exosuit wars

[GHEIST]

Need pilots maybe a few scientists mechanics for a thread that involves near human size machine suits. The thread would involve mercenary squads of machine suits that fight for large corporations. I am starting this thread to see if there is any interest in such a thread if there is more posts with greater details will become available. If interested just make a post interested if I accept you then make a short thread detailing you’re pilot a short description and maybe a paragraph bio.

Mechs...very cool. And will it be in an Anime universe?



I found a mech too....

lol

 

[GHEIST]

yes animish no one guy wiping out an army and size would be more like 3 to 5 meter 9 t0 15 feet instead of 50......so more realitsic less arcade.....but there will be lasers and stuff...and if you have a cool idea i may let in a few supereapons....i was also toying will doll controll so one person could control more then one mech and loosing a mehc would not mena pilot death.

 

[Jagged]

I was actually thinking of a grease Monkey on this one...fixing gear and what not.

 

[GHEIST]

sounds good always need youre gear fixed maybe a mechanic arms dealer...

 

[Jagged]

Your giving me an idea...Perhaps a merchant with a few NPCs under his charge...mechanics, techs, prostitutes...A small supply ship that follows the players. And he might even get involved in combat.

 

[GHEIST]

sounds good i was thinking teams fight maybe you could support both teams...like in that movie with mech gladiators.

 

[GHEIST]

looking for some pilots
perhaps an anouncer/ref

I was debating the start of a mecha thread shortly. Not battle suites but 20 to 30ft mecha. But hey you snooze you loose. I am posting my interest.

 

[GHEIST]

lol i guess you do thanks for showing an intrest

 

[cats]

I was going to go researcher inventer but hey didn't read before me. Pilot is fine.

I am going to make one with gurps mecha but first a general test post.

*pulls out gurps mecha*

Dark Angel (tl 10)
Battle suite systems: Nueral interface, onboard computer, limited lifesupport, trauma maintence, NBC kit, basic comsuite.
Built in weapons: plamsa faust right arm, x-ray laser left arm.
Sensors: 2 mile range passive.
power plant: Nuclear, (1.65 kw)
Eangery banks: rechargeable 54k kw (33 for faust) right, 110k kw in left (13 seconds of fire)
Fuel tanks: 1 self sealing in each leg, each holds 1 gallon for 13 seconds of flight.
Features: Sealed enviorment, infrared cloaking, chamelon system.
Armor is a ceramic metal hybrid. (Extra streangth against explosives.)
Stats: 2.1 yards tall, 482.1 lbs (150lbs assumed pilot,) 13mph, flight speed 65 mph.

This is a bit small at 7 feet. I also picked the higher tech level of mecha to see what you'd coment on. Other possible options are a flare system, active sensors like radar and ladar, hand held weapons, plama swords, vibro blades, monowire weapons, contra grav, perhaps a fusion power plant, guass weapons, particle weapons, plasma weapons in general.

Interest

Depending on the base from which we start (Gundam vs. GURPS Mecha vs. Battletech vs. Exosquad vs. Home Brewed) I might be interested.

Once things firm up on which level we're doing and how we're going to run it, I'll throw my hat in officially.

(And I'm with cats, I was debating starting a Mech thread shortly (Battletech based), but I've been beaten to the punch. Mine goes on the back burner.)

 

[cats]

I don't expect to use gurps mecha but it seemed a valid way to generate a balanced mech. And gave me something to get info on, such can a npu be included or do we require batties, gas, and the like.

 

[GHEIST]

my idea was that there like fighter or an atatck helicopter flashy powerful but otherwise heavy on the maintenance and fuel hogs.....so yeah fuel cells for the arms legs maybe a back pack ammo for the guns and any jet packs are hops no pure flight and need fuel.

 

[MilkManDan007]

Gheist:

Anything big and mechanical, no matter what size, is going to need maintenance.

I'm used to the Battletech world, and the way we've always played is that the Mech goes in after just about every battle for rearm/refit/repair.

 

[cats]

So the 13 seconds of flight is an acurate feature. That is alot of small hops or reaching the top of one building quickly, stairs required for decent.

Auto cannons, rail guns, particle cannons, and plasma weapons. What works there.

 

[GHEIST]

metal storm
rail gun
coil gun
laser
masers
missiles
blades
chainsawa
drills
grasping claws
sheilds
that is no to a hundred years from now

no
plasma
patrticles

 

[cats]

Works for me.

 

[GHEIST]

i think one more person and we should have enough to at least get it started

need helpwith weapons

 

[PervySage]

count me in working on a mech

 

[GHEIST]

how to start it maybe an in charechter thread
