Hey steve, i feel somewhat undervalued and too poor to fund all my tinkering, could i get an extra token or two for being a competant surgeon and also going on a daring rescue mission to recover Jack from the evil clutches of his own highly electrified stupidity?))

attempt to get some tokens from steve, Head over to the armory while maurice arranges things and ask about how much my weapon hardpoint will cost, also ask about a heavy variant for use on a mining exosuit or mobility battlrsuit capable of being mounted on the underside of an arm or on an armature that allows it to fire over the shoulder and be retracted to sit flush with the back when not in use. (See seans auxiliary suit picture)
((Oh and if possible get the firing mode selector integrated into the regulator circuit then use the spare circuitry for another overcharger.))

After questioning AM on hardpoints pay her to build my heavy pulsed laser from the 3 gauss rifles and 2 of the laser rifles in my footlocker, keep all leftover materials.
((speaking of hardpoints, up to what STR requirement for weapons can mine accomodate and if i make another heavier reinforced version would that increase its psuedo-str score?))

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

(( Daaamn, that's much more expensive than I expected. Like, 5-7 more than expected. And I actually meant integrating the mining laser that sits in my locker, the one I looted on sharkmist mission.

Also, damn you for mentioning buying an avatar of war. I had begun considering it, but decided against it because... Emotional attachment?
Basically, when I gave my battlesuit a name, it was to personalize it, to make it feel more unique. That worked out so well that I would now feel kinda 'guilty' for trading him in simply to gain more power. Although if I could sell it to another player, I think I'd be more ok with that, cause then he would at least still 'exist' withing the game. Not sure if anyone is even capable of buying him right now though.
I also would have to think of another name, but I really like the name 'Gilgamesh' for some reason. Another thing is the fact that an Avatar is good, very good at combat, but not so much at... everything else really. Though seeing how we'll probably be doing a lot more combat than before, that might balance itself out. And if I already had trouble going into corridors, well that's not gonna improve by buying an AoW huh? (By the way, how big is that thing? I believe it should be around 3 meters, right? Because this says 5-6 meters)
And the whole 'semi-permanently entombed in a casket of CFC's with the majority of their nervous system slaved to the suit's systems' rings kinda wrong to me, I always liked the idea of being able to move out of the suit and shake hands with someone or something. Hmm.

So basically, it means that the big argument pro is in terms of power/gameplay, while most arguments against are roleplaying in nature.

Anyone have an opinion on this? Cause I'm really at a loss here.))


Did some quick digging:
Look up Avatar of War variants. Also, check the space inside the cockpit of a battlesuit - what can its operator wear (i.e., is it so small and crammed that only skin-tight clothes can be worn, or is there enough space for a Mk-something suit, for example)?
Avatar and battle suit cockpits are fairly tight, not skin tight or anything but as tight as a fighter jet's cockpit or so. You wouldn't be able to get a MK III's rockets in there, for instance,but you could certainly wear a MK II or something. Although, in the case of the avatar you'd have to get it modified with ports to allow all those nerve ports.
As per Types of Avatars, that depends on what you're looking for when you mean "Type". See there are two ways an Avatar can vary, the first being it's body type and the second being it's equipment and armaments. We'll start with body type.
There's the standard humanoid, The brawler type, the Dexterity type, the endurance/platform type and the speed type.



Actions (numbered for convenience):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


((Would anyone be interested in buying Gilgamesh? Price negotiable, and paying part now and part after your next mission is agreeable.
It's a Mobility Battlesuit with Cameyes integrated. If you want I could give a list of the stuff that comes with this suit, including but not limited to Electrified Surface Defence System, built-in kinetic amps, Emergency Ejection Pod and others.))

Begin a thirteen-part tinker project involving live hamsters and alien crystals, banking on synthflesh being immune or at least more resistant than my fellows to being gassed.

Decompensators
Cheapest: 1/3 chance to prevent overshoots. Do so by simply stopping you from acting.
second Cheapest: 1/3 chance to reduce your overshoot to a number beween 3-5 instead.
second most expensive: 1/3 chance to prevent overshoots by bringing roll down to 5 
Most expensive: always prevent overshoots by bringing the total down to 5.

Token cost in order: 5,7,10,20.
((One question as to the decomps- on the first three, I noticed that the third says 'bring your roll down to five'. Does that refer to the roll itself or the total modified roll?))

Okay, a new, relatively simple tinker thing. How easy would it be to place a gauss rifle and a laser rifle into the same weapon, as in the laser above the gauss rifle, with the gauss rifle generator powering them both?

It's the moment you've all been (in some cases angrily) waiting for:

Spoiler: HALLELUJAH (click to show/hide)

So:

1. Curious why I kept saying "Okay guys, keep in nonlethal, don't escalate it, come on guys we're all friends here?" No, it wasn't just Faith being uselessly soft again! It was because those were our new BFFs. And then Stacy killed them. Killed them all.
2. Well you see Lyra, sometimes Faith has to ruthlessly lie to you to protect you and everyone else from the truth. Technically "because they're all idiots" or similar was close to the truth, though!
3. These go back a lot further than I thought. Given the number of PMs PW probably gets, I don't think we're ever going to get the remainder. On the bright side, it doesn't particularly seem to need it; I had two more posts that I didn't bother to include because they weren't interesting and you could get the context anyway. I included a few notes, but even those weren't completely necessary.

Give one token to Jim, one token to Flint. Make sure Zephyris gets debriefed. (No, I'm not going to steal them. But could you do it please? Five tokens if she doesn't deserve the full ten.)  (Not sure if you included that part, but it should negate the two tokens, and I'm sure they'd like to get their tokens back.)

A question for Piecewise: How would mission 11 be planed differently if Faith did not volunteer at the last moment? Or if it did actually turn out to be all-newbie.


Quote from: Piecewise
Also, I don't have prices for all that. Either use the list provided or give me an idea of what you want; because honestly some of that stuff gets made up specifically for you when someone asks so it's not like I have a giant list here I can just copy paste from.

Faith can post what she's got, then I'll post my side.

Sure, you have it. It's in the hanger. So is the rocket bike. I don't have it in your inventories because, well, you're not exactly holding it in your pocket and didn't exactly buy it.
Well, I remember it getting asked several times by different people who got a reasonable if incomplete listing.
   Morul (I think it was Morul) asked at some point for a stealth apparatus, and got a listing. After that he bought the cheapest one and tried to play a prank on Bishop, but was promptly spotted by him.
   And then multiple people, at the very least Faith, Milno, and several others asked for some form of listing that included Civic Defenders Longcoat and higher suits.

And it'd be a shame to make up new stuff every time somebody asks for it. And I am pretty sure that those listings are enough for my purposes. Maybe somebody (A player who is better at remembering where it was and using a search engine/show posts. I mean, you probably remember it better if it happened to your character.) could find that if you can't?

That'd be great, and what I've been clamoring for ever since Faith got her own posting space.

Could you put them, if not in our inventories then somewhere else, so they don't get forgotten about? At least by you if not by players, because you get very confused when we bring out stuff like that.

what Faith whispered to Lyra when Lyra confronted Faith in the infirmary:
"Because I'm the only medic, and one of the only people we have, that he's convinced isn't incompetent."

((and from my perspective, it was a half-truth. you simply didn't mention certain things. I knew you weren't mentioning them, but I had also gotten what information I needed. I didn't need more, so I let you have most of your secrecy at that point.))

See if I can exchange my kinetic amp for a Microwave Psychokinetic Amplifier, since they both cost the same and I have not used my kinetic amp. If I can do so, find out who can implant it into my head.
