WELL THEN.

We're still missing a few players to finish the mission. If they don't show up, we can continue without them, or just add new people instead.

Continuing with a smaller party will be a problem because the encounters were scaled to a team of six-eight people, so there might be some balance issues.

And just slapping new people in fucks with the continuity of the game.

Either way, if the players are up for it, we'll finish the game today. The decision is up to you guys.

Its all just VR this time, right? It shouldn't be too hard to make up some excuse for new arrivals if we have slots open and people on standby.

Jesus, I haven't seen this in a while

I have some questions to anyone who can answer them.

1. Experimental #004 says that 1 power can recharge instantly, does that mean you can fire it twice or more per turn if you spend enough POW?

2. Can AP Ammo stack with Sidewinder to make a 4 AP weapon?

3. Why is no one going Hanse?

I assume so, though that'd probably make it better than the Titan Laser

>2. Can AP Ammo stack with Sidewinder to make a 4 AP weapon?

Nope, AP can only go to the amount of damage a weapon can do, for 3 AP damage.

1. If a suit with 10 base DUR with harden up (for 20 DUR +shield) hit by a flamer (for -1 dur) have 18 or 19 DUR?

2. Does a Dragon-type suit do 9 damage with Wyvern's Breath?

3. Does a suit have to roll a D6 to see if they block damage from an explosion they create (ie with heavy bomb generator)?

>>50430299
1. 19 and the harden shield is reduced first.

Primarily equipped for reconnaissance, infiltration, and elimination of soft targets, Trespasser has only recently emerged onto the PA scene in the wake of the Bright Offensive. While his work to date has been as an independent contractor, Trespasser has been discussing joining the Armor Corps with its recruiters.

When playing a /qst/, is it better to have an all around suit or to specialize in one particular stat? Because when i look at the stats of some armor, they really specialize in one stat only

File: flares6.jpg (9KB, 200x268px) Image search: [Google]

9KB, 200x268px

Can we have some kind of flare-gun item? Above and beyond whatever illumination a flare might provide colored flares would be invaluable as signaling devices (especially to suits who've turned off their radios so they don't get haxored).

>It would also give me more opportunities to make breakfast club jokes

>>50433040
It kind of depends on the stat. A good number of the builds posted in thread are hammy go-fast builds as opposed to power-gamer stomp machines.

>>50433040
It really varies with certain types being more popular at times than others.

>>50432706
How about a Hanse Assassin? Bonuses to take down soft targets with higher Dexy and Damage over Time. They're also Germany based, so there's that.

>>50434029
That might be neat. Is faction stuff usually an issue when doing missions/qst-ing?
And can I just add this character to the wiki?

1. How does your suit protect you from 1-shot melee Assassination?

Clownfish tries to blow up/set everything nearby on fire.

Wing Jaeger uses stealth to avoid detection and has radar, Sonar, BIS/Hypersweep to try and detect enemy mesh before they can get close enough.

Aerion has some sensors but mostly he hopes somebody else on the team has enough detect to protect him from the unrighteous.

Keiser uses a combination of smarm and ensuring he's never the highest priority target.

2. How many points of your suit build are there solely for the fluff/RP?

3. How are you using spinners?

4. Is Clownfish the only one who decided "I don't really NEED spotlights or nightvision if I've got a flamethrower do I?"

5. Anybody else with a Moq face-tank interested in forming a fluff-only subfaction?

AP can't be guarded unless PBed, and since Assassination can't be logically PB you can't. 15 dam mesh builds are OP in my thoughts.

>>50435176
Nonsense.

Mesh assassin players have to deal with the fact that:
A: TA suits have 30 HP (though I suspect this may vary depending on GM)
B: You only get one attack from stealth that ignores DUR etc and it could miss even if you stack melee to-hit bonuses. (in fact if you play the pilot regularly your almost guaranteed to miss at some point.)
C: once you've blown your wad it'll be 30 seconds before you can cloak again. If there are any other TA suits in the area or you didn't drop your target you'll have to super-runaway or face a slugging match meshes are least predisposed towards.
D: you can't really melee assassinate anything allied fortresses are shooting.

