what if, what if i put ALICE system sticker on destroy unicorn gundam, will my kit get NT-D+ALICE skillz?

or what if i kitbash IBO suit into SEED suit, do i get nano armor and PS armor?

>>15440456
You could always find a clever way to get rid of the heat without sacrificing parts of your Gunpla. Were there any suits that had heatsinks or a head dump system?

Hell, if you're committed enough, you could kitbash in some parts from plamoo rockets as those engines use their own fuel to keep the system cool.

Made a no grade rx78's beam rifle nozzle a funnel
It now conjures up funnels from stray plavsky particles on the field instead of useless beam rifle parts

>>15440524
F91? Couldn't that vent heat?

My local hobby shop sells tank models and such alongside gunpla.

Once the owner placed some 1/35 tank models into the system's bot list, and we ran a continuous survival run with those bots. After like 30 minutes of constant swarming and never ending waves of tanks, I was the last one standing with like half of my gunpla falling apart.
At one point I lose my beam rifle to a fucking AP round and grabbed the gun from a downed tank.
At first I was thinking of using it as a melee weapon, what with the length being perfect and all, but then the gun went off on its own. It was still functional. So I got behind one of the wrecksand quickly looked for some shells. Grabbed a shell, loaded it into the gun, roughly pointed the gun at a target, did some manual control to manually fire off the gun. The gun fired off.
The gun tore the entire right arm of my gunpla and the sudden movement broke the ankle joints with its recoil and I got swarmed while down on the ground by the tanks . Game over.

That gave me the idea of using a tank plamo's gun as a weapon and to be honest, once you get the targetting system tuned and all, it works pretty damn well.
Only downside is the need to carry shells into battle and you can't carry too much of em if you want decent speed. I usually bring about 5, though a good hit on the HE shell you're carrying will fuck you up.

Do like the Celestial Sphere Tryhards did and just slap GN Drives on it. Congrats, now you have Trans-Am and a infinite supply of plavsky particles and plavsky shenanigans/control.

Seriously, GN Drives are broken in every single setting they appear.

>>15441255
I prefer it. Solid rounds are so much more satisfying when they hit, and the recoil makes the whole battle feel grittier.

I expected nothing good to come out of this and I was moderately surprised. I just really like SD's, they've been pushed too much into girly cute mechs lately.

>what if, what if i put ALICE system sticker on destroy unicorn gundam, will my kit get NT-D+ALICE skillz?
Nope, the ALICE effects are tied to the EX-S's cock-pit and is Nerfed by only fuctioning when the suit has taken 50% damage and only fuctions at a hard level CPU. ALICE also counts as a person when it comes to 2v2s and 3v3s.
>or what if i kitbash IBO suit into SEED suit, do i get nano armor and PS armor?
Yeah, but Phase shift can be over powered and waited out and the nano armor can be burned off by flamethrowers and Super Napalm. Also using most SEED suits forces you to use batteries, which suck when it comes to run time.
>>15441819
>>15441833

You can use nukes again thanks to the IBO update, they have a smaller instakill radius but its nice as fuck for getting rid of nano armor. WMDs naturally counter IBO suits.

This is why I'll never post about my unit. It's powerful enough to be tournament worthy but at the same time it was built with my love of gunpla and I'd rather it remain obscure then be picked apart by you vultures.

>>15441649
You can easily convert any space only gunpla into your own "Type J". Just plan for detchable legs and you're good to go. Same principle as "Rick" version of ground MS, really.

To add-on to you point, another legal thing from AC is the PX system. the PX system boosts and optimizes you performance for 90 seconds, its basically a free A/V or ZERO system that doesn't fuck up your machine or mind afterwards (unless you put it into overdrive, but overdrive is on par with the pre-nerf trans-am)

>World Champs is 3v3 only

>No single terrain type tournaments
RIP Aquatics, forces everyone to play a balanced build instead of specializing for space, low and high gravity etc, there is almost no point to using artillery type weapons because you have to waste like 5 shot feeling out the gravity
>new kits are always op
IBO kits have beam coating for no additional weight, GN drives instantly became the most broken shit BEFORE everyone started twin linking them only recent nerfs in the battle systems pulled them back
>no checking system for people who use scripts to run funnels
its supposed to be hard to control so they aren't broken but you have to jump through so many hoops to get a judge to check them because it involves (in most cases) physically deconstructing the gunpla which takes too long in a timed tournament, i mean sure your game gets fixed in post but you played against worse players afterwards because of how tournament rankings work so getting to the next day is that much harder

Bitch please. My Tallgeese III would be capable of handing the GN Drive and more. Hence why I gave it the Twin Drive System and Quanta System. Even turn its Mega Beam Cannon into a Satellite Cannon. Turn its Heat Rod into a GN Heat Rod. Decided to give it several bits while I was at it. Since it still had room for improvements, I decided to install a hybrid NT-D/Marute system into it. When activated, its glows red and reveals its 6 eyed Gundam face.

