CthulhuTECH: EVA and HPL s'mored in awesomesauce

[NotoriusBEN]

NES Victory Mech Loadout:

Engels:
     Chasmal
     Cherub
     Hamshell

Sword Class:
     Broadsword x5
     Claymore x3
     Gladius x3
     Saberx1
     Scimitarx1

     Khopeshx3
     Xiphos x1
     Falcatax3

Nazzadi Class
     Eclipse x3
     Brushfire x3
     Storm x2
     Blizzard x1

There are also a bunch of other aircraft and support vehicles within the hangers. The mecha choices partly reflect the choices of the players. Since the Cherub is an artillery engel, there are fewer artillery mecha within the Victory. As far as splitting between Nazzadi and Sword Class Mecha... Sword class is meant to take a beating, the Eclipse and Brushfires are the fastest and stealthiest so that is what the choices are. 2 Storms round out the Nazzi choices since they are multi-capable mecha.

[ReijiTabibito]

Good choices.  Although I'm kinda surprised to see so many Eclipses and Brushfires onboard and not a single Blizzard.  Or a Hurricane.  Fast the Rapier might be, but...oh, wait.  We've got Eclipses to chase down and see Stealth Migou armor.  NVM.

EDIT:  BEN, how many pilots are there aboard the Victory?

[ShadowFox89]

 Can't wait to get started with this. I think NGE style plugsuits would work fairly well for Engel suits

[NotoriusBEN]

Woops, your right, reiji, the eclipse fills out the rapier's job. I'll switch it with 1 blizzard.

Now the interesting thing, its that there are quite a few power armors onboard (the tiny mecha) but those are for the soldiers onboard the Victory.

There are enough pilots onboard for all mecha and engels to be deployed. (engel pilots are the characters, only). The number of mecha onboard the Victory are what she can fully deploy in an engagement. Im taking liberties in thinking that there are plenty of spare parts lying around to fix these mecha after some substantial fighting. Heavier engagements may for the technicians to cannabalize parts and thus, fewer mecha would be available.

I just dont buy that there are 32 mechs onboard solely to be cannabalized for parts for the favorite pilots onboard.

[ReijiTabibito]

Okay.  So there at least 32 pilots.  Fair enough.  I'm just thinking that if we go into a full engagement, and I want to drive a Claymore, for example, then someone will have to take over the Brushfire that I normally use.

Kakarembo is standing by.

I got some stuff ready for my eldritch society game tonight. 

It will be set in Kansas city, where Chralis corperation has just pushed for and won the NEG contract to build a new archology. 

Why were they so eager, and what scary things will we find in the old heartlands of America. 

I have house rules for building starting parasychics that can keep up, and one guy has already signed on with a technokinetic concept. 

No one grabbed the slot for a White yet.

I'd kind of like motorcycles to be a theme.

GAME THREAD IS UP.
I'll have the OOC chat up tomorrow along with the character sheet thread.
I'll also make sure to link it all to the front pages.

Flex your writing chops with chewing up the targets and getting into character. I'll get the rest of the stuff going after I get some sleep.

[ShadowFox89]

 Updated Ethnia's personality and added an insanity point tracker to the sheet. I figure she's got a bit of a personality issue.


edit: Do you want us rolling agility, or just taking pot-shots at the mecha?

[Muse]

Mine's up too!  "You all know this story," not "Miami Beach Blues".

Course, we still need characters. 

[ShadowFox89]

 Posted my interest in there.

I really wish there was a description of the pilot's cavity within an Engel. Is it like a normal cockpit? Do they take from NGE and have a chamber filled with liquid? Does a pilot get completely surrounded by the flesh of the Engel, moving through thought alone?

[Latooni Subota]

Hrm, I don't think I'm gonna have time to get this done any time soon, I think. I might have to bail out for the time being. I just can't find the damn time to sit down, open the book, and CREATE a proper character. x.o

[Muse]

*Waves* 

Any way I can help, Latooni?" 

[ShadowFox89]

 I can help too ^^'

Though this is only my second C-Tech game.

[Aoife]

What is everyone's rank?  We probably need a CO for missions.

I'm running a Captain (specialist knowledge, tactical mindset).

[ShadowFox89]

Ethnia I believe is lieutenant grade.

[Muse]

 Sean had two points in the rank background, putting him at the same level as the default engle pilot. 

  Not sure how Ben wants to run that.

the details ive been able to find are thus:
fluid filled
very small/cramped
at leased partially organic/the walls seem to be
theres one story that mentions the pilot touching the wall, so its not so cramped that the walls hug you, but the walls are close enough to touch. the way its infereced seems to suggest theres no equipment in the engel cockpit (unlike the mech one), and tactical data/input/visuals are displayed inside the helmet. controls seem to be mental
