. Plus, it's probably not even that heavy to begin with, so not too worried, since most weight comes from armour, I researched lightweight armour, and the design philosophy of the super-soldier from the beginning was light and fast.

In your case a lot of weight would be coming from the pair of bloody nuclear reactors you've got on there.

Doctor Ozarck here wants to invite everyone along for the Grand Tour of Reality. He pops up in everyone's personal room and gives you option to ascend beyond humanity, immortality via nanomahchines, super powers from god and membership in swarm soul communications network. The man is either very selfless or plans to integrate your individuality into the collective by force.

Yeah, no.

Anyway, then there's the equipment.

The Executive Producer has:

• Improved learning, coordination and reaction times II.
• Is integrated into a hive mind with about 11 EPAs and a copy of himself, possessing executive control over his elements.
• Each member of the EP collective has the WHW suite of implants, allowing teleportation of up to 2 cubic meters of volume (operates at the speed of light) at a time (WHW-T), advanced rangefinding (WHW-R), telepathic communication (WHW-B) and interrogative telepathy (WHW-ASE).
• All members of the EP are imprinted on Doc George, and have within them a killswitch installed earlier as an experimental safety measure (render it nonfunctional in the actual field of battle, however).
• Mundane equipment of the EP's choice.
• A 1 cm stone sphere that contains another EP's original mind and enhancements, and is in contact with the hive mind.

Pretty humble stuff, all in all.

Post-research work: copy the EP down one more time as a stonemind for future use, and disable the killswitch for actual field activity. They've earned it! Oh, and give my corporate overseers the memory wipe technology for test subject recycling purposes.

The teleportation will probably help to equalize things.

Ozclone disappears from these two before they can accost him. If they do, however, somehow manage to affect him, he'll dissolve their bodies and equipment, leaving them each in a brain in a jar - the original, before it was even made human sized - the big, clunky one that fills a room. He'll then place all their tech and a living copy of their bodies in their scientists' labs, to be reintegrated with their brains when testing starts.

Spoiler: GM Note (click to show/hide)

In regards to passing off a squad as one soldier thing. Just thought of how I'd do that.

At some point there would likely be a sort of meeting where the Company rep would be shown the soldier. The Scientist would walk into the room, a dozen Reingeists in tow, or the rep would be shown the general assembly in the workshop area where all three teams are setting up.
There would be an inevitable query along the lines of what you said, "You were asked to create a soldier. One."

At which point every Reingeist would turn to look at the rep, and say in perfect creepy sync, "I am one soldier.".

They're not quite a hivemind, but they are still both of the same mind and capable of literally syncing up their thoughts, so if it comes to that it should be easy to pass them off as one.

My solder will use the Layered lighweight armor and Insulation suit under the Exoskeleton with the Military armor grade shape-memory alloy scales on top. The flame-thrower and laser will be built into one fore-arm unit, with the railgun in the other. The pressurized air jump jets will be built into the back, and covered on all sides except the exhaust with Armor scales. the matter annihilation power plant will be also heavily armored and placed above the jump jet on the solders back. the advanced sensor suite goes in a HUD for the solder to observe all the sensors see.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The layered armor is not exactly clothing type, but I suppose simple armor platings could help around non-bending bodyparts like shins, thighs and chest.

Flamer, laser and railgun are not small enough to be built in exoskeleton, and such goal wasn't mentioned during development so it's too late to change now. Laser is probably smallest, size of fat assault rifle.

Spoiler: soldier equipment (click to show/hide)

My soldier has:
limited swarm soul (non-self replicating)
nanite body
all robotic construction bits - like those lego style structural thingums
myomer and other advanced materials for building blocks
corrosion resistance
the camouflage we designed: I believe it adapts to appear as the terrain below - or mimics stuff like an octopus
Portable Annihiliation engine for energy.
Confundium Control units - one for each function - slaved so they don't interfere with each other.
lasers
as many brains as he can use to control whatever bits he chooses.
back-up copies of his brain for when he possibly dies
improved reflexes
improved spatial awareness
psionics: teleportation, limited matter annihilation, gravity manipulation, electromagnetism, detect minds, alter perceptions, automatic counter-intelligence
body reconstruction and neural reconstruction for when he wants to become human again - if he does.

Edit: some nonpsi gravitic control units, non psi electromagnetic guns.

