Yeah, he was trying to do it again since he saw the first one was a bit ... small. If you want to veto it, go ahead.
[Will:2+2]
You get it...mostly right.
Grab gear and head for the appropriate pod.
Wonder why Idiots in Space isn't linked in the OP, that seems like a useful little thing.
It's linked in the main threads, isn't it?
Dubley looks a Xan
How exactly is that dragon supposed to fit in the boarding pod?
Strap in, and disable the biosensors for Xan.
Biosensors off.
Lars, as he walked toward the boarding area, heard Dubley. "Glorious Steve can perform many miracles."
Inscribe the White Circle of Algis on the front of all the pods (both stasis-type and the actual pods themselves. Get self/team strapped in.
You inscribe the holy symbols on the pods and the shells (when you actually get there)
Missed me:
Team D Fleshtech, Steve Saint
Dynamic AUX bonus:+/- 1
How exactly will this program work? Like what will it do, mechanically? Both in terms of gameplay mechanics and in world mechanics.
Response:I actually meant to leave that to you. But my original idea is basically taking a library of automated exoskeleton movements, and having the computer execute them based on a series of commands from the user. So, the person says "punch" and the computer makes the exoskeleton do a generic punch. It'd be more complex than that, considering I can make commands at the speed of though thanks to the robobody, but it's the basic idea.
In game effect would be using AUX instead of dex/str for melee combat, at the cost of having any semblance of defense. But I can understand that that's OP, so an AUX roll to give a bonus to melee combat might be better. Your choice.
TL:DR, it's like playing a mix between street fighter and toribash with your body. Except even more complex.
Action:Go get a tablet from the AM. Then use AUX bonus to finish the melee combat program thing. Then go get into Team D's boarding pod.
((Woo! I got picked for the team that has Milno and Renen. Either of them could probably solo a ship!))
Also, make sure I'm wearing an MKI. Despite the fact it's useless to me. I'm hoping they shoot for depressurization/headshots.
Yeah, unless you specifically say you don't want to, I assume you're always wearing a suit.
8-10 token.
Gonna assume that'll drop to 8 once all those nades are used up.
So, that's 8+10 tokens. 18 for handin' out to people. Auron probably gets a few more for his generous contribution, but aside that, I think just giving one or two tokens to the very new people (with 0 or 1 missions, not counting this one or the boarding) will be the best we can manage.
Talkies to Steve.
>Auron took rocket pods and melee equipment off a dead sod invader.
"Hmm. Good to know.
Say, Steve, tell me: what do you think they'll be facing up there? I mean, they probably lost a good chunk of their forces already throwing it in the grinder like they did, but still, four man squads feels awfully small. And I hate I won't be there to help, I can only watch and wait.
Doesn't that bug you sometimes? Not getting to just go out there and do it yourself, but having to trust a bunch of former criminals with the fate of the rebellion?"
It would seem you forgot to run my action, good sir! If it would please you to perhaps run it this time, verily, I would be most grateful.
>Multiple shells will be fired at each ship, so it won't be 4 men per ship. As per defenses, assume sods and normal crew. And not really, You get used to it.
Make sure my combi-weapon is fully loaded (draw from the pile/recharge as needed) and that I have my gear, and strap in. Lock n' Load, it's time to go.
"Lock and load. We're launching, team Audax."
You're locked and loaded and etc. Everything is good.
TEAM G
boarding pod time so I don't get nyarsed
BOARDING BOARDING BOARDING
Make sure my combi-weapon is fully loaded (draw from the pile/recharge as needed) and that I have my gear, and strap in. Lock n' Load, it's time to go.
"Lock and load. We're launching, team Audax."
By your will Squad commander,
Born for battle, forged in war,
We win or we die, the mission will succeed
Ensure all ammo is replenished, that I have everything (Laser rifle, 1 battery, towel, mark 1 suit), strap in and double check straps, ensure seat tray is returned to the upright position and brace for acceleration
Yep, ammo got, and you'll get strapped in well.
Boarding team "Kappa" (H), mission control - Anton Chernozorov
Have the sods load up into the first pod to be launched at the UWM ships. See if I can get a better look, through sensor feeds or telescopes or what do we have here, at the UWM fleet. What are we really up against here?
((And yes, the sods go first. If the first pod gets to either be the only one to make it or the first to get shot down, then if the first pod is manned, both scenarios end in "somebody dies". If it's sodded, then we have the possibility of, for once, sustaining no casualties on the approach to target. 
))
You're looking at 11 ships varying in size. We're shooting them at the biggest ones, which are battleships of a smaller size then the sword, but not by a whole lot. The majority of ships in that armada are basically just flying cannons designed to fight off invading space forces. Not very good against smaller targets.
