Mecha Space Pirate Quest XX

They crit like crazy on ships if I remember right.

Don't forget that 500k Front end SuperHeavy that should turn the RhineHawk when it gets a few hits off.

You realize, as she talks, that you've heard of Lysa before. Lysa Fleur, you think, although that might be a stage name. After all, she'd hardly be the first idol to have one (Red Siren springs immediately to mind). You've definitely seen her face on posters when you and Naomi drove through town, although considering your habitually stay-at-home lifestyle this is the first time you've noticed her. You have a hard time caring about S-Pop singers when they don't pilot a mech. You recognize the big gold hairpin more than anything else, really.

"Excuse me." A deep voice resounds from behind you, "Are you here to pray? If you are new to the faith, I would be happy to welcome you personally."

You spin around at the same time Naomi does, feeling faintly guilty. After all, you came here on impulse. The priest, though, seems friendly. A tall, smiling, broad-shouldered man with slightly messy long hair, he looks down at the pair of you expectantly.

>[Drop spaghetti]
>[Try to keep it cool]

As a comparison of ships, and since I already pointed out the difference in direct armament

>15% less kills, 25% less armor

Is not a gigantic difference.

They do, but the true target for the crits, the core doesn't work for plot armored ships such as certain protag and antag ships. Not only that but they have to work through both that shield and the high class CIWS system which would rip harpies to shred.

We should develop some custom machines of our own that are able to withstand the extra punishment.

>[Try to keep it cool]
[SPAGHETTIS INTERNALLY]

>REJOICE

Well shit, time to vacate the solar system.

>[panic]

>Drop Spaghetti

Insult his religion in some super obscure way

Coupled with the guns it means the rhinehawk might die in a single broadside volley when the shields go down. It'll definitely die with two.

>>[Try to keep it cool]
If there is a blond haired janitor in the area, book it. Just.. say you're curious and taking in everything.

I imagine you want to fight those ships with other ships. Using mechs for support if they are used at all.

Mecha do crit like crazy on ships, and yes, normally, those crits are all that matters. However, there are exceptions. Keep in mind that AP weapons halve the armor of starships too, and it IS possible for a high-damage mech to damage a starship even without a crit if its armor has already been weakened or if it's a small vessel. Normally, the number of attacks matters more. On a crit that isn't a megacrit, though, armor generally still provides protection, so I can't say that damage is irrelevant.

>[Drop spaghetti]

I'm debating whether or not protag/antag mecha can still crit the core on a protag/antag ship.

Again, discounting the weapons. As I said. Twice.

Moreover, where are you getting this "in a fight" mentality from? No where did I imply it was a match in a fight.

Why are you arguing this point that no one made?

To be fair, why else would you match to ships designed for fighting against each other if not to see how they would do in a fight?

>Blond Haired Janitor

I don't think Caesar might be able to handle Anderson

Because I never planned on fighting it. I plan on winning this "war" without engaging the military in a very public battle like that.

And I was just shooting the shit between updates.

I've thought about this a bit, and one major use for mecha in a ship-to-ship fight seems to be the same thing they're used for in, say, Macross. As a supplement to the CIWS turrets to keep enemy mecha from landing on the hull and breaking things. This is a bit different from gundam, where you have mecha outright destroying ships left and right.

No no, thats a blond haired bespeckled priest who is likely working in the space vatican on Popion Persieye 8. The blond janitor is some related to the series that priest is from.. whom he could also not handle at all.

So 'Anti-ship' weapons in this system are low caliber high fire rate machine guns. Bizarre.

That gives me a great idea for a mech.

If you're planning on rescuing people, you're going to have to fight soul.

pls god no

..Is it mecha pope?

Who?

Anti ship weapons are really things like main beam cannon batteries. You don't get more than one crit for spraying down a ship with an autofire gun, otherwise Yoritomo would have used his cannon instead of his heat swords on the Green Skulls' cruiser.

Unless you are playing gihrens greed and you stick gihren in a Gwazine apparently.
Man I wish I could read moon runes, that game seems like a blast.

...

>We're gonna have to fight space Hellsing

At least we might met a top tier waifu thats gonna murder us horribly

This guy, right here.

This fucking guy.

So what you're saying is that we need to equip all the kestrels with fists to punch battleships to death.

>Implying the pope needs a mecha

Not necessarily. That is the quickest and most sure-fire way, yeah, but it's not the safest. We could make this a war of the media and avoid open and high-profile combat with the military.

Of course that would never happen. Everyone in this quest, both the anons and the actual characters are way too fucking crazy for that.

Oh fk. I second the motion to drop spagetti and run off with Naomi in tow.

>a war of the media
>when one side are literally pirates
Dude come on. We rob people for a living.

>quickest and most sure-fire
Yes, i can see a direct assault on one of those battleships going splendidly.

Have to say I'm really liking the remastered Valkyria Chronicles. So may not participate much.
Also just because we a pirate doesn't mean we just go around and blow people up who surrendered or civilians.

It's either win and free them or die and don't.

Pretty clear-cut there.

We do rob them though. And steal all their shit. And ransom them if they have rich relatives.

I don't think sure-fire means what you think it means.

>Gil lowering himself to be a janitor

Trash, you obviously know nothing.

Well, by most indications, most pirates in the Belt are One Piece type pirates. Mostly harmless and provide security better than most PMCs. In fact, they also provide onsite demonstrations on why they're better

If we win, we have the ship. Guaranteed either they are rescued then.

Or they died due to the fighting.

If we lose we are dead and don't have the ship in our possession and it doesn't matter.

Sure-fire.

