Futuristic NCQuest: Mecha flavored action, OOC

[Windsock]

What kinds of information do the handlers have access to? For example, how are they seeing the action and able to provide feedback/guidance? Satellite imagery? Reconnaissance drones? Spotters with binoculars, haha?

I've been wondering that for a while, but it seems super important right now.

You can generally presume that Handlers can at least see some of what their attached Linkers are seeing, having a link to the NC itself from which they're downloading sensor information. Since their attached NC transportation vehicles are always nearby and we can assume those have sensors of their own, you can go with the assumption that they have at least mediocre radar or other information from those too. And in some cases they'll have access to more stuff.

Thank you for the question, I'll try to make the answer to this question per-operation more explicit in the future.

Sometimes I ask myself that same question, Hardpoint.

Working on things but at a slower pace than I expected, just a bit tired today. I'll try to get it out today but I promise it'll be tomorrow at the absolute latest.

 

[Windsock]

I tried to take a break but I ended up clonking out for an hour. Managed to get something out though, hope it's enjoyable.

If anyone wants to get a word in before Streuben, go for it. Insulting him, or just asking the seniors questions. I won't be writing a post today, no sleep.

I made things a little more interesting and gave Chimera a chance to land the killshot.

Very interesting! I thought Cammy would instantly start ripping things out.

 

[Viper Actual]

You and me both, boss.

 

[SkyHawk MK IV]

I'll try to whip up a post, see how far I get.

She's too busy destroying her own NC to destroy other stuff, haha. I figured this was better than both of us going overkill on a single target.

Although it does raise the question of how she's gonna get out of the facility. I don't know if the explosives the Sons left behind are going to destroy the entire facility or if the distant explosion she heard was the only one. If it's the former, she needs to bring that lift down somehow. With one jet engine already literally on fire, there's no way Raijin is gonna outrun a chain of explosive charges.

On the other hand, maybe they're only destroying the control room and servers and whatnot and Raijin can just casually walk out the same way she came in... but while on fire... because that's what heroes do.

I'd like for you to post if you would!

 

[Malphaestus]

YsFanatic , will you be adressing Streuben? Because if so, I'll wait, but if not, I'll begin writing.

 

[YsFanatic]

Malphaestus I am not. Adam is asking a question of the observers.

 

[Malphaestus]

Then I will begin writing.

Speedy posting today it seems.

 

[Malphaestus]

Many posts a day keeps sadness at bay.

An RP a day keeps Corona away.

 

[Malphaestus]

Posted again, though admittedly with some difficulty.

 

[SkyHawk MK IV]

I'll drop a post tomorrow morning, it is getting a tad late.

 

[AnonyMouse]

Interesting. I'll get a post up today.
