Charro sighed. He was defeated... For now, at least.
'The remote back home had plenty of buttons... And then I had servants to press them for me.' He thought glumly to himself as he flicked back through the channels.

(( Okay, here we go. I can create a new character, right?

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Maurice Sanctor
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Appearance: Curly short dirty blonde hair, warm and kind hazel eyes, light skin. Average build, 5' 9".
Personal information: A retired military pilot and surgeon, Maurice was beginning to enjoy the slow pace of life of a country doctor when a pro-bioresearch (which was mostly prohibited on the planet, to a far greater extent than in other regions of UWM) riot took place, and he found several wounded people at his place. He couldn't deny medical aid to the wounded, and for that sole reason he was later charged with treason and conducting illegal biological research, for the people he saved turned out to be the rebels. In the end, dr. Sanctor was sentenced to serving in the HMR Corps.
Kind and gentle person, Maurice prefers to avoid conflicts when possible, but takes his gloves off in presence of a threat to his patients. Calm under pressure.
Reason assigned to HMRC: Aiding the Enemy, Treason, Illegal Biological Research (saving the life of a pro-bioresearch rebel, really)

@Nicholas1024 Kyle is probably being haunted by Nik the avid tinkerer who happened to be a pro-government fanatic and a professional soldier. I guess that answers all of your questions  ))

Jim raised a hand to adjust his gasmask slightly as he circled his opponent. Perhaps he should try a different tactic; a double-leg takedown into a mount, from which he could pound the man's face with fists and elbows.

If you're getting these from a list somewhere could you do me a favor and post it? I know exactly squat about these.

You duck low and grab the man behind the knees, attempting to knock him to the ground. You manage to drive him to his knees but can't get him all the way down.

Oh, nukes can be detonated from a distance, You can use your wristpads as detonators. You could even try detonating one on the the ship, if you don't mind slaughtering your own teammates in the blast. Oh, that and being stranded. And pissing off the UWM. I won't stop you from doing pretty much anything, just be prepared for the consequences.

This makes me wonder, how long until people start intentionally teamkilling to take each others' tokens? (Particularly considering how easy it'd be to blame it on just normal mission hazards...)

Also, it'd never work. The armory master would survive. Somehow. (Although there is something tempting about managing to kill literally everyone in one post.)

As per your harpoon gun thing, problem one is that the rod isn't gonna fly straight as just a rod.

Hm, that design isn't exactly accurate. Well, that should be a matter of simply reshaping the rod/amp combination it to make it more aerodynamic, and perhaps elongating the barrel of the gun to improve accuracy. I wouldn't trust it at a distance of more than a few dozen feet, but within that range it should be pretty deadly. Still, if that doesn't work... perhaps a spherical version would work better...

Improve aerodynamics of the rod. If I can't get it to work to satisfaction, take a miniaturized (as much as possible) kinetic amp, embed it into the front surface of a metal sphere (as small as possible, down to normal bullet size), and try that as the projectile. (Keep the retractible chain attached to it)

I suppose I won't be able to really use this, regardless. I know I can't shoot straight, and after what happened back home, I don't particularly want to try. So I wonder... why am I still designing this? I have no doubt this could end up being a decent weapon, but what would I do with it? Give it to the corrupt government that sent me here in the first place? Or perhaps give one of the psychos here a new and better way of killing things? Too many questions, not enough answers...

...

...

Well, if my local government is corrupt, surely there are others equally bad off. Although I don't doubt that plenty of the people here are borderline insane, there have to be at least a few with some basis in morality. Perhaps one of them can use this kinetic amp gun to better effect.

How exactly would you like to increase the aerodynamics of said rod?

"I'll take 'em all. I've got plans, and it will help to know more about what I'm going to do."

Take ALL the manuals and vids, head back to the rec room and go through all of them, starting with weapon mods.

You take the video and the box of manuals back to the Rec room and plop down on the couch. You watch through the weapon related video (Bonus:+1 to modding and repairing standard weapons). Now you just have to choose which manual to start with.

((Hah! I told you people Jim helped me in that first mission!  ))

Concentrate laser fire on the spot that I last remember that worked on the sentinel.

Hmm well the place you shot it the first time was on the bottom of it when you slid by. You get on your back and wiggle your way under the sentinel till you're directly under the center of it. It then extends a spike straight down through your helmet and kills you. Huh.

