Reset the sim again, same as last time except this time I'm just an invisible observer (I can do that, right?). Spawn a General from the Altered War noted for his/her strategic abilities with the same equipment as me. Watch the battle under their command and take notes.
1. Do you want to let the one in the command position reposition your troops or just stick him where you would be?
2. Same overview response?
Looks like everything is coming together- just need the exact parts.
((What is the hover platform capable of? Does it just hover a foot or so over solid ground, or can it float up higher into the air? Could a person mount it, ride up twenty feet, and provide fire from above?))
The weapon testing was done- it was just a matter of choosing between precision and broader damage potential. The platform was more involved, especially hover versus tracked. Again, more testing was needed.
Action: Test the three cheapest tracked platforms for performance. See their max speed on dirt. Test how they handle a moderately rocky plain, a debris-covered battlefield, and a steep mountain.
((Can I get price quotes in VR or do I have to go to the armory for it?))
The hover platform can raise and lower but can't angle itself, so it can move like a elevator but not work to fire down unless you can actually tilt the gun itself down.
The cheapest can handle inclines of 30 degrees, the next can handle 40 and the last can handle 50. In the cases mentioned specifically, rocky ground proves no problem assuming the rocks are only a foot or two high, the debris is similar, presenting no problem as long as it isn't massively tall, pointy or otherwise impassible, and the hill, well see the incline data above.
You click around for a few minutes, not finding much until you run across a show called "Magic Bootcamp: A children's guide to the army." The first words uttered by the presenter as you stop on the channel are "Special, fatal, kind of hug."
Truly, the very idea of me, a grown man and a convict no less, watching a childrens show is simply ridiculous. I am much too old for this kind of thing, it can't possibly teach me anything new.
continue watching anyway
Oh god, oh god, are they showing toddlers how to suffocate a man with a dirty diaper? That's just mean, man, thats just mean.
Bishop sighs and rubs the back of his head and stands up again.
"Figures, of course it's not easy. Alright, what's next?"
Try luring him towards me and when he moves to attack, rush inside his reach and flip him.

The doctor doesn't move as you dash in and grab hold of him, trying to flip him onto his back. You strain against him but he doesn't move, feeling for all the world like he weighs as much as a small car and is welded to the floor.
"A bit weak eh?" the Doctor says, staring at you while you struggle weakly against him.
(Enhanced blow: Allows you to use a double str roll rather then a single when testing str for a blow or combat action. However, requires a end check after and may cause injuries as you over exert yourself.)
Jim merely gently moved the man aside with the back of his hand; he was still awaiting a reply from the (hopefully) customer and didn't want to get distracted.
(And on that note I will be gone for almost all of tomorrow, if not all, so... later. ^^^)
You shove the man aside and keep staring at the potential customer. Staaaaaaring.
((Well, I belive that I can avoid holding it up to much.))
"Uh, can I get a sword from you?" Denzen nervously asked the giant robot (SeriousConcentrate).
You pay 2 tokens to the robot and he hands you a rather giant sword.
Continue looking through means of propulsion
There's jets, but they don't work without oxygen. You could try and make it actually fly by flapping, but using a machine for that is pretty freaking tough. Also needs some sort of atmosphere.
Feel sad and lonely
It's not easy being an unstoppable machine built for pure murder.
"You cannot hope to defeat me, Chompers! Even Big Tim couldn't defeat me, and he cheated like an absolute bastard!"
Taunt Chompers to throw him off his game, then proceed with the Ultimate Air Hockey Showdown.
'Ha, you fool. I practically gave you that first point. You have nothing on me!'
Crush him like the whelp he is, show him the power of AIR HOCKEY KING JESUS!

The puck zips back and forth, bouncing off walls, curving, catching air and ricocheting about like a jet propelled super ball. No one manages to score.
Kill it. then take its weapon.

You swing again, aiming to put the blade right through the creature's chest, but you're too early and carve air as the Ram steps in and swings again, catching you in the left arm with it's mace. Steel rebar spikes screech and bend against your armor as the full weight of the mace shoves you several feet to the side. You keep your feet under you and ignore the diagnostic warning about ejecting damaged armor.
