Hon. Mechwarriors;

Here's a bit of pony fer yer trouble.



As for the hypothetical Harvester/Inner Sphere battle, the Inner Sphere would not be inconvienienced by the harvesters in the slightest.

There are thousands upon thousands of jumpships plying the stars in 3025. Each of these could bear up to 10 dropships apiece. Each of these dropships could be outfitted thusly
AeroTech 2 Vessel Technical Readout
Class/Model/Name: Reaper Of The Harvest Tech: Inner Sphere / 3025 Vessel Type: Spheroid DropShip Rules: Level 1, Standard design Mass: 100,000 tons Length: 239 meters Power Plant: Standard Safe Thrust: 2 Maximum Thrust: 3 Armor Type: Standard Armament: 800 Large Laser

For 5 billion C-Bills a single jumpship could put 18000 Large Lasers on target in a single second of a high closeing speed engagement.

Thats ten 800 gun batteries with 2500 heavy fighters for escourt. Mass Effect economics just don't hold a candle to FASAnomics, just about nothing in literature does, come to think of it.

Thanks for the idea though.

Ohmygosh! I just can see Derpy piloting that thing. Where can I find shelter? The world as we know it will come to an end.

The Inner Sphere has Aerospace Fighters... such things, as far as I am aware, are not available in the Mass Effect universe and tracking them with capitol-sized weaponry has also been shown to be a goddam ***** when a frigate is hard to hit.

They are not shown, but the ME-Universe does, infact, have spacefighters. They are mentioned somewhere in the bits and pieces about history and technology in ME-1.

Hon. Mechwarriors;

The life of an adventurer in Skyrim is a precarious thing in the early days. The advantages that acrue to the arcane and the archer have yet to mature, but a good whack in melee will certainly get the job done. It's for this reason that Applejack's strength and endurance would see her over the critical hump of the first few levels.



While most adventurers have trouble finding and affording an appropriate mount, Applejack enjoyed some substantial early advantages hauling her Huscarl as she redifined fast travel leaving unwanted encounters in the dust.



Her early success did tend to show in subtle ways as her vanity found new excuses for her expression.



Being the practical, level headed pony, she never overlooked an opportunity to adventure within a party.



Applejack is the quintescential adventurer, but her common sense and hard work are likely to lead to an early retirement.

So is there going to be a merc unit?

[Ryokochan]

There are already 2 active Pony merc units; Eridani Light Pony(ELP) and Equestrian Royal Guard(ERG) . Check each out and see which one fits you.

[Cordovan Splotch]

Hmmm... I'll have to name one of my mechs Sweetie Bot and set lower arm actuators to "hug"!

[William Petersen]

Naturally you mean set your *lasers* to "hug". ^_~

That could very well work too, but I figured since I actually would have lower arm actuators (or at least I would in humanoid mechs) I might as well set those to hug. Would that make a Sweetie Bot Mech a brawler type mech?

[William Petersen]

I'd say so, yes. You should make it a Kodiak. So you could give Bear Hugs. The puns have been doubled!

Hahah! Nice one.
Oh... I figure I should get this out of the way immediately. Sweetie Belle is my favorite pony even though I realize the fact that Rarity is best pony. Luna is best Princess... best human is a tie between Tara Strong, Tabitha St. Germain and Lee Tockar... let's see, what else is there... oh right! If I had to choose a waifu (not a term I usually hold dearly) it'd be Gilda the Gryphon.

And here's an offering of pony from my own small fanart collection:
