Report

Suddenly, the training facility stops. The walls turn green again, and materialize. Everybody inside finds themselves back, where the others are.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. I have some news." The general says, walking around the newly formed line of everyone.

"We have been notified that a nearby Iridium mine is going to be raided by the Xerxian military, tomorrow. We must do everything in our power to put a stop to this. Get ready!" He yells out, motioning for dismissal.

Kinson snapped a quick salute.
"Yes, Sir."
She logged out, rose, and quickly left.

[PrivateNomad]

Sorry I took so long, I forgot about this thread. I'll try to update it regularly now.

[Patrick Hunt]

Request that high altitude recon drones with thermal cameras be tasked over the mines and have the teams huds linked in, request AP ammunition for my rifle and request stealth camo for my clothing if possible.

(( UAV is basically stealth coated drone that sits way high up with cameras on a specific area feeding back to my hud so I can see whats going on from above. ))

[Rolepgeek]

You have training in drone control?

You want FOUR of them?

You don't want your allies to see it?

[Elfeater]

Harvey requests for a heavy caliber sentry gun to be added to his arsenal.

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Autotated drones with a pre programmed mission so I don't need to control them I just press the on button, four allows for total coverage in all directions at once which when your defending a fixed position is essential because the enemy will try to flank and 7 of us are going to be hard pressed as it is and the encryption is more aimed at our enemy. If the system can only be accessed by me allowing other huds to connect it makes it more difficult and unlikely our enemy will hack the drones or try some other means of altering them.

Drones get hacked for real now so I'm sure they can be in the future, might as well take a few precautions to make it less likely. At the very least this way I'll know the moment somebody else accesses it because I'll know exactly how many people I gave access to.))

[Elfeater]

We are likely being sent into attack enemies raiding it already. As it is a mining facility, it will also be urbanized. This is a very important facility, so they'll likely send reinforcements with us.

[TCM]

"Yay! Party time!"

Vetra exits the simulation and makes sure her stuff is prepared for the mission.

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Then the drones thermal cameras will enable us to avoid ambushes and if I get my AP ammo, for me to shoot through walls. My little glasses can't go through walls but a bigger version on a drone can as long as it's not to thick or under ground.

It's useful for offense or defense anyway. ))

[GiglameshDespair]

Patrick: you might as well request a tactical nuclear missile. Notice the woman dedicated to drones only has three of them.

You are basically asking to make her useless, and yourself brokenly powerful. Before the first proper mission. So, really, I would hope no. I don't see why you'd be allowed to requisition new stuff after a training mission anyway.

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Uhm it's not for me it's for everybody. If we're going into an environment with broken sight lines I want to be able to see whats around the corner without sticking my head in my enemies line of fire to do it and our drones have no recon capability.

Anyway how is it brokenly powerful? It's a camera with wings, it offers 0 offensive capability of any kind all it can do is sit up high and provide real time imaging of the battlefield for us so that rather then walking in blind we can go in with at least some idea of what we're walking into, I'd think you'd agree we need it, more then likely I won't even be near the main fighting because that renders my primary weapon useless, with any luck at all I'll be safely concealed in high ground half a mile from the battlefield well outside the combat area.

Our drone expert has got advanced predator drones, good for combat support but not designed for recon roles, I'm requesting a group of advanced UAV be tasked to the battlefield for us, they link it to me I link it to the rest of you then I feed you relevant information as we go. Since your all close range it's safer for me to monitor the drones in any case. The whole point of these drones is that we have no recon drones and no scouts so we need something to cover that role.

Recon drone. I'm not exactly going to be able to carry something thats the size of a car, let alone 4. ))

[GiglameshDespair]

Lets see. If they gave you all that stuff you would be:
-invisible: basically unspottable and so unable to be attacked
-AP ammo can shoot through walls: doesn't matter where enemies are, you can kill them
-drones: you can see where all enemies are at all times, so you will never be snuck up upon and no enemy can hide from your armour piercing wepons

There are almost no situations in which you not be capable of killing any and all opponents without even struggling to do so, rendering the rest of the team useless. Infantry? Can't take cover because AP ammo. Vehicles? AP and explosive ammo. They can't shoot back because guess what? Invisible!

Even if you did somehow get forced into close combat you'd still be fucking invisible and knowing where all enemies are at once, so you could pick them off with your silenced SMG. There would be no situation you could not deal with by yourself easily. Don't give me anything about being specialised, either. "As powerful as God Almighty" is not a specialisation.

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Invisible which if I get at all and since it was denied once I doubt I will anyway, but thats going to have a massive power drain even if I'm stationary and an even bigger one if I'm moving and given I'm using light armor that means any power source I have is going to be small. So it won't last very long at all, I'd expect a life of maybe 5 minutes at max then an enormous recharge time, and it doesn't stop them being able to find me.
Snipers do not need to be seen or heard to be located all you need to do is see where the bullet hit a person and you can predict the snipers location, given that they are attacking a large facility I expect the enemy has armored vehicle or artillery so they can easily kill me still just by targetting whatever building I'm in and crushing me or any number of other options for finding and killing me. A suppressor also only reduces muzzle flash and the sound of gunshots it does not prevent them entirely.

Ap ammo can go through walls assuming the wall is not very thick or made of avery dense materials and thats before factoring in whatever else might be between me and the target in a room and that persons body armor, being able to shoot through the wall does not mean I'll actually be able to kill them especially given how advanced things have become. Hell the enemy could even have prototype shields or armor that blocks bodyheat. The drone is a potential way of detecting enemies I have no idea how effective it will be and I suspect they have camo armor as well which I'm sure blocks thermal or it'd be easy to counter.

Drones, an over head drone gives no indication at all of elevation, I can see a person is standing in a spot, I can't see if he's on the 1st floor or the 101st floor, all it gives me is a rough location then I have to be able to spot the person on my own which in a tangled urban enviornment is doubtful because of the obstructed sight lines so unless the enemy is on a building on the very edge of the town it's unlikely I'm going to be able to get a clear line of fire on them even if I know where they are, the drone will make my initial job easier which assuming we're countering attacking just means I can clear enemy sentries so you lot can get in without being seen but the moment combat moves into the town it becomes almost entirely used to help the rest of you avoid enemy ambushes or to set up your own until I can run half a mile or more to find a new location to cover you.


But seriously can you all please stop having a go at me every freaking time I request something, it's up to the GM if I get it or if I don't get it not you and starting an argument because you don't like what I request is just going to annoy the GM. He will decide what is ok and what is not ok, if he decides I can have it great I can help the rest of you avoid ambushes and cover you more easily, if he decides I can't thats a shame I can cover you initially then I can do nothing to help you for 5+ minutes while I move into town then find a new position to cover you from.
Either way the choice is his not yours. ))
