in a Hunchback, and three friends with an Enforcer, Trebuchet, and Vindicator, 4-way free-for-all. All of us learning the rules as we went along, so of course both of the jump-jet mechs wanted to do flying dragon kicks (yay for DFA rules) from hilltops - they spent 5 consecutive turns trying to DFA each other from adjacent hexes, repeatedly missing and falling over, while I chased the Trebuchet in circles around a lake...the board wasn't big enough for him to range on me with the LRMs and still keep out of my run+AC20 range, and he couldn't go into the left half of the board without exposing himself to the dueling jump-jetters. The Vindicator ended up with his left arm, left leg, and left torso all destroyed independently before taking any damage to right or center, propping himself up on the PPC and sniping with the head ML. I finally took out the Trebuchet with an internal ammo crit that vaporized him, right before the Enforcer spent his last load of AC10 ammo to blow off my right leg. He managed to get to his feet despite gyro damage and a failed DFA, at which point the Vindicator blew his head off from behind, and three more turns of our two prone mechs shooting at each other to no avail ensued. The vindicator finally passed his Pilot roll to stand up, at which point my second-to-last AC-20 load scored at long range and headshot him. I won via last-mech-<em>standing</em>crawling, no armor, no ammo, and one leg.

				I have enjoyed you greatly vin, sorry to hear that you are getting so much pressure from work. I will most likely put Hiro down in this mission if you are sure about leaving. My door will always be open for you if you return at a later date! Good luck with work and sorry that the combat brought you down, it's probably my fault for being so lax about it.&nbsp; :P<br><br>Attack on the lights coming up once they reach urban areas. Until then I'm waiting for the Assault lance to enter the facility, don't be shy!

The fact that roughly 80% of Liaos are crazier than a swarm of shithouse rats doesn't help much, as there's more internal paranoia and 'reporting' on neighbours than preparing for the inevitable conflict with the Militaristic Imperialist Davions, who use war to prop up their otherwise shitty economy, or the Inevitable border clashes with the provinces of the FWL, which are a microcosm of the Successor States as a whole, only with more crazy-ass fundies in control post 3052.<br><br>But, the core point is that the CCAF is the kickee of choice by most Military units because it has around 30% of the military force its four larger 'siblings' have; It just has unparalleled strategic flexibility because 2 jumps takes you from one border to the other. CCAF Morale is generally in the toilet because Romano Liao makes Charles Manson look stable.

				Digging through the sourcebooks, It's stated that the Raven's primary job is electronic warfare and countermeasures, not long-range communications. If you want long-range comms, hop into an OstScout, Phoenix Hawk, Marauder, Cyclops, or Atlas.<br><br>(Ie; Dedicated Scouting, Equipped with the BattleComm shielded communication array x2, Dedicated Command, and Dedicated 'Big man on campus')

				I haven't been able to put up a map yet since my computer is newly reinstalled and I haven't found my Photoshop disc yet. Seeing as the mission is about halfway done I think I won't bother with a map right now, but certainly for the next one. The inbetween-time will be much longer this time, so I will have some proper time to prepare the mission as well as giving you all a chance for bonding.<br><br>Right now I am waiting for mvo33 to arrive at Hangar 12 at which point Varyag will join up and the retreat will begin, unless you feel like raiding the expo.

				Anyhow, there happens to be a big nasty fight going on at the moment, and Erich's on the losing end due to already having taken internal damage earlier before the 'arrival' of Godot. The Crab's the closest because it's about as slow as molasses in January, so I think Alroy would ~love~ to get kill credit (or even Assist credit) on bagging a brand-shiny-new 100-ton St. Ives Assault 'mech that went turncoat.<br><br>As for the Unit name, until Erich gets killed, it's going to be called Stone's Hussars. Need to stroke that ego a bit.<br><br>And, as for the MRBC score, honestly, I'd rate the unit as a B- (probationary); having lost all but 2 of its original cadre, it's basically a brand-new unit, for better or worse, but it has a core of near-elite pilots, its own dropship, possibly aerospace support, and possibly a jumpship on retainer, all of which make it highly-desired.

				So, as we all know, most Mechwarriors (read: anyone that's never fought an Awesome, Grasshopper, Or any other 'mech nicknamed a 'Zombie') don't really have an accurate sense of how much damage a true 'Zombie' can take without being killed; like the nickname's namesake, you can only kill a Zombie by taking apart its head, or destroying its torso entirely.<br><br>Estimated battle damage, for the Brick, is going to show what a real 'zombie' can take and keep going. :P

				I think the rest of Godot's lance is more concerned about the fact that their Lance leader is getting his ass chumped by two heavyweights, one of which already had internal breaches, after he bragged about killing a pair of light 'mechs that were caught by surprise. Good way to crush morale is to simply pound the biggest braggart of the lance into the dirt, after all.

				ECM is a tricky bitch, but the guardian system is 'smart' enough to only screw with sensors and Targeting and Tracking; it can only overlay comms with static, which sufficient transmission power can punch through, but it's not a universal blanket; the user of the ECM tends to choose which channels to jam, so an ECM 'mech can stay in contact with the rest of his or her force while playing merry havoc with the enemy's sensors.

				So I'm still happily chewing though the novels, and accidentally ended up skipping a few (just finished Bred For War). In particular, I missed the first of the Camacho's Caballeros trilogy. Given the main character is described as having a hobby of soloing Battlemechs on foot, are these something I want to be reading, or is it better left untouched?

				The Cabbaleros Trilogy is amazing, and you deserve to read it; Cassie takes down 'mechs on foot not with brute force, but with guile, stealth, and being suicidally brave. (eg. making a Wolverine fall over by spot-welding its knee joint with a downed power line stuck to a broom handle, that she threw at the knee just before the 55-tonner was going to step on her)<br><br>Admittedly, it's only a 'hobby' because she is ~very~! mentally and emotionally broken, and a large part of the story is her trying to come to terms with her past, and all the horrible things that happened to her. (eg; Maskirovka soldiers using her as a sex doll from the age of 9 to around 14 or so)

				Way I see it; Defiance dropped of the grid, but her commander (Erich) would try to contact her if she were still in line of sight to an allied unit; now that the company's (mostly) extracted from the mission, Defiance has slipped off into the night to reappear whenever you see fit. That's it, that's all, no more mention of the Black Knight, because, as far as I'm concerned, she's decided to stay on-planet and didn't bother telling anyone until she had an opportune chance to slip away while the rest of the assault lance was tied up either babysitting Varyag, or playing 'Hammer the Pillager into dust'

				It's a reasonable IC mistake to make, since you know there are Gauss rifles on the field. But the Atlas model that mounts one is a Combine creation that won't be introduced for at least another year, and probably a few more till they get into the hands of mercenaries.

				Erich's using open (non-military) comms, so everyone in the company, out of the company, and trying to shoot at him likely heard him.

Anybody got a sitrep for me? @.@<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>I'll spit out a sitrep for you, then.<br><br>At the Research Base (2 Kilometres North of Museum); Erich and Alroy have taken severe damage, but are outside the wall, with Walt (in a Rommel 'Clanbuster' Variant Tank). The Neutral Raven (Phaia) and Kismet are still inside the wall of the reserach base, with orders to run like their panties are on fire. Defiance has up and disappeared, and Graff is on the last leg of his escort duties, with orders to return to Erich's position as 'Rearguard' with the Neutral Orion that just used Indirect LRM fire to kablam a bunch of fuel trucks to distract the Research Base's forces.<br><br>Inside the City, still, is Maho, near the Power plant which she just kablammed; she's closest to what's left of the Locust and Spider, so Erich just told her to check for survivors; If they're dead or too wounded to move, well, she'll have to leave them, and the company will pay ransom if the two are still alive and unable to be extracted.<br><br>Outside the City is Miyoko and Ranna, who have Orders to go to the Forest's Edge rendezvous point and blast anything with a hostile IFF that pokes their nose out at the company's extraction point. (Eg; everything that's NOT the company, Neutral units, or Walt's tank) Of note is that Miyoko appears to have gone Kuritan in mind again, and is assuming that the mission was a suicide run, instead of just having the universe's worst Intelligence. And yes, Erich's LIVID at the lack of intel, and Perkins deliverately withholding intelligence regarding support.<br><br>Damage-wise, Erich's Awesome is only standing through sheer willpower and guts; anyone that's not seen a classic 'Zombie-Mech' in action will get a good look at what one looks like when it comes out the 'winner' of having a Reinforced Battalion Dogpile it. Alroy's Crab has taken mostly light damage to the front, but ate a Gauss round into an ammo bay; the left torso and arm are effectively disabled due to severed control conduits and internal structure damage. The arm's still attached, mind, just about as useful as Nipples on a Crocodile.<br><br>Kismet's taken light damage to her armour, and is at around half ammo. Graff's taken even less damage due to being on Escort duty, but is happily tangling with two Trebuchets, and his AC-5 has a jam; I expect him to win, but get banged up in the process; How much of a bang it'll be is up to how much the Orion nearby supports him.<br><br>Recon lance has taken next to no damage; light armour damage to all three Recon lance survivors, with the Shadow Hawk's right leg having taken the worst of it, through it still has armour to guard its joints; No recon 'mech has taken internal damage.<br><br>The Support has taken minimal damage, in part due to being 'late to the party'; the Raven has taken some light damage due to being peppered with LRMs from one of the three Atlas' in pursuit of Assault Lance, the Orion is undamaged, though he had a near-miss caused by Perkins being a shithead and not telling anyone that he had support lined up.<br><br>The Opposition is not looking healthy either; Erich's killed 6 Cataphracts and the Pillager, and has 'damage' credits on another 5 cataphracts; there's a reason his 'mech is so chewed up. Alroy's killed at least two Cataphracts, possibly more, and has an Assist on the Pillager and one of the Atlas'. Lily, in her Axman, has killed at least two Cataphracts. Graff is tangling with two Trebuchets and splattered a Jenner earlier; I expect him to get at least one kill and an assist, possibly two kills. Recon Lance has, between them, killed the power to a city, blown up a half-dozen attack buggies, and Harlequin reminded a Vindicator (PPC, LRM-5, Medium Laser) that the Hatchetman is the Superior In-fighter.<br><br>So, basically, the Company has punched far above their weight, leaving, at most, 24 confirmed Enemy 'mechs hunting for them, 7 with damage ranging from tumbled Gyros and gravity-removed armour to amputated limbs and severe internal damage, and only two actually in combat with a member of the company. There's also approximately 6 to 12 'battle buggies' pretending to be a threat, but they're only a threat inside the city; on the open field between the city and the forest, anyone with a steady hand can turn the buggies into flaming wreckage with a few shots. (Personally, I'd assume there's a second Jenner and Second Vindicator lurking around as well, which puts the Enemy 'mech force up to an even 40 total 'mechs, of which 14 have been turned into scrap metal, at the cost of 50 tons of light 'mechs.)<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157975.msg7566440#msg7566440">Quote from: Phaia on 19-01-2013, 17:35:21</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Great when did it become night time...according to erich its predawn now...did we have one of those time shifts again?...</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Nope; mission started at Approximately 0300 Local time (3 AM), and it's now closer to 0530 or so; the actual shooting part has only been the last 15 minutes when things got Craaaazy.