Edit 2: a limited ability to clone himself to retain parity with his opponents. (This might be redundant, but hey. If one of hte others sends fifty of their supersoldier, Hache should be able to do the same.

I think that 's everything

@Dustin Hache: did I miss anything?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I mentioned the laser, and the confundium launcher. Um, nanites can be used as bombs. you have a type of nanite that eats whatever you launch it at, and dies afeter a few rounds, so as not to, you know, go full grey goo.

the confundium control device can act as a shield, or it can launch projectiles at massive speeds. it's better than the railgun I was working on when I discovered confundium to begin with. So, for weapons, you have:
a gun that fires projectiles by manipulating kinetic energy itself,
lasers
nanite bombs
swarmbots and hunterkiller bots
psi: electromagnetic control
psi: gravity control
psi: mental influence
psi: mater annihilation.
you want the non psi versions of those? I'll edit that in then. any other weapons I missed?

Edit: oh, and your nanite swarm can pretty much deconstruct and reconstruct anything it encounters to be made into whatever useful item you want. so build yourself a tank, yo.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't think confundium anti-ballistic protection system was ever actually made. You asked if it could be made, but I have no notes about actually making one.

Non psi gravity control is not portable technology. Nor is biological reconstruction tech. Likewise actual railgun is not very easy to carry around, because it is very heavy and big phallus symbol.

Body duplication requires duplication of control unit aka. swarm soul. If you don't want him to run rampart we could let him simply increase his own bodymass.

Also we talked about having preprogrammed forms for the nanite body, such as humanoid, giant spider for climbing, feline form for fast running. Are those included?

That's a lot of weapons to carry for single person. May have to drop something. How many tungsten slugs does he carry? And what weaponry are those various bots equipped with?

Usage of all psionic powers taxes your mind, so overuse turns you a temporary vegetable.

Detection systems are basically psionics, sound and standard visuals. Are those various armors you designed used anywhere? They are little troublematic for someone who can alter their shape freely.


So what we have here so far is:

Brain
    Nanite brain, no self replication
    Improved reaction time
    Improved spatial recognition
        Renders most stealth technologies irrelevant due being able to identify smallest differences and inconsistencies
        Grants "Dances with Elves" type ease of motion
    Psionics:
        Teleportation: At most 2 cubic meters at once.
        Matter annihilation: To cause small scale explosions within field of vision
        Gravity manipulation: Cause maximum 1G acceleration in any given direction
        Electromagnetic control: What does this exactly do?
        Mind detection: Detects distance and direction of minds within 500m range
        Perception alteration: Full range sensory hallucinations. Works best on traditional human senses
        Automatic counter-intelligence: Detects mind reading effects and grants intelligence about perpetrator automatically

Body
    Nanites
        Corrosion resistance
        Extreme enviromental mimic
        Factory swarm: Break down matter into microscopic lego blocks and rebuild it in another form
        Electric manipulation: Form electric circuits within your body
        Kinetic shielding: Surface structure which acts like a bullet sponge
    Lego type structural skeleton. Easily restructured into another form
    Additional human brains
        Used to control other items separately
       
Matter annihilation engine
    1 meter wide pancake
   
Weapons
    Limited gray goo nanites
    Confundium Harmonizer launcher
        Connected directly to primary power unit
        Ammo types:
            Solid tungsten slugs
            Limited gray goo nanites
        Muzzle velocity settings
            Antipersonel, standard, armor piercing/long range, bunker buster
    Variable Frequency Laser rifle
        Connected directly to primary power unit
    Railgun
        3 meter long phallus symbol
    Swarmbots
        Horde of tennis ball sized flying machines

        Can carry range of variabe small weapons and grenades
        Controlled via a pallet they come in
    Hunterkiller bots
        Flyer variant
            Can carry bigger weapons
        Walker variant
            Six legged thing capable of carrying bigger things

Otherwise is that list correct? Was meshanite used anywhere?

Dustan Hache, any questions?

So. Unit capabilities and armament. I... have no idea how to do this. Do I just summarize everything done so far?

edit:

Spoiler: Tactical-technical characteristics (click to show/hide)

Body description goes here. Actually just have a picture. Three feet high at the shoulder, six feet body length plus four feet of tail, massing at at least a quarter-ton. That might actually be an underestimate. 400kg?

