NO.  BATTLESUITS.


I'm guessing the Heavy Laser loses the rocket pods, since it seems like a fair tradeoff in value.  It loses mobility for firepower.


I don't think anyone looked at the Urban Combat variant yet.  Am I misremembering?

I must ask someone to NPC me for the time being.

Finals is killing me (and causing collateral damage to anyone I may probably somehow possibly interact with)

I kind of wanna run around piloting a dreadnaught, maybe if i get enough tokens from this mission ill buy a heavy battlesuit variant and swap some parts out for a flamethrower in the arm and a dual barrel energy cannon.

Ive never played the game but if you want a wallrunner battlesuit why not try swapping the claymore defense system for a powerful magnetic grappeling field and adding in some conveniently placed motorised wheels?
It would only work on objects made of or supported by metal, but hey its better than nothing right?
Or you could probably get an exosuit variant from nyars i guess, if your lucky.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

You have 2 tokens according to idiots in space, nowhere enough to pay for a battlesuit. Or is it wrong?

Hmm, I wonder how payment for this mission will be handled. Maybe we will get to didvide them ourselves again.

I did say "maybe if i get enough" it is entirely dependant on how much i get paid and how much loot i can recover before you guys melt it all out from under me.
i was so close to being able to attempt to disable the lifelocks on the melee battlesuit but irony unfortunately forgot to re-include the "if Auron succeeds" failsafe clause and vaporised the pilot before i had a chance to try.

Scout eye legs are a delicacy have some very interesting sticky properties that allow it to walk on and attach itself to almost any surface. You could modify those to make the wall running legs.

One of the ideas I had was saving up for a synthflesh body (after I get a decompensator of course) modified with extra strong leg muscles and sticky arms and legs so that if something was strong enough to damage the battlesuit or if I had to leave it for a while, then I could jump around like a pinball and walk on walls and ceilings to confuse the enemy.

Its a 1 in 18 chance of affecting everyone yes, but other severity rolls may still hit bunkers or single out individual teammates.
1. It has NEVER affected EVERYONE.
2. That goes directly against what piecewise said. He said it took a 1 followed by a 1 or a 2 to get any friendly fire. Don't just make stuff up because it suits your point.
I hate when people do that.
1. Fine let me rephrase that, everyone in the target area/affected bunker. Quit being a pedantic twat.
2. Ill admit that i may have been wrong on the singling out teammates part, but rolling a 1-3 would probably still hit the bunker with a glancing blow.
1. Alright, now I can complain about your tautology.
2. ...Even though piecewise said friendly fire only happened on 1-1 and 1-2?

And for the record no im not making shit up, if anything im merely misinterpreting posts i cannot find or remember the exact wording of. Something i might add that you do with my posts constantly despite the fact that you are always directly quoting them, which is fucking annoying.
Well, I'm sorry that you have a bad memory and that I don't have telepathy.

Such is life.
Look on the bright side: If you had succeeded, the battlesuit probably wouldn't have fit and would have definitely smelled of sod sweat.

There's no way I'm going to have the time to join the boarding parties, please take me off the team H list.

The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

Unholy, GWG, this argument is devolving into personal insults. Stop it.

PyroDesu's first character had something like that. Robot legs that let him walk on walls and even ceilings.

I agree with this sentiment.

And here I was wondering if anyone besides me even remembered that.

More like
rocket pods + MK2 + exoskeleton = MK3
MK3 + armor = battlesuit
battlesuit + sticky legs = titanthing

He did keep them, actually. Just not The Doctor's idea of them. How else do you think he was standing on the side of the dam when he did that?