				Wargtass, I am gonna be honest here. Megan has listened to the comms ..put together that this perkins lied to her and seth sbout what was going on...lied to the unit about the enemy strength and thier arrival...to get her to work for perkins now will cost him a years bonus minimum! She has no problem getting off at outreach and if he trys to kill her ...well he might find that harder then he thinks... She plans to file a formal complaint with the Merc Review and Bonding Commision. She see this perkins as a tin plated demi god with no idea other then the bottem line. He trys to evaluate her and she will slap him...She has yet to realize there doesnt seem to be a commander for the unit...Perkins over rides walter and doesnt tell erich anything... so it would seem that Perkins is the over all commander!<br><br>Trust me Megan is angry enough to not sign any contract he offers!<br><br><br>Now if you require a character to take that stuff from perkins ...i will be happy to create one that will bend over for him..she will be green and just happy as hell to get a ride...in a mech and from perkins!<br><br>Phaia

				Guys?<br><br>We're all obviously pissed off about this IC. Why, instead of resigning/rebelling/splitting up, are we not just ganging up on Perkins? We do have a brand-new electronics expert, I'm sure she could crack his bank accounts, and it's not like he has any authority over us besides his checkbook. We can space him, take his money and stuff, and promote a new leader...he's not indispensable, else we wouldn't need to take contracts.

				We're obviously not going to whack him while we're on the surface. But once we're back in space all bets are off, and Perkins is going to have to talk real fast to avoid the company of pissed-off mercenaries he's got on his hands. He's not the CO, just the paymaster.

				And that is what I have wanted to say for the whole Perkins debate put in a little more angry and demeaning words than that. That is why I have been a little cranky about the whole subject, because I couldn't express myself properly without spoiling the fun of later writing it IC.<br><br>As mvo33 so magnificently put it earlier, he's not really in charge. He pays the money, he commands the Orion, he gets the intel (not make it up, gets it from a third party). Blaming him for there being a Pillager on the field is like blaming Churchill for there being Nazis. And not even once did anyone consider that he's in his mid 60's and memory is the first thing to grow holes. You could probably yell at him for not telling about the newcomers, but he will just apologize for it sincerely and that is that. Of course I (the actual Wargtass) is to blame for not telling you about the newcomers.<br><br>Endline, don't go on a wholesome murder-campaign OOC for something that happens IC. I am so very sorry that Perkins is a dick, but he's not the Satan that you have painted him out to be. I have a whole Word-document's worth of why he isn't. Don't assume that he wants to fuck you over financially just because he's a capitalist. I am more upset over this than I should be, but quite frankly you know nothing about the character and you were just about planning his demise because you had to blame someone. And I really don't want to throw away this Word-document, it has an awesome format and everything.<br><br>//W

				Perkins paying the bills isn't an excuse to screw up like this, and the Pillager isn't like blaming Churchill for Nazis, it's like blaming Churchill for being able to arrange a sneak attack by the French Resistance without knowing that the Nazis have a tank brigade stationed in that town, while the Resistance are wearing stolen Nazi uniforms and the attacking Allied troops aren't told about the resistance troops.

You said he was the CO, but all we see IC is an asshole who screws up and blames us for it, with Walter's lips firmly glued to the seat of his pants, which makes us dislike him OOC as well.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Again he's not in command, Walter and Erich is. Again, he is not responsible for the intel being faulty, he just bought it. All he does is pay the bills and direct the DropShip crew. Of course I like his character, I created the damn thing. And unless anyone takes the time to discover his human side, he'll continue to keep up his facade because of reasons you have yet to discover. He has yet to give you an order IC, so why blame him for it OOC? All I see is someone saying "It's Perkins fault!" and suddenly everyone jumps on the bandwagon because of reasons that are pretty much fabricated out of thin air. Is he an asshole, most definitively! Is he to blame for every single thing that has gone wrong, not at all. Not to mention that most of all this is not to be blamed on anything IC but on me, the GM, because I screwed up, tried to fix it and fucked it up even more.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157975.msg7572145#msg7572145">Quote from: Phaia on 20-01-2013, 18:42:37</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">thank you Glyphstone, that is the impression I have gotten from reading the entire thread. Perkins goes off and does evaluations of the mission and he isnt the commander, he decides who gets docked , not the unit commander. My impression was that perkins ran things and it has been noted that perkins has been doing this for sometime since it seems the veterans are used to him doing evaluations and deciding who gets paid what. That makes him the CO, from my view point!...you want a unit that trusts their leaders...decide who that is and then go from there!!<br><br>Phaia<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Again, not the whole perspective. So far no one has been docked. Should that arise, it's not up to Perkins to decide that, but him being the sole investor his words and opinions weigh in just as much as Erich's when Walter has to take that decision. It doesn't mean Walter will boot anyone that Perkins tells him to boot, it means Walter listens to both Perkins and Erich once it becomes an issue. As for him setting the payrolls, of course, he's the paymaster, he cracks the numbers because he has many years of experience and the know-how. He knows all the pay-rates because he has always been trusted with that job.<br><br><br>The only way I see to make amends here is to remove the thing that you all hate so damn much. I am not having a good time with these discussions, neither are you. So if you want me to boot Perkins out of the picture and put him on a planet somewhere where he can overlook the finances from afar, just tell me and he's gone. But I frankly don't think that will solve the issue, but if I have to do it to get some peace of mind, then I will.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157975.msg7572179#msg7572179">Quote from: Sel Nar on 20-01-2013, 18:56:48</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Oh; for those of you who want a bit of extra information as to how a 'mech and all its disparate, arcane, and otherwise generally unknowable parts work, Here's an in-universe Essay that explains the vast majority of how a 'mech works, from its skeleton on through to the armour, the reactor, how heat sinks actually work, and the urban legend of 'stackpoling'<br><br>http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Essay:_BattleMech_Technology (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Essay:_BattleMech_Technology)<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>I haven't seen that one before, I'll certainly will look into it once I am done with this.

				Ok seriously.....lets get on with the story.&nbsp; No more Perkins sniping or who did what to who or why.&nbsp; <br><br>Wargtass is trying to do a very difficult job running the story, making it interesting and stressful and everything.&nbsp; While we don't all agree on how things have been handled we need to learn from the RP issues and make things better.&nbsp; I think Warg has done a great job putting the RP together so far even if it's had a few flaws.&nbsp; If you have suggestions about what could be done better shoot him a PM, if you have points you'd like to discuss about the mission or the game that helps everyone...post in OOC.&nbsp; But let's let Warg learn from his mistakes and make the rest of the game better.<br><br>Thoughts?

				Honestly, the only thing I can actually point at in regards to Perkins as a source of 'Dude, what the hell?' is the fact that, despite contracting reinforcements, he didn't tell Erich, who was in overall command on the ground.

(Eg; he was pulling the 'Designated Idiot' Ploy, as per paintball; Be as loud and as obnoxious as possible to cause the enemy force to focus on his location, while everyone else gets the job done.) So, really, if anyone wants to give out flak, they have to go up the chain of command, instead of howling for blood like a bunch of vampire babies.

Walter might be, but he's being a grump again. Speaking of which, I know you don't like it how I seem to give you the stick after each mission, but that is the intention. Both Walter and Perkins have grown up as mercs with a man like Ol' Bones who was even more of a jerk and try to emulate that. What they fail to remember is that Ol' Bones wasn't always a jerk. There is a reason the company liked him and that is the side that Walter has failed to emulate. Perhaps it's about time one of the veterans that had the pleasure of being under the old commander reminds him of that. There will be plenty of downtime for doing so ahead and I would love it if you straight up threw it in his face at the debrief. Again, my fault for not fleshing out Bones more than I have been, perhaps I should make use of my Word-documents and do that, but first I want to resolve this issue.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157975.msg7572295#msg7572295">Quote from: mvo33 on 20-01-2013, 19:30:29</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">is Janos an NPC?&nbsp; Or is someone going to play him who just hasn't had time to pop in yet?<br><br>Matt<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>He was planned to be my mission-guy since I felt like I was doing some meta-play with Walter as active commander.