TA melee assassins have things quite a bit better however:
1. TA pilots not having much left in the way of impulse control its a rare TA pilot that can actually engage in that kind of skulking.
>In crunch terms GMs will (or so I've been told) avoid having a PC killed outright by a single attack without allowing some kind of roll)
2: Properly equipped your suit has a chance to warn you in time to foil a melee assassination attempt.
3: hardlight can be used to create decoys which enemy TAs might blow their chance on instead of you (though hardlight projectors seem like their utility can vary widely from GM to GM)
4: speed-stacking go-fast stig builds should have a fair degree of immunity as a TA suit will be extremely hard pressed to close with them.
5. Basically what I'm saying is that if you look past pure stats there are ways to counter them (GM-willing)

>Disclaimer: any or all of what I just said may be complete bullshit take with grain of salt

Does "Duck it" work for stat Debuffs?

Let's get some fluff rolling in here.

1. How do you picture the layout and general feel of your faction's headquarters? If you don'y have a faction, just describe Armored Corp HQ in New Zealand.

2. What does your pilot do when not on the field in missions? Are they a maintenance engineer? Doctor? Guard? Just some dolt that's laying about?

Explain to me the current story of PACYOA, since the Wiki is greatly outdated to my knowledge.

>>50441727
Prompts like this are great.

Kind of torn on whether or not a middle eastern fortress like Margat or Kerak would be fitting (for the sheer fuck yeah value), or a more mundane, functional building complex. Probably the later. Would probably not be very much in use most of the time, since most of the suiters would be out and about or staying over in more problem-prone areas. Presumably there would be a handful of intel suiters keeping tabs over the Internet, and news sources, outgoing emergency supplies, and the occasional training. Could imagine a bunch of bunks and maybe a sickbay / medical wing. The place would presumably be very quiet most of the time, overall.

>What does your pilot do when not on the field in missions? Are they a maintenance engineer? Doctor? Guard? Just some dolt that's laying about?
Dolt laying around x1000. Flying around and sightseeing would get old. Would be doing nothing but blasting shitty music no one else likes, harassing other members, and acting up injuries to try and garner sympathy from his suit AI.

>>50441727
I always pictured AC HQ as being 90% underground with the surface structures all being obviously military reinforced concrete types. Lots of airfields connecting to massive hanger complexes with elevators going far underground.

Around this central complex it sprawls for miles and miles with defensive, sensor, communications and other structures occasionally peeking out of the New Zealandian LotR-esque looking landscape. In addition to the main complex there are firing ranges and smaller out-complexes etc

>ie a higher tech Middle-Earth Camp Pendleton

>>50442046
>>50441727

I believe that there are more than just suits in the complexes. Since Earth was mostydestoryed during the apocalypse, I like to think that there are survivors, crewmen, engineers, and even families living inside, each serving a purpose to try to rebuild their lost world.

>>50441727
>How do you picture the layout and general feel of your faction's headquarters?
I feel like Hanse Behörde has a very 'clinically clean' sort of feel, a professional air to it that is nothing short of a facade for the innumerable mental health problems that all of the pilots have. For instance: The canteen may have rugs, booths, classical music, and an all-you-can-eat buffet with caviar and red wine as appetizers. But there is also an incredible amount of booze, the medical centers in the HB Headquarters and bases are almost always full of pilots wanting one medication or another. Combat sims run almost 24/7 because it takes the pilot's minds off of things. There is also a large amount of legal drugs, hookers, etc, to help with the pilot's constant and unending stress. BUT all of this in an incredibly classy way. Your prostitute is 5-star or above, your cocaine could make a Colombian drug lord turn green with jealously, that kind of thing.

>What does your pilot do when not on the field in missions?
Drugs, combat sims, hiding away in his suit and generally staying away from everyone. He talks with his A.I. (Who still hasn't been uplifted, but he wants to for her. They have strange conversations). Oh and drinking, drinking ALOT.

>>50441727
1.I Generally imagine it as a pretty big complex with various things, including some recreational things as well as important utility areas.

