mech wars, the rise of man

[flapjack]

It is the year 4586, in the year 4232 mankind developed an inter-galactic drive with which they could finally start to explore the universe. In the year 4256 they encountered the cybrids, which quickly imitated their inter-galactic drive and started the next war.

By the year 4479 mankind was almost wiped out, no colonies where left in human control and earth had fallen not long ago, it was then that a group of dedicated mech warriors managed to push directly into the Prometheus compound and destroy the controller of the cybrids, their sacrifice would be rememberd forever. By the year 4584 the Sol system was back under human control entirely, most of the old advanced technology was however lost in the struggle, the entire human race now numbers only a few billion scattered across several galaxies.

You are about to become a mech warrior, you are each being prepared for your long crusade through space, your mission is to clear the galaxy of cybrids, your chance of success almost 0, but there are more like you and with the cybrids in their current weakness, humankind will certainly prevail again.

During your mission aboard the UESV Montreal, you will regurlarly be resupplied with new technology, weapons and mechs, you will each start at rank 1, tech 1, allowing you to use only a small selection of mechs, tanks, battlesuits, aerospace fighters and weapons.

In order to improve your rank, complete missions, act heroicly and RP good, stats are included but RPing is what will save, or lose, the day. The tech level aboard the ship can improved by researching artifacts, finding item plans or salvaging parts of enemy mechs.

please make your character and design your mech, there is no money system and there aren't any restriction to the amount of items right now, once the ship leaves and you start your missions however certain items might not be availble.

Engines and generators: The core of your mech is its generator, the next step its engine/drive. Both come standard in each mech but may be insufficient with what you're planning. A better drive will improve your speed, whereas a better generator will improve your weapon's refire rate and shield regen rate, the improved heatsinks that come with a better generator also reduce the chance of overheating your precious mechs.

LM mk1 drive: The standard drive for light mechs, it is low power, low signature and easy to produce.

weight: included in chassis weight

Armor and shields: Shields are a thin layer of energy between you and your enemy, they can absorb most of the incoming damage for a few moments but unfortunately they haven't quite kept up with weapons technology and thus shields won't last long tough they regen quite fast. Armor is a lot better, but can't be repaired in combat

Armor: Standard armor can easily be plated onto an existing mech at a cheap price in tonnage. 2 points of additional armor needs 1 ton of space to be installed, remember however that you are expending tonnage and armor is not easy to remove.
weight: 1 ton to 2 points of armor on the area the armor is installed in

Improved high density armor: Heavier but much stronger type of armor developed in an attempt to stop enemy ballistic and guided weapons. It provides medium protection against energy weapons but very good against ballistic and guided weapons.
tech: 2
rank: 1
weight: 2 tonnes of space to 5 points of armor on the area the armor is installed in

Shields: Shields are a bit more complex, some regen fast, while others are stronger to start with and will last a little longer.

Standard deflector shields: The most common shield used, decent protection, fast regeneration and low weight make this a good shield for those that have some spare energy and space and want to put it to good use.

weapons: Things to kill things with, simple. Weapon come in several categories, first and foremost, energy weapons, they use a lot of energy and generate a lot of heat, but they don't use ammo. Second come guided projectiles, aka missiles, these devices of death use ammo, generate a lot of heat and sure to leave a big mark on your enemy. Last but certainly not least, the favorite of Thor pilots, ballistic weapons, these vary wildly, tough all use ammo and most do decent damage

mad cat: you'll have to dump the 2 machineguns, your mech is 10 tonnes overweight.

the listing is 10/30 tonnes, which means the chassis weighs 10 tonnes and the maximum weight of the mech is 30 tonnes, thus your effective payload is only 20 tonnes, i'd have added that pulse gatling laser cannon is a tech 2 device, but seeing as how i made a typo there, i'll allow it as a prototype weapon

overall you've made a nice high speed mech for short to medium range combat and i like it

oh and what is a Daishi ?

[flapjack]

Io cor, your Jumper class mech currently has a total weight of 21 tonnes, to a maximum of 30 tonnes, you're 9 tonnes underweight.

it's also impossible to load half ammo pods (you can load 1 ammo pod for both guns, but not 2 half ammo pods)

mad cat, your mech is approved

[Io Cor]

two more 50mm machineguns then, and extra ammo, so that means I'm now 3 tonnes underweight, I think it's good enough for me now, I'll place them on the arms too, so both arms have two 50mm Machineguns.

[flapjack]

50mm machineguns are however medium weapons, your arms can only carry 1 medium weapon each.

thus you'll have to think of a better way, perhaps you can fit some particle weapons for short range fighting, seeing as how your mech is already reasonably limited to short range fighting.
or you have add a melee weapon, in addition you could switch to 1 additional ammo pod per 50mm machinegun

Hewitt: looks good, mech approved, tough i must add you could get heat and energy trouble if you keep that thing firing for prolonged periods of time, so try not to ok?

i'll be posting your first mission(s) soon

[Hewitt]

I'll just sort my weapons into groups and cycle through them.