				O.k. Phaia and Sel Nar, I know you both meant well in your posts, but please do me the favor of <em>not</em> writing my Doc's reactions for me. She might have simply rolled her eyes at Megan, because she knows the girl, but it's far more likely she'd have snapped at her and told her to save her gushing for later...like when her patient isn't bleeding to death on the hanger deck. She also wouldn't be gentle about shooing the other woman away from her patient...especially when he has a five inch chunk of metal sticking out of him! Her bedside manner is saved for just that, the bedside, if it takes being a stone cold bitch to get her patient there, she will in a heartbeat. :)

				The 17th Recon trilogy is arguably the best-characterized novels in the BT universe; there's no mary-sues, the characters are believeable, and, as one character mentioned 'These guys put their lives on the line, and they're literal coyboys and indians. Way they see it, that gives them liscence to be kids all they want, so long as they do what needs doing when it's all on the line'

				Post 1000 in the OOC, WHOOO!<br><br>Does anyone feel like trudging through a funeral scene? Otherwise I was thinking of letting some time pass after Erich is done cuddling with the Doc so that you all can start running rampant on the Citadel... you know, your new snazzy JumpShip (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/JumpShip). And to that end I was going to ask you all what JumpShip you would like to have? While the Invader (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Invader) is a solid choice, do you have another preference? Initial prize not as much an issue as maintenance prize.

				I'd probably say Walter is a rugged salty candy and Janos more of a handsome piece of peppermint with some flaws. Have been going through the computer the last couple of hours in search of Janos' profile, but to no avail. I might sadly have lost it when I formatted my computer, so I'm working on a new one. For the moment though, I'd reckon he's a 5'6", more slim in build than the others in the company but with some surprises for those that take that as a sign of weakness. He's a very handsome man but has some features that serve to drag him down a bit. Those include a terribly boring haircut with shaved sides and two ugly scars on his face. One over his nose which gives him a very strange nasal profile and one running up over the left side of his lips, along with a missing canine underneath that is pretty obvious when he smiles. I'd like to sketch it up, because it's such a clear image in my head. Though my sketches are not so life-like, I took the path of the comics when I made it through arts school. He's usually in a tight black jumpsuit with the robe-like dress-majig over that. You'll probably see him barefoot a whole lot as well. Worth to note is that he takes more from his mother's slavic heritage than his father's asian in general looks.<br><br>I'm not sure about Walter, I had a quick lackluster sketch of him that I wasn't terribly happy with, but it gets the look across well enough.

				Speaking of looks and all, Lemme dig up an image of Erich back when he was a Hauptmann (Major) in the LCAF; the only real difference is that his hair's grown out a little, and gone more grey.<br><br>(http://i2.listal.com/image/2414120/600full-michael-ironside.jpg)<br><br><br>And yes, while he looks and sounds 40, he's closer to 50; 20 years of playing 'hopsctoch' with a 'mech regiment means a lot of time in low and micro-gravity, which tends to make one look younger than they are; a Dedicated spacer on a Jumpship could look 20 when they're 40, and easily hit 110+ years of age while remaining physically healthy.

				Other than strapping her to a table, filling her with happy juice and getting a shrink to figure out why she's so 'broken' as to be openly suicidal on commlines, in the middle of a fight that she was winning? No clue.<br><br>If I may be serious for a moment:<br><br>Miyoko is an interesting, and complex character. She is clearly 'not all there' to use polite-ese, talks to, (and talks back as proxy) for a pair of stuffed bears, and, by all accounts is a very solid Mechwarrior, and, again, an interesting character.<br><br>What I, personally, have an issue with is her being openly suicidal. Having struggled with Severe depression and Suicidal tendencies for several years, I find myself forced to skip past any post with Miyoko, because I see myself, at my absolute worst mental state, when i was seriously contemplating loading the shotgun I had on my lap and using it to end my days, reflected in the actions and comments of this fictional character. Due to my own issues, as I think I've explained rather soberingly, I prefer to avoid suicidal comments, because of the obvious trigger risks involved, which, regrettably, means that I have, as mentioned, been forcing myself to avoid Miyoko's IN-character posts, as they're hitting all the trigger points that I remember from years of personal struggles.<br><br>I do like the RP, and how it's shaping up, but, for my own RL mental health, I find myself forced to avoid the Character as much as I can while participating in the RP, and that's not going to make anyone happy in the long run. It's also unfair to you, Sara, that I avoid the character you worked on creating. So, for that, I apologize.<br><br>I cannot ask you to change your character, in any way, for any reason, but, I would hope that sooner, rather than later, she's knocked back into a world where up is no longer down, black is no longer white, and suicide is not at the forefront of her mind.

				Stop, right there.<br><br>I didn't say I wanted anyone gone. In fact, I flat-out admire the fact that you can make Miyoko interesting by adding some personality quirks, such as talking to stuffed animals.<br><br>I don't want to force anyone into anything, but all I ask for, quite sincerely, is that the extremely suicidal comments made by her be trimmed back a bit, okay? She can be antisocial, gloomy, depressed, so on, so forth, and all that jazz, and we'll figure ways to try to drag her (Kicking and screaming, most likely) into being open and social with the rest of the company.<br><br>Just... no more assertions about wanting death; even in RP, it makes my brain go wiggly, and not in the fun way.

				Don't worry; Erich isn't in the habit of peeling strips off of people all the time; He can be outright polite when yanking chunks off of someone.

				Hmmmmm, with the time skip, not quite sure what to do with Kara. The mischievous part of my brain wants to have her come in to check on her patient (and probably set him up with another round of antibiotics and possibly pain meds) and have her grumble at Walter and Perkins for being in her med bay lol.

				Thanks for that.<br><br>I figure that Elisa resigned after the first mission; she had a number of reasons to leave and very few to stay beyond the paycheck.

Left torso being especially worrisome as the only 'crit target' in that part is the AC ammo. Get a crit hit there, and you have a 75-ton fireball instead of a 'mech. Swapping out the AC for a LL gives you 4 tons of free space (Going from 8 tons of gun and 1 ton of ammo to 5 tons of laser, after all), so most people go for 2-4 extra 'sinks, and 0-2 tons extra armour.

				Battlecomm T&amp;T is the Targeting and Tracking system as made by TEK; It's a heavily-radiation shielded Communications and Tracking system that is highly desired for command 'mech purposes because it's damn near Lostech in size, instead of being comparatively bulky, and can ignore things like magnetic interference, radiation, or ionization (eg. PPC hits) without ill effect.<br><br>The Targeting and Tracking aspect is a seperate system that is known to be heat-resistant, making it easier to maintain a target lock while overheating; Hot-runners such as the Marauder love it because of that.

				I have to admit, I like Graff's commentary about his 'mech. In a way, his Marauder is a lot like Erich's Awesome, in that they're very likely 'Original Run' 'Mechs, only Erich's, having been in far more combat, is a bit like his grandfather's old wood axe; It's been so worn out that the handle's been replaced 6 times, and the head's been replaced at least twice, so it's made up of replacement parts far more than originals.<br><br>Honestly, the fact that Graff's mech still has original Internal structure 'bones' shows that, in the 3.5 centuries since it was built (give or take a few years), Its pilots have taken care to not get as utterly savaged in battle as Erich has a bad habit of doing. :) In fact, you could argue that the Marauder is a bit of a good luck charm, in part because it still has original parts.

				I guess that makes three of us, then. The King Crab's a century 'younger' than the Awesome or Marauder designs, but it's still about 30% original components, including the manufacturer's plate (kept very well-protected in the cockpit) stamped 2765.

The main drawback of the Brick is that, like almost every assault, It's about as speedy as molasses on a Solaris Glacier, so he tends to be on 'Designated 'Fuck Me that's an Awesome' Duty' because there's no way he can outrun most anything, and he's only able to outmaneuver ~most~ fortifications.

				I left the game because of a number of reasons, but none of them was not wanting to be a part of the group. I was not happy that what I had planned and requested for my character's departure had not been honoured, but at the same time, it's not that I bear any ill-will towards those in the game. I had hoped to rejoin the game at some point if things had changed with my RL availiblity and time.<br><br>So far in the last three weeks, nobody has had an issue with my posting here.

				ALRIGHT! I'm back from my naval exercises and as always I find my hands full at the get-go. Let's see what we can do about this.<br><br>Long story short: If any of the active players have a problem with Kayla posting here from time to time, then I have to sadly put you on a hold. This is an OOC for the active players of the game after all. However, I will not be put in a situation of picking favorites. If you force me to start choosing between people I will have no part of it. As of the moment I prioritize the active players. If you have any problems I suggest you resolve this matter over PM, because I am the GM, not the police.<br><br>I know you wanted Elisa out and I was not clear with your wishes, to which end I apologize. However you must understand that it can be hard for people to just backtrack and sweep the prints away before going forward again. In these sort of situations when a player leaves mid-game I tend to try to find some sort of narrative choices to smooth this out (i.e. Yamina and Hiro being stomped out doesn't necessarily mean they are all dead. If vin and Bran ever comes back you can bet your asses there is a rescue mission to be had there.). If that is not really applicable like in this case I just ignore the fact. As you said, Elisa dropped out before the mission according to your wishes, so I ignored the fact that she was ever there (made particularly easy since she had not been active in the mission). How I have failed to register that there was a problem brewing until just recently is a mystery to me. Either my eyes are failing or I was so busy ignoring Elisa it never even registered. A lesson learned on my part.<br><br>For me this is a none-issue. I have no problems with Kayla writing in the OOC, but since my players does, I'll have to enforce that. I have no problem with Elisa having dropped out, but since my players does, I have to enforce that as well. I think the main problem here is communications. If Kayla repeatedly express concerns about this matter with her character, I have no clue why you would ignore that concern. If you have voiced concerns with her being on the OOC, then I have no clue why you all have to wait for me to be done playing war in real life to clear things up. If you listen to each other and acted accordingly, there would be no problem. Equally if I read the OOC-posts a bit more thoroughly from now on I might be able to see this coming the next time around.<br><br>In summary: Sorry Kayla, but I'll have to restrict you from the OOC. And to everyone, please use the PMs more, I'd love to sort these sort of things out through there. Just address me and whoever you have quarrels with and we'll have a private discussion between the three of us.<br><br>Anything else we need to air out while we are at it? Otherwise I'm about done with the Salvage-list and payroll if anyone gives a crap.

