I was thinking that we were defending the biodome... Are we? I was thinking about being an X Com* ROM agent who left the order because he couldn't keep his d**k in his pants. It's what led him to be posted in such a miserable place to begin with, but he still gave in to his lust and eventually started his own family on Planet _________. He's trained in bunches of skills but no battlemech training. And he's kind of old so he won't be John Wooing it all kinds. But he's still highly trained and dangerous.



Thom, the way I read the story was, planet stopped reporting, we get dropped off to see why, we find base in disrepair, we fix base, we call for help, bad guys answer call, we fight bad guys, eventually we get picked up

I like that, fixing the base and having to work together before we all suffocate would be cool to write, as well as the initial search of the base.

Chaos seems to indicate not all is as it seems in the base...

which is why we have BA, one of my characters is bringing an elephant gun however. modify the ammo with a bit of oxygen in it so it can burn, should work. lets see any wildlife handle a shot from that.

We´re mercs as well as soldiers. But i guess most of us are mercs, so we´re hired. But we´re hired professionals :D

Te first few days will be in the base, but that base has it´s secrets too, and eventually we´ll venture to the outside :D

And because you´re Thom and i know you, you can play all three, just don´t overdo it :P But i trust you :D For now Ö_Ö

Just use WP, no oxygen needed.

I was planning on wearing the assault-class Golem armour. Slow, but well protected.

With hard to find clasps: "How do I get out of this chicken s*** outfit?"

LOL allegence confusion strikes again. Dal wants to do the Tank thing not I.

Okay so we drop onto the planet, check out the biodome, fix it and the HPG relay. Then dig in to defend against whatever Woobies perhaps?

Okay, Com* guy get's put away for some other time....

I'm thinking about being PA too. I wanna be one of the cool kids. :P

well if murphy is going assault armor, I don't think the transport is going to be able to fit anything more than it currently is.

Keep in mind : Hydrogen atmosphere ;D Better stay away with oxygen outside of your lungs :P

Noooow, to sumarize this up : We´ll meet at the Dropship first, then we´ll be dropped on Skyfall and we have to search for the base. Dropship will be : http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Taihou

Keep in mind that this thing only has 472 tons of cargo, so we can´t take 100000 tons of Steiner scout lance (ATLAI) with us. But i guess we have that covered. More important though is oxygen support. What do you think of the following : Each vehicle/mech has a limited supply of Oxygen( for x hours), if that´s used up, you´ll start to suffocate. So we would have to find the base to recharge our oxygen-supplies. Like it ?

Btw, would someone be so kind and give me feedback on my char ? :S I´m kinda unsure .


Name : Triss

Age : 28

Callsign : Pepper

Mech : Custom Omen

Loadout : 4 ER Med Lasers, 1 ER Large Laser atm 12, lb-10x, ams and Jumpjets.

Faction : Born Snow Raven, left the clan years ago and won´t talk about it.

Appereance : Ginger and short, freckles, curly hair, glasses. She mostly wears Latex clothing

Short Bio : Being born to one of the higher ranks of the Warrior caste she was an exile, outcast because she was a freebirth.
Never really accepted into society she had to fight with being an outsider. Working hard, she never reached her goal:
Becomming a real MechWarrior. The incidents following her failure lead her to a difficult decision, leaving her clan or enduring a life in disgrace.
She left her clan. But she did not leave without taking revenge. But she was not alone. Her younger sister decided to escape with her,
as she was a freeborn too. They managed to steal money and passkeys to get an off-world transport, but after they arrived at Solaris,
Triss lost her sister. Fighting in the arenas for money, she managed to scratch herself a living, until a man named Jim invited her to join
a merc squad called the Rayonors Raiders. Here she found what she was looking for. Acceptance, friendship, family. She soon adapted to the new surroundings
and unlearned her clan-doctrines almost completely, though a good pinch of talkativity and a weird sense of humor are still there.
Owning a decomissioned Locust she won during one of her arena matches, she accepted and soon found
herself amidst trained soldiers and mech pilots with decades of experience. She learned fast and soon was able to join the official part of the team,
those, who accepted missions from companies or rich businessmen. But aside from that, the Raiders also pulled of robberies, stole military equipment
and sold it on the black market. Her luck failed her however, as she lost her mech during one of those raids and was nearly captured by lyran security.
Having no functioning vehicle, she thought her time at the Raiders was over, when something happened, she would have never dreamed of.
Her sister contacted her after 5 years of radio silence. She managed to get hold of Triss´ biggest dreams: A Mech. And it was not simply any mech,
it was a custom Omen, normally invaluable for someone like Triss, her sister was able to come into money. Wealthy as she was, she used the mech as a
late "Thank you" for helping her escaping to Solaris. Since this day, her sister remained silent again.

Since then, she has accepted a lot of missions and worked for a lot of companies and employers. As the Raiders are a loose bond and members are free to
work alone, Triss has ensigned to a well-paid mission to Skyfall, an inhospitable rock somewhere at the edges of the inner sphere.


Weeee, Infantry assault :D This is going to be cool :3

Thinking about the Capellan BA. all I need is something metal and I'll attach to it, and I can deploy mines!

But the Kage armor looks pretty awesome too. Decisions decisions...

Right, being the only person who wants to not be equipped in a suit of battle armor or piloting a tank, I take the role as random generic tech....

I can ride on top, my suit specifically has an environmental package and armored gloves, so I can sit on top if need be.

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?

restarting the base will challenge all of us. A powered-down reactor is a serious issue :P Not to talk about other things that need to be done.
But what do you think about the limited air supply ?

Be careful on how you decide to limit/implement the limited air-supply, too much and its easy, too little and we all die.
First I'd say you should decide how far away the base is from where we land, and then decide how far away we think it is.

And to touch of the Aerospace Jockey I mentioned before, I'm thinking an old, heavily modified Shiva, or an Ostrogoth, also heavily customized.
If Aerospace turns out to not be needed, I can run something else, been playing with the SSK, even though I've never played the BattleTech TT, so chunks of it don't mean much to me. Even so, I think I have a 'legal' vehicle I created.
Speaking of which, how does one gets the stats out of that program into the format y'all have been posting here?

EDIT: Chaos, this Mary Sue Character Test is generally what I use to decide if my characters are good enough for me, it can be pretty brutal, so don't take what the test says too hard, if you decide to use it.