Either that or find the closest body of water to jump into.

[Wo2]

Hey flapjack. No Elementals? If you give me the elemnetal chasis I'll give you a scout mech that can hit 216 kph But if not then I'll go with my Thor.

[flapjack]

elementals are power armor, they're way at the bottom of the page and they can be used.

you can't use a thor yet and the elemental has a fixed top speed of 90mph, so go and design a normal mech, we still don't have a mech with much sensors yet, so you might want to take a cheetah or a Mouse, if you really want fast, use a mouse with 2 daggers and a crossbow missile launcher using an LM class 2 drive, that'll bring you up to 105mph

anyways, for your first mission you'll be starting on a small moon, average temperatures are -50 degrees celcius, gravity is 0.2 times earth and atmospheric density is 0.1 atmosphere. Overall this means you can fire faster then normal, move a lot faster then normal and jumpjet immense distances, in addition guided weapons will be more effective then normal due to a lower friction.

Long range scans show several Cybrid hot spots on the planet and 1 small base on the moon, the moonbase appears to be equipped with anti-orbital weapon so it'll have to be destroyed before we can move into orbit.

Your mechs leave in 15 minutes and will be deployed via dropships, you will probably encounter defensive fire from the moon and will land about 10 to 25 miles from your target, your mission is to move in and destroy the primary reactor AND the construction bays, once both are destroyed the cybrid base will be unable to fire or repair its guns, additional damage done to the base is good and any cybrids destroyed are obviously a good sign as well.

Long range sensors have also revealed that there are at most 5 cybrid mechs in the base, backed up by an unknown number of tanks and base defenses, be carefull out there.

[Wo2]

90 kph? Thats sluggish! I'm serious though, within the rules set in any Mech Warrior game, I can get my power suit to hit those speeds. But I'll respect your wish's and change my mech.

I'll post it later, I'm thinking of a Altilriery style. For future note, later on can we make more then one chasis then slecet the one that best suits our mission?

*Brrrrrr-Beep!*

*Hewitt looked out at the still gray surface of the moon as his small 30 ton mech powered up. Somewhere out there were enemy cybrid mechs most likely reacting to the sudden appearance on a number of unknown radar signatures on their respective targeting and navigation systems. According to intel this mission shouldn't be too difficult, a simple quick sweep and burn of an enemy base then back to HQ. Perfect for a bunch of green rookies.

In theory.....*

"Well. Time to go out and greet the locals I suppose."

*Waiting for confirmation that the other mechs in the new squad had come online, Hewitt proceeded to engage the controls and set off towards the first nav point.*

[LividCoffee]

Coffee begins to power up his mech as the drop ship ends its final decent to the surface of the moon.

As the drop ship bay door slammed open against the dusty surface, Coffee pilots his 30 ton light mech through the cloud of dust which arose from the drop ships thrusters.

Coffee begins to maneuver his mech towards the first waypoint alongside Hewitt. He motions his sword towards Hewitt.

"One liners ready and waiting" He mutters to himself.

Turning to the first waypoint, he feels himself ease into the control of the mech and starts moving. Stretching out each section of the mech he makes sure everything is working manually, not trusting his computer reports. Once he reaches the waypoint he motions to the two already there. "Where to next then?"

[LividCoffee]

Coffee flicks to infra-red viewing mode and looks around.

"All I can see is us.. are you sure we're in the rightplace?

[flapjack]

Coffee: you're 2 mechs overweight, i suggest dropping the armour on the c*ckpit.

Frog: you listed 2 enhancements of your c*ckpit armour, please edit 1 out while i'll use the 5 point increase for calculating your weight and getting it to exactly 30 tonnes, it's approved.

coffee/frog/hewitt: Your passive scanners show no enemies in range, however you are picking up vague activate scans from the general area of the base, chances are you've been discovered. Your dropships were not attacked and according to their scanners you're about 15 miles out from the cybrid base

Coffee switched back to normal view mode and glanced at his scaners.

Coffee indicates the direction with his sword.

"Lets move out ladies!"

[Fluffie]

"Fluffie, present. Ready to fry."

His mech wasn't especially fast, nor good. He thought. But he was capable of delivering shredding-ness. Or at least, that was what Fluffie liked to think. Yeah, damned right. Checking the status on his weapons, he sighed shortly, he really didn't have any idea how well his Jumper would be. He would've preffered to have something bigger, with more and bigger Machine Guns and Rocket Launchers. Stuff like that, but this would have to do. At least now he could jump up and rain down fire from above.

Oh yeah.

But now he just kept in line with the formation, waiting for targets to appear.

He swings around to follow Coffee.