GN drives, zero system, and ntd on a God gundam.

>>15445079
>>15445047
Nano-laminate Armor just a inferior GN Composite Armor and PSA. Unlike the GN Composite Armor which is protect by a GN Field or the PSA that completely neglects ordinary physical attacks, the NLA will eventually wear itself out after taking continuous damage. A powerful enough beam/impact would easily be capable of overwhelming it.

Remember when that retard with the Barbatos Lupus Rex boosting about its LMA? It ran into a 1v3 situation against the opposing team during the semi-finals. Resulting in its limbs easily being severed by the opposing team's GN Spear, Heat Axe and Sonic Sword.

Why is no one using the Black Hole Engines? It is easily the best power source for your gunpla. Granted it is difficult to tune and any mistake would result in a Vanishing Trooper incident taking out every gunpla in the arena including your own during the competition. Decided to include 2 Black Hole Engines into my Gundam.

>>15445118
Zero simulates possible futures and makestrel the pilot aware. Possibly making the pilot insane.

NT-D detects new types, over rides funnels, and stresses the brain too much.

It would be the minute Wonder Gundam. As the pilot would probably die trying to use both while under trans am.

>>15445156

>Gundam

Anon...

>>15445156
It's easier to get a 00, Raiser or Quanta than it is to find one of those, and unless you've got a degree you're not tuning it to run better than a TDS.
The Turn A's DHGCP is a good middle ground, though.

>ITT: nobody knows how gunpla battle lore works
Every fucking time, you guys make a roleplay thread about this and fail miserably.
Your kit is only a shell of what it is in the Gundam universe, you don't get a power up by snapshitting a unicorn NTD with GN drives glued onto it. Beating some kid's snap built *insert flashy Gundam you don't like* with a masterfully built max spec "underdog" GM doesn't mean you have more skills as a fighter. All the fancy systems and super modes would most likely require some programming and the kit actually being well made to actually work. Nukes? Funnels? Wmd? Colony-wiping cannons? Gimmicky armor and force fields? They all mean jack shit out of the box, enjoy pretending to be good with these fancy squirt guns.
The specs are based on build quality instead of lore, REMEMBER?
>anons' power fantasy literally doesn't work because it actually requires them to git gud

>>15441853
honestly most Gunpla Clubs I've played at have it set up so Space Only units count as Flying units when playing in a non-Space map(same for the handful of aquatic MS & MA that aren't amphibious), although they generally do put a slight penalty for such cases(generally a hit to either acceleration or maneuverability)

>>15443301
Nether Gundam is surprisingly strong all things considered, especially when compared to many of the other MS in it's default Gunpla Tier

>>15443771
reminds me of the havoc that happened when one of the Gunpla Clubs I went to had a special MSIA event, those figures are near invincible on any damage setting below A

>>15445156
probably because most tournaments ban non-Gundam kits

>>15445234
Yeah, a lot of this shit seemed to be theory posting and minmaxing, and most of that just is piling on scary MC gundam shit haphazardly without taking in to account EN limits and the fact that if the kit isn't secured and programmed properly it will shatter the second it fires its GN Twin Buster Zero Satellite Big Zam Recarl Laser Cannon

>>15445349

This. It took me AGES of min-maxing and spec testing to get an I-Field Generator to work with my Re-Gelg and even then I was stuck with mostly solid state weaponry.

>>15445234

Sounds like you got your ass kicked by a Twin Drive equipped Unicorn sporting dragoons. Build better you fag.

>>15445349
I can understand that and even have a story.
When I first started trying to create a fused super mode it blew the legs off my gunpla. No joke, they literally blew up. A temporary fix of using the Stargazer's legs turned out to be a more permanent solution (I'm in the middle of modifying them) since they're able to store and transfer energy more efficiently than most standard legs.

>>15445234
To be fair, fucking Try basically proved that GN Drives and Arista fragments apparently are the only way to constantly toss out crazy shit without "muh particles are running out"

>>15445636
Try also introduced the limited particle in the first place.

Waiting for the Mobile Armor League.

>>15445047
>relying purely on beams in the first place
Put in a railgun.

