Spoiler: My hero (click to show/hide)

Pilot:
Name: Osrios LaMerech
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: A handsome, if imperious looking young man with carefully managed, shoulder length, coal black hair and eyes as grey as mist. He's tall, but thin as a beanpole. He has darkly tanned skin, and fairly good musculature.He often wears expensive and tasteful clothes, even in his mech-however, he's never seen riding without a signature leather jacket, beaten and torn, referring a Southern Terralban Gearball team called the 'Sharkteeth', of which he has never been a player, or in truth much of a fan. There's been much homefront speculation as to why he wears this.
Background: The LaMerech family is one of the most powerful and wealthiest in Terralba-even more so in recent years, in great part due to their arms factories and mecha-bays which have been churning night and day to produce the arms and armament to keep the war machine going.

Osrios is the youngest son of his family line-out of the direct line of inheritence-and, while the LaMerech line doesn't exactly have a legacy of producing warriors, he's grown bored and unhappy of a life spent in little more than the pursuit of his own pleasures and amusements-of which, he is somewhat infamous in pursuing, if you pay credit to rumor-sheets anyway...having signed up for the military (he was credited for a definite boost in manpower recruitment among young Terralban men), he defied expectations by demanding a combat-job, rather than a desk job or even a front-line command posting. His family connections ensured him a seat in a mech, though he often points out his academy scores in handling and combat tactics were well above average on their own, more than enough to qualify him for his pick of postings. Though he was noted to have barely passed in gunnery scores, due to his lack of nerve when firing on live targets.

In any case, he has spent at six months in the mud and blood of Edon, learning his own tough lessons.

His recent assignment to the 12th, however, was at least partly political in nature-giving the entire recovery operation an air of 'grandeur' and 'excitement' that they hope should translate back to the homefront-with the rebel son of a powerful, noble family unearthing war winning technological secrets.

A moving picture script has already been green-lit.

A'ight. Made my character and linked them with my old one from 25th Mech Squad, if that's okay.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I've changed a tiny bit of the combat mechanics. I split turns into two phases. Movement and action. When one side has a movement phase, the other has an action page. Actions are resolved before movement. Like Tom Clancy's Endwar. That's all, the base stats are the same.

So it goes: Player Movement -> Enemy Action -> Player Action -> Enemy Movement? Or what?

[somokus]

Hey is there any type of Mech that specializes in sniper fire? Or do I have to do the Artillery Mech?

[USEC_OFFICER]

Yes. The artillery mech specializes in sniper fire. :v

[Dwarmin]

Finished up my sheet, added some little things.

[Sosoku234]

Is it acceptable to have two of the same weapons if the slots allow?

[Dwarmin]

If the arm weapons are stronger than the front weapons, then the D mechs are just straight out superior to the A mechs. Is there any reason to take the A-mechs over the D-mechs? As is, it kind of seems like there really is nothing that the A-Mech can do better than the D.

Let's see if I can remember lessons from the past.

I recall it's balanced if you take ‘Scythe’ Kinetic Missile-it's increased range, being quite significant, is really the only reason you'd want to take the D over the A. 

The Fixed heavy gun at least does the most single strike damage at more than decent acc, though it's range is extremely restricting. It'll be more useful if you're expecting a mech-knife-fight.

The dual spear battery is the only obvious loser-it could use a slight buff, since it's only equal to the mace-but, since the D loses armor and evasion, it's not a good trade off.

[USEC_OFFICER]

-snip-

Honestly? After crunching the numbers, the Dual Spear Batteries were some of the best weapons in the game. So long as you landed both of the shots that is. They did good damage regardless of how well armoured the enemy was. Everything else was more or less true, which is why I've buffed up the Front Weapons so much. And nerfed the Repeater, because goddamn was it a good gun.

[Dwarmin]

Alright, I was just assuming 50/50 odds on most shots

If you built a lot of accuracy into your pilot, then it would be likely be a strong pick.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

So I should go change Joachim to use a Ishim-A instead so I can go spam Dual Spear Batteries.

[Twinwolf]

but I was going to use the A once things got buffed

[Dwarmin]

but I was going to use the A once things got buffed

They are pretty balanced, tho, there's no need for any juryrigging.

[Twinwolf]

Once the buffs to Front weapons happened, I meant.

[Haskel]

Oh, this looks awesome. I'd be interested in joining.
