That's what I was thinking. For some reason I always thought of the two as the exactly same thing. Then again, seeing as the weapon I designed has ammo usable as shaped charges, it probably isn't too surprising

Oh also, does the Advanced Armor Package count towards the augmentation limit seeing as it's just armor and doesn't really add anything the user has to run?

[Radio Controlled]

I proposed that exact thing some time ago in irc, but it wasn't warmly welcomed it seems. Maybe because it'd need some extra balancing, or because there's too much change for the moment already to do that now. Maybe bring it up again as the mission are underway and system change is over with?

[Empiricist]

Fair enough. There certainly are balance issues with it I suppose.

And indeed, things really have changed these days; never thought my overspecialized joke of a character would have turned into what he's becoming for starters.

[Harry Baldman]

Yeah, probably best to let that idea wait. Otherwise piecewise might start melting or something.

How many players does ER have right now, anyway? Active ones, I mean? Is it 30 yet?

Hm, there's 10 on both planetside teams, as I understand it, plus 5 on the black ops, then there's 5 or so in Hephaestus, and then there's more who're not in any of those categories? Probably not more than 40 total, right?

[Radio Controlled]

There's 22 for ground mission, 6 for blops, 5 for Hep. So yes, probably about 40 total. And quite a few braindeads.

On "refill permits":
Well, we could rework it in the organisational changes that might or might not finally happen some day in the future.
Hell, I am already working hard on providing medical refills.

Step 1: see post that you think you'll find annoying.
Step 2: ignore the shit out of it
Step 3: ??

lol. Yeah, I think I might actually add him to ym ignore list, and only suffer through whenever PW quoted him

I'm pretty sure MCP suits are supposed to be the only suits we're provided with, now.  Nobody should have MK.Is anymore, because they are completely inferior.

Er, what is an MCP suit? I still have an MKI.

@Parisbre56: AL template seems to be far too expensive to handle all of links in Armory. In fact it is so heavy, that wikia stops parsing it at http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/Armory#Enhanced_Smell. It still generates anchor links, but #ifexist defaults to false for remaining items.

It's a suit developed on Hephaestus to replace our ancient Mk series suits. MCP doesn't even have wiki page, so nobody got one, I think.

[Harry Baldman]

Er, what is an MCP suit? I still have an MKI.

It's still a MKI. And also a couple of gadgets, if I recall correctly, including shock gloves? Nobody aside from who designed it (and Hephaestus accounting people) seems to have been keeping track of what it is, and I think I've asked what it is twice and gotten entirely satisfactory answers, but for the life of me I still can't remember exactly what the differences were.

It would be much easier to know what it is if it had a wiki entry, of course. Otherwise it's just a couple Heph people occasionally going "MCP!" and not really much more than that.

Spoiler: Ah, here's a quote (click to show/hide)

The MCP suits never got a writeup. Honestly, I'm not even sure of their specs at the moment.

But they're not armor. They're more Mk1+. Far less bulky, better heat exchanger, some of the survivability devices from the Mk2. Just a more streamlined and user-friendly Mk1, really. Where a regular Mk1 is somewhat like a current spacesuit - roomy, slightly bulky - the MCP suit I think is more like this:

Don't know where to look for its specs, though. But yeah, a MKI that's skintight, yet less hot. And with more gadgets. Not exactly a mechanically significant change as far as I'm aware.

[Parisbre56]

Well there's your problem:

<!-- Saved in parser cache with key einsteinianroulette:pcache:idhash:2077-0!*!0!!en!*!* -->That's from the page source.
The PP simply stops processing things after the processing limit of the page is reached. It's not just one template, it's all templates. You can see that if you look at the page source. I'll see if I can cut the number down somehow when I get back to my PC. But if people are not finding it useful, we can just not use it.

@HB: The MCP is just an excuse to get us to wear skintight suits.

40 is a ton of players for a RTD 

I'm planning to reorganize the character index after we get this mission started to make it easier to find active players / characters. My plan is to reorganize it by active mission(s), then on-ship, then heph, then no-mission (rookies), then 'frozen', then dead. I'm also hoping to make it easier for us to work with in the process, since it has a few instances of wiki-code that make it somewhat difficult to work with right now.

Again, I am not doing that until the missions have started. I'm not going to try and reorganize while you guys are sorting through the list to find people for missions.

((There are on-ship active characters like Lyra))
