(with a grin, kestrel orders the launch of the longbow. the drone responds, the circuts and servos responding to the rapid feeds coming from the tac-net hub.)

I'm glad that flying drones doesn't trigger mines.

Hello Caramel Camel Corps. Are you still taking in new recruits? I stumbled upon your saga while browsing and would love a chance to join in the fun.

"I don't think we'll be able to regroup fast enough! how are we going to wade through a minefield, while avoiding angry mechs, and reach the middle of the complex? and my drones... they need my guidance!! I can't run while controlling my drones?"

did you read the recent threads? I'm sure we were taking in new recruits...

Always. Just fill out the requisite paperwork and we'll set you up with the appropriate mechanized unit.

Ease up Kestrel, I'll come to you. You can't move for the mines - but neither can they.

Malek and Kail will back you up, and we'll be right there.

CRYPTIC - leave that tank to Chuck, move up!

Yes I think positions were still open. But I just wanted to make sure regardless. I would love your feedback on my build though. I was thinking:
[Komodo]
Ablative
HP: 20/20
Torso: N/A
LA: Tactical Shield
RA: Frag Cannon
Legs: N/A

And Assault Skill if free classes were still being offered to new recruits

Positions are still open. If you haven't found it already here's the link to the player resources drive:
drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByBa8MyYxN52WXBaSGRiNHZlaG8&usp=sharing

The rest of the players can fill you in on what stuff to take.

Will do Mr. Kerry! I hope to prove my worth to the 3C soon.

New recruit Nihilus checking in..

Nihilus was a young military wunderkind who had the unfortunate tendency to self-destruct in his private life. After losing everything back home in one of his downward spirals, he decided to seek a new future as a merc. Upon hearing of the growing reputation of the 3C from his old military buddies, he decides to give it a shot. He is determined to earn his place among their ranks... or die trying

The build im interested in so far after going through the Starter Mech Construction is this:
[Komodo]
Ablative
HP:20/20
DEF: 8
ED: 6
SR: 6
Move: 4
Torso: N/A
LA: Tactical Shield
RA: Frag Cannon
Legs: N/A

And the Assault skill if free classes are still given.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Welcome aboard Nihilus! Added to the roster.

You might be better off with the Crocodile if you're not going the Mace route. It does around the same damage, more reliably, with about the same defence. It has more space for upgrades, and if you want to sell it it's worth more as well.

I thought it'd be more fitting to my pilot's backstory to go with the deathwish like tactics of the Komodo over the more balanced mid range Croc. I was initially leaning towards the mace at first but I didn't want to become too much of a liability since it would leave the Komodo more susceptible to being swarmed. I figured the FC would be a good enough compromise.

The blips on the tactical scanner refused to go away despite Sparebits relentless blinking. The little symbols leered out of the information display. Goats. Armored charge goats backed up by a mass-bullet barrage.

War. War always changed. Somehow always for the wierder.

"This is Sparebits, I'm moving to intercept the enemy mech group.
Chuck - get the tank.
Cryptic, you're with me.
The remaining enemy cobra is heavily damaged from laser-fire.
I need the VTOL gone before it locks on to anyone."

His mech came to a slow stop, power transfering from the motive systems to back-up computational processing. Sparebits hand hovered over a giant red botton he'd kludged into the broadcasting system. Didn't shake.

"I'm activating the electronic data interdiction. Please update your protocols."

He pressed the activation switch. The nimbus shuddered with the sudden power surge and then the air-waves filled with exabytes of transmissions data and an awful, screeching guitar track.

Sorry, that pic was wrong (failed to account for kestrel's move). Here's a better one.

Nice one. I think Kestrel's drone already locked onto A2 though, so you could fire something at it instead. Tac-net-teamwork!

AHAHAHAHA! Suck it tanks! I knew obsessively overwatching would pay off sooner or later.

>might be worth the company investing in a second modernisation program.
Here here!

Feel free to beg for gear, you'll get it most likely on the condition that you pay it forward
My vote on modernization is for a lord, the Komodo is still reasonably tank, while the cobra is definitely showing its wear.

What does modernization entail exactly?

As I understand it, the company pays to have another mech/loadout available for selection in the Construction Rules page for new players.

Essentially the corp pays out so that newbies like us aren't stuck with mediocre mechs.

The one they're talking about specifically replaces the Cobra with the Lord.

There's another that replaces the Komodo with the Batman.

I also assume it's a one-time fee, so in the long run everyone saves money, though I recall some mention of conversion when transferring money from our wallets to the corp? 5 to every 1 credit or something?

I'm in Asia

I have to ask, why do you capitalize the last letter of everyone's name?

5:1 player cred to company cred.
Player-player cred loans are either not allowed or are 1:1, I'm quite sure it's disallowed as creds represent favors and friends gained or something

Yeap. The company already has one, that replaced the Alligator with the Crocodile, which is just all round superior.