Or just use one of those anti-ship swords from the SEED kits if you're into melee.
Those things plow through GN fields, PS, and can sufficiently fuck up Nanolaminate armor(Provided you built the sword well) with a good hit thanks to the stealth buff they gave to the antiship swords(Bonus damage against ship armor, and it turns out that Nanolaminate has elements of ship armor in it so....)
Sure they aren't really worth the extra weight, but man, on a melee specialised unit the anti-ship swords are worth it.

>>15445133
>nah fuck dat nerf daisleif
Pfft you're crazy dainsleifs are perfect weapons that have actual drawbacks one of them being that they only have one round in them and most likely no one will make there teammate a reload bitch so you're most likely good

Shit wrong reply was meant for
>>15445109

>>15445118
>stable particle output
That reminds me.

The IBO patch made something very useful and easy to abuse.
Physical based weapons.
Those don't take as much particles to use, and some don't even use particles at all.

I've seen this guy who basically made a tiny but functional bolt action rifle for his gunpla. Every shot hits hard and he barely uses any particle for it.

>>15445785
Giving sturmfausts tandem warheads is pretty effective too. They'll punch through just about anything, especially if you use the tip of a thin nail for the end.
Just make sure you don't miss, I gave myself a bad gash with one when I hipfired it.

Our local Meta is speed and light armor, we're all Tallgeese and Flag Fighters for the most part, save one motherfucker with a Guntank II.

This asshole made it a point to take out the Guntank first thing. He rained bullets on it, and then opened his comms for us all to hear this shit.

>SMART CORE ACTIVATED

It's a fucking aimbot. I'm not even shitting you, he wrecked all of our shit and laughed when it was over. He crashed our free for all and we're all out HGs. The fuck do we do?!

>>15446219
Unless your local club has big, all-out battles or you have some friends willing to be long range support with that Dendrobium after you detach, you're probably not going to be able to do either. You're probably better off just setting up one, general purpose loadout that can purge whatever external equipment is useless in the battlefield you get. Some water jet things on the legs, a few missile launchers and such here and there, that kind of thing.
>>15446264
If you're really sure that it's an aimbot, you're best off calling the law on his ass. Don't get one yourself to counter-aimbot him, you'll just get into a who-can-hack-harder contest that you'll both lose when you get caught.
Let the store owner know either way though.

Copyright infringement is a serious problem. Just chuck an email over to EA's and Bandai's lawyers with some basic details, a copy of the battle log# and some footage of the battle then wait and see how long it is before that player receives a C&D

>>15446264
Even an aim bot would have trouble with funnel spam if you had a couple people gang up on him.
Otherwise, tighten up your defenses if you someone who understands how to work plavsky it's not that difficult to create a barrier, even on units that don't traditionally come with that type of equipment.

He is just using the Jesus System created by legendary gunpla builder Kira Yamato. The Jesus System was released to the public like 6 days ago. Give it time, they will nerf it.

>>15446264

And that requires either a autodetection via the sensors or one manually designating a target for that to work.

Try camo.

I'd personally just go for a stealth sniper build and pick him off. Since you guys have a mobility meta a stealth mobile sniper shouldn't be too hard.

>save one motherfucker with a Guntank II.
I like him already

Who would the smashfags of gunpla battle be? It would have to be people who only use UC kits right?

Guys I need help. This guy is dominating the competition with his GN Destiny Strike Gundam equipped with the Twin Drive System, Quanta System, Variable Phase Shift Armor, GN Field, I-Field, Trans-AM, Voiture Lumiere Propulsion System and Zero System. Its Beam Cannon is replaced with a Satellite Cannon and its Anti-Ship Sword is replaced with a GN Buster Sword.

Its far too agile and fast to hit. And even if I managed to hit it, it would be completely negated by its defenses. Its GN Field and I-Field combo make beam attacks impossible. Its VPSA make physical attacks impossible. Even if I managed to hit it and bypass one of its defenses, it will have another layer of defense underneath it. Never mind the fact that it could activate both Trans-AM and Zero System and become the physical gunpla incarnation of a God of War.

Anyone got any advice?

I'd like to get into the Hobby, so I've been looking at different kits. Yea or Nay?

>>15446885
Just focus on surviving. Have you last longer than 3 minutes against him?

If you're actually running the updated version he should run out of particles in about 3 minutes thanks to all the passive particle drain from those stuff.
If he didn't tune those things for maximum efficiency, he would last an even shorter time.

>>15446978
Hence why he TDS it. Energy drain isn't even a problem for him with all those passives active.

