Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Finally I can hilariously use a bland pun for my name.

Also here's some stuff asked and known:
> No ammo module ever.
> Repair kits can be used on other allied mechs
> If a module or energy cell is not all fully spent in uses or otherwise, it is freely replenished post-mission and in between missions.
> There is a small (10%?) price drop for resold items.
> All y'all probably may want to consider having more than a single weapon, or more than 10 ammunition for a first mission/starting build
> For anyone familiar, Hero Points are like FATE points--non-replenishable, static tokens that can change the result or presumed roll in your favor! Since you gain a skill point at the end of a mission, that can be sacrificed for a hero point. Use them sparingly and use them well; this is a team game :D
> 4 people per mission.
> There's a rule stating 'A hero point can be used to revive or not let your character die in a mission once per combat. This does not stop people from, after being auto revived, and being near death again, spending all their accumulated hero points to go down fighting (or not! Because hero points can be spent in presumption ahead, like in initiative or otherwise!)

Yes :B Assume unless otherwise said. Add that as a rule.

Also please provide a character sheet--I've noticed people are interested but the format or lack of it makes difficulty in daunting details.

Though upon consideration, Reactors are kinda OP-looking as long as you slap good enough thermals.

Therefore I'm considering exchanging 'infinite Energy' for 'Energy Cap Per Turn'. As in, With SPE&MI you can consume up to 15-20 Energy per Turn, F.U.R.N.A.C.E would allow up to 25-30 Energy per Turn v;

EDIT: Change implemented, Kashyyk should consider ;v
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! PILOTS NEEDED!
Post by: Kashyyk on June 02, 2018, 11:58:27 am
I don't think I'm burning anywhere near that much energy per turn, so I should be good.

Also, can a reactor mech recharge energy cell mechs?

Martian stuff now being added into second post.

Like corporation stuff popping up with new releases via the Mil-Net, more Martian will be added as long as you scan various unknowns and new Martian enemies during the game ;v

EDIT: Also, Reactors can be disabled by EMP (Fuel Cells are still safe tho).

Considerations so far:

Adding in Critical Damage;

When you Crit, minimal damage of the weapon is added to damage roll.
I think certain weapons will have base Crit at 10% (Dragunov rifles for sure, probably Spark MEC and Type-13 Plasmarc too), the rest at 0%.
Crit would be governed by Precision skill, unlocked at 5 Accuracy and giving +1% Crit chance per level.

Adding in Gimmicks/Perks:

Chosen at character creation; they would be simple bonuses from a moderately long list. Examples so far:
Bloodthirsty: +5 Damage with all Weapons.
Eagle Eye: +10% to Hit with all Weapons.
Fleet-footed: +10% to Evasion.
Inspector Gadget: Items from 'Modules' section can be used along with Weapons.
Lucky Star: +1 to all Rolls (Hit, Evasion, Crits, Initiative, Damage dealt/received)
Repairman: All Hull Points restoring Repair Kits used by Pilot restore 5 HP more.
Speedster: +5% to Evasion, +0.3 to Initiative.
Sniper: +8% to Criticals with all Weapons.

Fixes and changes:

Increasing Heat from Thermal damage to +4 per hit.
Reducing EMP chance from 40% to 25%.

EMP EVERYTHING with EMP GUNS on EVERYONE :P

I do like them perks, helps characterize our officers better \o/ and hopefully avert this becoming much like one of those Gundam series where most people die despite being protagonists.

"I deeply with MilNet upgrades these computers. They need to be able to scan and synchronize fire!"

At the end of her first salvo, an email was sent to the classified companies her military base was allowed to access with such a request.

I think she wants a computer that allows her to use her scanner and her guns on the same turn.