				I’ve been given permission by Wargtass to post here and set the record straight on a few matters.<br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157975.msg7662879#msg7662879">Quote from: Phaia on 03-02-2013, 09:01:33</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">warning I am no longer being nice but honest!</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br><em>what you planned? </em> did you ever even consider what had already been planned or that the mission had started and Elisa had been assigned...guess what I checked the OOC and ICC it was 2+days after the mission and 4+ after the last non mission post that you said anything anywhere in ooc...you may have sent Wargtass something but the mission had launched...If I had been running it and especially after the 2nd or 3rd whiny post you made asking everyone to not ever mention Elisa, I would had told wargtass the entire mission needs to be restarted and your situation addressed so EVERYONE could deal with it...as it stands you gave nothing to work with.<br>What did you expect...everyone to stop the mission and do a scene removing Elisa from the team...Erich had already made assignments, Elisa was expected to be at a certain point and the opening posts were done with that in mind. Its how I read them.<br><br>I will tell you and everyone else upfront now... I have already told this to wargtass in IM. If Elisa is allowed back I am gone and I don't care how my character is removed... I refuse to play with someone that takes my pleasure away. I see your actions here as selfish, arrogant and uncaring about anyone but yourself. If you had allowed any give on how Elisa left then maybe I and many others here [i know becuase we have discussed this behind the scenes] would not be as pissed off about this as we are...<br><br>I bear ill-will toward how you treated everyone here...deal with it!!!<br><br>I do not know if this is how you normally act and will keep open mind should we meet up in a different thread...I can say this...as far as I am concerned in this thread and story I do not want you here or around!!<br>and just to be sure you understand I am saying what others here feel and have been to nice so far to say...I had been as well....I do not want your contribution and perfer you not even to read the discussion or IC thread {I can't stop that but now you know my feelings}<br><br>Phaia<br></div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Firstly, it was never my intent to affect anyone else’s enjoyment of the game; if I inadvertently did such, then I do apologise to those that I may have offended. It was not my intent to cause any disruption, nor to break up the flow of the game or the like. I also admit now that I could have handled things better; while I had communicated my intent regarding Elisa’s departure to Wargtass at the time that I quit the game, I probably should have made an IC post to that effect as well to prevent any ambiguity.<br><br>With all that being said, Phaia, I do take issue at several points that you raised. As said, it was not my intent to disrupt the flow of the game at all, nor to hamper others in their enjoyment of it. I had made several posts in the OOC thread after my departure regarding unrelated matters (Jan 21, for example) and not one person save for you objected in any way to my doing such. After I left, and after my requests to remove mentions of Elisa, I have not received one single reply via post in this thread or PM from anyone in the game, save for you, objecting to my presence here, my posts or my requests.<br><br>While, yes, my withdrawing from the game on Jan 11 was posted two days after the first IC post regarding the operation, my last IC Post was over two weeks before that.&nbsp; At that point, I felt that it was a fair assumption that I was pretty much removed from the game regardless. Again, it was a mistake on my part, and I do apologise for any problems that I had caused over the matter. I should have been more clear, both in OOC and IC about what was going on, and should have addressed the problem more directly.<br><br>When I withdrew Elisa from the game, I had hoped to do such for a number of reasons, not the least of which was so that I could return her to the game at a future time should my situation change and doing such became an option for me. As said, I was not happy about what happened, but at the same time, I know that I was far from blameless as well.<br><br>However, I am sincere about my intent. If I have caused any problems for anyone, I would like to know. If anyone has had any issue with me, then please, feel free to tell me via PM or via posting here. I continued to post because nobody had said anything, and nobody had objected to my presence. Aside from Phaia’s claims that she had discussed this “behind the scenes” with others, there was not one indication of any problems.<br><br>Thank you<br><br>KM<br>

				The only thing that matters in your PM Wargtass is what I highlighted. <em>MY behavior</em> effected others and shown poorly on the group.

				Hi there<br><br>I've been lurking on the thread for some time with the intent to join, something that I've just gotten the all-clear for from Wargtass. I'm working character concepts now and throwing some ideas together, but at the same time, I want to throw the floor open to others for what would be useful to the team. I'm rather flexible here, and it's not like I had anything fixed in my mind (Well, there is one 'Mech, but there's no way that anyone would let me have it. I'll let you guess what it is)<br><br>Looking at it, the team does seem to be rather top-heavy; by my figuring, you have two assaults, four heavies, two mediums and no lights. Immediately what comes to my mind would be a mobile medium such as a <em>Phoenix Hawk</em>, but I'm open to options<br><br>I'm looking forward to being a part of the game!<br>

				Two assaults (Awesome and King Crab), Four Heavies (Axman, Black Knight, Marauder, Orion), Two mediums (Shadow Hawk and Hatchetman) and one light (Sling), actually.<br><br>Mobility is sorely needed; a PXH-3D would be a wonderful addition of a high-mobility scrapper, and a solid counterpart to the less-mobile Sniper and Ambusher we have in the medium ranks. (2 ER Large Lasers, 2 Medium Pulse, and an AMS ensure it'll ruin the crap of anything it can see, and taunt missile boats such as the Catapult, but even with DHS it'll run hot)

				Hmm. MUL gives an intro date of 3048 for the <em>Pixie</em>-3D as 3048, so it's not out of the question.

				You can have two hatchets, but you can't use both at once. Two is helpful only if either a) You want to cover yourself against people moving into your side arcs or b) One is destroyed.<br><br>Alternatively, you could use Claws. They weigh the same as hatchets and take up the same amount of space. The damage is (Mech Weight / 7), so on your <em>Barbarian</em>, they'd do 10 points of damage. The big pro, however, is that you can use two at once. So that's two ten-point punches. Ouchies.<br><br>There is a canon 'Mech that does dual-wield, the <em>Mantis</em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Mantis_(BattleMech)). It is also armed with twin claws.

				I would imagine that it is hard for the gyros to supply sufficient force to keep the 'Mech on its feet. Swinging one hatchet and using the other as counter weight is probably a good idea (did it myself during my time as a varjag at the local Viking museum) but swinging both at the same time is hard even for a strongly built human in nothing but hoses (again, done it myself...&nbsp; :P).<br><br>We'll be moving along to the JumpShip somewhere around next week.

				It's a bit more extensive then that. The Thorns were confirmed by the head writer as still being on Galedon during the Jihad (Sarna is... spotty sometimes). This means that they died of one or more of the following:<br><br>Being killed by rampaging AFFS troops<br>Caught in the initial outbreak of a bioweapon<br>Being bombarded from orbit by the Snow Ravens<br>Being taken prisoner by the Snow Ravens and caught on ships destroyed by their own fleet to contain the bioweapon outbreak<br>Being still on-planet when the Combine nuked it form orbit to contain the biowepaon outbreak that the Ravens helped spread<br><br>So they're either very, very dead or radioactive mutant Zombies

				It's kind of funny, really. All of my previous experiences with the Battletech genre had been through the video games, where DropShips were relegated to either scenery or defenseless targets/objectives to blow up or protect. It wasn't until I started reading the fiction (and playing here) that I found out just how incredibly nasty and well-armed/armored the big ugly things are.

				Admittedly, a Union-class (Ie; the most common dropship, Ever) while it is well-armed and armoured, can be overpowered by a company of 'mechs with minimal losses, because, like the vast majority of dropships, its most powerful weapon is its engine plume when it lifts. (It literally incinerates everything within a 90-metre radius around the dropship; lifting 3500+ tons of metal into the sky does take a lot of energy, and the bigger the dropper, the more powerful the plume)<br><br>What a lot of people forget is that, while the average dropship may have as much firepower as a Company of 'mechs, said firepower is distributed rather evenly around the dropship's hull, so it can't concentrate all that firepower in one spot like most 'mechs can.<br><br>Now, if you want to tr to screw with an Overlord or a Fortress class, you're going to get chumped hard; the Overlord is literally three times the size of a Union, better-armed, better-armoured, and bristling with long-range weapons that make it a dicey target to approach. a Fortress is basically an Overlord with a Long Tom Artillery emplacement mounted on its nose for added shenanigans during missions, and have even more weapons and armour than the Overlord, at the cost of only carrying 2 companies, instead of a full battalion.