>>15446984
>Implying that TDS is a goto for infinite particle
Don't be one of the dumbasses thst actually believes Celestial Sphere managed to bypass the particle limit, especially not with the patch vouple of months back. TDS helps in particle generation, but it still ain't enough to run all that shit simultaneously.
Celestial Sphere and their GN fuckery ain't even running half of what he is running, and we're not counting their rumored 99% particle efficiency. World level players run gunpla with particle efficiency at that level, the 85-99% range iirc.
But remember, random shitters can't tune efficiency to that level, for now just survive more than 3 minutes. 3 minutes is the max a gunpla can go with all that shit even with 99% efficiency.

Also, a simple test is to land a huge hit on him. Check if his gunpla briefly shuts down after receiving the hit, chances are he is running a jumpstart unit inside for a fast reboot when he runs out of particles. If he's rebooted using that, he'll back off to recharge for a bit, thats your chance.

>>15442530
Speaking of the PX system why does no one use Aesculapius and Burnlapius? They're fantastic, not to mention if you have some skills you can make the Burnlapius look like a modified Hygoog, which can put your oponent off balance.

It's what I do if I'm somewhere fighting I haven't fought before, no one thinks the guy launching in a Hygoog in space is going to be able to do much, but then it flails it's arms about and turns into a Gundam and they don't know how to react. So much from the AC goes over looked really aside from the obvious shit.

>>15442582
Local Hobby store had this one guy who'd come in with customized balls using various TIE fighter kit parts from those model kits, with the ball as the core to keep it Gunpla tourney legal, and sometimes other gunpla parts as well depending on, and he was surprisingly good with them. Fast as fuck, I mean yeah if you hit him he was toast, but he did pretty well. Eventually he wised up, painted one red, and slapped a I-field on there and went for the Imperial Guard interceptor thing.

Don't know what happened to that crazy fuck, or why he did it, was it just to have fun, or was he that good and he did it to keep it interesting.

>>15446264
Git gud.

Find a way to make a Vortex sheild from ion, if he's like most legion mains are in the actual game he'll keep firing.

Or he'll be the 1% that waits until you drop it or just derp out and hold it up the whole time and fuck ya up either or.

Is it a common thing for venues to have their own CHAR? We've got a guy who fancies himself an ace pilot and comes in wearing a full helmet, mask, and goggle set-up and only uses either support or transformable units. He's no joke though; his star unit is this unholy hybrid between a Skygrasper and Moebius Zero and it hits Macross levels of speed and attack power.

>>15447196
It is a pretty common thing.

I occasionally go across the country for some stuff the local hobby shops are running(Kind of sucks when you are a regular patron, but hey, he pays me part-time salary for that), like building workshops for kids and such. One year there was this masked guy who participated in the workshop and helped out.
He was a weird guy, but he alone manned the Gunpla Battle area(Which had like 5 7-machine clusters of the Gunpla Battle machine and up to 30 kids were there at any moment) and taught the kids how to play and all. By the end of the day the kids were putting up good fights against hard difficulty bots despite losing, pretty good for newbies if you ask me.
The guy never appeared for the subsequent years though, I wanted to have a fight with him but we didn't have the time. I could have swore his voice sounded very familiar though.

>>15447196
>>15447287
I've been a "Char" several times at different events. For anything larger than a regional tournament we actually get paid and supplied with the costume, backstory and gunpla. For the smaller tournaments (that aren't in the middle of nowhere) there tends to be one or two of us walking around to see if there's already a Char there, if there isn't someone will usually chuck a message on our group to see if anyone else wants the role before excusing themselves and swapping into a costume.

Some people do it for the women (seriously, chicks love the mask), others do it for the challenge, but I do it for the kids. It's fun to be the bad guy that ends up being defeated by the potential future world champions.

He can't move fast, not in that thing. However, he's a whiz kid with barrage tactics and Armor Plating. Fucker can make Pla-Plate survive a lot of hits.

>>15447002
Are you retarded? GN Drives, Hyper-Deuterion Engines, 2x Ahab Reactors and DHGCP can all run it effectively. You must be fighting retards using batteries if you actually believe this.

I'm working on a Victory era G-Fighter. It's got the twin Minovsky drives from the V2 and soon I'll add a frontal barrier like the Reinforce Jr. had, except with a spear mode. It also can "open get" with the back segment basically controlling like a funnel or bit.

I'm trying to make an AGE-2 wear that has Dainsleif launchers in the binders. Thinking of using the Dark Hound as a base so I can use the anchors to immobilize a gunpla before hitting them with it. I feel like I'm lacking something though, something that really pulls it together. Any ideas?

