Sounds like a good game. Waitlist me!

Also, since me sheet isn't pressing, can you change/approve/implement/deny the following items?

Quad Leg Movement: Self explanatory. Good for sneaking around without being heard and climbing into tricky spots
Spider-Mine Layer: Plants a camouflage explosive landmine at a target spot-can be programmed to explode at an time interval, against a specific target, orbit it's user defensively, or to lie in wait until detecting targets-whatever a very simple machine can be ordered to do. It's capable of leaping out and following a target for some distance, but it's low charge mean it will quickly run out of power to pursue.
Canister Rifle: A powerful, long range sniper rifle that fires very slowly, but is good at piercing armor and destroying robot components. Difficult to hit smaller, faster enemies and weak against shielding.

Spoiler: Sample Sheet, not Done yet (click to show/hide)

Name: Arachne (Infiltrator Model 11-DBRD a.k.a Nightweaver)
Health: 10/10
Energy:20/20
Abilities:
1. Stealthtech Design/Terrain based shifting of armor camouflage makes the Nightweaver very difficult to spot in hiding, though not truly invisible. Comes with a variety of devices to even fool machine based spotters, such as heat dampers and signal scramblers. This unit does less damage when being engaged directly, and more when attacking from ambush.
2. Silksteel Projection/Internal mechanics allow the Nightweaver model to produce batched of super strong Silksteel cord from it's abdomen. It fires in two modes-utility use, and offensive adhesive. It takes some time and energy to regenerate a full spool once the current is depleted.

Robot description: The Nightweaver is a spiderlike combat machine designed for infilitration and ambush-it's one of the most common to be deployed on the front line, but this model is fairly outdated, if cheap and widely utilized. Nightweavers are highly effective, copying the tactics of the spiders the emulate-but tend to be shortlived and hyper aggressive-they like to fight.

This particular one was recently repaired after suffering heavy damage in an orbital bombarment. 'Arachne' is a veteren killer of many wars-often fighting on both sides as the tides of battle change.

Parts
Special core:  (Stealthy) 150
Simple ion power generator (+5 power/turn): 50
Legs:   Quad Legs
Weapon 1: NC-02 HV Canister Rifle
Weapon 2: Type 4 'Bai'dao' Spidermine Layer

[10ebbor10]

Quad legs:: -1 to movement, +1 to acrobatics, +1 to difficult terrain navigation : 50
Spider mine layer: 2 damage, +2 to attack : 100
                 - Spider mine 5 each
Canister Rifle: 5 damage, 2 turn reload: 75

Don't worry about going a bit over the point limit. You'll get extra points since you'll be entering the game later.

Others seem fine.

GreatWyrmGold, what do you mean with your special ability? I can't just give you 5 interchangeable +1 bonusses.

I actually need to find the chips first--I can't get gourmet cooking unless I find a computer with a bunch of recipes and putting all of them into a chip or something. I was a bit fuzzy on what that was supposed to mean; is there a similar idea you think would be more balanced?

So effectively easier upgrades and/or upgrades for skills that you could not ordinarily get?

Wait listing unless you wanna throw me and Dwarmin straight in

Name: Tesla
Health: 10/10
Energy:/30

abilities:
Reverse Induction: Drains power from incoming energy based attacks or through direct contact with power sources. energy bar can overfill, if overfill exceeds 25% capacity it must be purged through the use of arc blast or Tesla will overload taking 1 damage for every 2 points of excess energy stored.
Arc Blast: purges energy to damage and incapacitate nearby equipment and personnel in a several foot radius around the droid dealing more damage the more power is purged. will be targeted or uncontrollable AoE at GM's discretion.

Robot description: The tesla is a specialized droid specifically designed for infiltrating and disabling the enemies power generation facilities, it achieves this result by using its advanced reverse induction core to drain massive amounts of power from the facilities main generator and then immediately discharging it causing a massive electronic disturbance destroying any unshielded electronics and killing any personnel in the immediate area, this event is usually triggered by a timer set to coincide with an attack by outside forces but can be triggered at will by the droid in case of emergencies.

reverse induction core (special) 
Medium generator (+10power/turn)
Quad legs (-1 to movement, +1 to acrobatics,+1 to difficult terrain navigation)
Battery (+10 powercap)
laser blaster (-5 power,2 damage, ranged weapon)
any bonus points from starting late will go into getting more batteries and/or armor, prioritizing armor.

The energy absorption from the induction core is only meant to be 100% effective against electricity, laser weapons and such will still do reduced damage to prevent it from becoming imbalanced.

send me a pm when my turn comes up

Pretty much just with skills and anything else that comes in program form, but yeah.

You don't know where the others came from. But you're all in the same situation, about to be shot towards the enemy capital ship. The ship you're fighting is unmanned, and actually nothing more than some hull with an engine strapped on. There isn't even an inside, you're just supposed to survive the cold dark void of space. Anyway, it appears the ship is in position know, and the wreck you're flying on is launched for the docking bay.From the outside you can clearly see the battle going on. The Valiant, which you have just been launched on, has sustained severe damage, and a bit further The Indestructible isn't quite living up to it's name.

Your ship zooms past the wreckage of one of the Imperial ships, and then continues towards their capital ship. You break through the fighter blockade by sheer force, just ramming one of them aside. The Point defenses start tracking you, and you manage to evade the first shot, and the second, but not the third, nor the fourth. The ship breaks apart, and you crash into the hull. When your cameras reboot, you find that only 6 of you survived.
More to the point, you're currently on the hull of the ship, and the PD turrets are aiming already. Meanwhile, 3 antiboarding droids emerge from a nearby airlock.

Robot description: S.A.M was built when Ford came out with their Pegasus car, the one that uses high tech generators to levitate. He was made to take care of the more difficult repairs that came with owning such a high tech car. Once people got enough training in the matter, he became obsolete, and sat in the office, deactivated, to be used as a coffee table. He was found there, and got reactivated, spruced up, and sent off to fight.

Once I wondered what would happen if I tried to make a minimalist RTD. Decided against it because it would probably get to complex.