2.Relax, look into news of other things. I figure Pilots are just tasked with piloting as they'd want them to be at their best at about all times.

>>50431977
absolute shit taste confirmed

Somehow, I've never really believed in the whole GI having a single, permanent headquarters. I've always seen GI as scattered, with hidden Viet Cong like underground bases and training camps dotted throughout the world, connected through messengers and various communications systems. (Possibly even buried telegram lines in some cases).

The HQ, if any indeed exists, would be moved from place to place or from camp to camp periodically, in order to minimize risk of the proverbial head getting cut off.

>>50443027
So... what you're saying is that GIs headquarters is in Laos?

>>50443027
GI formed in Venezuela, South America, so their strongest presence still remains there, though they are confirmed to have military outposts in Mexico, Italy, Africa and Russia as well. I could see a group of them setting up in Indochina purely for the lulz.

Roist isn’t really allowed to have a lot of off time. The Templar Order was originally founded to protect pilgrims to the Holy Land and they’ve intentionally tried to spend much of their time returning to those roots. The Templar have taken upon themselves the defense of any settlement attempting to evacuate in the face of TA attack, any group of civilians likely to come under TA attack before reaching its destination, and other such situations so Roist spends most all of his time engaged in such tasks. Only when Moqaddas or their allies want the Templar’s heavy assault capabilities for missions of particular strategic importance are they recalled to Moq HQ.

Aside from engaging in combat operations and traveling to or from combat operations Roist spends most of the remaining time praying, exercising, cleaning Aerion, and washing his tabbard. His sole recreational activity is jamming with his band Deus Volt (they're all Moq pilots, they use Aerion as a combination stage/amp)

DMZ: De-militarized zone
AKA a neutral zone which has guns pointed at it from both sides.

FOB: Forward operating base.
Think of it as a gas station for military ops. Or the showers for a public pool.

I think the closest is the safe haven term which is the term for a designated zone to evacuate civs.

>1. How do you picture the layout and general feel of your faction's headquarters?

I feel like the TE base is a mix between a giant hive honeycomb structure, the underground raccoon building from the resident evil movie, and a little bit of SETA radar and military drone hangars.

2. What does your pilot do when not on the field in missions? Are they a maintenance engineer? Doctor? Guard? Just some dolt that's laying about?

Being Tommy is the director of TE now, he doesn't have much free time while in TE. You think they being the head scientist he would do more of the engineering science he loves. Well you would be wrong. It's paperwork, meetings, and otherwise dealing with everyone's problems all to continue to continue being the "leader" of a direct democracy that only means he has enough sway to move TE in a "general" direction. At least he gets first pick on the TE anime stream. He only picks gundam seed when he really feels like a monster.

Wait, PACYOA is a thing again?

I've made builds for this before, but I've not ever participated in any of these sort of almost RPG like things, though I am interested in maybe doing it, so I have a few questions:

1. How viable is a satellite-esque build? Like, could I just hide in space and take potshots at people like the coward I am?

2. Does siege mode work whilst in space?

3. Can I be useful whilst in space?

4. What stats would be good for a tanky space fortress?

>>50449922
Space never

>>50449957
Is being in space just useless across the board, or could I be useful in a counter/intelligence role? Like Soundwave, in the new shitty movies

>>50449983
Space is straight up not an option

>>50450166
But the cyoa implies multiple times that orbital combat is a thing that happens? Like with environmental controls III, flight, and the (OTG) tags under some weapons?

Is it not an option because it's not allowed, or just prohibitively difficult?

>>50450384

Daww. That's unfortunate. I have no idea who that is, but I'll assume he's acting as a DM or something.

If I were to build a fortress mech, what should I be looking into?

>>50450470
Firepower and drones obviously

>>50450505
Sorry if these sound like stupid questions, but I'm new to all this, and I'm not really sure how the "meta" of this is working.

So if I were to make a fortress, I'd be relying mostly on drones? How good are fortress mechs, generally? I wouldn't be ending up in a shit situation would I?

>>50449922
You could try and go maximum stealth fort, with Railguns and other OTG weapons. Overlod, all that stuff

>>50450384
>>50449983

It's... Kind of not an option since most alien forces are surrounding Earth and therefore control space. Anything that goes up gets blown up, but low atmosphere is still doable.