>>15448860

You gonna jury-rig a Flash System in there or use the Bawoo method?

>>15448886

I'd recommend looking up the game-exclusive wears. Some of them are just wacky enough to be what you're looking for.

>>15448886
AGE-2 is more about mobility and Dark Hound is totally focused on close range rushdown. I'd recommend using Artimes as a base since that'll fit the long range and probably toss in bits loaded with electrified wires or something as your method to keep them in place.

>>15448894
More like the Bawoo, it's more fun to design something in line with the setting technology.

What are your thoughts on 'duct tape' armor? By that I mean wrapping mech limbs in duct tape to make layers of ablative armor. Interesting idea or the ultimate 'cheap loser' method of armoring up a gunpla?

I tried it on an old GM and it's harder to apply than it looks, since you need to wrap the limbs carefully without clogging or blocking the articulations. And yes, it look as stupid as those pics you see on stupid sites like IMGUR: like a dumb silver mummy gunpla!

>>15447329
A question, do you actually have to get a license or be registered to actually do the Char thing?
I assume the tourney organisers have a list of local Chars.

Anyway, I had the honor of being the opponent of one of the Chars for the opening match for one of the local tourneys. Guy was pretty good.

>>15449382
You get scouted out by tournament organisers and other Chars. Its a pretty simple process but at the same time it helps keep the community more close knit. Honestly though, we have enough Chars at the moment so unless someone is planning on retiring or you live in the middle of nowhere, you probably won't become one.

>>15447196
My dad was actually a char. During my birthdays after unwrapping my presents he'd leave the room then come back as "char"
Then we'd fight using the gunpla I built from the last birthday. He'd shout out things like "show me how much more passionate you've grown since we last fought!"

By the time I was 12 I sorta knew it was dad. After I finally beat him he took off the mask and revealed himself to me and gave me a PG RX78. Told me to blame it on the fortune of my birth.

I really miss you dad.

>>15449436
Nah, just asking out of interest.

I normally get asked to do the opening match when I ain't a participant. I'm no Char but the audience likes my battles so it doesn't really matter for me.

I'm above average at best, a bit of connections to some of the organisers thanks to my experience in helping out at local workshops landed me with the opening match fighter thing, thats good enough for me anyway.

>Power source
Using batteries is not all that bad.
I use them on gunpla with lots of physical weapons that don't take much power, for instance.
In some cases the completely negligible weight of the batteries outweights the greater power output of the other sources.
The reduction in weight is surprisingly useful at times.

And as I said, in some cases.
Like ground-only fights where the anti-gravity property is more than likely to get you disqualified.
Besides, inertia. Extra mass means extra inertia.
That can be easily replicated with thrusters anyway, maintaining 1:1 thrust/weight ratio is easy with the right code and those with dextrous fingers can manually reach that.

Surprise surprise, its in the official list of allowed modes of tourneys.

They just don't run it normally because of what you mentioned, but certain tourneys run some of these modes, often because they are running a themed tourney.

Take a read over the 300 page official tournament ruleset for once, you'll find surprising things.

Think of the best combination you can think of that comes out to something that isn't a mobile suit but is still made of official gunpla. Basically I want ideas for the best tank/fighter plane I could theoretically make to compliment a team.

Hard mode: no Ball parts.

>>15449772
Skygrasper with custom packs.

>>15449670
Hm, so what I'm thinking is like, use the RX-78-2 as the base, swapping out anything that I can with Shining Gundam parts (especially the hands, definitely the hands).

Maybe add some thrusters from the ZZ Gundam, hell, maybe even the backpack, but replacing the Hyper Beam Sabers with the RX-78-2's normal Beam Sabers, which also double as Beam Javelins, which makes me hard as fuck.

Just for the hell of it, let's also add the Shining Gundam's Beam Sabers, I'll be a Unicorn without the NT-D. Not sure if I want to use the ZZ's Double Beam Rifle, or the RX-78-2's Beam Rifle.

... when in doubt, use the smaller gun. BAUVA*XBR-M-79-07G it is.

As for shields, I was thinking of putting on the ZZ's Wing Shields over the Shining Gundam's armguards.

Now, the bigger question is, how could I possibly fit the Super Mode onto the RX-78-2's frame? Or do I just use the Shining Gundam as the base...?

>>15449750
Wouldn't that be too heavy to use?