Abilities
I guess I can just say that it's fast, agile, and strong?
- In full kit, it's bulletproof, blast-resistant, impact-resistant. Somewhat resistant to lasers and energy weapons just because superalloy is so tough.
- It can see in regular, infrared and ultraviolet light, it has true 360-degree vision with multiple auxiliary cameras.
- It is equipped with a telemetry suite that tracks temperature, pressure, and vibration throughout the body.
- It is equipped with a passive radar antenna on the back of its head by default.
- It has a secondary supercomputer (SPU) that allows it to accurately calculate things like trajectories and other physics- or math-reliant things in realtime.
- It can move out of predicted lines of fire or block bullets with its bodyparts or weapons.

Armaments and equipment:
- It has extremely sharp velociraptor teeth and mountain-lion claws, that are made of hyperalloy.
- It wears a kit of superalloy plate armor that covers the body in an additional layer of protection.
- It's armed with a modified 30mm RARDEN autocannon in a swivel turret mounted over its back legs, which it can fire with utmost accuracy thanks to the SPU. It can fire in bursts of 3 rounds if firing straight forward (over its head) or back. The standard thighpack ammo bins carry something to the tune of 100 rounds of 30mm ammo (50 each), auto-loaded.
-- The autocannon is paired with an active radar suite.
- It's armed with two custom 20mm revolvers. They can be reloaded automatically by holstering them (holsters in V shape over the back) for a few seconds. Ammo carried in compartment on the back, either 60 or 90 rounds.
- It's armed with a superalloy/myomer compound bow. It can fire regular arrows up to a point, but it can also launch them at hypersonic speeds, which requires custom superalloy arrows or they just disintegrate. Ammo load depends on where the arrows are stored, anything between 40 and 160.
- It's armed with a hyperalloy broadsword. The sword is ridiculously tough and sharp. Can easily deflect bullets.

- It has custom superalloy ammo for the cannon and sidearms. If used, it has less effective range, but much greater armor penetration at closer distances.
- It has custom HATAK ammo for the cannon and the bow. If used, it has even less effective range because aerodynamics, but is nigh guaranteed to go through the hardest armors at closer distances.

- It has Total Opaque Concealment grenades that create a super-smokescreen against visual, thermal, and radar detection.
- It also carries regular explosive and fragmentation grenades, just because.

- Its outer armor layer and autocannon can be quickly discarded (separately!) if the situation calls for it.


Design quirks:
- Internal fuel stores are cell-based, designed with intent to cause a steam explosion with internal water stores if puncture occurs, venting combusting material out of the breach via steam pressure.
- Cooling system is double-redundant: primary coolant pump and heat exchanger are protected by the chest cavity. Secondary mechanical coolant pump is towards the back of the spine, and secondary external radiators are in the form of articulated faux-wings.
- Power generation is distributed: primary fuel cells and storage are protected by the pelvic assembly, small secondaries are present in the chest cavity.
- Primary brain is located inside the chest cavity, surrounded by extra shell of skull-like superalloy armor; the head houses the SPU, all senses save radar are present on the body itself. In a tactical bind, a destructive headshot is preferable to sustaining heavy body damage.

Other resistances:
- As a non-organic, it is immune to anything specifically targeting organic lifeforms.
- As a consciousness built on a synthetic platform it is resistant to conventional means of influence (hypnosis, etc).

Weaknesses:
- If without armor kit: "dragonscale" deteriorates with repeated impacts into the same area, radiator wings and eyes are vulnerable to damage.
- Performance decreases with increasing environment temperature. Sharp increases of surface temperature, e.g. via wide-beam energy weapons, can significantly reduce soldier's ability to dissipate heat as well as drain their strength.
- Autocannon and sidearm ammunition bins are external, even if covered by sheet superalloy. There is danger of ammo explosion if they are breached.
- A penetrating hit to the back torso that fails to ignite the fuel mixture or puncture the water storage can result in severe corrosive damage to surrounding muscles and systems.
- Rather visible to radar.

I... think I got everything?

Oh also.

Supersoldiers kind of are one man army, but in your case that might be very literal. Hmh, well, that justification passes. Single squad, at most 12 units.

By the way, you may want to get rid of that MMI in your head. It has 5% change to fry your brain every day.

Very good description. Contains almost all details I wanted to know. Does killerhellhound have any questions regarding this?

Sidearms will have total 60 bullets if assumed full range of equipment, shared between revolvers. My only question is about distribution of ammo types. How many of them are SA-AP bullets? Same for autocannon, distribution of standard, SA-AP and HATAK bullets.