>>50450542
Ah right. I was thinking just chilling out in L1 taking potshots and cunts with a railgun, but if I'm going to get hunted down by ayys that's probably not an option.

I was mostly just considering it as a way to put myself out of direct combat, whilst still allowing myself to interfere using OTG weapons and ECM and other computers shit. I'm guessing hiding from the ayys isn't really an option either?

Would any sort of mobile command thing be useful? Like relying communications, and hacking and stuff?

>>50450589
An overlord body that floats around relaying messages and communications is certainly helpful. It could also serve as a highly mobile artillery platform.

>>50450628
And transport. Especially if you take mount and all rec upgrades so you can operate your suit forever.

Just drafting this up, tell me if I've made some hilariously stupid mistakes, that's bound to happen, because I'm an idiot.

Class: Fortress
Body Type: Overlord (190)
AI: Engineer (180)
UI: Brain Implant (160)
HUD: Advanced Suit Status (155), Hawkeye (150), Thermal (140), Radar (130)
Comms: Terminal (120), FSOT (110) Comm Buoy (100), Spider (95), Spyware (90), Defense Maze (80)
Weapons: Stinger Howitzer (60)
Drones: 2x Heavy, Autocannon (40), Scavenger (30)
Upgrades: Solar Panels (20), Photosynthetic Augment (10), Cyber Brain (0)

Kind of started to run out of points towards the end, but I think this should be fairly useful. If needs be, I can kill myself and just live in the mech forever.

Use the drones to cover me from attacks at closer range, and hit people at long range with the cannon, whilst using the scavenger drones to repair and rebuild drones.

>>50450820
Looks pretty good. just a quick note, Forts get drones at 2x1,so you'd have 4 heavies and two machinists

>>50450883
Yeah, I just wanted to point out how many I was buying, not how many I got.

So this is a functional build? I don't want to start playing and find that I'm a bloody burden on everyone else.

>>50450820
Cyberbrain and Brain Implant are unneeded unless you're going for the Starcraft Raven drone feel

>>50451082
I mostly got it just to avoid dying. And I play a lot of RTSes, I know how difficult it can get controlling multiple units all at once. I imagine it'd be even more difficult to do it whilst under fire. I'd think using a brain implant would kind of help with that, a bit.

>>50448625

Being a Leader of faction was basically being the most active player of the faction and asking fool in the past to be said leader.

Guess who was the most active in TE.

Elections would be fine though, the issue is though is that for TE it would be pretty much LT, Ivan, and maybe the new guys.

>>50450820

Floating carriers are always amusing.

The only people who should be in charge of anything bigger than a team or mission should be the GMs or maybe retired players.

>>50450532
As concerns the "meta" most fortresses (in my experience) break down into three categories.

A: Drone armada carriers: for most ppl an airstorm drone costs 10 points including the cost of weapons which would cost 15-20 points if mounted directly onto your suit. Add to that the fact that fortresses get two for the price of one and airstorms become even more phenomenally efficient in terms og gun-per-point.

there are drawbacks however. 1: they can only mount T1-T2 weaponry so in general if you want to do some hefty damage with airstorms you need quite a lot of them. in order to use all those drones you'll need to spend a lot of AAs as well. 2. drones are very fragile which means if the TA are feeling spiteful your damage output can tank in a round or two (but any enemy shooting at your drones isnt shooting at you or an ally)

in my opinion drone armada forts can be really deadly but they take quite a bit more thought/skill to use well

B: the other variety of damage dealing fortress is the artillery fortress and they Fuck. Shit. Up. Give it a lot of really big guns (or launchers) with really long range park in siege mode and then just delete large portions of the battlefield

C: utility: a mesh (for example) has a pretty narrow range of things it can get done in a battle unless you build them for a specific task outside that narrow range but fortresses can be do all kinds of stuff at the same time. their coms boost is helpful (I think... is it?) people can ride inside you so smaller suits tend to congregate around you. they can get 12 AAs without buying anything at all which is a nice trick. the cheap drones means you can field drones boosting sensor rolls, COM rolls to hit, drones for laying mines or spamming emp grenades, twice as many kitted out avatars, etc and what drone varieties turn out to be of no use still cost you almost nothing.

