Dice Robotech: Army of the Southern Cross - OOC thread

[Purr]

I'm good with someone else having medical knowledge. Thanks for asking.

You're welcome! It's what Dannigans do.

 

[Purr]

I have shortened and edited my previous post for the sake of gameplay. =)

 

[Purr]

Time for another post! =)

 

[Purr]

We kin haz more posting here? Lest good ol' GunMan2 think we up and forgot about him? =)

 

[Psychie]

I'll post IC later on today.

 

[Purr]

Hooraaay! =) Thank you, Psychie!

 

[Purr]

Has everyone provided their preferences for personal loadouts? Is there anything we're waiting for before (still nameless) 3rd JSOG deploys?

 

[Sherwood]

I've got mine all set. I think we're ready.

 

[GunMan2]

Nope i think i already did say what i am using

 

[Purr]

Psychie Does that mean we're ready to go? Are you or do you need time?

 

[Psychie]

I've had a few busy days, but I'll have an IC post up soon.

 

[Purr]

Hooray! =)

 

[Purr]

Kitty? Nova? You two are our local experts on this. What might we be dealing with here? What is this new variable?"

Psychie Given Miyazaki's background, experience, and skillset, what does she know about this, if anything?

 

[Psychie]

She would know that the big guns on the ships of the Zentraedi fleet have the firepower to do the damage to take down a mecha in one hit, but it is not designed to be able to target small, fast moving objects like that. In order to hit a small target, either short range missiles are used or the ship relies upon its own mecha complement to protect it. The guns are just too big.

But, you do know that the Defender Destroid is a dedicated air defense platform, and it has a powerful and very accurate radar that is designed to be able to sweep air targets and missiles out of the sky. If there was a way to integrate the Defender's radar to the heavy guns of the Zentraedi ships, it would be very nasty for any air target over the whole of the Control Zone.

 

[Purr]

Merry Christmas everyone! Whatever you do or don't celebrate, have a safe and great time, willya? =)

 

[Psychie]

Merry Christmas to all! I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I have not forgotten about the game, and once all the craziness of the day is over, we'll be proceeding along.

 

[Sherwood]

No worries, my friend Psy! We're still here.

 

[GunMan2]

Marry late christmas you guys.

 

[Purr]

Hope you had a good New Year's, GunMan2 ! =)

 

[GunMan2]

Happy New Year to all of you

Finally, Nova crouches down and points ahead at a set of sandbags concealed by camouflage netting. A slight bit of movement signals that there is someone hidden in the machine gun nest.

Are you planning on using the SDC or MDC rounds for this, and do you fire a single round or a burst?

Psychie I don't know yet. Identifying a potential target is key to success in my mind. Kitty has not identified the target. All we know at the moment is that "someone hidden" is in the nest. Are they wearing a Mega-suit? Are they alone? What are they doing? Who do they appear to be? Stuff like that.

If questions like these don't get answered, Kitty could find herself firing S.D.C. rounds into a target wearing a Mega-suit, or fire on a target currently in conversation over a radio (which could alert whomever is on the other end), or realize that her target isn't a bad guy but a captured human chained to the machine-gun (a tactic sometimes used by the Vietnamese during the Vietnam war so the gunner couldn't run away). Know what I mean? =)

I would like for Kitty to watch from afar from a concealed position to find out what 3rd JSOG is up against before she opens fire.

 

[Sherwood]

I don't suppose we have any image enhancement capabilities in our hardsuits?

 

[Purr]

I checked my Character sheet prior to posting - Kitty has nothing but her eyes. I don't remember the last time we were able to request gear for a recon operation or I'd go for one of those trusty Multi-optics helms! Never leave home without it! Unless, of course, you're just a lowly corporal or something. Heh! =)

 

[Purr]

Hey Sherwood! Thanks for the Well-written on my post, bud! =)

Purr , those are quite reasonable observations to make, and I'll get to that in a moment IC.

First off, I am going to make the Executive Declaration that the helmets of the ASC Megasuits you all have incorporate the sensor enhancements of the Multi-Optics Helmet in them as a matter of course. I will add the MOH description to the posted stats of the armor in the Lore tab soon.

Now I'll head to the IC thread to post what Kitty can see with her observations.
