Hey Bd, will it be possible in this to get NPC engineers to do weapon mods for me? They're best suited to it anyway.

Depends. Simple modifications which are generally approved attachments to a weapon are okay, but any kind of mod working with the fine tuning of any of the internal parts is strictly forbidden. You have to keep in mind that most people view technology in sort of a superstitious way, and they see modifying items without the proper rites and incantations poses a risk of "upsetting the machine spirits." You guys are from a forge world, so you're very likely to know more about how to "properly please a machine spirit" (Such as performing the rite of unjamming, or knowing the proper holy oils needed to keep the machine spirit inside of your gun happy). Any kind of modifications that aren't simple attachments is again, forbidden. They don't want the troops messing up their items or disturbing machine spirits, even if it does seem beneficial. If you want anything beyond a simple weapon modification, you'll have to keep it hidden, and if they find out you did it you'll be in A LOT of trouble for messing with the gear that was given to you.

Also, I'd still very much like people to link their character sheet, and for the people who haven't fully finished theirs to get around to doing it. Also, I'd like to note you guys really don't know WHAT you'll be doing in this campaign. Sure, you'll be drop troops but it's not like every battle is going to revolve around you dropping in from above.

I'm pretty sure there are already various IRC channels that members of the forum go to.

You're not real MadMalkavian, you're a figment of your own imagination, which in turn is a figment of my own imagination. THIS ISN'T REAL.

I'd be interested if TopHat can't do it.

If it was separate pieces then the full armor wouldn't just have a flat AP rating, and would have varying AP depending on what place it was protecting.

He should very well get reparations, considering he was bombed and attacked multiple times and various alliance members had to send their own money and troops in the event he didn't stop.

Yes, those points help 5/6ths of the squad, which seems to be a clear majority and a large benefit to the entire squad as a whole. Also, trading your armor may or may not get you into trouble, as different regiments have different rules regarding uniforms and equipment and the Department of Munitorium probably wouldn't appreciate the armor you were specifically given to be traded through illegal means.
