I don't have a whole lot of time right now to write up a full post, but I'd like to point out that I very much agree with Radio.  At the rate stuff on Hephaestus is going, we won't really have much of anything to show within the next month.  I mean, we haven't even decided on what stuff we're gonna be building, let alone actually design it or start producing it.  This is in large part why I was rushing design of the Testament. Not the PSAR.  Trust me, I spent like two hours trying to come up with a decent acronym, and couldn't find anything I liked.  Which does not include something that sounds like 'pisser'

I mean, seriously, every tinkerer on Heph has a different idea for the new line of suits, and I don't think any of us really understand the other's ideas much at all.  I think Sean wants a multi-purpose, multi role adjustable suit thing, and Pyro wants... MKII vacuum resistance in MKIs?  We certainly haven't discussed our ideas with each other much. >.>

As soon as my new computer is set up and ready to go (so that I can actually do a proper wall-of-text post), I'm going to start administrating more, for sure. Been planning on doing so for a little while now, actually. Hopefully, there will be focus, and a lot of it. I'm kinda regretting not taking a stronger hand first, but it is in-character not to have - Simus has only ever headed small teams that had their goals laid out for them, but less so methodology.

I, for one, am extremely pleased to hear that. Because believe me, we're gonna need every edge we can get our hands on.

Let's hope we'll have stuff like this soon enough:

My and Pyro's ideas on an entry-level suit are somewhat cross-compatible. The basic idea is a "Mk1+" plugsuit with improved survivability and less bulk. The MACS is that plus exoskeleton, and armor and mission packs purchased together as upgrades of the same system - the plugsuit can probably be made separate from the MACS system as a whole, so that it retains compatibility with other exosystems.

Overall, we seem to have some sort of initial direction, at least in principle - supplying ARM and the Sword frontliners with improved basic gear, so as to make rookies step into the fight quicker, and to make baseline sods a more credible threat.

This is on top of sorting out the mess left by the defense of Hephaestus, which we're only warming up to beginning to do.

I have a feeling Faith may have planted a bomb of sorts. And given the nature of the enemies Mission 14 has faced so far, I would be VERY careful.

Of course, that comes with the obvious caveat that we don't have the best idea of how the basement works. So who knows. Or maybe it's not a bomb and PW is just up to something.

Yeah, I had considered this as well, which is why Miya is seriously considering just pulling out now. Thing is though, she didn't have one on her, so it'd be one that's there already (entirely possible they planted one in advance as a precaution though).

Then again, they might not need a physical bomb- Faith could just provide eyes for an amp user.

On the topic of supply shipments, I for one welcome our new PSL-style weaponry overlords.

We need to have a standard-issue laser rifle called the Lightweight Energy Gun (LEG).
Or Lethal Emission Grenades? Something that spells LEG, anyway.

One question to the Hephaestus people: Why aren't you producing anything? It's not like it would cost you anything.

I would like a green rubber ducky and a can-opener, pwease.
Also maybe a natty suit, or at least an overcoat that I can wear over my M1 that is somehow cooler and more badass-looking than your average Civic Defender's Longcoat. I can't just follow the trends, after all! :P

Next time we'll follow the approach of Missions 14 and 15, and require a backup team and an orbital strike!




And I'm not in charge of Heph, but maybe you should delegate?  One person commands the ground forces, one person is in charge of facility management/expansion, one in charge of research.

You should one-up both of them by having the backup team arrive on/as an orbital strike!