Placement of arrows is a one question I have. Putting them on side causes partial blind spot because of covering number of cameras. Revolvers are already on back, but there's some space available between cannon and holsters. Also low sides below wings could be good spot for them. Anywhere else I think they either hinder movement or stick out like a sore thumb.

4 TOC grenades + 4 other grenades, assuming a full range of equiment. Surface space is getting real expensive here.

So what will be individual equipment of the twelve?

Quick! Whack the the ozclone with something heavy so I can steal the secrets in its brain!

Spoiler: Oceanic Soldier (click to show/hide)

Mostly normal human, excepting for the following implants:
* Several brain chips, to allow for data diving and selective remote control of "zombies."
* Tinfoil hat inside the skull, insulating from Terrorizer, and potentially other radiation.
* Physical port on the back of the neck connected to the brainchips, to interface directly with the Ecosuit.

Wearing a powered exosuit, featuring:
* Based on a preexisting powered lifting system, uses simple electric motors.
* Heavier version of normal combat armor.
* Miniature fission power plant. Boring, but it gets the job done.
* Array of six slaved brains (Three doctors that the solder kidnapped, three solders that the company acquired), connected by a port in the helmet to the solder.
* Two weapon hardpoints on either shoulder, aimed via MMI. Left shoulder holds a light machine gun, right holds a grenade launcher. Can select between normal explosive grenades and EMP grenades. Can these be considered to reload automatically from ammo in storage?
*Terrorizer, magnetic field microwave something something psionic bullshit weapon.

Commanding our very own "zombie" army:
*Humans with similar implants to the soldier, chips, tinfoil, wifi hub.
*Undergone a special house procedure to make them braindead, but still useful! They no longer have any sense of self, but can still control their bodies with some wireless poking.
*Without orders, they can stand around, not choke on their own tongue, and instinctively strike out at nearby people.
*Equipped with company brand body armor, rifles, and tomahawks.

Just try catching a teleporter with psychic powers. You'll find that's not easy.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Are those doctor brains in a braincase or in their own bodies?

For grenade launcher I suppose autofeeder is ok, but rifle have to be reloaded manually. Speaking of which, how many normal and EMP grenades is soldier carrying? And machinegun clips? Depending on packing it could carry rather many.

Is everything about your equipment and capabilities clear for star2wars?

Drones need a major revamp to make that possible. They are more aimed for pistol sized weapons, or small SMG at best. Giving them ability to carry three meter long particle accelerator and its pilot electrolaser AND a nucler reactor it needs is just not possible. Total and complete redesign is necessary. Or cheating. Cheating is easier. And faster.
Observing laws guidelines of this universe means after conversion they won't be drones anymore, but rather gunships, and that doesn't fit in term of super soldier any more. Seriously, how overpowered you want spaz to be? His particle cannon already gives him instant kill ability, but having a horde flying particle cannons isn't really fair anymore, not in IC nor in OOC. And I recall you saying he would be on his own...

Cancel it then maybe? I mean, you didn't specifically mention it was overpowered when I was making the supersoldier, even when I sort of outright asked, you only said that I needed to design better lift systems for the drones to use particle beams, so I was thinking it's fine. Was just trying to keep my super-soldier competitive, not overpower him.

Regarding on his own, I meant I wouldn't really develop any groundbreaking new technologies for him. I considered simply adapting the drones to carry some of the other super-soldier technology pretty minor. The quantum brain upgrade was more because that was an oversight on my part. I intended to add something like that all along, but seem to have forgotten to say it.

Single particle cannon isn't problem. It's a big fucking gun that needs powered exoskeleton to even lift it. Your modern quadcopters had no hope of carrying one. You know how tiny quadcopters are? That's why I said you need better lift systems, because I didn't expect you to go that way. But having a fleet of gunships toting particle cannons in addition of the invisible robot overlord... It goes straight into super category alright. Not that Egan's Dreamstream isn't a weapon of mass destruction by its own right.

Hmm, if it is only few, couple, handful of boosted quadcopter drones then maybe... Magic or mechanical science?

Spazyak, feel free to make suggestions. Overall I've been pretty orthodox by mad scientist standards "Faster, Tougher, Bigger Gun, Swarm of Drones". He can't even fly with his main-body or make portals to send the enemies attacks back at them. 

