[Doomblade187]

The Gau-laser hybrid has already been done by Nikitan's old character, it's called the chimera gun

((Did it use a generator, and is it available in the armory?))

[Unholy_Pariah]

((Your patronage would be most appreciated, also what kinda thing are you making?

@paris and radio, actually i probably dont need an entire battlesuit seeing as im a "medic" perhaps i should take the exosuit so that you guys can get the battlesuit and the avatar, whaddya think?))

((I'm trying to make a generator-based gauss rifle/laser rifle combi-weapon. Inventive? No, but it works. I might try to make it an electrolaser, too- Denzel might have though that the red hand was a cool idea.))

Oh yeah, nikitian designed one of those. Could be interesting to see a tesla version.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Chimera Gun Mk I
Status: schematics available
Ammo: N/A (pulse) : 2xGauss clip (not included
in the price)
Stat requirement: Strength 3 (4 with standart
clips, 7 with drum magazines).
Rate of Fire: Varies
Range: Short: +0 Medium:+1 Long: +0 (pulse) :
Short: +1 Medium:+0 Long: -1 (gauss)
Design: The pulse rifle merged with the standart-issue gauss rifle and powered by 3 extra charging
circuits.
Known specials: Standart-issue laser rifle
configurable intensity (default: 10 (max)) and
diffusion (default: 1 (min)) of the beam settings;
standart-issue gauss rifle overcharge setting; the
four charging circuits can power the pulse part, the
gauss part (including parallel charging for
increased rate of fire and simultaneous, for
improved penetration) or any combination of
thereof; four-circuit simultaneous overcharge can
be used for 20 times before completely deforming
the coils. Pre-built charging circuit combinations
include: A (3p:1g, for medium range combat), B
(1p:3g for close-range combat), C (0p:4g
simultaneous, for penetrating armor), D (0p:4g, for
seldom occasions of energy-resistant foes), E
(4p:0g, for seldom occasions of kinetic-resistant
foes). Can use increased capacity (30 rounds each)
drum magazines instead of normal ones. Standart-issue special gauss ammo available (AP, HP,
Melter, Redshell and Blackshot). High kickback?
(not confirmed yet).
Designer: Nikitian Greiss

((Hell, I'd buy Gil, with money completely up front, the only issue is that I don't know if I should get a synthflesh instead. Synthflesh would let me continue with the phase armor always available and give some nice bonuses (including that from the Neurophotonic Spinal Column, which would let me reroll rolls of 2 or lower), but Gil would add that much more plating between me and having to roll for it.))

((Buy the synthflesh, the dex will keep you away from most avoidable attacks and the nuerophotonic spine will let you reroll the first failed exo roll so chances are you will never get hit by anything again.
Plus you buying Gil would screw up the sweet deal im trying to set up.  ))

((Regarding the synthflesh+exosuit, I was under the impression that you couldn't wear the MK stuff after you got a robot body. And with Synthflesh being quite large... Although for extra price it would probably be possible to adapt an exoskeleton for it.

And yeah, if that happens, it breaks the system. My favorite moments were when Faith was in the berserk mode, and her best rolls were actually 1's, since with a +4 bonus you get 5 overshoots, and it's the 1 that actually hits. ... Everything is broken...

Actually, that made me think of something. The 5=perfect works for no bonuses or a +1 bonus, but when you get something like a +4, it's kind of... weird. Should the number for a perfect roll change if somebody gets Faith enraged level bonus, or (god forbid) a +5 to rolls? I mean, seems a bit unfair for someone with no decompensator to have 0% change of not overshooting. I didn't bring it up earlier since we haven't reached that stage of ridiculousness, but I feel that now may be a good time.))

((Oh and the chimaera is 8 tokens, but you could probably make it a lot cheaper by ditching the overcharge circuitry and using single standard gauss clips.))

((Did it use a generator, and is it available in the armory?))

Yes, 4 of them that could be directed to charging the laser, charging the gauss for rapid fire, or charging the gauss for overcharge shot. and i don't think Steve ever said, YEA that's a good thing we should stock it

No wolf, bad.
It uses 1 generator and 4 overcharge circuits.

((That was actually my favorite part too, because I was deathly afraid of those amp clubs, and here I'm rolling natural 1s to either not get clubbed or counterclub them first, but it works anyway because lolberserk.

I agree the excessive bonus thing is weird, but remember that it doesn't really come into play until you're at +2 going on +3, since that's trading your 3s for 9s, which is at least questionable. At that point, you're probably breaking things enough to expect to have to get weird to keep operating/get even stronger.))

((Regarding the synthflesh+exosuit, I was under the impression that you couldn't wear the MK stuff after you got a robot body. And with Synthflesh being quite large... Although for extra price it would probably be possible to adapt an exoskeleton for it.))

