Very well, apologies for being late on this matter.... Especially after my last action....

No worries.

Certainly reasonable. Personally, I'm a little worried that we'll be stuck in a few too many repetitive-feeling fights - large groups of unimportant foes are an essential part of the Invids' identity, and this is just the first of many fights against them to come. Most likely, at least, who knows what you're up to, but the rp's name kind of suggests that much. That's why I'd like some option to speed up those parts of the combat, and to do fancy stuff like firing a bunch of missiles at once; to add one more tool that can be used every once in a while. That said, it's tricky to find the right way to go about it - and you can always call for that special occasion when you feel like we'd be stuck for eternity without being under any real threat.
On a somewhat related note: Do you think it'd be possible to let me do a bit more of the dodging so that Milo can dish out a little damage as well? That way, I'd burn a little quicker through my actions, and thus would be more likely to end the rounds after firing about as often as most of the others. Plus I'm good at dodging, and he might make better use of the missiles that I'm mostly avoiding to get my strike bonuses.

That is very much doable. I'll have Milo do some shooting with his Beta's ordnance on his next action.

Sorry, but the missiles are a no go until you can get them looked at by the techs on the Arwyn.

Ah, well. It was worth a try.

Sorry for the short post, I've just been a bit conflicted on how to respond, so I figured a short and direct approach was better than stagnating.

At least you posted and I can move things forward now.

Yeah, and I can get Cyrus from the ship....
MrSaturnUL
He Has The World In His Head
So.... I suppose i can drop a filler post? Also, could I say that Cyrus is with any of the crew?
Psychie

That is fine. I was holding on another post until everyone has had a chance to interact if you wanted. You are all on the Arwyn now, and it is a relatively small ship (compared to the much larger Command Cruisers or the Escort Carriers) so it would be easy to meet up with other pilots from your squad.

Cam we go to guardian form with the hard points equipped?
Silanon

Pretty sure that works - looking at the rules, it only states Battloid mode as the problem. Does make sense too, looking at the pictures; the Guardian mode seems to have the wings still out there, in position to glide and carry a loadout like the hardpoints, while the Battloid doesn't. Correct me if I'm wrong, though!
Psychie
Princess Psychie
Yes, you can go to guardian mode no problem without having to dump wing missiles.

Sorry if i'm too scarce with posting, just letting the pros take the wheel and i'm just hoping to learn so i can be better....

Short question: Do Protoculture engines need to be running for the invids to notice them, or do they notice them even when they're turned off? Just wondering if they'd sense the Alphas and Betas when we leave those behind...
Sherwood

Unless Psy has changed things, it is only detectable when active and turned on.
Psychie
Princess Psychie
No, I have not changed anything. The Protoculture power systems are only detectable by the Invid when on.
Silanon

Thanks, both of you - I thought that was the way things work, but wasn't sure. Makes me less worried to leave my Alpha behind... I'll get a post up in a bit.

Sorry for the wait, I just need to find time to crunch numbers for cyclone stats so I know what my actual modifier is.
Psychie
Princess Psychie
Here ya go! Just add these to your own bonuses to get your totals.

Trying to piece things together here, it's Strike +3 for me, right?

Close. First, you don't have MECT Cyclone skill, but I also see that you are at a level 1, when you should be at level 2 now. With each level up you get to pick a new skill, so if you want, you can have the combat training needed to get the most of your Cyclone. If you do not, you only have your own personal combat bonuses, not the ones that are added by the combat training in the smaller mecha. I will say that having the Cyclone MECT will be a handy skill to have, as it adds attack actions and other bonuses to your character that you wouldn't have otherwise.
When you level your character up to 2nd, you add 1d6 to your Hit Points, increase all of your skills by the smaller percentage next to the larger one (for example, Basic Electronics: 46% +5% with this one skill), and advance your HtH bonuses to get the +2 to Parry and +2 to Dodge.