>>15449750
Huh, I recognize those guns on the sides >>15442680

You could mount the Large Beam Sabres on the forearms in place of the Shining Shot, they double as beam guns and you could supercharge them into a bigger Shining Finger Sword. I would drop the 78's beam rifle if I did that, and just make it a melee suit with some elbow blades and thruster shields like the Hazels have.

how to mod a zeon aquatic suit to be good on land and in space?

>>15450527
Shoulders open, armguards expand out, faceplate opens, those thingies on the legs pop out, and- Oh, the Core Lander is a part of the Shining Gundam's Super Mode.

Yeah, I'll have to use the Shining Gundam as the base. You are right, though, the ZZ's Hyper Beam Sabers can pretty much do the heavy lifting, in terms of ranged attacks and melee, though I'm iffy on how well they'll charge on the forearms. Might want to drop the ZZ's backpack, if I wanna run light.

... damn, now it's got Unicorn-style Beam Sabers. Still, a fast mobile suit with both melee and ranged weapons, without having to swap hands around? That's pretty good. Hell, if I wanted to, I could even stab people four times, at the SAME TIME. What value!

>>15449457
You got too real, man. Way too real. Good job. ;_;

I couldn't give you many tips for land combat, besides reinforcing and coating the joints for added flexibility. For space combat, modifying the legs with thrusters and making them fold up for a pseudo-Zeong mode will be sure to take people off guard.

>>15451175
Work on arm speed and articulation for land combat so you can literally go ape.

Though despite what some people will have you believe, aquatic MS actually can do just fine out of the water. Helps if you customize it to minimize the chance of overheating.

Gonna warn you now: Biosensor builds let you go Anime as fuck but only for about 1 minute and only after a incredibly long particle build period. You can offset it by using the particle yield of your downed teammates in 3v3 but it's not too useful in singles.

I just strapped the arms onto a Gusion. The thing is fucking SAVAGE in short range with a Gusions armor and thrusters, but you better and the fight fast. It guzzles boost fuel like my step dad guzzles coolers, and once you're out, that fat frog is a sitting duck

>>15455962
>the power drain of GN could feed a lot of beams, or other secondaries.
Unless you're using a mostly physical weapon setup.

>>15455297
What in the god damn is this beautiful monstrosity?

>>15455987
>Using physical weapons when you can beam spam
Do people actually do this?

>>15455988
Looks like a MS-12 Gigan given legs.

>>15455992
>beamspam
I used to beamspam as well.
About 2 years back before they implemented the whole power drain and power source thing, I met someone that ran a modified Stargazer. All my weapons did nothing against it since the Stargazer could just capture the beams, it flew up to me and sliced me to bits with the captured beams and the beam sabers it had.

I run a mixed setup nowadays, I shift to a mostly physical or beam setup based on the situation.

Anyone tried putting warhammer (40k) minis on the battle area or one of their titans? trying to imagine what an orkified gundam would look like

>>15456050
It doesn't take. Far as I've seen, the material used by Bandai is the only thing that works with Plavsky particles. Chances are someone's working on a conversion for other series, though I can see why...

>Green Tide running roughshod over Strike Freedom

>>15455962
but Nanolaminate Armor can't withstand my SHINING FINGER

... Still, I can't imagine not being able to use my Beam Sabers. Like, I could probably do with just punching the enemy mobile suit, but spacing is everything in battle!

I wonder what sort of beam weapon you'd need to punch through Nano-Laminate Armor.

>>15450103
>B-Baka!

>>15456797

Actually, concentrated heat weaponry/high Minovsky density beams will rip right through it. NLA works like Phase Shift, spreading and splitting the beam's energy and heat across itself to weaken the attack and limit damage. However, this is only truly effective for singular attacks of average particle yield. Any sustained/high yield beam will still have enough power to make it through.

>>15456993
Thats where you're wrong kiddo. Nano Lam absorbs the particle energy from the beam to strengthen its atomic bonds while conducting electromagnetic eddie currents to disperse he beam over its surface. It actually gets STRONGER from particle beams. If you want to deal with NLA you need something like a heat axe that can burn away the NLA without triggering its weird properties. Personally I prefer good old fashioned incendiary missiles for dealing with IBO mechs, melts through em like butter.

>>15455962
The only time a GN-Drive user would have energy drain issues if they spam GN Field and Trans-AM.

>>15457090
You fucking retarded bro?!

>>15457131
>Get a load of this zeek

>>15456993
>>15457090
So... a Shining Finger would be good for dealing with those suckers, right?

Might as well go full Gundam Fight with that, though, and Shining Finger the head.

Don't suppose I could make a Strike Gundam and deal with the particle limits by having new backpacks fly onto me ?