Super Soldier design:

A main body housing the super-soldier's quantum brains. Has nuclear reactors, particle rifle and that mono-atomic blades. His body should be pretty damn fast due to Fast Body. Has an AR Hud to help him keep track of stuff. Has backup for his brains, incase he dies.

Drones co-ordinate with each other and the main body through QE comms. At least a few are unstealthed some of the time, so that they can share their photon senses with the rest of the swarm and main-body. Maybe specialize some drones for super-speed so they can do a rapid fly-by of the entire battlefield to locate all the other super-soldiers.

Both the main body and the drones have supermaterial-armouring, emp hardening, invisibility, super-senses, Thermovoltaics to take care of excess heat from stealth, and more conventional firepower than you would think thanks to Compact built-in systems. Both has some conventional weaponry, probably anti-material rifles, machine guns and missiles, and some mortars on some drones for artillery support? But the super-soldier can specify some things if he likes. Honestly, I'd like to use tactical nukes I could get away with it?

They have modular design, and some modules for different environments if that could be useful. Like different camouflages for the drones when they're unstealthed in the various environments, and possibly an alternate means of locomotion for the drones and super-soldier in the winter, for blizzards and thick snow. Maybe the high-tech equivalent of snow-shoes for the super-soldier and whatever you use to fly around in winter. Ramjets? The base super-soldier would probably be fine even if buried in snow, or if it sinks into a swamp, and probably just walk out. Plus, it's probably not even that heavy to begin with, so not too worried, since most weight comes from armour, I researched lightweight armour, and the design philosophy of the super-soldier from the beginning was light and fast.

And of course, the finalized super-soldier design was made by a super-genius, so it's pretty decent all-over I guess?

Commentary on the game:
It was fun! Good job! 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If there were something I'd have done differently, it's to make research faster, but forbid singularity type advances, so that there'd be more focus on individual super-soldier researches. And maybe halve the total run-time from a rl month to half a month for the scientist part.

I kept feeling research was too slow throughout the game. Yes yes, from a realistic point of view I was advancing ridiculously fast, but that's a problem of the game design having each turn be a day, rather than me actually being fast. As such, maybe have each turn be a week or something ingame.

It wasn't mentioned before that drones should have armoring, EMP hardening or super senses. Correct me if I'm wrong. Individual drones could be equipped with extended sensor suite. They are battery powered, so constant invisibility means they'll run out of power quickly. Then again soldier could have recharger array so when they run out of power they could return and swap new batteries on fly.

No tactical nukes unless drone can carry one. Same for missiles. They are after all TINY quadcopters. Machine guns, fine. Anti-materiel rifles... probably can't lift those.

Hey, hey, new development is on ice now. No adding anything new that didn't already exist. Different camo paints are fine, but no alternative locomotion because you didn't make any. So no ramjets. The body is modular, but I don't think you really took advantage of that. Replacing broken parts should be easy anyway.

I would guess it weights some. Basic frame was some chitinous material so it is light, probably no more than 80kg. However biggest weight comes from nuclear reactors which you have two in the torso. So accounting those it should be around 180 kg at least. Armor, as light as it is, pushes it around 200 kg. And that's before adding particle cannon, that's possibly around 80 kg too.

Appearancewise it think whole exoskeleton is around 2.5 meters tall. Reactors take some vertical space, so other parts must be scaled up to match normal body proportions.

One question I have. Where are the brains located? At moment I think they are in torso together with nuclear reactors to ensure constant and quaranteed power.

Also I have "some conventional weapons" listed on my notes. What are those? Those are probably using built in system, ie part of the exoskeleton, which again increases weight.

Spazyak, any questions or is everything clear?

May I request to have an Enhanced F88 Austeyr (an enhanced aug who's full capabilities and differences from other augs will be listed in a spoiler below) for one conventional weapon that's aiming can be synced to the suits hud, left arm
 sputtergun mounted sin such a way it can quickly be activated in melee (sputter gun is basicaly a billy club shaped gun with no trigger that fires when the pin is pulledback and doesn't stop until the ammo is used up)
 a fn scar long rifle-Mk 17 LB (Long Barrel) – 510 mm (20 in) barrel. For long range fire...and more grenadey goodness. Right arm, also connected to suits hud for aiming purposes
A M240G for machine gunnery with infantry modification kit. This is the machinegun usualy mounted on m1 abrams (at least what wikipedia said, otherwebsites didn't specify). On shoulders if possible
And a browning m2e2 lightweight .50 caliber machinegun quick barrely change heavy machine gun if I can, normaly used mounted in vehicles or on a tripod on the ground I want this to be something I can pull out (giggity) and weild like a normal gun to lay tons of fire down.