>>50450589
I remember designing my own LEO gun platform and having my dreams dashed

>>50450650
and cyberbrain/mycelium so you can operate your suit literally forever

>>50450909
if you have the TECH bonus to use those sensors and haxmotrons you'll be the furthest thing from a burden. (some of us are too buisy putting MOAR GUNZ on our suits to be bothered with trifles like cyberwarfare and sensors and really anything that isnt moar gun)

>>50451318
I concur. I fluffed Roist as being in charge of a group within Moq but as it has no stat impact and will likely remain unknown to the vast majority of players I didnt see it causing a problem

Reminder that you can make a melee build that does roughly 800 damage per round

>>50452015
How much after dur, point barriers, etc?

>>50451318

Then doesn't that make LT in charge of TE correct then?

How about a history lesson from the fag who played Albatross?

>Be fighting for Port Moresby in the water squad (iirc) as Albatross with Zulu as his partner
>Zulu was the waifu of literally half of all of the people who played at that point
>Basically entirely uneventful for most of the mission
>Suddenly, El Blanco came out of nowhere and hit both Albatross and Zulu with 9 fucking WMGs (Instagib, we both failed rolls)
>Both of us loudly bitch about it
>Drama led one thing to another, and Zulu died as a result of Albatross using her as a human shield
>This caused almost a week of shitstorm
>To this day, Albatross regrets nothing

And that's why nobody dies in TE

>>50454474
If anybody buys that at face value, I've got seaside property in Nevada I'll sell you dirt-cheap.

>>50454474

Nobody dies in TE because most GMs play with the "you get a second (life) with 1 hp after 0 hp." Thing.
There where moments where people should he died but only lost limbs and shit because everybody dog piles on teammates in trouble now.

He'll If op pretend actually finished it would have been a wipe. One guy died and looked like others where falling down.

Also nobody likes a cheap death Mr sand.

Why are you guys so focused on speed and recovery? Why not strength or dexterity for a change?

>>50463976
Action economy
Although now that you mention it, it might be a good idea to change up gunsmith slightly

>>50464068
rookie here, what is this gunsmith alot of people have been talking about?

>>50464181
He's some completely random suit that was found guarding a large group of unused suit pods. He actually has no development beyond that, so I'm going to have to do that in a mission or two

>>50463976
Well, not only does speed allow you to move faster around the battlefield, Recovery means that you stay in it longer. However, beforethe gane went into hiatus, high dexy builds were the norm due to dodging and melee mechanics. Before that it was heavies and forts that hit like trucks with tons of dexterity.

That and two of the oldest players have made a competition of who's fastest, so that may have inspired folks to try the same thing.

>I don't need a free hand for every single weapon, right? I've got a special snowflake idea of combining several pile bunkers into one giant club

>>50482836
1. Anyone can buy anything with a price. Everything except the fusions count as black market.

2. There is a 1:1 bonus to melee damage based on your strength. Hopefully that's what you're talking about.

3. You can mount them to any feasible location, arms not required. I believe someone in the past made some similar combined weapon, but I'm not sure if it was allowed regularly.

Nope, unfortunately -- in the PDF, under Dex, it mentions that melee attack bonus = (dex-1)*2.

Not a chance.

It's probably accuracy.

>>50482955
(dexy -1)*2 is your bonus to hitting, i.e. If you roll a 60 and your thershold is 40, the bonus would get you closer to that.

We don't get too many Mediums in GI. Welcome to best faction.

>>50492413
Curses, the free static camouflage is hard to replace, and the change to guerrilla is really enticing.

Am I understanding tracker correctly that it would apply -10 Dex from the speciality skill and -10 from perk when sneaking to a total of -20?

Which would you suggest between Tracker and Guerrilla?

>>50492582
That is entirely correct. The GI bonus and the ghost module specialty skill do stack.

