Alright! This looks good! We all ready to continue?

[Twinwolf]

I am.

[~Neri]

Would like to have a list of weapons to see if we have enough to arm a third drone.

[heydude6]

I'm ready

[vkiNm]

Including the NPCs in your Squad, and focusing on guns only, you should have..

6 5.56x45mm SMG
4 10mm PDW
2 Duster 9x19mm
1 Mag assault rifle 7.62x51
1 Gauss Rifle
1(?) Rocket Launcher,
1 73x33mm Carbine
1 Stormtrooper Light machine rifle 5.56x45mm
1 .50cal Anti-Material semi-automatic sniper rifle [21st century]
1 Fully automatic shotgun [21st century]

Might have missed something in the pistol section but I'm not sure.

[~Neri]

Missing Gauss Pistol.

Yes, one rocket launcher.

Also how does the Phal Anti Ballistic system work?

Methinks we could prolly arm another drone also.

[vkiNm]

Works like a miniature ship-based CIAWs. Deals with projectiles in a very 'Murican way.

Incoming Missile? brrrrrt it.
Incoming arrows? brrrrrt it.
Incoming monstrous flyer? brrrrrt it.
Incoming Fireball? brrrrt it anyway, just in case.

As you can expect, it's unlikely to stop bullets but it's a good addition to the offensive and defensive capability to drones. Plus being able to shoot down rockets and tearing into flying swarm is probably going to come in handy one day or another.

Of course they don't shoot the famed 20mm like the real Ship-based CIAWs does, it'd be too heavy that way.

[~Neri]

I'd imagine they're be usable for active cover for squaddies also.

[heydude6]

I can think of very few situations where cover would be useful in a place like this. All of the enemies are melee.

[vkiNm]

Yes, having layers of metal in between you and whatever might try to hurt you is a good survival tactic. kind of like an armed, controllable mobile chest-high wall cover.

If all else fall, then there's always the brrrrrt solution.

[~Neri]

All our enemies are melee. So Far. There is always the possibility of ranged later. And the potential of enemy corps.

And by active cover, I was more thinking the Phal system could shoot at bullets that get shot at squaddies.

Also hum.. Am thinking of getting the Balista Taser for taking captives.

[vkiNm]

Go ahead, I think you can afford it. Hell, mount it on the drones even!

[~Neri]

We have 28 left. Did the calcs.

Drone can mount 2 pieces of equipment. Drone costs 20. Balista costs 20. Was thinking of giving it to Aria or one of our fireteam members cause we don't have additional mount slots for the drones.

On a different note. I realized that drones are capable of doing literally anything if you mount equipment for them according to the rules.

[vkiNm]

Quite right. And we can easily fluffs it as it being 'specialized drone' such as Combat Medic, etc etc and so on.

Pretty useful stuff, isn't it? Too bad it'll only be as good as 'Trained' individuals and not more unless some sort of an AI-Enhancing Artifact is found and reverse-engineered.

[~Neri]

A Trained Individual is still quite good.