For grenade launchers and mortar launchers other then those already on the guns I think m203 grenade lauchers mounted on the arms should do.

For grenades themselves, I'd like a mix of smoke grenades, fragmentation grenades, and white phosphorus Am-m14. And one or two concusive.

Also get some c4 I can use, half contained in shells made for the 40mm low velocity grenade launcher on the aug.

Spoiler: Enhanced F88 Austeyr (click to show/hide)

1. Longer top rail and introduction of side and bottom rails.
2. Length of Pull has been shortened by 15mm.
3. Modular Lower Forend.
4. Floating Barrel – increases accuracy.
5. Fluted Barrel – dissipates heat from automatic fire.
6. Folding Cocking Handle.
7. Improved Butt design – increased strength, ejection port cover recessed to improve reliability.
8. Provision for Electronic Architecture – to allow centralised control and power management of ancillary devices.
9. Bolt-together Butt – for easier disassembly.
10. Improved Grenade Launcher Mount – improves balance of the weapon.
11. Side-Loading Grenade Launcher (Steyr-Mannlicher SL40) – can fire all currently available 40mm low velocity grenades
12. Improved Grenade Launcher safety. The KORD RIC (Rifle Input Control) is Thales new electronic control system, and will also be integrated into the rifle.copy pasted from the wikipedia page with has full specifications for your liking

Drones will be equiped evenly between stripped down fn p90s firing FN 5.7x28mm fmj ss190, pp200 firing parabelum fmj rounds, and m320 light weight grenadelauncher modules (should allow for firing of multiple grenades with out need to reload.)
Tried to select guns for the drones that could either be easily mounted with little modification to the gun and would be light weight enough to use while maintaining speed.

Fn p90 would end up requiring parts of the casing remove and replaced but due to how the clip works the end of the clip could be expanded and attached to a feeder.

Drones will use simple frag grenades for grenade launchers

Before the mission steal Dr. Ocean's wallet and order a ridiculous amount of takeout.
On second thought forget stealing the wallet. Just kill the delivery man when he arrives and feed him to the zombie army.

I'll leave it to Xantalos to figure out who gets what.

No tactical nukes unless drone can carry one. Same for missiles. They are after all TINY quadcopters. Machine guns, fine. Anti-materiel rifles... probably can't lift those.

I specified that the drones were wielding weapons, you said no to particle beams and now they can only have machine guns? Kind of dissapointing. Or give them mono-atomic katanas so they can at least stab things.

Maybe tiny missiles? Missiles are kind of a drone staple, so I'm kind of shocked you're noping them. My drones are worse than US military ones? How embarrasing!

Hey, hey, new development is on ice now. No adding anything new that didn't already exist. Different camo paints are fine, but no alternative locomotion because you didn't make any. So no ramjets. The body is modular, but I don't think you really took advantage of that. Replacing broken parts should be easy anyway.

I assumed modular design included some modules for different environments? Which is why I didn't actually do any further research on it. Seems kind of pointless to research modular design without modules, and it was part of the original description of the tech iirc.

Also, I thought ramjets are a thing that already exists? Didn't think I'd need to develop it? Just mentioned it as an idea either way.

Also I have "some conventional weapons" listed on my notes. What are those? Those are probably using built in system, ie part of the exoskeleton, which again increases weight.

I specified that in the post you quoted?

Both has some conventional weaponry, probably anti-material rifles, machine guns and missiles, and some mortars on some drones for artillery support? But the super-soldier can specify some things if he likes.

I would guess it weights some. Basic frame was some chitinous material so it is light, probably no more than 80kg. However biggest weight comes from nuclear reactors which you have two in the torso. So accounting those it should be around 180 kg at least. Armor, as light as it is, pushes it around 200 kg. And that's before adding particle cannon, that's possibly around 80 kg too.

Chitinous material is what again? Any reason that can't be replaced with the Super-Material armouring?

One question I have. Where are the brains located? At moment I think they are in torso together with nuclear reactors to ensure constant and quaranteed power.

Sure, that sounds fine. Maybe space them out a bit so that if one gets kilt the super-soldier can still function. Yay redundancy!

