"How much for a hardpoint mount? And how much to make my riot shield withstand gauss, not military but just civilian/police?"
Ask AM

[sambojin]

((So that's how ER's randomizer gets done behind-the-scenes. I always knew PW's d6 RTD crap was made up.))

Say to Steve again, louder, with a bit more swearing, and possibly including the phrase "By Jingo!" in it somewhere :


"So Steve, this agent you have, was he batshit crazy? I know you said he's not the superstitious sort, but that doesn't mean he's not just fucking insane. The desert does weird things to some people after a while. I mean, cold's not an actual bloody thing, is it? It's sort of the lack of it really, but you still can't eat it either way. Did his handler mention anything else? Not much to go on right now.

Oh yeah, do the locals have any whacked out taboos or customs or anything we should know about? Other than "don't eat cold"? And is it the same planet that the other mob are going? 'Coz I'm bringing a fuck-tonne of water if it is, but at least I'll know not to waste the shit."

[Beirus]

Box time. Get a large green Nyars box with hexagon and...um...vertical line, because nothing can go wrong with self-aware armor, right?

Also, open the box. What's in the box, piecewise, what's in the BOOOX?!

[renegadelobster]

((Huh. Anyone want a medical droid?))

Put the med droid in my locker, then go get the disguised cam-eyes(-5 tokens) and the redundant organs(-4 tokens). After that's done back to the briefing room.

[Nikitian]

At your service, General. Maurice smiled to Miyamoto.

Acquire following supplies from the armory: rope, duct tape, double-sided tape, wires and cables (a couple reels), Milno poke-sticks, a double handful of metal nuts and bolts (in a bag or something), a few lightsticks like those we used on Mission 6, a few sheets of paper and several pencils, a couple cans of spray paint (various colors),  a couple bottles of HMRC Standard, a carton of each kind of smokes, a pipe of mundane/ubiquitous kind (or its common space-future equivalent, hopefully allowing in-suit smoking) - nothing special to be charged tokens, a lighter/modern equivalent of, a few sheets of most basic cloth, a few bottles of water, some extra food rations (standard suit-feeding stuff) and a tactical backpack to hold all of the above. Verify if anything would cost me tokens.
Maurice smiled half-ironically, half-apologetically as he spoke to the Armory Master, requesting the long list of supplies.
Hazardous Material Requisition all the way. In case they ever want us to prove it.

((@Piecewise Maurice participated in the initial phase of the Defense of Hephaestus. Well, sort of. ))

Maurice Sanctor - Team D Medic
Understood.
Take cover. Flip the MFM open and ready for use.

You take cover up against the wall, just under the firing slit, with your MFM open and ready to break physics.

Another bunker full of people with an aversion to shooting. How odd.

The last action I was able to post, the very initial salvo of the Defense. And then, four or five turns later, somewhere around the middle of the first enemy assault:

TEAM D
The shell that hits your bunker is from one of the BIG guns. The thing that fires traincars filled with molten lead. The fact that none of you are prema-dead is basically just displaying the fact that I'm actually far too nice in how I calculate this stuff sometimes. Anyways, the thing doesn't even hit the bunker straight on, it just sort of clips the corner of it, which, of course, basically blows the fucking thing to pieces and those people it doesn't kill are either now buried underground or still up on the surface, thrown free with the debris.
<...>
Maurice is down in the tunnels, both legs broken.

Which put him out for the rest of the fight.

((Huh. Anyone want a medical droid?))

((I might be interested, but probably won't be able to buy until after the mission. How much would you want for it?

@Piecewise Is the medi-droid Med-controlled or Aux-controlled? Or, like the Gunner Bot, rolling for things on its own?))

[renegadelobster]

((I'm thinking four tokens. Seeing as how I don't currently have any Aux or Med skill anyways, kinda useless to me. If it rolls on its own that would be handy, still gonna keep it for sale though))

[Gentlefish]

PW: Fleshy is all that matters, Human not so much. All that matters is punching things into pieces. Well, and a human-ish silhouette.

ALSO I AM ON THE LIST OF M18 ((unless Milno wants me in the spec-ops))

I assume you want to pay for this and not try to fight...who is our resident mutant? Xan, thats right. Pay for it and not have to fight xan. I'm thinking bone plates, multiple arms, high density muscle, and a Big-O style bone piston to really REALLY make use of the amp's full force.