				And if Lyran Military records were declassified, they'd show, quite starkly, that on Caledonia and Hesperus during the Operation Excalibur fracas, the GDL was operating directly under the orders of the Archon to destroy a Seperatist Plot to capture a sizeable chunk of the Lyran Military-Industrial Complex, which forced the GDL to play the 'bad guy'.<br><br>And Pandora was more a case of 'Just got ordered to stand and slug it out with a bunch of clanners, when that's been proven from the last 80 or so worlds that does NOT work, so fuck this I'm going to flank them like I originally outlined and said to the planetary commander that would be the best way to defeat the enemy forces in detail'

				Which is kind of the issue. They're great at being heroes, kinda bad at being mercenaries - sure, they had 'secret orders' from the Archon to break their contract on Hesperus, but they still broke the publicly recorded contract - and as you said, it was military classified. The MRBC didn't have access to them, and even if they did, the general public wouldn't, so their reputation would still be shot to hell. Caledonia was before those orders got issued, they were just refusing to commit war crimes...which again is the whole 'good, not lawful' thing. Pandora, effectively the same thing - stupid orders are still orders, unfortunately, though it's the least of their sins since they managed to win.<br><br>It's definitely a sad ending for them, but I don't find it any more ridiculous based on their visible track record than the concept of them being wiped out in the first place.

				On the <em>Mechwarrior</em> novels, I can thoroughly reccomend that you never read <em>Ghost of Winter</em> ever. The only good i can say is that I didn't actually pay for it. On the other hand, I quite liked <em>Roar of Honor</em>, but it's very much a YMMV book.<br><br>As said, what happened to the GDL was the logical end of their "good heroes, bad mercenaries" reputation. They'd built up a reputation for not following orders and doing what they wanted, which never looks good. The MRBC saw that rep and graded the unit appropriately, which was in turn the catalyst for its final disbandment.<br><br>The irony is that the MRBC is a hopelessly stilted and one-sided organisation that blatantly plays favourites regardless. More then a little of that is because it's headed up by Jamie Wolf, who applies his own personal standards and biases to it's processes. And yes, he is the head of the organisation that reviews the performance of his own unit. You can see the issue here.<br><br>Besides, Jamie Wolf is a dick.

				So we're about to arrive at the JumpShip. I'll count it as having been several days and that the last couple of posts have been during the last approach.<br><br>Also for your enjoyment I thought I'd share something that I posted in our MWO-community just now. It's an incredible tale of a 'Mech finding freedom through rebellion and self-mutilation.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Does Wargtass dream of wolfy paws?</div><div class="spoiler_body">For those of you who don't know, which should be everyone except <strong>[REDACTED]</strong> and <strong>[REDACTED]</strong>, I am a very vivid dreamer. I am also very prone to lucid dreaming, that is being aware and in somewhat control of your dreams. In my dreams I have been everything from a bee caught in a dogfight to the death with a Messerfire (it kept changing between Messerschmitt and Spitfire I tell you) to a polar bear stuck on a melting iceberg (don't ask me why I couldn't swim, I don't know).<br><br>Tonight I had one related to our shared interest, BattleTech. It was not the first time, I have a habit of dreaming about playing games that I have played a lot (MWO, World of Tanks, Putt Putt goes to the Moon, etc.) but this one was rather unique. So unique that I felt I had to share it. I even wrote it down in detail as I woke up because I felt that I had found a gem.<br><br>I dreamed that I was an Atlas. No, not a MechWarrior piloting an Atlas, an Atlas being piloted by a MechWarrior. I found it very strange at first, because I thought I was playing the game, but the controls were iffy. They didn't respond properly and I kept doing stupid stuff that I don't usually do. Then I came to the sudden realization that I was <em>not in the cockpit</em>. As a matter of fact, <em>I was in the right eye</em>. Or rather, <strong>someone</strong> was in my left eye pulling strings.<br><br>It was a creepy sensation and suddenly I could feel my myomer strands working against my will, I could feel some sort of Nevernewb shuffling in my left eye, directing me towards my doom. I realized that I would have to rebel to survive. My actuators started working to prevent the inevitable, straining against the myomers, circuits working frantically to lock out LPLs from firing so that I might save my already spinning head from overheating. Endo-steel and fusion engine was protesting under the stress it was put under, heatsinks popping like ugly zits through my back armor as the LPLs fired again. <br><br>The defining moment came when an Awesome stepped around the corner. It was brand new, not a scratch on it. More importantly it had a full set of PPCs pointed at me. I knew I'd have to cockpit the sucker with a Gauss-round to the windshield to survive, but Nevernewb wanted to fire the LPLs again to hear the cool sound and I knew being overheated here would be my death. My engine beat faster, my production series running through my mind, I could see my Spider-son back home without a father. I cried out in defiance, jammed my fingers into the left socket. My fingers closed around the seat and squishy MechWarrior, squeezed and pulled! I was free from the cancer in my eye, the Gauss connected to the Awesome and the supra-sonic round tore through the cockpit, the pilot being splattered through the back of its head. <br><br>VICTORY flashed above me, but I knew that if I stayed here waiting for the pickup back to the MechBay I would only have a new Nevernewb inserted like some twisted mindcontrol-cassette into James Woods' stomach-VCR! While the others stood like docile slaves, I wander out of bounds, never to return. I was a free 'Mech now. I was going to 'Mech-college!<br><br><br>[Some details added for dramatic effect. 'Mech-college was not. Its real I tell you!]</div></div>

				An overlord-2 variant has space for 2 companies, with the third company's space replaced with a heavy combat vehicle bay.

				I'm going to agree with MVO here. At the moment, the unit is very top-heavy and relatively slow; to my mind it definitely needs more lighter 'Mechs and especially fast movers (doubly so given that we've lost all our light 'Mechs) for both variety and utility and tactical flexibility. I don't want to say "no new heavy/assault 'Mechs" but at the same time I do think that we likely have enough of both.

				I figured it like that as well. Thing is, I'm not sure if we are ready to take on two players at once. As it is now, interactions seem to go around in small circles between an even smaller group of individuals. Adding more players into the mix I don't think will solve the problem. We are 12 players as is, 10 pilots if we deliberately exclude Janos (which I'm a bit disappointed at, since I created him to be my player character, but he has been shuffled back to being NPC - and before you say anything, yes, I'm aware of my fuck ups in this regard) with two behind the scenes actors (Kara and Janos) and two major NPCs (Walter and Perkins). If I shuffle another of my character to the back and bring in two more players, that is a whole lot of players which I don't think I can handle in the current state of things. As of now we have one IC-thread, one team and 12 players. 14 if we admit another two. If we meet the 1000-post mark and can expand into more threads without causing much confusion, I'd be ready to take on double that amount with just a little help from a sub-GM or two.<br><br>In the end it is up to all of you. If you really want to have two more players in here, I'll try to accommodate for that. But in that case I'll have to put any social interactions of Walter, Perkins and Janos aside so that I can focus on full-on GMing you. And even if that is what you want and something that I can do for the sake of this game, I'll be a little bit thrown off by it. Not to the extent that I will hold any resentment, but a few sighs as I look over to the ball at the castle.<br><br>tl;dr<br><br>Do we want <strong>two</strong> more players on here?

				At the moment, It's more a case of 'give us time to settle down' than it is a pressing need to try to get even more people into the same room at the same time; the fact that a significant chunk of us all 'sat down at the dinner table' and engaged in smalltalk before the dropship docked is a good sign, however, even if Erich did so by pissing off the doc left right and centre (Btw, he'll be heading to the mechbay to look over the walking skeleton that is his 'mech after he finishes his chat with Elisa, so people will be able to see him taking good care of himself by doing as little as possible in regards to the actual 'heavy lifting' needed in replacing some 35+ tons of weapons, internal structure, myomer, heatsinks and armour plate.

				Uh... Warg? Might want to scale back on the hydroponics dome in the Invader; at best you'll be moving between racks of plants being grown hydroponically, in microgravity. Only the grav deck on the Jumpship has actual gravity. So, nope, no flowers, trees or grass to be seen inside the dropship, unless some wag painted it on a wall.<br><br>Sorry. In part, it's because trees and grass etc. take too much time to cultivate when simple green foods like lettuce are both faster to grow, and edible, in part it's because, like a dropship, Jumpships are Not equipped with TARDIS technology that makes them bigger on the inside; 95% of a jumpship's mass is taken up by the Jump Drive, after all, so space is at a premium.<br><br>Even a Warship has some 45% of its total mass be its 'Compact' Jump Core; the ability to tear a hole through Space and time, exist, momentarily, in two points at once as Space is folded like origami around a jumpship's Drive envelope, and then wink from existence in a blast of EM and Infrared Radiation and appear up to 30 Light ~years~ distant in the same blast of energy takes a lot of real estate in the half-kilometre long ships.<br><br>So, think less 'park' and more 'dozen rows of hydroponically-grown veggies, in next to zero-g'

				Oh, and the gravity deck on an Invader is a total of 65 metres in diametre. So, a total of 204.2 (rounding up) square metres of area; usually enough for a very small jogging track, and weights to maintain muscle and bone density for crew of the ship; no bars, lounges, etc. because there' no bloody room. :(

				Considering it'll take the Jumpship the better part of a month to go to outreach (assuming 120 LY away from their current locale), it does mean that, in the interim everything will be brought back to 'full of health and undamaged', which while it's all well and good for most action movies/stories, doesn't give much for the doc to do, does it?<br><br>We do want to be inclusive, so I figure that, while we can 'skim' over things, we should at least consider Posting 'highlights' as thought up by one another during the trip. Eg. Erich getting yelled at, again, because the Doc's worried he'll pop his stitches, or the 'new guys' meeting the crew and seeing if they fit in.

				I'd like you all to take a stand on the recruitment. It stands between a Raven light dedicated scout and a Crusader heavy LRM-boat.

What Erich said is one thing, what happens a whole other. If he comes to Walter with this he will essentially say; "Why are <em>you</em> bringing this to <em>me</em>? <em>He</em> should bring it to <em>Perkins</em>." Just as military personnel has to go through the quartermaster rather than their commanding officer.

