Is the tower very armored?

[areyoua]

Uh...

Figure out some way to improve the engines on the way to the battle.

During the Battle,

Try to figure whether we have an advantage in range or not (probably not). If we've the longer range from our harpoon, do my utmost to keep them in our range and stay out of their range. If they've the longer range, try to close in as fast as possible whilst doing some kind of evasive maneuver. Once in range, just try to keep moving in an evasive pattern to make us a harder target.

You can't see from here *cough* Pixels Pack *cough* by the way you really shouldn't investigate the Pixels Pack to see you enemy...

Make sure we punch through their gun, or at least disable it with the harpoon on our way in!

[areyoua]

Well, I don't really have a say in that being on the bottom floor whilst the harpoon is on the roof, but I would recommend the gunner do as you've said.

And I'm looking at the pixel pack now.

Edit: Well, I'm done, but I don't have any startling revelations to give out.

[Ehndras]

Ok guys, created the Pixels OOC thread http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=95563.0 

Wait, so I'm going right?

Perfect

EDIT: Wait, no, your doing it terribly, these are moving vehicles, you'll have to be half running, half shooting, doing that whilst hunting could be tricksy unless the whole habitat stops for you which I can't see happening.

I just realized that I'm assuming that "no roof access" just means a flat, featureless roof. That is what it means, right?

You can't quite see from here but it appears to have a short stubby tower rising out of the top

I just don't want to be in the hab if it blows up I won't take a shot unless the other hab grinds to a halt, which it'll have to at some point either from the pilot dying, its wheels being jammed, because of terrain slowing it down, or to turn around. Or if we utterly fuck its guidance systems or engine.

Points is,

Don't be there when we get shot.

Morning update! 'cos it's the weekend 


Date: 30th January 2786 11 AM

As you catch up to the bandits and realize their habitat looks strangely familiar, you fire the harpoon which embeds itself firmly in the side of the blue's habitat. It also seems that their turning around to open fire. Ehndras parachutes out of the Jenny Haniver a 'lil way in front of them with a rifle whilst Sayaks decides whether to or not land on the blues

In Machu Pichu things are a bit more peaceful, PyroDesu talks with Bill and works on the engine a bit earning 4 coins whilst Adwarf sees with one of the chaps in the market about an idea he had "Hey! I've had this great idea! If I could take apart three rifles, weld them together and link up all the firing mechanism's to one trigger that'd be pretty cool, what do you think?" It takes a fair bit of convincing and work but Adwarf manages it, as he didn't pay for the rifles in the first place though the shopkeeper wants the finished gun back and gives you 2 coins for it, much to your annoyance he charges 60 coins for it whilst a single rifle only costs 16 coins, seems he made more money from your work than you.

[sayaks]

Did i bring something ti get through the roof with? If i did then land on their roof, get through and try to flank them. Make sure to be very careful and if something happens have a path up to the jenny Hanniver ready.

[areyoua]

Oh dear god, Ehndras is so screwed right now.

Sayaks, stay in the god-damn airship. We don't need to lose another weapon to stupidity right now. Either start back to Hope, or call for them to surrender. Or do both at the same time.

I guess we could try to retract the harpoon for another shot, but I don't think that's really that likely. I suppose we could just try to get into their habitat through the hole we made, but that also seems unlikely to impossible depending on their turning speed.

[sayaks]

Hm, ok then i will return to the habitat with the airship, i will then see if i can snipe someone through the hole, note to self: get bombs.

[Aklyon]

Hey, its those sneaky blue cowards from before! Now we can retake what they ran off with from the wreck that they said we could have most of!

[PyroDesu]

(Yay for revenge!)

Continue working in the engine room, talking to Bill, making sure to ask about what looks like spare habitats in storage.

(Did anyone get the reference with Bill's name? Hint: Scientist)

I know I didn't wait for many people to reply but if I did whilst doing a fight like this it could took a while


Date: 30th January 2786 12 AM

The blues perform a quick U-turn, splattering Ehndras part-way through the maneuver, the chain also snaps and gets caught underneath Hope's wheels. Machine gun fire then blasts Hope damaging the chassis and cutting through the rope holding Kirby's spawner in place, it seems the Blue's have entered a collision course with you.

Pryodesu asks Bill about the spare habitats, apparently they're mostly used for diplomacy, scavenging and trading, with a wink Bill says "Want to take one for a spin?"

Didn't we say to hit their gun first? what are they shooting us with?

[ashton1993]

You said to hit the gun first but that would have been impossible to do, also saying where you want to hit doesn't necessarily mean you'll hit it - a giant harpoon isn't going to be very accurate. But anyways they've got a front mounted machine gun, you were chasing them and they were pointing away from you so could only aim for their back/sides/top which you did, then they turned around and are now facing you.
