Most things will be a combination of skills. Note that not all mecha weaponry might be considered heavy weaponry. You could use it to punch people, which would be closecombat, for example.

As for the combination of attack skills, I accept it, but I would also like the "moving around and doing shit that isn't attacking" skill to be Driving. Mechanics should be kept for emergency repairs and things only a technician would know.
The Mech driver could know which buttons to press to eject critically damaged systems to prevent a total system failure, but he could have no idea on how to avoid said ejection with the use of technical knowledge to prevent the systems from failing.

As for Scelly's request, yeah, why not? The Godsplitter is a nice place to hang out.

If someone wants to build a fighter with a max size of 122 and submit it to me, I can put it into the ship. I predict that I'll be ready to get all this going in a couple of hours.

It think I'm going to double all weapon damage(not missiles). They are basically unable to pierce shields as it works now. Besiders, missiles did get their fair share of buffs already.

Fakeedit: Doubled weapon damage. Further rule changes may occur during the game.

Edit: Looking at your ship, Caellath. Everything looks fine. People may join up with him if they want. (Max of 4)

[10ebbor10]

It does seem I'm going with Irony then.

There are 4 player spots, not including the captain, per ship.

Caelleath has

Scelly
dwarmin
Tiruin

[Caellath]

Tiruin: Medical helmswoman, can shoot at people.
Dwarmin: Fighter pilot, will shoot at people.
Scelly: Will fix shit up, also can shoot at people.

Driving would be driving, but fixing errors and other things would be mechanics. But afterall, if someones mechanics skill is bad, I'll let him use his driving skill +penalty for it. (After all, if you know how to drive it you do pick up some things about how it works) .

[Dwarmin]

Yeah, to make it public that is my vote.

Also, Sai'oda is sort of your general ship security/boarding party/away team gal as well.

[10ebbor10]

Note that you don't need to do everything. You get a nice supply of redshirts from me as well.(Which then level up through yellowshirts to blueshirts and finally greenshirts.)

[Spinal_Taper]

I guess I'd rather go with Caelleth. He will probably get in more fights.

[Caellath]

Jesus, those small fighter/bombers are expensive little pieces of [EDITED]. Seriously, their fighter shield is necessary, but damn it is expensive. Their armor is also crippling for such small things. I'm buying them anyway

@Spinal_Taper: I'm getting into as many fights as possible, my captain's main goal is totally destroying the Conglomerate, which happens to be composed by some of the most powerful Private Companies of the known universe.

Wish I'd known about this in advance; my current living accommodations are rather sparse.

Still, easy enough to fix.

[Spinal_Taper]

Sounds fantastic. Need a super soldier?

[Caellath]

Sounds fantastic. Need a super soldier?

Sure, why not.

@GM: I am making a fighter with both missiles and a ballistic weapon, I want them to protect my heavily armored ass from other fighters. Also, it has a remote control module, just in case one of my crewmen decides to control it from the ship.

Edit: Nevermind, many bays.
Edit2: The fighters will have to protect me only with missiles. And large ones at that, it seems. GRRR. Nope.

Question for the GM: What is the viability of a fighter with a ballistic weapon? The problem I am worried about is accuracy. How much accuracy points should I put into a fighter if it will be restricted to attacking large ships from point-blank range and dogfighting other small ships?

Modular bomber model (modular meaning I can turn try to turn it into a fighter soon):

Spoiler: Haymaker Modular Bomber - It packs quite a punch! (click to show/hide)

Size:122
Health: 12,2
Armor: 25 - Heavy armor (-732)
Shields: 10

Components (122/122)

Bridge: 3 (-0)
Remote control: 3 (-60)
Simple lifesupport: 2 (-5)
VASIMIR: 15 (-150)
Fighter shield: 5 (-250)
Battery: 15 (-150)
Heatsinks: 24 (-240)
Lifeguard escape pod: 5 (-26)
>Size without armaments: 72
Missile launchers: 50 (-50)
-Mix of Loaded Barracuda and/or Armor Cracker Missiles

I'll probably tone that armor down to medium.

[Tiruin]

Yeah, to make it public that is my vote.

Also, Raelin is sort of your general diplomat/boarding party/away team medic/scout sniper as well.

[Caellath]

GM Question: Can I build my support ship without a radar of its own? I would prefer the data from my main ship to be relayed to the allied vessel right by its side than to have two massive energy-consuming radars.

Also: About those 15 Extra missiles my Frigate is carrying, may I have them for free? Those things are as heavy on the ship as they are heavy on my starting budget.

Not that much, you're fighting a large ship(+25%) and from point blank(+25%)

Yess

Yes too, I think, I'm giving other people ammo away fo r free to.
