Snap kick him in the face.
[dex:5]
[man dex:4]
[str:5]
You snap your foot up into the man's chin. It's a glancing blow but still a powerful one.
[man end:5]
The man doesn't seem at all effected by it though.
Examine components and layout of a laser rifle.
The laser rifle is fairly basic; just the battery, laser emitter and a barrel of focusing chambers.
Nik, don't even think of stopping, if any more of those buggers get on, we're screwed.
Gunner, I'm closing the hatch so we can take a brief moment to reload.
Shut that door, counting on the powerful hydraulics to break anything in their way.
Flip my radio to general channels in the sim, so that soldiers outside can hear.
All soldiers outside, this is the AMBP Prototype, if you can see us, please assist, we're covered in Altered and cannot rearm our main armament until the outside of the vehicle is secure. Do not hesitate if you think that you'll hit us, this thing has some damn thick armor. However, when I give the order, you'll need to cease your fire at any Altered on us so we can open the rear hatch and clean up the rest ourselves.
Make a note while waiting for the gunner to finish reloading and get back in position, look into alternative ammunition that would work like buckshot, so that if two AMBPs are near each other and one gets covered in hostiles, the other can "scratch its back", killing the hostiles on the outside while not being able to penetrate the massive sloped armor of the AMBP.
Also, silence my outside microphone so that the massive amounts of noise from our rifles doesn't distract me.
(When you talk about buck shot are you talking about for your rifle or for the rifles mounted on the tank?)
You hit the hatch close button and continue to fire till the hatch is closed. You and the gunner reload as you slap the external intercom button and deliver your speech.
"You know," the gunner says, slipping a magazine into his rifle, "That may not be a good idea. Some of those guys have Gauss can-"
The rest of his words are lost as the world blooms white.
Game over.
Keep the 'tank' moving.
(( Now, has my character ever seen (or heard of) a tank (other than in his ancient history classes, I mean, which he mostly skipped)?
Also,
Search through the database for current equivalents of the old tread system used on armored vehicles.
Also reshape the ARSC's body to be more rectangular, rather than wedge-shaped, and add a rotating armored mount on top, shaped like a hexagon but with the front elongated. Also, the sides of the vehicle and armored mount are sloped to 45 degrees inward.
Adding treads, reshaping the entire thing, adding that mount and all that is gonna be a bit...well intensive. You'd practically be just building an entirely new vehicle using the original for spare parts. You can do it, but it's gonna cost a hell of a lot.
You create your ideal vehicle in the simulation via a liberal amount of help from the computer.
Was the treads system installed, or not? For it wasn't really stated in the action post, and resolving action post is ambigous on that part. ))
His simulation seems to have exploded. Oh dear.
Attack Lukas with a flying Clothsline.
Attack May with a Crooked arm lariat
((Whatever the hell that may be))
[May dex:5]
[Lukas dex:6]
You both swing at each others throats with your arms, attempting to take each other down. You both miss, but Lukas manages to trip and fall, landing in a pile.
And no, the rocket pods would not allow us to fly. 
(( Are you sure?
Because, as I just checked the armory lists, piecewise keeps the distinction between the rocket pods which allow to fly and the jump rocket systems which have a set amount of jumps (and don't confer the ability to truly fly) pretty clear. Well, in this particular situation, I would've appreciate even the latter of the two.
Though that thread system is probably much cheaper, yes (in addition to all other advantages you mentioned). ))
The standard one can fly, just very poorly. It's not really designed for it so it has a bad habit of flipping, crashing and otherwise going wacky when people try to use it for things beyond the norm.
"Huh. Boring. Back into the VR. Let's see what I can do to improve my rifle. Maybe, if I... no, there is no way I could jury rig something like that. Bah, I'll just look at all the weapons."
Enter VR, pull up a scroll list of weapons, and select a gauss rifle.
You materialize a Gauss rifle in the VR machine.
