Err... Am I reading things right here?

Gain +2 to hit, eva, crit and dg per level of support.

For each level of support you have with someone, you gain a paltry +2 to hit, evasion, critical and dodge? That's extremely low you know. Normally it's... What, +5 for hit/evasion and half that for criticals and dodge? Something like that? What I'm trying to ask here is whether it was an intentional design choice to make supports give such a small bonus or something else.

[Toaster]

I'm guessing since the FEF affinity system would be out of place here, he just went with a straightforward bonus that's easier to remember (and doesn't require mathing it out.)  The bonuses might be a bit lower, but they're also more widespread than the other system.  It's just different.

Spoiler: The example from the FEF book (click to show/hide)

The bonus from your supports is based on the combined values of the bonuses you give, rounded down.
For instance, if a character with a Thunder affinity and a Fire affinity supported each other...
Damage | Defence | Hit | Evasion | Critical | Dodge
(0.5+0)=.5 | (0+0.5)=.5 | (2.5+0)=2.5 | (0+2.5)=2.5 | (5+0)=5 | (0+5)=5
In this case, both characters would receive: +0 Damage, +0 Defence, +2 Hit, +2 Evasion, +5 Critical,
and +5 Dodge (used to reduce opposing Critical Hits)

Okay, looking again, it is a bit lower, but it's not THAT much lower, but they also peak higher because the S rank gives the same bonus instead of a character skill.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Oh... Never mind then, I got the bonuses for evasion/hit and critical/dodge mixed around. Or basing them off of some other version of FE or something. Never mind, that's fine.

+2? That's kind of a strange number to pick. (but yeah it is pretty low)

[Devastator]

You're all wusses, anyway.  330% growths?  ;p

[Toaster]

+2? That's kind of a strange number to pick. (but yeah it is pretty low)

Per level of support, yeah.  Most crit/dodge numbers are themselves low anyway, so it's more noticeable for them.  And I'd take any extra boost to hit I can get.  For reference, my base hit chance is 93%, so a 2% boost would cut my rate of failure a lot.  Also, my crit is 3, so +2 would nearly double it... and that's before enemy dodge.  Speaking of dodge, +2 would double mine.


Is Suppression an actual attack or is it simply a debuff to the opponent?

[GiglameshDespair]

Debuff. Does not cause reaction fire.

[Powder Miner]

That's just because you're still real low level and have low crit; later on when you actually HAVE supports, 2 will be meaningless, even to crit and dodge.

[Toaster]

By that same logic, later on it might be 6 or 8 points from the support.

[Powder Miner]

Which still isn't very much.
For comparison, my A support in FEF1 gave me 30 crit.

[IronyOwl]

Assuming enemy crits and dodges are scaling as well, it should still somewhat even out. Especially since most FEF1 characters were fucking horrifying later on, and so probably aren't fair comparison points.

Though really, the stat comparison itself is kind of wonky to make because different stats work out to different real stats in different situations, and benefit differently from small increases at higher/lower levels.

Bio: An ex-patriot from Hungary, and former member of the Corps of Homeland Defenders, or more known as the Hungarian Armed Forces. Was dishonorably discharged on minor counts of smuggling, and went to use what he learned from the military in the only way he knew how: in mercenary work after that.

Was picked up by the XCEF program during a particularly hard slump that had him desparate for any sort of stable work.

Application.

Edited: Added in a frag

[Parsely]

Took a shot at the heavy ammo and small ammo. Added magic green liquid to syringes and experimented with a different syringe design at the bottom.

I need to have another go, they don't look very good at such high res.

No manufacturing happens while people are on missions, so it's a time to choose. People not on mission, feel free to RP among yourselves or annoy the staff.

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=145869.0 In mission thread. Go get 'em, lads.

Now. Tired. Must sleep.

I just realized I didn't finish a mug for this.
GRAHH.
Editing in later.

Also I like how you made those graphics and sprites. They're blockishly cute.
