Dunno, aerospace is tricky due to atmospheric conditions

And i´ll calculate that with the oxygen limit tomorrow

And therefore basically the most important person on the mission. You think a bunch of trigger Jocks are going to know how to restart a bio dome?

This x a lot

"THIS ONE GOES THERE, THAT ONE GOES THERE! GOT IT?"
Someone have a space for the tech to ride? Something that is armored hopefully?

Baaasically what it's going to be like lol.

I can't wait

[Aegis Fate]

I get to yell at all of you on how to fix the stuff and wonder what kind of a hellish assignment I get then. Tech specialist AWAYYYYYY!

Alternatively for the map, we can use an image like these: 1, 2, 3. (I like 2 and 3 the most)
I can easily shoop them with additional terrain features, or even blend them together.

So, in coming up with my character I went with my usual method of rolling one up on the CBTRPG thingy. Results are in the spoiler for lulz.

lol. I wish I had my 'A Time of War' RPG book, I'd make a character and get back to you guys two days from now when I get done.

[dal10]

you can ride in mah apc. I don't think we are going to be able to take the HSJ with just 472 tons of stuff. the omen plus an assault tank if we take oni's is 185 tons. plus the apc 235. and if we take my lariot, it is 295. we might want a slightly bigger dropship if we want to take even half of what has been thrown around. I don't mind not taking the HSJ however.

Bio time


Lariot LAR-1A - 60 tons

crew -4

Driver - Jake Daily
Commander - (Mike Hawk) jk Darius Lee
Radio Man - Larry Baker
Sensor Dude - Steve

The Crew of the Lariot is unusual in that they had never met each other prior to crewing the tank. All 4 were in a poker match with the previous owner of the tank. By some miracle, or cheating as they can never agree on it, all four men pulled a royal flush, one of each suit. Instead of playing another hand of poker to decide who would get the tank, they crewed it together. They never regretted it

Extra Skills

Jake - Deductive reasoning
Darius - Underwater welding (seems like a useful skill)
Larry - Big Game Hunter- carries an Elephant gun with him
Steve - Dumb Luck- seriously no one knows how he hasn't accidentally killed himself yet.

this is the interesting crew. If I am only taking the APC I will do one for that crew, just don't have time to do both atm.

[ChaosGrinder]

Errr, you don´t need to post TT-chars We won´t use TT rules


And the Dropship is there as a limiting factor, so _everyone_ thinks twice about weight

Sooo, i think i´ve figured out a way of limiting oxygen fair Hopefully.

A normal Person can carry oxygen for one hour, suit for hostile contitions for 2 hours. 10 tons on a vehicle are 5 hours oxygen. May be easy for the beginning, but who knows, where we´re getting to You can however fill remaining tonnage with oxygen supply, 300kg= 1 hour of air.

What do you think, is this fair ?

Btw, if you´re out of air and a buddy with a mask is around, you can, if the mask is made for that ( like covers nose and mouth) share your air, but yours will deplete faster. If you´re out of air, you can hold your breath up to a certain time, then you will fall unconscious and, if you are VERY unlucky, you may die.

[dal10]

what are mechs at oxygen-wise? also, I still think we should have a scout mech with your omen. Especially since we are avoiding to many heavy units on this drop.

Edited by dal10, 17 October 2012 - 11:47 AM.

[ChaosGrinder]

30 hours, 1 hour for every additional 250kg you want to spend on oxygen tanks
I can spend 4 more hours (1 ton) out there

Dunno, if noone wants to play a scout, i´m fine with that

[dal10]

We could have Aegis pilot something like an Ocelot. That way he doesn't have to hitch a ride in some vehicle.

[Aegis Fate]

But I don wanna pilot, I wanna fix!
But seriously, I'd be an interesting little dynamic for everyone to be total badasses with stuff and just me, standing there, yelling at everyone to fix the damn biodome........

[ChaosGrinder]

Would be cool too A Scout would be usefull, for sure