I personally run tracker, but that's because I'm basically a massive coward who avoids combat when possible. As a Medium sniper build, either specialization could suit you well.

Simplified as much as possible, with your build, Guerrilla would improve your ability to harm enemies, whilst Tracker would increase your survival chances, so it depends on if you want to be aggressive or defensive.

>>50492615
Can you attempt stealth even without camouflage? Actually is there more in-depth rules than >>50423421 im trying to figure out how combat actually plays out.

The intent with this build is to be a sort of raider. Run in, deal damage, run out. Rinse and repeat. Rather than a sniper - but with the range on the Rail Rifle I understand why you thought that.

Im looking to expand with time to include additional hardline protection and crowd-controlish weapon as time goes by.

>>50492772
The original game devs didn't really put too much thought into stealth. What you see is what you get, as far as stealth rules go.

I've had a complete stealth and sniping update ready to go for a year. So far, GM has been willing to test 'em yet.

So far, people have just been using DEX rolls to determine how sneaky you are, and then anyone trying to spot you has to do a TECH roll and succeed by more than you did on your stealth.

Shooting or attacking breaks stealth. To regain it, you have to break line of sight then stealth again.

>>50492927
Sorry so to clarify, breaking line of sight is enough to begin stealth? And then the upside of a camouflage module is that you can move in the open if you have it, compared to say moving through buildings to maintain it?

In that case i think ill modify to guerilla. I think it most accurately portrays the commando build im going for.

>>50427661
Where are the rules for various ammunitions found? Such as AP ammo

Anything that can fit on the body, but I remember there was thoughts about the time it takes to re-expand it that nobody touched.

Backpack size=1 round
Underwear size= 2 rounds
Ring = 3 rounds.

But as far as I know it's not a rule so have fun.

It would also double as the world's greatest ballistics vest.

Uh, I think I could make a character that does max damage 3234 in a turn. Would that be overkill, or is it a good idea?

>>50494737
What how?

>>50494737
I would say that would be overkill by several Megatons.

>>50494758
6 pile drivers, 9 base dex, celerity+overload and a ronin.

>>50494768
How many points for the build?

>>50494793
200. But, all of them are spent on damage. I'm >>50493886 and wondering how much I can sacrifice for the more comfortable things in life.

>>50494801
It's worth noting that without celerity and overload the output is only 1596. This is all assuming every attack hits, by the way, and you'd only get a -16 bonus to dex rolls (w/o celeriload).

>>50494768
I believe someone said the Dex determining damage trait was removed from the Ronin helmet.... likely for this exact reason.

>>50494873
Spoilsport. Time to remake my build.

What IS a reasonable amount of damage? In terms of theme I was going for reasonably unreasonable damage with an otherwise very basic suit set-up. High damage, but not overkill by several megatonnes.

>>50494899
Wouldnt reasonable damage be the damage output of any 2 weapons combined? (for a medium size suit) and then add a weapon for every size up?

>>50494899
...I honestly don't see any reason to do over 300 Possible Damage a turn

The only times you would need more is if someone pulls multiple Superforts out of their ass, or the actual Vannai show up.

Which case a call to Zippy and unleashing the El Blanco Nukes would be in the cards.

>>50494915
And even 300 might be overkill.

>>50494911
What I meant was: how much damage should I do in order to be helpful to the team?
>>50494915
Alright, that frees up a lot of points. Like, even without the Ronin that build does 2058 max damage (celeriloaded) and 1232 normally.

>>50494915
Considering a target has at most 30HP + say 20 Durability, wouldn't anything that can put out 50 damage reliably be 'enough' assuming you want to 1 shot everything.

>>50494936
Honestly, your doing enough damage to level cities kid.

>>50494943
...I think that's actually a lot more reasonable then what I was going for.

>>50494936
Helpfulness isn't always about raw damage, but rather how you apply it if at all.

>>50494943
So the main concern isn't how much damage you can do, but how many people you can do it to? I vaguely recall some rules about actions and how many you can do and how many people you can target -- I looked in the OP but couldn't find them (only rules for ranged weapon fire rate): are they still around?
>>50494948
Levelling cities would be pretty fluff-appropriate, given the theme I have in mind...but I'm not that That Guy-ish.
>>50494967
This is the impression I'm getting. How does an AoE melee build sound? Possible mesh-stealth.