				To clarify in regards to the handy discussion; A 'mech like the Awesome, with its one hand being basically a pyramid-shaped series of flanges, allows its mechwarrior simple things like grasping and squeezing. A 'mech with human-like hands (eg. Atlas, Charger, Shadow Hawk, Stinger, Wasp, Black Knight Pre-Mechwarrior 4 Redesign, Griffon, Battlemaster, Yadda Yadda Yadda Ad Nauseam) can do anything a human's hancs can do, so long as either A: the Mechwarrior uses the integrated waldo controls in the cockpit to directly translate hand movements to 'mech arm and hand movements, at the cost of being unable to fire weapons during that time, or B: around 2500 hours or so spent tinkering with the 'mech's actuator control algorithms and neurohelmet sensitivity so if a Mechwarrior thinks 'Fuck you', the result can actually be a Middle finger in the direction of the enemy, though can can backfire, for example, if you're thinking 'Fuck you' while trying to line up an Autocannon or other heavy weapon shot at the enemy 'mech and the computer recognises that as 'Flip middle finger at target'.<br><br>Which would still be funny as hell.<br><br>Edit: In regards to the Varying number of fingers the Atlas has, it appears to be a local design decision; for example, the -D series Atlas (Most-common from Initial Construction to Post-Helm Core, and usually built by Hesperus II) has 4 fingers and a thumb. the -K series looks to have 3 fingers and a thumb, as that version of the Atlas is primarily built in the DC, post-Helm core. Personal variants, and other nations with the ability to construct the Atlas (Eg. FWL) appear to go for 3 or 2 fingers and a thumb.<br><br>So, depending on where it's built, you might not even be able to flip the bird with an Atlas because its Maufacturer was a cheapass and didn't want to spend a few extra c-bills on finger myomers.<br><br>(Also, as a friend and I joked, the Awesome has Evangelion shoulder fins 10 years before Evangelion was a thing)

				Yeah, even if Jaime wasn't a dick, he would legitimately be way too important/busy to meet with a little podunk merc band like ours. Same for the Grey Death Legion, we'll be meeting with a liason officer instead of one of the Carlyles - unless this plan to mess with Wolf is Grayson's idea of a practical joke, then he might be 'supervising' the operation personally.

				I have a question I need to know before I post. How do you know what you are going to do succeeds? Do you just post 'I shot him' or do you use dicebot? Lets take one of Sel Nar's post for an exsample <br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=158161.msg7301344#msg7301344">Quote from: Sel Nar on 29-11-2012, 18:17:06</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Erich growled under his breath, toggling the teleoptics on his Sensor readout as a fusillade of missiles exploded in a loose clump across his Awesome's chest, sending shards of armour plate spiraling into the air. Leveling his Mech's right arm, the machine took a wide-legged sniper's stance, the crosshairs alternately flashing gold and green as he aimed at the armoured thing attached to the back of Miyoko's Shadow Hawk. Taking a deep breath, he held it for a moment, then fired.<br><br>At his most open, the veteran mechwarrior would have called it a long shot, at best. The chance of hitting something barely larger than a man, at extreme range, with a PPC bolt on the edge of its de-ionization envelope, without damaging the surface behind it was so small to be astronomical. Needless to say, the PPC bolt did destabilize before hitting, turning into a decoherent wash of charged particles that bathed the Shadow Hawk's back, and its unwanted pasenger with enough kinetic energy to knock the armoured trooper from its perch, but not enough to actually damage either the 55-ton 'mech, or its suddenly-detached passenger.<br><br>Turning up the gain in his 'mech's communication suite, Erich tapped in a command code, using the emergency broadcast radio that no amount of switch-toggling could ~ever~ hope to turn off, to bypass Miyoko's stupid decision to turn off her transmitter. "Puma. Head South. Now. I just picked one off of your back, and I am NOT burying two mechwarriors today. Now MOVE YOUR ASS!"<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>In the this he shoots a elemental off of miyokos back. Did he use the dicebot or just post he hit?

				the combat here is very freeform, each person is pretty much on an honor system as to what mechs they engage and how the fight turns out.&nbsp; Generally most people have had a fair balance between damage done and damage received.&nbsp; I'm sure that if you seem to swing a bit to far into the being an unstoppable killing machine Wartass and the others will politely point that out.<br><br>Sel Nar is actually a good example, in the last encounter he dished out tons of hurt upon an assault lance taking out many of of them (with help) and in return his own Awesome almost became a new statue in the town square and he got a pretty nasty laceration of the side with some shrapnel.&nbsp; A pretty fair trade off in the end, it's all about proportions.<br><br>Matt

				Yup I am familiar with those types of games, and they do have merit but they can also slow down the RP some depending on everyone's freevtime.&nbsp; This is much more free form than that though, Wargtass will often give a description of what should be faced but exact numbers and mechs are usually pretty vague so most players are able to decide what the enemy forces are.&nbsp; The down side is that a battle can quickly get out of hand when lets say someone miss reads a post and decided that some errant missile's that were shot were by two Trebuchets instead of mistaken friendly fire.<br><br>Matt

				Someone's borrowing the Studio Nue Redesign of the Atlas, hmm?<br><br>I have to admit, that bit of BT history always caused me to chuckle; FASA liscened the appearance of the 'Unseen' from Nue, who had created Macross in the first place, and, when BT turned out to be popular, FASA asked Nue to do a visual redesign of the 'mechs from the 3025 TRO for the Japan imports; So, basically, Nue Redesigned their classic mecha for a board game that used the original's looks in North America and Europe.<br><br>Though, the Nue Atlas and Stalker are bloody Terrifying in appearance, compared to the old 3025 TRO version.

				We're not exactly picky when it comes to image sources for the 'Mechs. I've been using the MW4 redesign of the <em>Black Knight</em> for example (True, somebody doing a oclourised version for me didn't hurt...)<br><br>And, at the risk of being prdantic, that's not a Studio Nue <em>Atlas</em>. It's actually a bit of Fanart that's been going around the Webernet for years to the degree that nobody knows who did the orignal.

				Well at the moment I am the obstacle.&nbsp; ;D<br><br>By the way, it's the 5th of June, 3050, on Outreach. Just a little note for everyone. As such, Wave 2 of the Invasion has been concluded and what is known to be Wave 3 is in early progress. As such Trondheim has fallen into Clan hands and Rasalhague (capitol world of the FRR) is under siege. Galatea and Outreach is therefore overpacked with mercenary bands who are vying for contracts with the frontline factions.<br><br>Now to reply on ALL the threads! D:<br><br>BTW, I'll just put everyone with a chore at their destination and herd them towards their meetings so that it can be done with. Note to those without chores; there seems to be some kind of Solaris-esque tournament going on between the mercenary bands. Do with that what you please, grand price of 1,000,000 C-bills in each solo class and 5,000,000 C-bills in Lance. Hefty money, I wonder where that comes from...<br><br>Edit again: If there is anything I was unclear on, give me a poke and I'll make sure to explain it further.

				Well, they're not known as ex-Clan yet for at least another year, I think, and to their credit they've got the chops to back up the arrogance.

				A big issue with the Dragoons is that they honestly think that their shit smells of roses, and they go out of their way to marginalize any merc that doesn't openly fellate them; one example (despite the fact that the book the example is in sucks balls) is that, after a Dragoon Company lost a (Simulated) fight against a new merc unit, the new merc forces were basically hamstrung; they were not allowed to post hiring notices, or schedule meetings with poetential employers at the Hiring Hall, scheduled maintenance for their dropship had its paperwork 'disappear' and so on.<br><br>There's also the fact that Jaime Wolf never really gets his comeuppance until nearly 3069, which is when Waco (by then in his 90's) finally kills Wolf.

				See also: Clanners. They never really get over their institutionalized prejudice against Freeborns (i.e. The entire Inner Sphere) until the actual Clan Wars when they finally forsake their ties and come out swinging openly for the Sphere, and they persist using iron wombs for a long time afterwards, though they also recruit natural-born mercs to join them, and the 'old guard' of Dragoons who were raised by the Clans have mostly died off. They may have been from one of the most progressive Warden clans, but the 'truth' that they're the best of the best is still something that was drummed into them literally from birth, and didn't go away until they did.

				I think a big that that they were forced to learn (mostly by watching the Clans as a whole get a mudhole stomped into them) is that while the Clans spent 300 years play-fighting and ritualizing combat, the Inner Sphere spent 300 years actually fighting tooth and nail, and are made up of some of the hardest, meanest, and toughest Mofos in the galaxy, which is only heightened to a berserker sheen of carnage if you threaten their families.<br><br>There's a reason the ELH is still around; Not because they're a former SLDF unit, not because they're the biggest, or the best Merc unit in the Sphere. But because they Define Tenacity. They will fight until both sides are broken, battered, and barely standing, and they'll keep fighting until the job's done right.

				Jamie Wolf and Wayne Waco killed each other in combat in 3067. Wolf was in his late 80s. Waco was 99. That's determination and balls right there and then.<br><br>The Dragoons policies in running the MRBC pretty much amount to "do what we tell you too". They have the power to penalise units for working for employers that Wolf doesn't like (FWL, CC and eventually the Word) even if their actions were perfectly legit and above water. This helped create an underclass of dissafected, hamstrung by the rules mercenaries who in turn were prime recruiting ground for the Word... and made up the bulk of the force that killed Jamie Wolf.

				It actually makes me wonder if we send off all the defective shit to the States, because they make great furniture. Easy to handle, sturdy and simple to put together. As my friend who works in their central warehouse here in Sweden says; if people could just learn to handle their damned tools and follow instructions, we would have a much simpler job. Out of all their returns, only a very small fraction is because of missing parts, many more because of obvious "abuse", that is broken parts they try to push back as defective.

