Sorry.

Endgame mech? How do you know what your endgame mech is going to look like if we've barely started the gamer

[The Ensorceler]

Planned role, required modifications to achieve said role, inevitable consequences of ill-advised design choices. Stuff like that. If most of the upgrades are salvage rather than bespoke requests, though, there isn't much telling how it would turn out.

EDIT: Tails. Somebody else gets the picture. Good luck!

[GiglameshDespair]

Something like this?

Spoiler: For the picture (click to show/hide)

Mydoki has fiery red hair, drawn into two unruly pigtails, and bright green eyes, she's approximately 5 foot tall. She'd be dressed a military cadet, in blue, i guess, with a greatcoat. She's short.

The mech is a heavy, bipedal humanoid, the head set into the chest 40k-titan style,  with heavy missile racks mounted in the shoulders. Stylised eyes are painted fuselage next to the cockpit, and a wicked grin sketched across the blunt snout of the mech. The paint of the mech is bright red, the decorations in black and white.

Yes, something exactly like that.

I'm sorry if this wasn't clear enough Dwarmin, but you can't split up your movement like that. You can move then shoot, but you can't attack then move afterwards which also prevents you from spliting up your movement like that. Sorry.

[GiglameshDespair]

So much OOC in the IC thread D:

Well, that really sucks. If some of my fellow pilots wasn't so interested in committing career suicide, I'd probably have nothing to do this round.

Edited my turn.

[GiglameshDespair]

Natural selection?

[Dwarmin]

Natural selection?

Pff, the GM needs to consider killing them off, sure.

Maybe roll a Dx die and off one person a mission who got 'slagged'? Enough you won't commit suicide and rely on your plot armor to protect you, but at least we won't run out of pilots...

[USEC_OFFICER]

Natural selection?

That would imply that people will get killed off it they do stupid things. Which probably won't happen, since the chance for death is very low for now. _{Though if you do die then it's probably your own damn fault.}

Nah, I'll just roll a d10 for each downed pilot and if they roll too low then they'll die. That way it's somewhat more fair, since one person isn't definitely going to get bumped off every mission. So most of the time people will survive, but then you still have the chance for multiple fatalities in a mission. Especially when I bump up the chance to die.

What are you yammering on about? This is a mech game, people taking absurd amounts of fire for their teammates is one of the most important jobs. And notably one that one of the heavy mechs aren't doing.

[GiglameshDespair]

That's because they haven't got into range yet. So that doesn't mean lighter mechs should decide to take over the job...

[kj1225]

Then it's a good thing I'm driving a heavy mech.