How much cash you got?

Uuuh, if I sell back a monorazor I've never used and get the full two tokens back, that would make seven tokens.

E: If there's an UnCon prototype, I'll take one along for funsies. ((Why is it not a fucking backslash like literally every other language I work in gdi))

[Lenglon]

Sticking with Maurice
((but yes, I'm interested in the next mission, and still have shopping to do.))
third time's the charm:

oh, and Lyra never got the mission end tokens from mission 12. she didn't do a whole lot, but she was active for the ground action and attempted to engage and be helpful throughout. could she get the standard 5 tokens added to her current 3 for a total of 8?

Haven't pressed this since I've been on-ship, but if I'm going to try to join a mission I kinda need a reply, even if it's a 'no'

Welp, if it's time to bring up tokens now... here it is.

If I have 7+ tokens, then buying a mass manipulator amp (confusing name on that thing by the way)
If I don't, then saving what few I have for later.

[Parsely]

HOBBY DECKARD WOULD LIKE IN ON:
MISSION 18

Also grab TWO free, deadly prototype pieces of equipment from the AM that I have no idea how to work, as well as poooossssiiibbllyyy a basic medikit or chemical torch if I can get my hands on it.

[Toaster]

Brother Lars, after spending some time in thought, raises his voice again.  "Most Holy Steve, how shall I refer to you and your greatness while on this mission?


Reflect on the opinion of Wayfarers on the religions of others.  Ask Steve.

[NAV]

Get one of Anton's prototype laser cannons if there are any available.

[Kedly]

I would like to be on mission 18. Also the wiki says I have 5 tokens I have no idea how I got since we didn't get paid for mission Stan

[Kriellya]

Give you a little brain goblin that just kicks you in the brain stem whenever you're about to do something stupid. Organic Decomp huh? I've got an idea for one. Should be hilarious. YAWANTIT?

It would be fine. Security wouldn't stop you for that and if it looks human no one outside would notice it.

See, when you phrase things like that, it makes me concerned that you got the Doctor involved, which is something I would like to avoid
You also haven't given me a price for that, which makes me *really* concerned that it's a Doctor project now, and that I should be backing away slowly before he pops into the armory and just drags me away XD

Alright, let me sketch out what I'd like.
I really like the idea you gave a couple years ago: Some kind of med bonus powered by increased empathy, with the downside of needing a will roll whenever someone nearby gets injured. I'd like something like that. Make it a dyn-bonus conditional on the will roll. Pass the roll, and you get a dyn-bonus to treating them. Fail it, and I have to suck my thumb with them or make a med roll through pain, or even treat myself depending on the specifics of their injury.

If the above seems reasonable, could I get a price on it?

Otherwise, give me the price on the decomp idea you came up with. Because I assume you're not going to tell me what it is until I agree

Spoiler: Math (click to show/hide)

I'd also like to observe that for 'skilled' players, a decomp is a way stronger effect than a dyn-bonus. A dyn-bonus helps 1/3 of the time, no matter your skill level, until the skill exceeds +4, in which case the bonus helps 1/6th of the time, and 2/3rd of the time you overshoot tremendously. The best decomp effect helps 1/6 of the time at +0, and increases in effectiveness as the player gets more skilled. At +1, the two effects have the same power, and at +2 decomp wins out, helping half the time.

((A dynamic bonus is more powerful, though, because it's an unconditional help. At 0 skill, it "helps" five out of six times, because it improves any roll that isn't a 5. It does help less and less as skill increases though, because you have more chance of overshot. But those cases are covered by a decomp. All in all, a combination of the two is best.

I wonder if we could have some sort of advanced training course available, that would add a point to the character's dynamic bonus? Say, up to his regular bonus in the stat? I.e. if you have a natural skill of +2, then training could increase your dynamic bonus to +/-2. Make it in true CRPG fashion and have it be purchased with skill levelup points. ))

[Spinal_Taper]

If you need me for the next mission, I'm available. I would like to stay on the ship for the next mission, however.

Chug some sweet space hooch. Pour some out for the fallen homies. But keep most.