>>50494977

I see a lot of questions and comments about damage-per-turn totals that make me feel like I need to point out some things.

1. Damage reduction from Dur is subtracted from each individual weapon strike.
2. Because of this a weapon with 10 damage value will NEVER do 10 damage in a turn (with the exception of melee assassination).
3. 90+ percent of attacks will have their base damage reduced by at least four points or more.
4. In my experience weapons without any kind of on-hit effect or special rules and a damage value lower than 7 are worthless if your goal is high damage output to TA enemies. There are reasons to take them but never for straight up killyness.
5. Keep synergy in mind. A suit with a lot of guns will do a lot more damage if one is a flamer because the flamers -1 Dur on-hit will increase your total damage done by 1 point for every weapon you hit with. Similarly if you're packing EMP weapons sufficient to drop an enemy to 0 Pow your total damage done will likely blow through the roof because A: it cant dodge B: it cant block with shields C: it can't point barrier away your strongest attack etc.

>>50495023
>on-hit effect
Do you mean EMP or AP? Is there something else?

>>50494977
Possible, though you'd be putting yourself at risk as Assasinate (melee) would only apply towards the very first strike in an attack series, then you go about tipping off the enemies.

Not sure if a Mesh would be well suited for that compared to perhaps a light or a heavier unit.

If you choose organic, could i technicall pilot an actual giant dog or something? with fur and shit.

>>50495023
>on #4 I meant to say 7 or lower

>>50495058
On-hit effects consist of any of those kinds of rules. AP, EMP, -1 Dur, -2 Dex, push target 1 range away from you, etc

6. If you're looking at total damage done per turn do not forget to think about the fact that a fortresses siege mode allows them to damage multiple suits with each individual shot. A rocket pod can take 2 shots each at a different target but if 2 enemies are near eachother in reality you can hit each of them twice.
7. remember to take range into account and that high FR gives additional attacks only if you have that many enemies in range. In other words the shorter a weapons range the lower the odds of more than one suit being in range are and thus the less valuable additional attacks due to FR become. This a major reason why Rocket pods are so rapetastic, if more than one TA suit exists anywhere you'll almost always get that second attack.
8. Also pay attention to whether or not a weapon require line of sight. a railgun has great range but if you're fighting in a city for example that range will do you no good most of the time whereas delicious rocket pods dont give a fuck if you have line of sight as long as you can get another suit or a drone to spot for you (or for fortresses if you can just guess well because AOE is very forgiving)

>>50495184

So taking into account your tips, how do you rate >>50492170 (updating operator to guerrilla for the +1AP/+1EMP)
is the Rail Rifle alone sufficient to contribute?

I was hoping to have enough shootiness to shoot melee focused suits, and enough stabbiness to stab shooty suits.

>>50495330
On Wing Jaeger I felt like a rail rifle alone meant I contributed virtually nothing offensively against TA. AP values only help against targets whose Dur is equal to or higher than the weapon's damage value (in this case 9) With 1 2 AP attack per turn it would likely take 20+ turns to kill a TA.

It looks like this build will only get one attack per turn if its MO is stabbing shooty suits which means you'll probably get vaporized before killing an enemy.

I think that stab them if they're shooty and shoot their if their stabby strategy is pretty fucking awesome but you're probably looking at a heavy build for that kind of thing. Its a very aggresive strategy and your build doesn't have anywhere near enough weaponry to pull that off. Also GI's benefits are mostly wasted on that kind of strat

Actually look up Paladin on the wiki, she did that quite well. Its a 1.7 build but most of her gear didnt change much in 2.0

>>50495501
GI intentionally don't recieve any bonuses for melee (apart from the +5 DEX) so that they don't step on Moqaddes or Hanse's toes. Even though, to be fair, Hanse trampled all over GI's turf in the 2.0 update.

