Dice Robotech - Southern Cross Adventure - OOC

[Rykon]

If Heg is a no go how about Her August Majesty? Or Ham for short.

I had a longer one in mind, but Hamburger is a bit much. Such a title requires a bit more time. =P

 

[Purr]

The only reason she wants to be called by such a title at all is because she's hung around Sherwood so long. *tease tease* =)

 

[Purr]

Psychie was always such a sweet and innocent RPer before Sherwood, maybe myself, and RP Nation this game came along.... Yeah, that's it!

 

[D. Rex]

Psychie Does the squad still have access to the jump packs from the other mission?

 

[Purr]

Rykon Hey, Deunan and Marlon have the PPCs so Alan still has to choose his Spartas loadout for his 105mm, right?

 

[Rykon]

I'm just going to use the same ammo composition as last time. I rather liked that ratio in the event I get to meltdown more of their hardware with plasma rounds.

 

[Sherwood]

Gabi put together her standard gear (as listed on her character sheet) and then made a requisition for the following missile payload:
4 Plasma/Napalm short-range missiles - 2d6x10 M.D., 3 mile range, 15 foot radius, 5 M.D.C.
2 Fragmentation short-range missiles - 2d4x10 M.D. at a 3 mile range and 20 foot radius. 5 M.D.C.
Electronic Warfare Pod with additional Chaff/Flare bundles.

Don't forget that you have four weapon points on your wings, not just two. Just trying to help.

 

[Purr]

Sherwood That is four weapon hardpoints (per Robotech Masters Saga Sourcebook, page 49). Remember that the amount an Ajax can carry in this game and in my game are quite different. Thanks, though!

 

[Sherwood]

Hm. I thought that Psychie was using the same modified 3 medium/5 shorts/15 mini missile arrangement. I guess we wait for her call on that.

 

[Purr]

When did she say that?

 

[Sherwood]

Not sure . . . Perhaps it is just wishful thinking on my part.

 

[Purr]

/rant on

Well, you won't see me arguing if she sticks with the book. She's given us PPCs and EU-11A and Bs for the tanks, dual ion (almost typed 'iron'!) cannons for the Ajaxes, cobalt mines, and pretty much everything else we've asked for. Plus, damned if I know how Marlon and Alan have automatic grenade launchers in those little Spartas cockpits, but if she's cool with it, who am I to complain? It's her game! Not like she's telling me what to do in mine, right? =)

/rant off =)

 

[Rykon]

We wouldn't really be heavy weapons specialists if we didn't get to haul around heavy weapons after all.

 

[D. Rex]

Also the launchers are in the cargo storage.

 

[D. Rex]

We wouldn't really be heavy weapons specialists if we didn't get to haul around heavy weapons after all.

True dat.

 

[D. Rex]

Oh! And the Spartas has open cockpits. We could theoretically carry one in the trunk. And dual wield one in each hand and drive with our feet.

Might even do more damage than our main cannons :p

 

[Purr]

Also the launchers are in the cargo storage.

While I am certainly not one to refuse heavy gunners in our party, do tell? What cargo storage in the Spartas? Ha ha!

(Per Masters Saga Sourcebook, page 52) "Cargo: Just enough for a rifle, survival pack and a pair of binoculars."

I see a loophole we can use, though! What they don't tell you is that pair of binoculars? Well, they are Zentraedi-sized binoculars! Yeah, that's it! Plenty of room! 8D

Seriously, friends. I think we have a generous Game Master (which beats the living heck out of having a stingy one...). Color me appreciative. At this stage in the game, I didn't think we'd have as much as we have now. =)

 

[Purr]

In completely-unrelated news, I think this is the coolest thing I've seen all week... =)

Spoiler: Must Share Da Cool

We Put a Vulcan Cannon On a Prius.

 

[D. Rex]

Third Heavy likes junk in the trunk.

And it was under the reason of switching the rifle for that.



And indeed! Psychie is most gracious best queen GM. The Heg of all Hegs. (Opinion will vary depending on who is GM in whichever rp OOC I am giving this compliment in)


Though I'm sure she will make is pay for it. Death is coming.

 

[Sherwood]

Speaking of junk in the trunk, I looked at the write-up of the Ajax that Psychie posted in the Lore section, and it does come with the 3/5/15 assortment of missiles.

 

[Purr]

Hooray! So it wasn't mentioned after all because it was in Lore all this time! Thanks, Sherwood! =)

 

[Sherwood]

Not a problem! Hell, having the extra missiles on your wings may just save our bacon in this upcoming fight.

 

[Psychie]

Wow. So many posts, so little time. Yes, I used the extra missile payload for the Ajax to help out.

 

[Psychie]

Hey Purr , it looks like you are still short on your missile selection for your Ajax. Each one of your hard points can carry 5 short range missiles, so with one spot being taken up by the EW Pod, you have room enough for fifteen missiles if you go for all short range ones.

 

[Purr]

Copy. Thanks, Psychie . I believe you also mentioned to Illya that the EW Pod in your game carries additional bundles of chaff and flares? If so, how many? What precisely does the EW pod do in your game and which skills does one require to operate it?

EDIT: My in-game post is updated. Thanks again. =)

EDIT: I found the post. It's 12 additional flares. I am guessing it also provides an equal amount of chaff packets given the context of the posts.