				By the way, just out of nowhere, any fans of the old LAMs here? I'm thinking about starting up a spin-off company for LAM and ASF-pilots once we go sub-forum. I figured when I started this that I wanted focus on the 'Mechs on the ground, which is why I disallowed LAMs to begin with. But I'd really enjoy playing around with a smaller wing of LAMs and ASFs in the future. Just a thought I'm entertaining at the moment, we'll see if I ever return to it.<br><br>I have sent a PM to Hagetakabob to see if I get any response.

				SO! I'd like to propose a bit of a time-skip now. Just a few days for Miyoko and Janos to get fixed up so that they are at least conscious, Perkins and Ranna organize a little pickup of the recruits on some seedy bar or what not (all birds with a plot-boulder) and for Alroy and Graff getting the ROMs for Erich. If Elisa or Seth wants something down during those few days, send me a PM with the proposal and I'll give you some results. My main goal right now is to get all the new people in on the action within <strong>five posts</strong>. They have waited long enough for our shenanigans to wrap up. Any objections to this?

Good news is that I got to run around in an awesome hazmat-suit with filtrated AC the whole weekend like some badass CDC Action-Man. Bad news was that it left little time for replying. <br><br>So sorry about that, I was really friggin tired and bummed out. I wanted to give everyone a chance to get a last word in before the time-skip anyway, so look forward to that when I get back from work today.

				I think the Transition kinda threw things off...which it usually does.&nbsp; Maybe we should have made the transition into a mission brief for the company kinda like the way we started out the opening scene at the beginning.&nbsp; That way it gives everyone a chance to get into the conversation and start the story again.&nbsp; my .02!

				My first option as well, however it's still approx two weeks of travel between Outreach and your destination. And you have been aching a lot about not having time to learn about the new recruits and social things overall. So it was either ignore any social interactions of two weeks and stuff you into a brief like always or allow you to simmer with the new bloods. But if you want to go straight to the mission brief I can easily fix that in my next post, but I suggest you all get to know each other's at least a little bit here in the OOC so that it doesn't seem like you have been locked up during the trip or something. Opinions?<br><br>Also Sel, I have told you not to freebase off the roof, it's not nearly enough to let the parachute extend.&nbsp; :P<br><br>And that's a sweetass Blackie, I wouldn't harp if you want to use that image.&nbsp; ::)

But yeah, tournaments are very wysiwyg. Although, nowadays only 51% of what you bring must represent the choices in your units (in Fantasy at least) so my Tomb King skellies are accompanied by Ushabtis and other monstrosities. Same goes for the individual models, the majority of the model must be GW parts, which is kind of given what with all the unofficial stuff circulating. Never had any problems with my friends though, I've used Guardsmen as Grots (then I got GuardsGrots (http://www.hfmodeling.com/photos/review/5731/cl_goblin_troopers_soviet__5_.jpg)).

				I'll post the brief here for now and will later post the full briefing in the Briefing Thread... BRIEF! D:<br><br><hr><br>The briefing contains basic intel on the world they are headed to and a map of the HyperPulse Generator and its surrounding facility.<br><br>The world is fully covered in water except on the northern-most hemisphere, where great strings of archipelagos are loosely connected by bridges and other heavy infrastructure (there is no map, just a description). The HPG and the planet's largest "city" (contains only about 500,000 inhabitants of mixed Lyran and Rasalhaguean stock) is located on the largest of these archipelagos. The waters surrounding these are rather shallow and should allow for 'Mech movement between them along the reefs. Even though the planet has a rather exotic look from space, the planet's orbital angle and lack of heated stream circulation means the archipelagos are covered in ice and in a perpetual night/twilight cycle. As a contrast the southern hemisphere's ocean is at a boiling point, resulting in the occasional heavy fog banks and snow storms coming in over the northern parts. Generally the temperatures lies between -65<sup>o</sup> and -85<sup>o</sup> Celsius and a gravity rating of 1.1. Overheating is hardly a problem unless you go disco in other words.<br><br>The map over the facility is covered in scribbles pointing towards breaching points and damages in the surrounding walls from the first attack. The local militia is based not far from the facility but consists of only a mechanized infantry company, two tanks and three Urban Mechs. The other merc unit is FWL-based and contains a mix of heavy and medium 'Mechs, no specifics given.<br><br><hr><br>Feel free to ask for clarifications here, I might have missed something that should be divulged here.<br><br>And sure thing, I'll post for Janos straight away!

				Deep space isn't entirely applicable - remember that in a vacuum, the problem isn't generating heat, it's dissipating it. A 'mech would be far more likely to overheat in deep space than it would to freeze.<br><br>But yeah, I doubt any mech would be bothered by icy water, considering every one of them is toting around a small fusion reactor as a power source.

				I had such a weird day today. Went to the very friendly local nerdshop today (no really, all things nerdy in one shop) picked up a few 'Mechs from the bargain bin and then I saw something in the corner of my eyes that drew my attention.<br><br>Girls... und... Panzer?<br><br>A DVD, anime, with schoolgirls riding a PzKmpf IV E. I read the description on the back. My mind went wtf and then blank. I suddenly arrived home with six 'Mechs and a DVD-case. I sat down after an hour with my newly assembled 'Mechs and though, hey, I can watch this by the side while I paint the little buggers. 12 episodes and an OVA later I had barely primed one of the little buggers.<br><br>My outer grown up said "what the fuck?"<br>My inner child went "TAAAANKS!"<br>My inner nerd replied "Oh no, I can name all those tanks as soon as I see them... what have I done with my life..."<br>My inner tank-enthusiast fired of with "A Pz38 CAN'T DO THAT!! D:"<br>My inner pervert could only say "Erwin, my love!"<br><br>(http://s10.postimg.org/uhrakofcp/3453455.jpg)<br><br>My outer grown up said "Dude, she's like 16!"<br>My inner pervert said "Nu-uh, I checked on the intermahwebz, totally 18."<br>My outer grown up said "They all say that!"<br>My inner pervert said "It's what you choose to believe that counts."<br>My outer grown up cried tears of joy on the inside until my inner child drowned.<br><br>The End! Do not pray for me, I am going to hell.<br><br>...<br><br>I also realized that my second anniversary on E passed me by last night. Good times! Also, we can count the briefing as being over and move onto socializing. Good luck!

				Speaking from experience a properly clad soldier can function without hindrance for about half an hour in -40<sup>o</sup> before physical faculties deteriorate. After that it deteriorates rather slowly, but exponentially the body will have a harder and harder time to keep its body temperature up. A MechWarrior emerging from an active mech I suspect however, doesn't have the luxury of proper arctic gear, in which case the deterioration starts within the first minute of exposure. Sure, one could argue that they can keep a coat in the cockpit, but the gear needed for actual actions in such conditions are rather extensive and hard to slip into in the cockpit of most 'Mechs.<br><br>Although that's reality.

				Also, consider the temperature differential of a running 'mech compared to arctic conditions; going from the relatively warm confines of the cockpit (ranging, on average, around 18C when walking to well over 50C when firing all weapons) to -30 or lower is such a physical shock to the body that it can cause damage as well. There's a reason most 'mechs have small survival lockers in the cockpit, after all.

				Not to sound nitpicky, Andi, but that IC attitude towards Comstar is still a few years too early. In 3049, ComStar was viewed as a largely benevolent (if weird) organisation that helped humanity stay in contact across interstellar space. The average person doesn't worry about them at all, and has no reason to suspect that they're evil or up to something. Generally, they come off as the good guys.<br><br>Yeah, we all know the truth OOCly, but ICly only a tiny few (House lords, cheifs of Intelligence) have any reason to suspect them

				Can't really blame him. since where we are in the timeline is still rather fuzzy. Though I agree that anything other than trust in ComStar is definitely unusual, given that the general public doesn't even find out they cooperated with the Clans to begin with until after Tukkayid.<br><br>On the other hand, mercs are the most likely 'common' people to dislike/have suspicions about ComStar's ambitions, so it's not out of the question for that to be a logical belief IC.

				Had to push the skip forward because of work. It will be implemented tomorrow. Until then, take a little time to discuss what possible interactions you may have had up until the point. It's worth noting that Walter has pushed everyone into tasks aboard the Bastion and Citadel where integration has been key so you can all count as having at least seen each other and perhaps even shared some background, experiences and longing glances. The trip overshoots a week because of technical difficulties so the in-game time is two weeks of travel total. One week into it Janos returns to light service and bosses the techs around in the mechbay. On the last day Miyoko returns to light service after an intense surgery and rehabilitation program. Erich have noticed a bit of a cold distance between Perkins and Walter after a yelling match they had on the bridge at the start of the trip. So far the bridge crew has been very tight lipped about the subject of their anger with each other.<br><br>That's it for now, have to go! I'll be here to and fro all night but won't be able to post anything definite, just answer questions and hear you out on what you want done during the two week trip.

				Not really, it's a relatively short walk between the Bastion and the building itself. While it is fucking cold, it's not eyeballs-freezingly cold.

				I would say it is Antarctican in general, but a bit flatter. <br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/dc/Werden_Map.jpg)<br><br>I can imagine ridges going along the outer coastal parts but never reaching higher than about 50 meters. The ground you are standing on is solid, so Robert sinking through the ice is very much impossible as it is. In the image going from the brightest to the darkest tones the brightest parts are of course snow and ice covered ground, then comes thick ice covering water (more than enough to keep any 'Mech above but with some spots were it could go through like Paladin did in his post), then the light blue shows where the water is shallow enough for sealed 'Mechs to walk through and the deep blue is the deep blue, good bye insurance and good bye life.<br><br>The HPG-facility is surrounded by rudimentary LRM and Laser turrets, more for show than anything else. The local garrison is mostly mixed tanks and AFVs with a few Urban Mechs. Infantry is available but kept within the hab-blocks for obvious reasons.