You try to stay cool. You really do, "Well, you see, I...I haven't been here before, and..."

His eyes bore into you like a lance.

"Er...um..." You stammer.

Naomi grabs your arm with a big, sunny smile, "I'm from Luna. Please don't scare my boyfriend, I'm hoping to convert him since we're in the same squad. You have a very lovely church."

The priest looks delighted, "Really? That's splendid news. May the blessings of the True God be upon your union. What a fine time to be alive." He sighs, the sternness melting out of him, "I rejoice every day at this new age of heroes. Although, boy...you should know this, that great evil must exist for heroes to be necessary. A light is only valuable in the dark. I shall pray for both of you to find the happiness you wish for." He makes a sort of Christian handsign at both of you, as a good Jove-worshipper you're not quite sure what it means, and goes to talk to some of his older parishioners.

You heave a sigh of relief, which lasts until you look up and see Ensign Young glaring at you with his arms crossed over his chest, "Why did you come here?" He demands to know.

Lysa is smiling sweetly, "Keith, are these friends of yours?"

You feel that sense of self-possession again, you doubt your voice will quiver at all.

>[I came to apologize...for the fact that you are such a fucking casual]
>[I came here to laugh at you...because you are such a fucking casual]
>[Be nice to him]
>[

Tell that to all those muslim guys who had to pay ransoms. Or the escorts who dont give up or get lucky.

Thankfully this is a mech game. If Gilgamesh exists in it, which he might, he doesn't have the absolutely insane abilities he had in his own series.

I came here to REJOICE! At the fact that you're a fucking casual.

>reee softly at him

Andersen is actually on the short list for the visual reference for Roarke's dad.

>[Be nice to him]
Lets not have him thinking we heard all that bullshit

Even if he does we just need to find a guy with a towel over his faces to fight him for us.

I can definitely see him as the last australian.

Well it would explain where he got his HOT BLOOD from.

Dude had a will like the finest of steel.

We are on a date. The world doesn't revolve around you you know.

Dismissal is the greatest insult.

I'm answering the question, not implying the King of Heroes would even contemplate stooping to menial labor.

This. Damn son.

>I came here to laugh at you...because you are such a fucking casual

I mean seriously, blablabla oh I'm never defeated in sims blablabla I am justice. How old are you?! Real life isn't sims no matter how much you prattle.

Fuck that noise. We should be mocking lacus for her scientology recruitment speech mercilessly.

I just wanted to bask in the glow of a fine sword edge undulled by all the foes he had to hew down.

this.
also with a "fucking casual" joke if possible/subtle enough.

...fucking casual

I just got a gut feeling that thats gonna be a real bad idea

Hey, lacus sicking auntie haman on us just accelerates Caesar's recruitment into the kestrels. Win/win.

Ya that makes sense plus the fact that we're most likely stealing a hostage later

>becoming filthy pirate scum

Took a perfectly good reaction image and fucked it up.

We should go pirate just to spite you, shitty voice in Caesar's head.

Calm your tits, jesus, you're welcome to stay with space hitler.

You don't need to go that far.

>recruiting fakers
>ever

Yeah nah. I would rather not antagonize someone who is the daughter of our boss and likely has a cult following her whims. Like a evil Red Siren.. only pink. the pink flamingo.

So we have half aussie genetics, and if roarke's mom hair color means anything, half irish.

It explains so much about him.

>half irish-aussie badass

we literally can't lose.

Fucking pirate sympathizers.
I just wanted an excuse to use that picture, Im not actually mad

>Roarke is the last Aussi
Makes a lot of sense honestly

Good on you for sticking in character

You might want to take a look at the win/loss ratios those countries have.

Funny enough the Irish have a reputation as really good soldiers

When they aren't shooting their pants buttons at people because no one thought to check if their bullets fit their guns.

Better soldiers while drunk though. Just like Slavs.

>Gentlemen, & ladies, I present to you Exhibit A: Capt. John 'Soap' Mactavish

pretty much. Same with the canadians oddly enough. Just throw them at germans and they just go to town.

Still, I was thinking more the ex con cool and dirty fighting mixed with the irish fighting prowess.

Think he is probably Scottish.

"I'm on a date, you know. Jesus. Not everything revolves around you, no matter what your girlfriend says. Besides, a church is a good place to talk quietly with someone cute." You put your arm around Naomi and squeeze. She smiles prettily and gives you a much tighter hug, leaning up and giving you a kiss on the cheek. You feel your face turn red. A-a-a g-g-girl just kissed you!

"Oh, I see." Keith smiles, "Well, that aside, I've been thinking...since you don't have much imagination when it comes to painting your mech, why not just pure white? Then, when the thrusters activate, moving parts expose glowing crystalline panels and that silly horn opens up to become a proper hero's crest?"

You try to imagine this, and stare at him in silence for several seconds. Judging. Naomi stares too.

[Continued]

Also ded.

Unicorn is a fucking beast of a machine but still doesn't take away from the fact that is its somewhat silly looking.
And Jesus needs to keep his damn mouth shut about our paint scheme. We need beat his ass in a simulation or real life

Oh, man. He ded, senpai. I propose we kick his ass in sim so he would shut up about it.

..and at that moment in time, as if through a miracle, the spirits of ancient /m/, Veeky Forums, /v/ and /a/ gazed upon this scrub and deemed him unworthy of paradise. Stuck in the eternal lands of Get Gud.

You can paint your mech that way just stay away from mine

Is Veeky Forums still alive in this future? We should check on that as Caesar. and challenge Jesus to a duel for insulting our mech's honor