>>15457171

Considering the sheer heat factor in your hand, I'd say you're good to go.

>>15457180
Might as well get an Impulse, or, hell, Perfect Strike.

Or you could try something crazy like that one kid who put some crazy-ass backpack on his.

>>15457235
>>15457171
Combining Shining Finger with Destiny's palm cannon works really well too.

If you tune them right, the Shining Finger can fuck up the NLA and the palm cannon will do the rest of the job.

>>15457180
Its possible. Not exactly recommended against experienced players though. The backpack launching system is nice and all, but unless you make it controllable or track your position, it'll just fly in a straight line. Its really nice for making kamikaze packs against AI bosses though.

>>15457605
Adding the MMI-X340 "Palma Fiocina" Palm Beam Cannons onto the unit, allowing it to penetrate the enemy mobile suit... TWICE.

I like that. It lets me put on a whole lot of burst damage. Still, I wonder if it'll be okay, being situated on a super-heated hand.

I call it... the GF13-NJi Radiant Gundam!

>>15457864
If I recall correctly, there's 2 parts to the palm cannon, the cannon itself, which is in the arm, and the "nozzle" of the cannon, which is on the hand.
I think a strengthened hand should work fine.

Destiny's palm cannons are generally fun to use. Easy to conceal, and fucking hilarious when in a melee fight.

Funnily enough, there is no ban list. Most people can't program those things in, though.

>>15447822
I'd say getting something like the Sword Striker Pack's Panzer Eisen would be good to close distances, though I'm not so sure if you can lug around the Barbatos' mace like that.

Still, if you get other things, I'm sure you can be an arsenal of ballistic destruction!

>>15459521
>close distance
I personally use grappling hooks more to move around stealthily.
In enclosed maps some players run thermal sights, not using the thrusters helps in being hidden if they are using thermals.

>>15447196
Seems to be pretty common everywhere that's not here. Dunno what it is about the local scene, but none of them stick around for very long. Shame too, my doubles partner could use more opportunities to Haman it up.

>>15447329
>the bad guy that ends up being defeated
Are you, perhaps, the Char that was there at the Learn to GunplaBattle! Event 3 months back?
I was one of the assistants there, teaching the kids and all when a Char appeared and challenged us all to a fight. I went in ahead to try to take down the Char but the deliberate holding back was pretty obvious, nice way of communicating the non-hostility as well, locking on me and then turning the lockon off to purposely miss a shot on me.
If it was you, thanks for playing along with me and hamming it up, even after I went down in a dramatic way, really made the fight much more fun for the kids

>>15461061
There was more than one Learn to GunplaBattle! event 3 months ago, it's an international thing.

It wasn't me, though, because I didn't have any weapons with a lock-on function.

>>15449772
could maybe do a heavily upgraded version of the G-Fighter, like load it up with a bunch of Sentinel, ZZ, CCA, and Unicorn era weapons and equipment(like take all the stuff off of a Hi-Nu, HWS Nu, S Gundam Booster Unit, and both the standard Full Armor Unicorn Gundam and the Plan B variant, plus some Incoms and Funnel Missiles for good measure, and some Thunderbolt and Dendrobium Sub-Arm units to properly wield some of that stuff)

of course this hypothetical bastard would be not only expensive to build but would probably be a bitch to control

>>15450059
but it does, admittedly it's not a very common kit, but almost every MS & MA has gotten a 1/144 scale kit at some point

not in real life, but that does appear to be a basic assumption in any of the various Gunpla Battle universes

>>15449511
Sounds like a Yu-Gi-Oh fan to me.

A good friend of mine was actually big into that series 'bout two or so years back, and he only battled with Gunpla he could make look like monsters from that series. Just from the top of my head, I can remember him using a Zssa styled to look like Exodia, and a Re-GZ painted like Dark Magician.
Fucker never won, but he always had a good time.

>>15462334
Those are always the best people to play against. It's refreshing. Then again, playing against something that not Maximum Meta Gundam or MUH GRUNTS is refreshing around here.

>>15462334
He isn't running around SoCal is he?!?

>At FLGS, working on some new weapons
>Poke my casual head into the arena

>...with a 3-Headed, light-blue Danazine

Shit was insane! There's no way in hell that thing can fire off so many beams without running out of particles within 2 minutes!!!

>>15462562
I've seen some guy that runs around with a white Danazine, he calls it Stardust iirc, but he would go in, and when shit is getting too much, he would launch in a backpack via the option pack system, and announce that he is tuning his gunpla and something about synchronising.
And then his gunpla would basically transform into another form thanks to that thing he launches in, was pretty cool.