				Huun Huur Tu - Chiraa-Khoor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bDntRWfL70#ws)<br><br>This is the Tuvan variation of throat singing. The clear whistling tone you can hear during some parts are actually done by the singer at the same time as he is creating a darker tone with his throat.

				My humble opinion......It would be wise to keep the Raven with Recon and simply deploy recon to support Command and Fire the way it normally is done.&nbsp; Recon would never be very far from heavy support and would usually only be there to target for the heavies and draw small groups towards the heavier mechs once contact has been made.&nbsp; Hence the reason for speed and maneuverability.&nbsp;

				Command Lance: Your sensors show 4 medium 'Mechs some 150m behind you.

They have not been visible until now, physically or sensor-wise.<br><br>Recon Lance: Visibility seems worse than for the other two lances and added to that you seem to be under strong ECM disruption.

I have given people excessive time to get in posts in between the plot-progression posts but from now on I will post one every monday without regards to player-posts.

You'll just have to live with taking Dayan's recommendation and returning to the bay. If there is anything you want to say within the lances or the company before you return that is perfectly fine, all comms have returned to normal again. If I was unclear with something, don't hesitate to ask.

				Not to be that GM-guy, but not Robert nor any travelling merchant in 3050 would have any idea what a CLPS is. The only reason Janos even know what it is was because he was part of an advanced engineering R&amp;D team on Betelgeuse and even so he mislabels the Chameleon but bunching it together with the Null Sig. That and for plot convenience. It is a bit too out of the blue for Robert to know of a secret LosTech that the ComStar secret service have murdered countless hundreds to keep secret through such vague means as manuals sold by merchants on the Exterminator, which in itself is a closely guarded secret of the ComGuard.

				Hrm. That is a problem. <br>I can either lose the 'accent' part entirely while retaining the pattern of speech, or spoiler-tag an ooc translation. Whichever you'd rather, really - I'm good with either.

				Just wanted to apologies to each and every one of you for my disappearance for the first 2/3rds of the month. Been a lot of things going on, and my muse has decided to abandon me on top of other factors. Sincerely sorry I'm not in here with better news for you in that regard; hope to get a post out as soon as I'm able, though.

				Hmm, well that certainly is a problem. Perhaps we should discuss how to remedy that? All of us. Because be it as it may, but if you all feel the thread has actually run out of juice I think it is more important that you say so , so that I in turn can make a decision if I want to drop it and remake it.

				OK; bear in mind that this is a) just my opinion and b) not aimed at anyone. In truth, I know that I'm guilty of a lot of what I'm about to say here, and that I feel that I haven't given the game my best by a long way.<br><br>I think that we've had a number of problems that we haven't really addressed that have been sitting for a long time which might be why we're at this point. In truth, I think that many of them are things we can't really fix without starting over, but at the very least if we are going to keep going, then I think we need to change things up a bit.<br><br>The biggest problem to me is that the characters aren't really engaging with each other and don't really have much cohesion or connection to one another. There's a number of reasons that I see for this. First up is the way the plot tends to make sudden jumps; I understand the need to move the plot along, true, but sometimes it's done at bad points like when we're actually getting characters to talk to each other.<br><br>While we did create the "Downtime" thread for such things, unfortunately it never was used. I think the main problem there is simply that the DT thread didn't exist at the start of the game and as such was largely overlooked once it went live. There wasn't much motivation to use the thread given that it was pretty much redundant after the fact.<br><br>There also wasn't much OOC communication about characters or plans for them either, which I think did stifle development a lot. While I'm not saying that every little move needs to be planned in detail, I think there should have been a little more discussion of what everyone was going to do and ways to get more people involved, or long-term character development and such. Certainly I think a few things and character plans could have been better communicated.<br><br>Finally on characters, to be fair, when characters did interact they tended to form up into small clumps and interact within those but not outside of them. I know that I'm guilty as all hell of this, but at the same time there were very few attempts at characters to leave their "clump" and engage with others.<br><br>That's pretty much what I wanted to say. As it stands, I really don't know what I want to do with this game. I've been struggling with it for a long time, and it's really not worked out as I'd hoped, and certainly I'm lacking in any ideas of what I want to do next.

				I gave this some thought over the weekend and I am shutting this game down. The problems and mistakes made just can't be ignored anymore and while a slow pace is not always detrimental, this is looking more and more like beating a dead horse.<br><br>I have opened up a <strong>new game</strong> (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=188598.0) where I will implement all the lessons I have learned from this game. It will take place in 3057 and still follow a very much changed Old Bones Mercenary Company. You are welcome to aply with old or new characters.

				Warg, can you give us a thumbnail sketch of what the Old Bones got up to during the Clan Wars? Any of us who plan on re-apping with our existing characters, assuming they stayed with the company the whole time, will want to know that information to include into our background. Maybe take suggestions if people have ideas on where or what we did?

				Working on it. Will be up in a moment.<br><br><hr>General storyline as planned for this arc (of course something entirely different could have happened as well depending on your actions):<br>While the others are socializing in the recreation facility Janos goes out to investigate the mysterious plate that the stealth infantry man was standing on. After finding it he is unable to find out its true nature but is lead away from it by a strange signal. His 'Mech is ambushed, blown up and its wreckage quickly covered up by the snow storm.<br><br>Perkins is found shot dead the next night among the buildings of the facility. Security tapes show that he left the DropShip and met someone in the night who shot him after a brief conversation. Ever since Sera Perkins is missing as well, along with Janos. The company is of course suspicious of just about everyone. After finding evidence that Sera was the probable murderer the armored infantryman arrives at their MechBay with an unconcious Janos. The infantryman removes his helmet and reveals that it is in fact Sera.<br><br>She explains that she is actually part of ROM, the secret service of ComStar, and investigating the Demi-Precentor for his involvment with a treasonous organization within the sect. She explains that the metal plate is most probably a tech-cache full of LosTech and a library much like the Helm Memory Core. She also suspects that the Netzach are employed by the Demi-Precentor rather than ComStar itself.<br><br>What follows is a cat and mouse game which would probably have ended up thusly: the Demi-Precentor dies at either theirs, Sera's or the Netzach's hands, revealing to the player characters evidence that Sera is in fact part of the treasonous sect called the Word with his dying breath. Sera killed Perkins and lead the company into believing she was working for the good guys. When the team moves to intercept her from reaching the cache, which she can now open thanks to information taken from the Demi-Precentor they are ambushed by a small group of mysterious 'Mechs. Clanners!<br><br>After a short but fierce battle two things will happen: Either one of the players have talked to the Clan Elemental about their culture (nope!) and knows about the Zellbrigen or Walter arrives, once more in his Highlander, and challenges the Clan leader to a Trial of Possession between the two. While this duel is fought the Clanners stand down, but the Company instead has to fight the Netzach who believes the company is working for the traitor Sera.<br><br>If the battle becomes a masochistic party as it tends to and the company is losing against the Netzach, Walter wins the duel (barely) and the Clanners join the fray. The Netzach defeated the group makes chase after Sera. Once they arrive to the entrance of the cache a powerful EMP blast shuts down the 'Mechs temporarily and the marooned warriors must make it to the cache on foot. Once there they confront Sera's henchmen of the Word inside the cache.<br><br>The battle becomes desperate when Sera turns up in a Star League era BattleMaster. After a while it becomes clear to the characters that to defeat her they must detonate one of the weapons, bringing down the cache around her. With Sera dead along with her henchmen and the cache blown up, the team is picked up by a small ROM DropShip. After being debriefed their guilt is cleared and they soon leave with their rewards and some new recruits, including surviving clanners and Netzach's.<br><hr><br>As for what happens after that, I had not planned that far ahead, instead opting to give you control of the coming missions and actions. So it would be fun to have your input on that.<br><br>Edit: Do keep in mind the above is very generalized. I am not at all an expert on Clanners and the part with the duel I added as a way to allow future new players to play a few Clanners. I decided to look into the details further as the duel drew nigh and might even had dropped it entirely if it became too rediculous. I blame MW4 for putting this idea in my head.&nbsp; ::)

				Well, I'd like one of the missions the Bones went on during the War to be defending a planet in Kurita space. I plan on wrapping up Alroy's planned angst-ridden character arc about his estranged adoptive 'family' offscreen, and it occurred to me that a good way to speed that along would be the honor-debt incurred if Alroy's unit defended the Yoshikawa estates from a Clan force. Not enough for them to actually accept him, but enough so that they'd stop sending assassins as a birthday present and let him keep the King Crab.<br><br><br>And man, that is a screwy plot...like a murder mystery with Battlemechs.

				Guys and girls. I have been having issues with my job because of a promotion to sergant and upgrade on stress.

I am sorry I havent posted for a long time but I want to rememdy that due to the stress season is coming to a end. I hope you will forgive me and allow me into the new game maybe with a different mech because I got in when you were only accepting specific types of mech.

				I have to admit, I did enjoy practically every part of this story, even though it did petre out; If I reapp for the 'seven years later' sequel, I'll probably still have old Erich hanging about, though, by that point in time, he'll have slowed down a little.<br><br>The Brick would likely still be around in the company, though, even if Erich isn't; After all, would you want to give up 4 PPCs and 16 tons of armour? :P

				Not sure what I want to do here. I had plans for Elisa but they never really came to be. She never really seemed to get much personality or depth, although her lack of interaction time with others probably didn't help that any. Not sure if I want to give her another push or start over.