Hm.
I've only just realised looking at this that purchasing new licenses unlocks new company assets for purchase. Guye Co. unlocked CQC Doctrine and the mechapult, Knite Lite unlocked Hunter Doctrine and the minelayer missile, and Exo Terra unlocked the Electronic Support aircraft. I wonder what options the other licenses will offer.

On a related note, I feel that the reason the extraction aircraft goes so unused is because it comes at the price of neutralising your cost/pay for the mission, and I think I speak for most if not all of the corps when I say that they would rather get their mech shot out from under them and risk potential death escaping on foot than give up their payday.

>I want to be the one who lays down overwhelming firepower so looks like Gunner class is the one for me right?
You tell me.

...

...

Oh, neat. Must have missed this one.

I do recall this though. The class always struck me as a bit gimmicky and not terribly practical.

"Woah, that looks awesome! Gunner for me then!"

>Take the Gunner class

I pulled that with the base gunner skill too. For an example of what you can do at max level look no further than our own Bludhawk.

Shouldn't these be in the player resources? I didn't even know these existed.

Also you guys made me look up what a group of crocodiles is called because we have so many new players picking them up now.
Apparently it's called a float or bask, huh.

Oh, and welcome to the CRC-LZ/G club.

Command did say it was combination of a few different things that did not make it into other classes.
Scythe FireControl and the ION cannon cover the entire map if burning HIGH ENERGY DEATH lines maybe?
Outdated one was taken down, eve is out of date since it before we purchased Advanced Warfare Training. I'm sure when it comes time for the "hanger" round/thread we will get a fully up to date copy.

Command will probably update it next hangar thread. These are pulled from archived threads and are out of date. The first one is missing our black market purchase, and the second advanced warfare.

>we have so many new players picking them up now.
Not really a surprise, the Crocodile is an incredibly good budget robot. Kerry tells me that the things have been selling like hot cakes since Gavial put them on the market, and it's not hard to see why. They've got comparable performance to other modern frontline units, and while its laser rifle is basic it still packs a hell of a wallop.

The two licenses are 80 each.

Running joke about Honeypot. She(?) hates being misspelled as HoneyPot, so when she complained I changed her and everyone else to HoneypoT. Then Spare ordered that I keep it that way forever.

>[Reaper] always struck me as a bit gimmicky and not terribly practical.
Reaper doesn't do much, except in a few niche cases where it's absolutely bloody terrifying.
Most of these builds use mechs or equipment we don't have yet, eg: Scythe Motive Control with an AESR plasma blade, to kill everything within 2 squares of you.
The only build I can see at the moment with it is Thousand Cuts + Swarmer Missiles + Stiletto Targeter, which gives 6 attacks critting better and better, the last of which crits on a 7+.

There are only two Alligators with grenade launchers, I'm not sure where the third explosion even came from. I think one hit you direct, and the other scattered forward. So you've taken 9/10 HP.

I wonder how this would look like to other people.

It depends, I think.

On its own it doesn't look terribly practical with our current weapon base.

Now imagine a Reaper with Advanced Warfare. Reaper - Scythe Fire Control - Thousand Cuts.

+2 to all attacks from Advanced, enemies take -4 Def, and you can allocate shots to different targets, doing something no other mech can possibly do. If you have a lot of shots (Linked weapons) you can sweep away entire groups on your own.

Do the sword-route and your blade singlehandedly slices through every target in your reach. Getting [Cleave] on all melee weapons alone is worth the price of admission.

We have a lot of options for high-damage single target attacks, but the ability to hit /areas/ of smaller units is very valuable.

A single reaper could handle 3 LAVs in one action, compared to Cryptic, Gunman and Sparebits using 3 mechs and a total of 6 actions to accomplish the same.

I'm not sure I'd want to be the Reaper? But if I was on a team with a reaper, I'd know be on a team with someone who simply handles every target around.

1/3rd of the reason I'm interested in the Reaper training. Area control has proved difficult, though I like to think Wechuge did an ok job with the mortar. Presently, I think our best option for it is combining Alpha Strike and Vigilance to attack 4 separate targets, but even that is slightly lacking.

My concerns about the class: Against mechs/bosses, no bonuses on your rolls. Not a real flaw, but dice hate me. With [Mo], is friendly-fire a risk, and can you select which adjacent tiles are targetted when using a Cleaving weapon? Does [Ha] negatively affect salvage?

The other two thirds: No one has done it yet, and I like exploring new things. And, as the guy who meets the grim reaper most often, it'd amuse me to wear the title.

>No one has done it yet
Well no, but we haven't got it yet.

Slashing weapons haven't been seen yet either, actually.

Honeypot used a slashing weapon to great effect in the Principality Defence battle. Wiped out two siege tanks and horribly damaged a third in a single charge, was absolutely beautiful.

Rolled 1, 10, 20, 5, 20, 20 = 76 (6d20)