>>50495501
desu the Rail Rifle is just plain bad. For the same cost you could get near the same base stats plus either +1 dam, +1 attack, indirect guided missiles, or +1 EMP which has far more utility than 1 AP. Really good accuracy isn't terribly helpful when hitting won't do very much

>>50494768
>>50494873

Overload only works on one weapon as far as I know, and Ronin Visor only adds damage at a rate of 1 for every 2 Dexy

Wait, I think I've been applying MFR completely wrong. Melee fire rate doesn't do anything except the "every 4 mfr" and "every 12 mfr" thing, right?

>>50495023
If most enemies have 20 dur, doesn't this mean no weapon can actually do damage without significant dur reduction?

>>50496024
What's the general stats of the guys you'll be going up against? If you're going to be regularly encountering people with 12 dur, you're going to need to pack a lot of dur-reducing weapons. If it's never really going to surpass four, then it's not needed unless that's your strat.

Also what's the rules re: advanced actions? I read something about not being able to do two different kinds in the same turn?

>>50496217
Average Dur should be around 4 for average mooks, dur 7 is for heavy minibosses, dur 9 for bosses

Dur 12 is impossible to damage for most people

>>50496361
So to run through the probably defunct piledriver build, to make sure I've got this right:

On a 4 dur mook I would deal 11 HP damage per hit, because 13 - 4 = 9 but you add 2 from the 2 AP.

With 14 melee fire rate and 4 Actions 3 of my piledrivers can hit twice, giving an additional 33 HP damage. Using every single piledriver on the same person I would deal a total of 13 * (6 piledrivers + 3 extra attacks) HP damage per turn, for a total of 99.

On minibosses I should deal 72/turn, and on bosses I should deal 54.

That's all "on hit", i.e. best case scenario.

>>50496524
If you only have 4 actions you can only attack 4 times per turn.

>>50496564
As in, you can only attack 4 times total? Like if you had five weapons then you could only ever use four of them at a time?

Also can you spoonfeed me where the rules for AAs are? I've been looking through the PDF and slowly finding stuff I was too blind to see.

>>50496361
So I was looking at double up and thinking about putting it on Clownfish because I figured it would make missions more fun and yield some RP dividends. And now that I'm really looking at it its kind goggling my mind.

1. It seems like partering up with one of them speed-max stig builds could make things a bit crazy.
2. The thought of the power of the EMP blast two heavies would cause with harden is making me salivate a little (and they'd still have another harden use between them.
3. OMFG Celerity on mah heavy!
4. a heavy and a mesh could set up some really crazy 1 2 punches with improved stealth not to mention the fact that with the high rec Meshs have Clownie could basically laugh off enemy heat cannons, sticky grenades etc
5. the really cool thing though is I'm betting theres all kinds of other cool stuff she'd be able to do with it that havent even occured to me yet

>>50496586
yes if you have 4 AAs and 5 weapons that fifth gets to sit on the bench

and the rules your looking for are here>>50423421

>>50496643
Oh shit, they meant Dex Tech and Com when they said type? I thought it was like attack or move. That clears a lot of stuff up.

What're the rules with moving and fighting? Could you move to one dude and attack twice, then move to another and attack twice, all in the same turn?

>>50496694
I know I've asked this before and gotten an "official" ruling but I guess I didn't screencap it #myshameknowsnobounds

I think the answer was no, once you attack someone in melee you can no longer move that round. Otherwise stigs could start a round like a billion miles away attack and warp back a billion miles.

I know you can attack two different suits in the same round of melee but I believe they have to be within RA 1 or 2

What kind of weapons/builds would a grunt have?

>>50496849
Assuming that's an unlikely situation, that seems to put a heavy disadvantage on melee. What's to stop ranged weapons from doing the same thing?

>>50496889
Again I'm not a dev and I could be remembering incorrectly but I think in that same exchange of rules errata I was told a suit could shoot and move or move and shoot and I think melee attacks had to be the end of your turn but they might have had the same restrictions as shooting

>>50496969
That seems fair. Seems like you could enlarge the range of melee-multi-targeting to something a bit more than 1 or 2 though, but only a bit. To give melee a distinct targeting disadvantage, but without making melee builds dead weight in the team.
