Automanips are preprogrammed to perform a single *manipulator style* action at a fixed position relative to the automanip. the only input they accept is a "do it" signal. they do not require a roll to activate, do not go haywire, but you can miss with them if you don't aim them properly.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Hm. Do they have limited batteries or something like that? Do they rely on nearby people or something? How flexible of settings can the black boxes be set to?

[Lenglon]

limited batteries, and you can make them do anything a non-overloaded manip can do, but only that one thing. it cannot be adjusted. they do not rely on nearby people.

[Empiricist]

Most of your job in there is observation, alright? You need not participate, but I wouldn't mind if you did.

I think I know what I want my device to do, but exact specs rely on one question:

How big is it? Would I be making it into a bullet or a mortar shell?

I wish to try and make a gauss shotgun.

I think the principles would be pretty easy, and also layered with magnet magic which I as a player don't know about, so I'm keeping it simple.

Same game different rules...
enter session with simus and others move slightly away from the group spawn two battle suits facing each other one normally assembled and one shown mechanically exploded

Spoiler: design (click to show/hide)

Have a small backpack mounted generator and capacitor bank (similar to the Gauss rifle's) then connect it to a set of laser rifle optics ruggedised to deal with higher power output and more powerful pump along with multiple gain media in series each pumped by the laser previous. Second the whole system is fitted in a chassis made of reinforced plastics and is shoulder mounted and has a scope contained in it that functions the same way as cam-eyes. Finally allow the pump & gain setup to be removed easily.

If I understand gauss, you just need a bunch of steel ball bearings contained in a proper shell.
So you probably need a lot more than that.

So anyone have any ideas for our Titan?

What armaments do you guys suggest?
Armor? Other Stuff? Pure Cosmetic stuffs?

OPTIONS MAYN! SOOOOO MANY OPTIONS.

Also I want to name it Wykydtron after the completely badass 3IOB song about giant robots that pretty much conquer the universe

Maybe if I treated it right, I could just make shotgun ammunition for the standard gauss rifle. Which would be cool.
Then I guess if I also made sabot ammunition, then I'd have a long range equivalent too.

There is already shotgun ammo available for the gauss rifle. It's called blackshot.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Hey, how big is an automanip? Such information is important for my planned Battlesuit-killer!
You don't need to be piecewise to answer, you know...

And thereby my tinker project is already completed.
Man I'm good at this.

Recomendations for titan:

1. Big ass particle cannon

2. More armour then you can poke a stick at

3. Bar

[BFEL]

We REALLY need to do some science on Grate.
I mean think about it, if we could give his quantum immortality to OUR TITAN....

*News at 11*
The UWM fleet was spotted running away screaming today when a enemy titan repeatedly came back from utter destruction.
Top Military officials could not be reached for comment, as they were "busy hiding in their bunkers shitting themselves unconscious"
