Yup!

Out of the 20 left, we've taken out 14 so far.

Sounds great! Time to head home for a beer! Our job is done, right? Right?

I think the name of the thread implies you’re in for the long haul.

If you watched the show or read the novels, between Saturn and Mars the SDF-1 is attacked constantly for three days. I am thinking of running this so that the players are in a different veritech for each sortie so that as players you can experience combat in the different sub variants of the VF-1.

Also their is a third wave of anti ship missiles….

But the good news is that it looks like after I post for the 4 birds from the 90th the second wave of missiles are done for.

Will try to get something up tooor tomorrow

Adar would likely be better served using his nose lasers, since they are the new versions and have 10x the range of a GU-11 and 20x the range of the 20mm and head lasers.

Most of us, especially those in the AM birds have those new lasers. (40,000ft range vs 4,000ft for a GU-11 or 20mm, and 2,000ft for a bog standard (old) head/nose laser.) Which is why Aksa ordered those to be used.

Trust me, it wasn't me as a player trying to play Tin God.

:P

Saw this today in feed.

Damn that looked cool. Wonder if it was handmade?

In reply to Aksa Tikkanen (msg # 556):

Don’t forget that a kinetic energy weapon (bullets) will just keep going in space until affected by the gravitational pull of something.

So in theory what the NPC is saying is “we can thrown rocks at extreme range and may get some before we merge/pass the missiles”.


Edit: GU-11 has a range of 32,000 feet in space (4000x8) and that’s just effective range where you can easily hit a mecha sized target. Firing beyond that enacts penalties but not like it would in atmosphere (-1 to strike per 100 meters/300 feet), and I’d be inclined to use the same x8 rule in space so -1 per 2400 feet.  Toss in a weapon systems roll and factor in your strike bonus you can reach out pretty far with a GU-11.

I think the QQ was a kit, but the Pods were scratch built.

Fair, regards the bullets. Would there be a higher chance of hitting (assuming ABM has a prox fuze)

The lower range listed for them gave me pause (1600ft) unless I wad reading that wrong.

In reply to Aksa Tikkanen (msg # 560):

The ABM may have less range but still a better chance to hit because it’s basically a flack round. So they’d blow up and the missile traverses through the debris felid and the law of “item traveling at velocity of X hits an object suffers damage based upon size of object and X”

Sorry just utilizing some of the higher level math a physics courses I took but don’t get to use as a financial systems guru.

Just a reminder. I will be out of the country from today until 5 MAY.

My posting will spotty at best.

Ok thanks for the heads up

Gawd.... the RNG is murdering us this wave...

Not really. I don’t see anyone getting blown up or having to eject.

Better to have the RNG screw you over when your not getting shot at then when you are.

So we should make the same rolls for wave 3?

Yes please

Ok, I used up a bunch of shit rolls for you guys.

Rest of you should be able to beat them now!


I need a drink...

Marines are funny.



Could be Army, but my money is on Marines. :P

That is a round Multi-cam cover and not a pointed MARPAT cover.

So it is either US Army or National Guard. If National Guard they could be Marines that joined the Guard.

Welp, SDF-1 might be screwed after this run :(

Yeah I might have to have an Invid Hive ship show up, or maybe a Mechanoid Cruiser show up to take the heat off you.

If either happens it’ll be a three way fight.

The arial combat account doesn’t occur until 23-25 minutes into the video.

But it is epic considering how much ‘guns time’ pilots had back in WWII.

BTW who else has watched ‘Masters of the Air’?

Haven't seen Masters of the Air yet but I am looking forward to it.

Saw that one! :)

You know, One could make the argument that given the various ages of some of us, we fall under the header of 'Old Age and Treachery'.
