High End OOC V-Beyond the Time Paradox

[oslecamo]

My cohort is now a Module Pilot.  Techno Thief was turning into way too many choices and options once creation is done.  My main character is too complicated for me to have a cohort who is also complicated.   

Os, can you tell me if the game is expected to stay within the basic area that it's been in so far?  I took Heaven-Sailing Dragon because it sounded really cool but now it feels like I might better use that feat (and Born to Fight) somewhere else.

Most of the action's been around Ragol, but there's been travel to other planets already and I relatively recently threw a bunch of plot hooks in far away places so Heaven Sailing Dragon should be pretty useful.

Although eventually where the party goes depends in the party's own decisions so don't blame me if they decide to stick to Ragol despite my best attempts to photonroad them. 

[Raineh Daze]

I haven't wanted to leave Ragol before because we lacked viable transport.

[YuweaCurtis]

Lol, I pretty much haven't had the chance to go elsewhere. The only reason I don't have Heaven Sailing Dragon is space issues myself... Even if we did have to stay on Ragol I'd imagine there would still be situations running elsewhere may come in handy.

[Raineh Daze]

Not to discount the utility of having planetary level communications jamming.

[Nanshork]

Sounds like I should keep it. I need one more feat, Humongous Ship is looking more and more like where I should go

I'm going to replace a Neo Skill to boost my AC, replace a Module because the Neo Skill overwrites it, and then I'm as good as I can get (I'm going to have to increase my ship size and tank my AC, especially if everyone wants to be in my ship at the same time for me to set up party communication).

 

[Raineh Daze]

How much size do we need to fit?

[Nanshork]

All of you at the same time if you want to make use of the communication part of Heaven Sailing Dragon. 

Plus my cohort and followers (which are mostly going to be fine sized it looks like).

You're Fine, Ketaro is Medium, Kuro is Small, and Yuwea is Medium without counting his cohort

[Raineh Daze]

So without Yuwea's cohort, we need space for just over two medium mecha. Which needs a huge battleship which is its default size?

Plus the hundreds of followers that I have which will all be Mecha size.

You're forgetting them. I can't even fit a third of them in with the actual party.

[Raineh Daze]

Hundreds of mecha sized followers? O_o

I mean, yes, if you wanted to cart around an army, you'd naturally need to be bigger.

[YuweaCurtis]

No need to count Stephanie's mecha either.

This is a Mecha game, what else would my followers be? 

[Raineh Daze]

... portable support crew?

[Nanshork]

But Support Staff are Mecha classes. 

[Nanshork]

Os, how much do you want me to stat out my Officers?

[Nanshork]

 

Humongous Ship has been taken, my ship is now Colossal +++. My followers have also been chosen, and I can fit the entire party plus Yuwea's ship cohort plus all of my followers and cohort.

Possibly also all of Yuwea's followers too depending on their size.

Damarius has been hired for mass evacuations, I can guarantee this.  I have a Colossal ship in my ship.

Os, how much do you want me to stat out my Officers?

Name and rank/job is the minimum, spirits if they're gonna use those too. If a scenario comes where you're knocked out and the 2nd officer needs to take over, I guess you can fill the rest then fast enough.

Also need to consider how you're going to join in. Simplest would be either you were hired by some other organization (or maybe the Android Administration hiring both White Raven and the Hunter's Guild) to check things out at the current location or you went out of your initiative to see if you could find any business there, either way you run in the party at the moment just in time for big exposition. I'm open to other ideas (maybe Arodatam herself hired you through proxies?).

[Nanshork]

I'll do everything for them but gear, that should be simple enough.

Ugh, I just realized that I can't hit anything.  I turtled too much.  No easy way to add Cha to attack or ignore size penalties to attack so my ship is probably going to lose the shield to gain an attack bonus arsenal.

Leader should apply to me too, that would fix my numbers and let me take fun arsenal choices.   


There are three reasons that I would be in the area.
1) Somebody hired me.  I'd work for anyone that isn't explicitly evil or hiring me to destroy a planet or something.
2) I've heard that there might be good business.  With a ship this size and an army Damarius wouldn't just sit around waiting to be contacted.  Butting your way into jobs is good for business.
3) I heard that there was trouble and people might need help.  Damarius also knows that being a hero is good for business, reputations matter!  I think I remember something about lots of people disappearing but I haven't been paying close attention to the game because there's a lot of text.

[Nanshork]

After all of that I'm going to be multiclassing with Super Pilot after all.   

Great One - Great Targeting is pretty much mandatory.

I've done too much math today, I think that'll be tomorrow, plus finishing my cohort and statting my officers.


Update: I had unexpected motivation.  Everything is done except for my cohort's gear and mecha.  Officers are finished except I didn't do maneuvers, spirits, or gear (none of those can be used while they're officer-ing).

I think everything that's complete is good but it should probably be double checked, I found some math issues in my battleship.

[Nanshork]

Nothing like being bored at work and making adjustments to my army. I'm pretty happy with it now.
