Dude, just keep some of the crappy, beat up mechs you salvage from combat.
Last time I played, I had way too many low-level mechs.

[Jack A T]

But then you'll have to buy a new Mecha.

Retreating counts as failing a fight.

[Blaze]

Can we get a screenie of your lance's stats/feats?. I'm real interested in what build you're thinking of making.

I remember playing this months ago, partially because I once made a sentient robot made completely out of swords.

[Jack A T]

Welcome back to Let's Play GearHead 2.  Sadly, it seems that whole piracy thing was a one-time option, so I'm going with that GET MORE STUFF suggestion.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Revy: Done.  Now, I need more stuff.  Like a new mecha.




Revy: I'm doing fine.
Ezsjo: How's your mecha holding out?  Ovaapd Jyyba at Fuchal Market needs a cavalier for an upcoming mission, and the reward is a fully customized mecha.  You'd be a fool to pass this up.
Revy: You mean you still trust me enough to give me info on a mission?  AWESOME!
Ezsjo: Err...

Revy: I've beaten her before, and will again.
Ovaapd: Start at the hospital, I recommend.

Revy: A terrorist?  Do I get a reward for beating him up?
Sathar: ...Don't beat the terrorist up.  Just confirm he's a terrorist so we can arrest him.  The name is Tindir.  Oh, and the building he plans to strike is Comet Burger.  Oh, and the reward is a mecha.

Revy: I hate Comet Burger!
Tindir: OKAY!  Take this bacteria bomb and ruin their patties!

Revy: Got his bac bomb.  Where's my new mecha?
Sathar: FINALLY!  PROOF!  AT LAST!  Here, take these keys for a brand new TR9-02 Trailblazer!

Revy: ...You're kidding me.  A 25 ton, purple, lightly armed scout mecha.
Sathar: Sorry, recent budget cuts involving disasterous missions to hunt down some pirate who utterly destroyed a small merchant ship recently prevented me from giving you anything nice.
Revy: Err...
Sathar: But I guarantee that that pirate won't escape us.


Revy: HELL YEAH!
Lava Shark: ...Let me get this straight.  You want to escape the police who are hunting you down for attacking a small ship, and you want to look like a hero.  So you rob a second ship.
Revy: That's about right, yeah.
Lava Shark: Don't you think that maybe, maybe, horrible crimes make you more of a target for the police?


It was a simple mission. 1 guard.  Ship's particle cannon forced Lava to eject, though.


Revy: A recruiter, I see.  Well...I'm tougher than this new recruit.  Time to challenge a guy to a duel.

Revy goes to the duel, realizes that her enemy's mecha is, frankly, a walking tank with a giant rocket launcher and railgun, and runs like hell.  With that done, Revy decides to follow this enemy, and attack her lance.



Revy: Well.  This...sucks.



I have some good news.  Both Revy and Lava Shark have reached 5000 XP.  This means they can increase 1 stat each by 1.

We're not done in this spinner yet, but what stats do you want our characters to increase?

[Frumple]

Reflexes, oh gods, reflexes. Improve it!

I'm surprised you're not getting shot into lil'bitty pieces constantly

[Boksi]

Reflexes are goody-goody.

[Josephus]

Yes, improve reflexes!

[ToonyMan]

This looks interesting.

[Blaze]

Reflexes are goody-goody.

^
But unless you swapped your Heavy Gauss Rifle, you might want to build artillery too.

Also, boost Lava Shark's reflexes. At 8 it's small wonder that he got blown away by a single ship cannon.

How's your Buru Buru kitted? The trailblazer could be a significant update.
In any case, if you've got someone with decent Engineering, take that shiny Class 7 sensor for yourself.

[EuchreJack]

If you have decent mecha engineering, strip the computer out of the Trailblazer, remove the mecha database from the computer, and get some MR or TR software installed.  If not, boost mecha engineering so you can use computers on mecha in the future.

[Jack A T]

Reflexes for all!

Attempts to improve Revy's Buru Buru with Trailblazer parts failed horribly due to terrible luck.  This is with a 5 in Mecha Engineering.  What remained of the Trailblazer was sold, due to being pretty bad with no sensors or computer.

Lava Shark: Remind me again why I'm working with you, Revy?
Revy: You get to meet a lot of new people!
Lava Shark: All of them are either insane people talking about how they want fries on their politicians, or out to kill us!
Revy: It's an exciting job!
Lava Shark: Exciting in that I routinely nearly get killed.
Revy: The pay is good!

Lava Shark: What pay?  You haven't paid me a single penny.
Revy: Err...
Olxipi: Hey, you two, I'm sort of trying to get my lance to attack you here!
Revy: Oh.  Right.

Needless to say, Olxipi's forces are crushed swiftly.  Revy takes three things to add to her mecha: a Quick Bloom Vine Pistol, some arm armor (later removed as I try to make the mecha go faster), and some Thorn Defense Drones.  She also sells a ton of junk.


Revy: PERFECT!

Revy: ...Well.  This sucks.

Revy: I am getting TIRED of THIS.

Again, enemy escapes.  We skip a ton of running from the police.

Revy: DOES.  THIS.  EVER.  END?

Revy wins again, except this time, we actually find the base!


Revy: Don't be glum!  Think of the fun we'll have!

Yes.  The group defeated Odbgu and her lance.  They actually defeated them.  But they paid a horrible price.  Lava Shark lost his mecha in the fight.  Luckily, a replacement shall be easy.  Our reward for this mess is a mecha.

So...next mission: fight, help, or loot?

[Myroc]

Fight and loot.

[USEC_OFFICER]

So it's over? I'd say loot, but you'll have to probably fight to do it so...

Fight and loot.

[Josephus]

Yes, Fight And Loot.

[techno65535]

Fight and loot.