((Actually, there's no real description of the synthflesh's size, at least not in the armory. I wouldn't peg it at being too much larger than average, really. I think the whole thing about the MK suits being modifiable to let the synthlimb remain outside is because there's not much reason to put the suit over it, the MK suits being so crappy. Stuff like exoskeletons/suits, though, probably would fit fine.

Also, if I go for a synthflesh, I will start running into a 2/3 chance for a +2 to dex rolls. 2/3 for a +3 if the leg or arm features activate (+1 to rolls involving leg or arm use, roll type notwithstanding). And I can't easily roll anything that won't start overshooting me vice NSC. In other words, I see level 3 Decomps in my near future (they're more cost-effective than the level 4 decomps).))

[Unholy_Pariah]

((You would also be getting at least +2 to endurance though, and your dodge rolls would be extraordinary.

Why dont you test the combo in vr first if your worried about overshot severity?))

((You care to explain how they are? Because I don't think they are most cost-effective:

Cheapest: 1/3 chance to prevent overshoots. Do so by simply stopping you from acting.
second Cheapest: 1/3 chance to reduce your overshoot to a number beween 3-5 instead.
second most expensive: 1/3 chance to prevent overshoots by bringing roll down to 5 
Most expensive: always prevent overshoots by bringing the total down to 5.

Token cost in order: 5,7,10,20.

And that's not including the fact that a decomp takes the place of one of the amp spaces, meaning you can only have 3 maximum.

The standard synthflesh is 8 feet. I don't think anything compatible with the suit is an option. A smaller synthflesh however, is probably buyable, but something tells me Piecewise would just say that the bonuses from larger synthflesh vs exoskeleton equal out.))

((@Tiruin: I just noticed your equipment question. You can see your stats and equipment here, at least the stuff piecewise considered important enough to write down:

I had heard that we did not yet have a Suicide King.
And therefore I enter this game. Hello new friends.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Teal The Arsonist, born as John Doe
Age: ~30s
Gender: Male
Appearance: Imposingly large and muscular, scarred almost beyond all recognition and with a bald head.
Personal information: His name is literally 'The Arsonist'. His parents didn't love him or weren't around or something. When he entered the prison system, they picked 'Teal' as a name for him. He treated this name with the same standard disinterest as he showed most other things in life.
I guess when you sit down with him and really get to know him He is one of those big men with a hard shell who end up being soft-hearted grizzly bears.
However the only accessible way to his 'emotional side' involves fire or explosives. His dates are typically short lived and volatile, which is much like how he enjoys most things in life.
Reason assigned to HMRC: Arson.
Impossible to assess exact caseload.
For example: most recent case could be treated as one count of 'Arson', or 4,226,842,623 counts of Murder, 900,000 counts of Arson and 800 counts of 'Destruction of federal property', as somehow he managed to torch a planet.

I'm also hoping I can preliminary Armory purchases?

If so:

- Teal orders a megaton charge. Upon being informed he can't afford it, he looks ruefully at the price listings and orders two 1/8 Kiloton charges, and then reconsiders, does some calculations on his fingers and orders one 1/8kt boom, a Gauss Rifle and uses the last token buying... I dunno, cherry bombs, or Fireworks.

You were right, unbolded action did get overlooked.
Either that or Piecewise is getting sick of the massive amount of players at tinker doing actions.
In which case I'll be happy to put this character sheet in a while later when more people have died.
Unless people are rerolling and jumping straight bac kin, which would make it an empty gesture.

((There is no waitlist, we all just jump back into the onship thread and wait for mission slots to open while we get gene therapies, design superweapons or kill each other over the tv remote.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

-snip-
Anyone have an opinion on this? Cause I'm really at a loss here.))

((What would...your character do?))
((And if you're selling, how much is Gil and how would you present the sale to Grate?))

It's the moment you've all been (in some cases angrily) waiting for:

-snip-

((My favorite bit was either when he mentioned that you should try to keep us from killing too many people, and the next post was a response to Xan's flames and Ice-9, or when he advised to just kill the Radiant One and ignore the plan. Same PM, it seems.))


((Since no one has responded to my well-veiled request for someone with nothing critical to do to chat with Grate...))

after getting a sandbag from the armory, wander over to the infirmary, my steps slowing as I get near. once I'm halfway through the waiting room at the entrance, pause in my steps and then turn around and find a seat in a corner. look down at my feet and periodically glance around at my surroundings. wait.

Grate notices Lyra and follows. Why was she going to the infirmary? Was she sick? That didn't seem likely. Maybe she had a sister? Maybe her sister was...no, they only look a little alike...besides, what're the odds?
He could always hope. Right?

"Lyra, what are you doing in here?"

[Thearpox]

((Since no one has responded to my well-veiled request for someone with nothing critical to do to chat with Grate...))

((I have a suggestion for him, but it's the same as before; get drunk. I mean seriously, we've got only one seriously addicted alcoholic in here, that's pathetic. Also, you can't really expect much RP during the mission preparations.))
