[Sean Mirrsen]

As far as your lasers, I always just saw them as normal lasers but that could be charged, Samus style, with one being bigger then the other. And with the possible chance of hilariously putting the laser blast back through your own shoulder if it breaks.

Well, yes, but the exact specifics are what was never quite agreed on. Is the turn of charge-up mandatory? Is the turn of cooldown mandatory? Will the chance for epic backwards-firing failure only manifest if the cooldown is ignored? That sort of thing.

Also, I'd still like the different firing modes to be used sometimes. Here's what I was thinking, in order to simplify:

UV and IR: Normal, plain old boring lasers. Default is UV, same as regular lasers, but IR can be switched to if it can bypass some UWM standard anti-laser armor that depends on the UV.

Visible light: Basically just visible, with plenty of colors to choose from. Mostly for suppressing fire purposes.

Microwaves: Boil flesh and electrify metal, extend range to Extreme, but can't overcharge. (let's say the weapon overheats too much due to inductive heating or something)

X-Ray: Penetrates armor as ionizing radiation, very nasty and very damaging, but can only overcharge. (very hard to generate, there is always a delay for firing, so might as well fire at maximum power)

Think this would be simple enough to keep track of?

[Radio Controlled]

PW, small question: are there any restrictions to the kind of people we can send (e.g. no battlesuits because in their religion they represent the devil)? Secondly, how many people can this mission have maximally?

PW, could you please answer this? It's kinda important.

Important note: Before the beginning of this mission, the transport ship from Hephaestus meets up with the Sword and delivers its stuff.

It delivers Xan, 300 robosods with no gear, and prototypes of several new devices. There should be 6 MCP suits, 3 Testaments, 3 Spektrs, and 3 Radugas.

The problem is, I still haven't seen a Council-agreed write-up for the Spektr/Raduga weapons.

I'll try and do a write-up myself, but I'd really like some suggestions on how to reconcile the boring reality and the ingame mechanics.

If your idea isn't fully worked out yet, it might be better to postpone it for a mission than to rush it, don't you think? I know it'd be a shame, but since next mission will be leaving very shortly... Yeah. If you really want them to be available, then there's still a few things we'll need to know, such as price (need pw for that), strength requirements and power (for normal and overcharge shot). Oh, and the overcharge wait time we agreed on in the end (charge-shoot-no fire or charge, I think? I remember the last item was still 'contested' and that we'd ask pw's opinion on it?)

And I think we still need pyro's approval, as well as a minimum of testing on the shooting range, no?

EDIT: damn you ninja-Sean.

[Nikitian]

Volenteer for Mission 17.
Qualifications: Surgeon. Also pilot and magic calculator-proficient.
General Miyamoto, if I may. I would like to volunteer for your mission. I humbly suggest that my medical talents might be of use there, and I am confident of my ability to apply lethal force where needed. I might be also better conditioned to resist mind altering, should we run into such danger.

[AoshimaMichio]

I've picked more mechanic locks that electronic, but those aren't much greater challence.

For weapon skills, I would say bit below mercenary. After all, weapons were not my source of income. And purpose of this mission is not really kill anyone. Just shooting to ceiling and looking threatening can get one pretty far, if you were to rob bank during midday... which isn't very good idea.

You don't want me for my fighting skills, you want me for my experience in jobs like this.

Brother Lars turned to Maurice. "Brother Maurice, it is good to see you again.  Have you been well?"

I think we kinda settled on the essentials. Spektr is 5 token, STR 4. Raduga is 11 token, STR 10. Nominal power is ~150% of Laser Rifle or Cutting Laser, respectively. Overcharge is double that. All that remains is the mechanics of the overcharge.

I think testing and prototyping are part of the R&D team's work, but yeah, I should at least notify Simus. PW, is it alright if I squeeze the FEL prototype testing into the pending update on Heph, or will we be sending them out blind?

[SeriousConcentrate]

Even though everyone wants on it, volunteer for Mission 17 anyway. Qualifications: Being Jim possesses and has skill with microwave and mass manipulation amps with a perfect decompensator to prevent accidents, strong physical combatant with an intimidating/unusual body if that turns out to matter.

Volunterring for Mission 16, demolitions expertise could come in handy when faced with a bank vault, or for general mayhem. If i don't get in, then go for Mission 17.

[sambojin]

Volunteer for mission 17 and mission 18.

"Yeah, that sounds like me. I get along with cunts great. Plus I've been dying to show some locals this laser. Fuck yeah! I'm in Miyamoto. I'll only shoot the pricks ya want me too. If not, then we'll see who eats ice faster, a nut-job's bullshit or a regenerating laser rifle."

Turn off kinetic amp. Take laser rifle and backpack generator from the Chief. Go to food dispenser. Press buttons. Get and eat food.

Smiling to greet Brother Lars, Maurice replied:
Thank Steve Almighty, I have. The stasis dementia seems to have subsided, and now I appear fully restored since the unfortunate accident during the Defense.
Have the 'Corps life been forgiving to you lately? I'm happy to see you alive and well. Have any new Miracles of Steve been uncovered to you?

Milno turns his head to face Ulrich instead of continuing to type more responses, since he isn't going to reveal anything secret just by talking. "I am trying to discover the extent of the skills you told me you have since I can't have you try them out right now, can I? We really don't wanna screw this up. But yeah, you don't seem terrible for the job so it's a possibility."

"Maximum number of people we can have in the missions?" he asks, turning his head to glance at Steve's synth-flesh avatar for a moment.

Ask Steve the max number of people we can have on the missions, for expediency's sake.