>>15462562
Nah, sorry - we're up North. However, he did say that he had some friends down south who did pretty much the same thing.

I think they made a little group for it, actually.

>>15462562
He's probably got them down-tuned to minimum viable power while maintaining the visuals. All flash and little substance. Or there might be something fucky going on with the powerplant. Hard to say.

>>15463381
Or he is mad enough to actually combine 3 Danazine kits, including the powerplant and all.
3 powerplants sounds like it should work pretty well if tuned nicely.

>>15463381
I'm leaning more toward BS power plant shenanigans. A few regulars gearing up to tear this guy down. I'll be watching from the sidelines.

Question: Is that weird bug where Ideon, Dunbine, and L-Gaim kits get wrongly recognized as MS still a thing?

>>15464147
Where have you been? That bug was fixed a couple patches ago.

>>15464147
>>15465394
Hah. Reminds me of that glitch where Dragonar kits registered as SEED variants.

Good times, man. Good times...

>>15458357
>>15458357
Honestly Black History is the hardest thing to actually create, with a Unicorn Psychoframe being pretty close in line.

>>15467027
Hang on, how does the Unicorn's NT-D work in Gunpla battle? Does it just look for really good battlers? Does it straight-up react to Psycommu-using Gunpla?

I MUST KNOW.

Hey /gp/ bros, I am prepping to make a run at the next National Tournamenr here in the states but I need some technical help calibrating my Qan[T] custom the Dominion. Basically when I go Trans-Am I deploy all Bits simultaneously and each Bit uses quantum tunneling individually and uses the psycommu I have set up to surround the opponent. Only thing is occasionally Bits will go into their portal and not emerge on the other side. What is even more odd is in completely unrelated battles, and even on different machines hosting the fight they will re-emerge. Would any of you guys know why the bits are basically vanishing? Or how they even appear when I am using completely different machines? I have each bit individually painted and labeled so I know which one is unique.

>>15467335
it does, you have to do some programming(although there's multiple premade programs around for pretty much anything you'd want a Gunpla to be able to do) to make it work, and by default it's a bit of a particle hog

>>15467448
that's apparently a very rare Plavsky Particle reaction occurring, in fact supposedly the writers of 00 added the quantum tunneling concept to the show after witnessing said phenomenon occurring in a very early version of the GP system(tweaks to the system since that time means it's pretty rare for that kind of thing to occur randomly)

>>15467448
Might be a case of the bits losing the link to the main gunpla after they enter Quantum Tunneling, thus them being lost till they find their way out, usually its when someone else runs something that leads to tunneling happening.
Tunneling was originally a bug anyway, they called it a feature because its like the tunneling in the show, still extremely buggy outside of using it to do portal shenanigans, and even then there is a good risk of you losing your gunpla when you go tunneling, a friend lost his custom 00QT when he tunneled, lost the link to the gunpla entirely, and he never saw it again.

As for why they appear in other machines, I suspect its because tunneling actually briefly brings stuff to the local plavsky particle tank, each neighborhood has like a cluster of those tanks acting as backup supplies for the machines in the region, might be your bits following the flow of the particles and landing in other machines that way after being lost in the tanks.

The first time my FLGS did a random draw for suits, I drew a Zock custom. It was fun, though not something I would pick given the option

>>15468554
Nine atomic missiles and its big, meaty claws!

Guys I used some Macross parts on my GM Nightseeker build (extra vernier parts), now my entire set up is bricked... How is the DRM on this shit so strict?!

>>15468867
Gunpla is freedom as long as you use Ban-Dai approved parts!

>>15467335
It works but you'll just get called a cheater and a baby by people using Nu players

>>15468867
people here have been using third party parts, entire third party kits, homemade shit and in one case fucking duct tape, how cucked by bandai is your venue?

>>15467522
>>15467987
Thanks guys, hopefully I don't lose my whole Gunpla to the tunneling gods like your friend did. Although that sounds like one hell of a story if it happened in the middle of a tournament. Interesting none the less.

>>15468867

Your venue has Tournament regulation mode as the standard. That setting is hard-coded to use EXCLUSIVELY Bandai builds and will check for an internal particle frequency to verify.

>>15469138
Another way to lose your gunpla to the tunneling gods is to follow an opponent into their tunneling portal when they tunnel.
They get out of the tunnel safely, and you just lose your conection to your gunpla

Atomic missiles are piss easy to avoid with a decently fast gunpla anyway.
Some builds can tank the nukes with ease.
