Te55.a "Anti Air turret down. Sorry for the bad intel on the AA turret our satalite did nto manage to get a good image of it at the time of capture.

Good work Free Machines, Now linking to High Command...."

High Command: "Te55.a This is IZ-AK, Free Machines High Command receiving your signal loud and clear"

Te55.a "Delta Squad has eliminated the defenses around the Cybernetica Relay station Code; CNRS-12. Initiating data transfer..."

A moment passes

IZ-AK (HC) "Good work Delta Squad. we are receiving encrypted orders from "wolf" to "Stonemason". Stonemason appears to be some sort of orbital station in ... hang on..."

The stream goes quiet.

IZ-AK (HC) "Hold position Delta, The secure transfer of this data is now your TOP Priority."

Te55.a "Sir... I am reading inbound reinforcements to Delta's location, appears to be Orbital Re-Entry Vehicles. We have no record of their launch"

IZ-AK (HC) "I repeat hold position Delta. This data is your Top Priority. We are expanding your armory access"

The link cuts off.

Te55.a (to Squad) " numerous orbitial re-entry vehicles are inbound north of your position, i am unable to calculate their launch location. It should be somwhere in local space.

FX-D4G "Rigger" our mobile command center is on its way. I need you to select a landing site as our eyes on the ground."

(3X3 space needed)

"FX-D4G is able to provide repairs, de-construction and reconstruction of units."

Salvage: 1400 xp for the party, (280 each player, or 200 for everyone including new players)

Armoury Update!

Light Rotary Firing Assembly: 25xp Allows the user to mount 3 of the same weapon to a single hardpoint. Boosts RoF by 3x.

Light Redundancy Systems: 25xp Allows the unit to survive a single deathblow.

Cybernetica Light Targeting Unit: 25xp, Allows the unit to shoot 25% further.

So wait, what do we do now, and how much HeXP/xp do we have?

1) Decide on deployment area of FX-D4G "Rigger" mobile command station. (3x3 area needed)
2) Decide on HeXP share. Either 280 to the players of the mission (Yourself, Harzipan, caek, Izen, Maarten) or 200 each for everyone (including the kebbit and Fail Flial.

Can we switch to new equipment on the turn it arrives or the turn after?
If so I would like to switch to a medium power armoured unit with two autocannons. 525 points total, which is 5 point less if we each take 280. If we split everything fairly I'd either like to borrow or the med power armoured unit with a triple linked marksrifle.
"I suggest we deploy the rigger to the east of the enemy base, an easily defendable position."
Run to the south east so I can change my loadout asap.

"I AGREE ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE RIGGER."
Assuming fair distribution of materials, I have 550 XP in total if I sell my current load out.
Sell all existing equipment, buy 2 light tanks equipped with a light laser on both.
That should leave me with 50 xp left.

What kind of stats will the tanks have later on? I do hope they get modules.

HOYL FCUK

do entering players receive xp as well, or do we end up on lower footing

if we get the extra hexpee i will amend my build to

Chassis: Medium Gunship
Weapons:
- Autocannon
- GyroMG
Modules:
- Rotary Firing Assembly (if it only applies to one, give it to the autocannon)

You have to pay for three weapons with the rotary fire thing right? Otherwise it's just a better and cheaper version of the dual wield.

I assume you have to buy all three, but they have to be the same weapon, unlike dual wield.

Does the light part of the name mean only light weapons can be mounted, or that it has to be on a light chassis?

The Free Machine Heavy tank has a single module due to the focus on armour with the tanks.



You have to pay for all 3 plus the Rotary Module.


Light is its maximum weight as such. For example a medium weight mech can mount Light modules and weapons, but a light weight could not mount medium units.

So a Light rotary can only use light weapons. however a Rotorary Assembly gyro Mg could be mounted on a medium weight.
(now if only something had 3 module slots, so i could mount dual weild, twin rotary gyroMG's)

HeXP Distribution
Veterans only: 1
(280 to CrazyMLC, Izen, Maart3n, CaekDemon, Harzipan)

Shared to all: 1
(200 to everyone)

Can I get an aproximation on how long it'll take before we get to the heavy tanks. If it's a substantial amount of time, the tank line is pretty much useless.



EDIT : Actually, screw the tank line, I'm making a new load out.

EDIT EDIT : 2 Medium Vehicles, each carrying a single light laser.

Now I can move players and have the same fire power as before.

Actually, I think the tanks have their own little useful space in the loadout. It has a high survivability.

The gunship is what lacks anything special. You can put a light dual wield on the medium vehicle and it becomes a gunship, but with more health AND more armor, although slightly slower and unable to mount medium weapons. But the high speed doesn't help if the rest of your team is slow, it'll only get you stuck in situations where you're going to die alone on the front lines. Who would ever want to be a gunship?
Even if you want medium weapons you can buy a medium dual wield, and there you go, you're a better gunship.


Anyway
> Medium Power Armour, Light Rotary Firing Assembly, 3 GyroMGs. (400xp) And I'm fine with either split and I don't care where we place the base thing.

>Sell old loadout. Medium power armor, three GyroMGs and a light rotary firing assembly. I'm okay for giving the newbies the extra XP, and the base can go wherever

So the new character sheet would be like this
Model Number: T1-M
Name: Timothy
HP: 10+40
Chassis: Medium power armor
Weapons: GyroRifle
Modules: Light rotary firing assembly
XP: 125

I don't know.

The medium vehicle is a better tank than the light, since if I only had one, I could give it a medium repair nanites, which give me uber survivability, and I could dual wield 2 light lasers.

Model Number: JOTN-5
Name: -error-
Chassis: Medium Gunship
Weapons:
- Medium HighEX Autocannon
- GyroMG
Modules:
- Cybernetica Light Targeting Unit
XP: 450
