Futuristic Juggernauts: Mechs vs. Bugs

Huntertabbysandshark3 Huntertabbysandshark3 : thank you for the great pics of your mechs. They look like cool designs. But to incorporate them into the game, I'll need some information on them.

How much do they weigh (in tons)?
How fast do they move (kph)?
Do they jump or fly, and if so, how far?
What are their close range weapons and/or defenses?
What are their long range weapons?
Would you say they are lightly or heavily armored?
Do they need a crew besides a pilot?

These questions will help me set the mecha correctly in the game. Thank you!

Jackson123 Jackson123 : Thank you for a beautifully thought out, detailed background on your character. I must apologize, however, that I did not set the stage better as to where and when the game is taking place.

The year is 3180. For a history, follow Battletech Canon up through 3060: after that there was an attempt to rebuild the Star League, first under Melissa Steiner, then more successfully under her brother Victor. Victor brought in a brief Golden Age, but after his passing the League fell to corruption and avarice. The Nation States tried to take over again, but collapsed from the removal of the power and authority of the Star League.

Now most worlds function on their own, either under a one-world government or several. Aetrobus 5, an inhabitable planet in the binary Aetrobus system, has several governments which have been at war but are now cooperating in the face of a new common enemy: the bugs. The Planetary Defense Force has been created to deal with this threat, and the unit is being pulled together from several different nations.

One Aetrobus nation is a Revived Roman Republic, which will be sending at least one volunteer. If you want us to list, say, the German Socialist Republic as having been colonized largely by Germans, that might make a lot of the background you envision work?

The Romans are here? Well, then, would it be too much to ask for a revived German Empire?
 
Wait I just found out about the OOC and Lore pages, why aren’t they linked together? 😂

anyway, it looks like a pretty good set up for military to take over government aspect to do the whole Prussian “Where some states have an army, the Prussian Army has a state.” thing again

No, it wouldn't be too much to ask at all. In fact, I'd be delighted. Can you write me about half a page I can put in the lore so players know what to expect?

Only reason they are not linked is because I can't figure out how to do it. I need to link all the pages: I did it for my other game, but can't remember for this one. :(

Sorry: either I'm blind, or there's something you're showing me that I'm not seeing. I don't see any button, symbol or anything else that allows me to pull up the lines for inserting the file links. "Attach files" just tries to load files from my comp, the "Link" button apparently captures the page you're on, but doesn't let you link another page to it: I just don't see it... :(

You can’t link recruitment page to others (you can, however, link the recruit page in other pages lol)

I'm in the "lore" pages, trying to find a way to link anything at all. It just won't come up for me. Is it something that has to be done the very first time you create a page?

No, you can edit it
 
I like that image! He jumps into a Crosscut to save himself and a small village, they "donate" the mech to him to keep them safe, the Aetrobus Defense Force hears about and recruits him, toss him a shiny new mech and say "go to town!" I am thinking when he tries out the new mech, it's love at first sight...
Yes
