I'd side with Kal on that. I don't see any problem with picturing a mech with two pairs of wings to give it added control...

Well, now that I look again, Kal is right, back or shoulders.

NOOOOOO!!!! I MUST BE THE MOST MANUEVERABLE!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I'll open a thread in Rogue's Gallery for when your certain about your characters.

So far we have - Lichtenhart, Jemal, DarwinofMind and Kalanyr. Sollir might be joining you but I've only been told of that in chat and he hasn't posted here yet.

Good to have you guys in!

 

[garyh]

Kal, I really dig the way you named your components. Good stuff.

But darn you and your perfect maneuverabilty!!! Your character is eerily similar to mine, including the Improved Maneuverabilty , and we both have the Delta boots, but you've got those darn double Kestral wings.

 

[Creamsteak]

By the way, The Opposition group will be fighting in South Africa for the first mission. Jarval's group will be fighting in the Martian Deserts near Red City, one of the Capital areas...

Festy's Group may want to outfit for Jungle Combat if they have any questions about what would be good gear to pick out.

Jarval's Group may want to outfit for Urban Combat and Desert Recon.

Hope that helps...

 

[Kalanyr]

Your character is eerily similar to mine, including the Improved Maneuverabilty , and we both have the Delta boots, but you've got those darn double Kestral wings.

I noticed when I was looking through how similar they were. If it makes you feel better I have the ranged combat capability of a snail.

 

[Jemal]

Well, I can't post my actual character until we've decided meda/no meda. (I'll be fast/mecha ace if no meda, or charismatic/wing captain if meda). Either way though, here's my mecha. (2 structural options, depending on whether we're going medabot or not)

EITHER: Large Neovulcanium Mecha with Basic Transform and Join with medabot
OR
Large Durralloy mecha with Basic Transform and Chameleon Coating: 8000 BP

Thanks!! That does make me feel better!!

 

[Kalanyr]

So far we seem to have 3 people willing to go MetaBot (Lichtenhart,myself and Jemal), so who designs the MetaBot ? I can think of a few different builds depending on how many mechas we have.

As it stands the following number of mecha's yield this many build points:
3 Mechas 37320
4 Mechas 49760
5 Mechas 62200
6 Mechas 74640

 

[Jemal]

Actually, the polyhedron says 80% of the total combined build points (15,500 BP X .8 = 12,400 BP per mecha.)
Table should be like this:
3 Mechas = 37,200 BP
4 Mechas = 49,600 BP
5 Mechas = 62,000 BP
6 Mechas = 74,400 BP
(Sorry it lowers the Bp, but I'm a stickler for rules even when I'm not DMing)

As to Who designs it, Why doesn't EVERYONE who will be part of it make one, and then we'll choose one as the 'basic' bot, and all make suggestions as to what we should change on it. (Remember, it doesn't have to have ANYTHING in common with any of the bots who make it up, so we can make completely different concepts based on doing other stuff with the smaller bots.)

The only thing we HAVE to have is 1 cockpit (2 spaces) for the pilot, and an aditional 1 space co-pilot Cockpit for each other pilot.
As the wingcaptain, I'll be in one of the secondary cockpits, so that I can use my leadership skills to best ability directing you guys.

BTW, I know the polyhedron says a co-pilot cockpit takes 3 spaces, but when the other group was talking about this, the DM said to change it to 1 space cuz it makes more sense.


First things first, though. We have to decide WHO will be in on the Medabot. We already have the prerequisite 3, but Garyh, and darwinofmind haven't responded about it yet, and we're not sure who's going to be the 6th person.

I'ld suggest that the 3 of us make a medabot (If they wanna join in, we can add-on the extra BP.
OR, they can make a medabot of their own so we'ld have 2 medabots.
OR they could leave theirs as normal mechs to back up the big guy, or cover, or sneak around where bigger mechs couldn't go, etc.

IT's up to them, but we've got enough to start it allready.
37,200BP and it has to be gargantuan sized.