It wasn't mentioned before that drones should have armoring, EMP hardening or super senses. Correct me if I'm wrong. Individual drones could be equipped with extended sensor suite. They are battery powered, so constant invisibility means they'll run out of power quickly. Then again soldier could have recharger array so when they run out of power they could return and swap new batteries on fly.

I've made references to them having super-senses before I think, and don't see any reason they wouldn't so it seems odd for them to not have them. I mean, half the point was them to be sneaky scouts along with sneaky assassins, so having super-senses is definitely a must.

Armouring and EMP hardening was assumed by me I think, but again don't see why not, as it should be lightweight?

I thought their capacitor could at least last a day or so? Make the super-soldier a recharger array, or allow the gunships thing, just without the particle beams? Or just a few beams. The drones are annoyingly limited at this point.

Didn't I get an antidazzle orb system in plac,e after my first prank?

That's the Basilisk Effects thing under Head

[spazyak]

Oh daemonic spoon, I spent the morning researching rifles and weaponry of the conventional sense. Hope you enjoy them. They are all in my first post

More details on loadouts:

Spoiler: Details! Killerhellhound look here. (click to show/hide)

So. I already outlined that I basically want several "classes" of soldier, because that's what soldiers generally do, really. And if I do get squads now... that means there's no need for every unit to carry every weapon. So the matter of where to put arrows kind of solves itself. Putting them on the body below the wings is technically feasible, but I decided against using underslung equipment simply because of how much range of motion the limbs and the body as a whole must have. Verisimilitude dammit.

Sidearms probably all load APSA, the superalloy rounds. They're going to be used for up-close murderization, not long-range attack anyway.

As far as autocannon ammo - can we rule that the autoloader can choose not just between either left or right ammo bin, but also between one of two belts in each ammo bin? Because I'd like four different ammo types. APSA and HATAK we have, and I'd like standard APBC (armor-piercing ballistic-cap, that's what they're called), and also the standard APSE that RARDEN fires. It's a "secondary effect" round that explodes after piercing some armor, useful against vehicles and any delicate devices such as people. Probably same range as the APBC, but goes through less armor. Actually... might just call it APHE for "high explosive", even if not technically correct, just so there's less confusion.

So classes, repeated:

Recon class - lightly armed, stealthy class. Carries bow, sword, sidearms. No autocannon. Arrows are stacked in four quivers (can literally be leather quivers, without even any plating because arrows don't explode) located in pairs where the ammo bins of the autocannon were. In terms of reaching for arrows they'd be the equivalent of a hip quiver. Recon uses the bow as the primary weapon, so it carries the most arrows - either 120 (30 per quiver) or 160 (40 per quiver). I'd probably recommend taking half-and-half superalloy and HATAK arrows.

Support class - long-range fire class. Carries autocannon, bow, sword. No sidearms. Arrows in two quivers replacing the sidearm holsters, again either 30 or 40 per quiver, again half-and-half. If I can do the extra cannon ammo types, go with 20 each APBC/HATAK and 30 each APHE/APSA. If not, just APHE and HATAK ammo, half-and half in the two ammo bins. Actually the soldier can choose the loadout individually.

Assault class - maximum firepower class. Carries autocannon, sidearms, sword. Intended to find the target, close distance as possible, and dispatch it, sidearms akimo and autocannon firing all at once. Equal split APSA/HATAK ammo for the autocannon, only APSA for the sidearms.

The squad makeup is probably up to the soldier. Not sure if we'll take all 12, though more is always merrier. I was aiming for 8, sort of, since I had 24 Reingeists splitting into 3 groups of 8 and applying appropriate camo. I sort of thought that the preparations would have been important.

2 Recon, 3 Support and 3 Assault is probably a relatively balanced grouping for a squad of eight.

Though if the first squad gets TPK'd we're going for 12 on the second test. <_<

In the end we got some very interesting products. We have psychic gray goo, army of velocicats, badass normal, psionic hivemind, ninja Borg, Phobetor's tradesman, invisible robot overlord with literal case of multiple personalities and sapient giant spider.

Avengers, Assemble!

Also yeah, that's an important detail.

If I can just deactivate the MMI to avoid complications, do that. Otherwise call up Captain Malpractice again and see if he's willing to try gambling his life on him being able to safely undo his work. I imagine Atreyu will have some choice objects to interact with the good doctor with if he fails.