Charro sighed. He was defeated... For now, at least.

There is no capital, at least not in the sense you're thinking of. There are a dozen or so governmental planets, but they're fairly boring and only house employees.

Got it.


Sorry for the general wait and such. Dragon's Dogma. Oh god, who knew your confrontation with the dragon would be like the mid point of the game.

[Zako]

Bishop shrugs and decides to read through them all alphabetically.

The alphabetizing filter on my brain is still clogged with lazy. You want maybe to look at what manuals you have and choose one?

[Zako]

((Sorry...))

Take a look at what I've got first.

[Yoink]

Charro, getting thoroughly tired of all this, will just make his way to the most popular channel and watch that.
If he can't find the most popular channel, it's time to go (politely) ask the Armory Master for a TV guide.
'Maybe it's not the remote's problem, but mine? Maybe I'm just pressing the wrong button or something. Everything is so confusing these days.'   
>Go to the most-popular channel and watch that, asking the Armory Master for a TV guide if necessary.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jim switched his grip so he had the man by the top of the head and began pummeling him with knees to the jaw.

[Remalle]

Give up on trying to convince someone to soup up my bed and instead tear down the hallways and do donuts at a snail's pace.
"Wheee!"

[Tiruin]

"Well...not one of my good ideas. Actually, what was I thinking?!

"Steve, I'd like to try my hand in tinkering, know of any manuals and such that works on the laser rifle, or at least on the MKI suit?"

Respawn, then start firing a 5 second pulse at the sentinel with laser rifle.

If not: Quit duel and admire the VR machines.

(Sorry, didn't see that query. Uh, I guess technically I'm getting them from the moves list in WWF No Mercy for the N64, but mostly I'm just going off two decades as a wrestling fan. XD)

(Yeah, sorry, I just hate alphabetizing. As a child I was assaulted by a filing cabinet.)
Looks like you have manuals for the Piezoelectric Shard launcher, gauss rifle, laser rifle, Battle suit, Scout eye, and the Organochemistry Overrider Psychokinetic Amplifier.

The most popular channel in the whole UWM, you know it is because it bills itself as such, is one called EXT-pronounced "Ex-Tre"-that is little more then a constant stream violence, sex, and sexy violence interspersed with various degrees of celebrity worship and obsession over the banal actions of the well to do.

[Dex:5]
[Man dex:2]
[Str:2]
You release the hold you have on the man's legs and shift it to his head, bringing your knee up directly into his nose as soon as your grip is secure. Oddly, he doesn't seem to notice.

Give up on trying to convince someone to soup up my bed and instead tear down the hallways and do donuts at a snail's pace.
"Wheee!"

You roll around and do very very slow burn outs and donuts, leaving everyone who sees you mildly confused because of your insane yelling whilst doing so.

"Well...not one of my good ideas. Actually, what was I thinking?!

>Bishop has all the manuals we have right now, he's just behind you over on the couch.

Did you want to keep the rifle with that dial turned by the way?

((Seen the Yahtzee review of it? Couldn't stop laughing. ))

I did, though it becomes pretty evident he didn't play very much of it. Such as saying the love interest is always the same when there's something like a dozen potential love interests (more then a bioware game actually). It was actually one of the really funny things that happened to a lot of people because they maxed their affinity toward some old fat merchant man by doing his quests just before the dragon fight and after the dragon was slain the cut scene that followed had them making out with said old fat man.

That and how he was talking about not fighting giant monsters enough. Since

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

after you beat the dragon the motherfucking apocalypse basically happens, the world is covered in ash rain and dark clouds all the time, and enormous monsters, giant zombies, succubi, gargoyles and all manner of horrible shit is suddenly everywhere. Not to mention that main city of yours, your warm and welcoming home for so long, partially collapses into what amounts to a hellmouth spewing harpies and succubi and half the bloody kingdom wants you dead.

[Zako]

"Right... What to start with first..."

Read the gauss rifle, laser rifle, scout eye, battle suit and shard launcher manuals, in that order.

[Nicholas1024]

Model the aerodynamics of the rod after an oversized modern bullet, as shown here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet

After that, experiment with a ball and chain setup, using a modern cable that can retract into a modified glove, and embedding the kinetic amp inside the metal ball.
