Again, I think it would be best for the HRB and AS to just have a +2 AUX requirement.
The council was thinking a +1 aux would be enough of a requirement for the robobody, to offset the fact that it now costs as much as a battlesuit/assaultsuit instead of being a bit cheaper. But if you want +2, that's fine by me.
15 tokens, in my humble opinion, are completely out of the blue and not nearly close. It's designed to be a smaller, cheaper and less sophisticated version of a battlesuit/assaultsuit (depending on the armor loadout). 14 tokens is the least way to go for it... but, maybe 13 or lower - and probably keep an eye out for the Protectorate suit, since it's roughly comparable in terms of armoring (in regards to battleplate, at least) and intended purpose.
It originally cost 18 tokens, so it also got a discount. And it does have extra features, such as a flight pack (not jump, but full flight) being standard. It's also better (or at least as well) armored as battlesuit plate/Milnoplate, and has quit decent mobility, and is powered on its own (protectorate suit needs exoskeleton or very high strength (genemod maybe) to be able to decently move with it). And there might be a version sans flight pack for 2 tokens less.
Head out to the Hangar.

You sure? I don't think it'll help that much against the Haebi, but I put you on the list regardless.
So, how about we just go with the Assaultsuit requiring +2 aux and costing fifteen tokens, identical to the BS. The HRB costs the same, with +1 aux as the council suggested, and gets a 2-token discount if bought without rockets, like we decided before. Yes, technically it has less material than an AS, but it's virtually identical to a mobility AS in function, so having the same price seems fair.
Ok for me. How much was the rocket pack if bought separately later on? 3 to 4 right? Also, how big was the assaultsuit? I remember 'a bit smaller than a battlesuit' but I don't remember it fitting through doors.
I don't see why PW would object to any of this. The AS has always been designed to cost the same as a BS, and the HRB stats were decided by the council. Would this mean the Assaultsuit can be prototyped this mission?
I'd still need that feature list though (same as for the heavy robobody). Sorry for being an ass about it, but we really can't drop with it if pw doesn't know what the stuff we have does. Maybe just link to a Hep post where it was summarized, so we can just copypaste to wiki? Then you can nicely format it later.
Next to that, you'll need to find a tester. I'm still trying to get us going ASAP so other people can play again.
Also, when the AS becomes standard, can we swap every player-owned BS with an AS? I think it would be easier for PW, and would be nicer to people like Toaster- and anyone else who buys a BS before they get phased out.
You'll have to ask that to their players, but maybe toaster can test it this mission, and it becomes a standard armory item after this? As for Gilgamesh, I'd rather buy him back myself if Paris decides he'd like the upgrade, than let the suit disappear from the game. What about it Paris?
Also, I just got paid seven tokens. Technically, I also own five of the tokens in the team fund, although that depends on how willing RC is to let me take back a donation. I'd be willing to loan you tokens to help you buy an HRB immediately after this mission.
I dunno if I wanna let people use the fund as a personal bank account. It shouldn't exactly hurt our finances, but it might make things slightly more complicated down the line. Hmm. Ask me again after the mission, once you actually might need them and I have a better view on how finances are, ok?
Here's our remodeled living area plans.
What parts of these are avatar sized? If none, maybe switch the briefing room and pantheon and enlarge that, so Miya can then at least give his briefings in the same room as the people getting them? Finally, can i use the testing room?