"First person to see any activity, tell me" He grins to himself and swings the machineguns on his arms around a few times, "I'd hate to miss it"

He jogs after Coffee, making sure his Jump jets are ready.

fluffie: see the arrow, those 10 points of extra armor make you go 5 tonnes overweight, drop it or drop some of those huge amounts of extra ammo. Did i mention that ammo is seperate per weapon and the pods are shared, so you have a total of 200,000 rounds of extra 20mm ammo and 160,000 rounds of extra 50mm ammo, needless to say you can wipe out a sizeable amount of enemies with that. If you get rid of the overweight, your mech is approved. and fluffie, AMS obviously stands for Anti-Missile System, it fires a special decoy that'll attract any missiles in the general area towards it, INCLUDING FRIENDLY MISSILES, use with caution and try to hit an enemy on it for funny effects

Coffee/fluffie/frog/(hewitt): After only 5 miles your sensors suddenly pick up several things, first of all there is a small group of cybrid light tanks right over the next hill, a mere 500 meters away. Second of all you're picking up 3 cybrid light mechs and some turrets 2 miles out, you'd better prepare for combat and start shooting those tanks while you have a chance.

Ember fires his jump jets, powering himself up into the air and forwards, approaching the tanks. He begins firing the lasers on his arms towards the tanks and prepares himself to hit the ground again.

"Come on guys! We're rolling!"

[LividCoffee]

Coffee puts his mech into a stable stance and fires both Medium Laser Cannon and Light Laser Cannon at the closest tank as Ember activates his jump jets.

The smaller of the 2 laser beams falls short but the larger one hits home into the tanks tracks before dissapearing into the tanks interior.

The laser hits the tanks super-conductor storage loop, shorting it out and in a bright blue explosion the tank is blown high into the air.

Coffee starts to lock his missles onto another tank, just as the burning shell of the first lands some way away from his mech

"Oooh yes! Target destroyed"

[Amused Frog]

As he lands, Ember starts powering his jump jets again, and begins running towards the tanks firing his lasers, seeing one of the tanks fly into the air, he locks a missile onto the furthest tank, and jumps again, firing his shoulder mounted machineguns at a tank as he flies over it, and tilting his mech to fire immediately down with his Missile at the back tank. He sees the missile fly into the turret of it's target, A few small initial explosions go off, then a large one as the missile itself detonates, setting off similar explosions around the tank. As the tank drifts out of his sight, it lies in a smoking wreck. Landing on the ground with his back to the tanks, he shouts into the radio.

"Hey! This is going to be a walk in the pa..." he suddenly cuts off as laser fire opens up, seeing a few shots fire past him, and then his mech jolt as he is hit dead on the back of the torso.

Turning again he sees the tank he fired the machineguns at firing towards him, and shots are quickly draining his shields. Going to open fire with his machineguns, he finds it jammed.

"Erm... guys?"

[Fluffie]

flapjack - i must've mistyped when copying them stats, its supposed to be 5, i'll edit that post.

Fluffie's mech's torso and arms turn about, levelling themselves with the tanks. Inside the ****pit, our heroic pilot smiles as he presses the triggers for his two heaviest machine guns, unleashing a short hail of bullety mad-ness on one of the tanks, the one that at that very moment is the least fired upon. The burst of fire is small and concentrated... and of course only unleash when the tank gets in range.

[Amused Frog]

"Screw it" Ember mutters as he unleashes his four laser cannons at the tank shooting him. He watches as the first few hit the surface of the tank and it shudders slightly. He starts his mech walking towards the tank, the continues firing at it. Feeling the tanks shots marking his hull, he continues his approach. Just before he is right on top of the tank, a small explosion takes place in the front, then another in the back, then the whole tank tears itself apart, sending the debris high into the air. Ember's mech stumbles backwards and he finds himself between the wreckage of the two tanks, watching the others fire at the rest of the tanks. Then he glances down at his display again.

"You know, we should be getting awful worried about those other mechs..."

[flapjack]

ooc/ no DM till hewitt posts
frog, how is a 20 ton light tank going to get tossed about by a missile that requires a direct hit to destroy the tank, remember that these weapons are all armour piercing weapons so they're not going to cause big explosions, in addition please post only once per DM to prevent me from having to read masses of posts.
coffee, tough your medium laser is definately powerfull enough to destroy a light tank, it won't blow up any fuel tanks as fossil fuels are no longer used, at the best you'll hit a super-conductor storage loop and short it out, causing a small explosion. Both of your lasers are however rate for high range, that indicates several miles minimum, your targets are a mere 500 meters away and thus easily within range.
Fluffie, good boy, your weapons should be able to do decent damages on that range and shouldn't have much trouble making holed cheese out of your unfortunate target /ooc

[Amused Frog]

Sorry... I'm a first timer and don't know too much about mechs...

Edit: And I've amended my posts.

[LividCoffee]

- ooc -

-I fixed my previous post about the fuel, i did consider that it might not use fuel but i looked at your vehical stats and i couldnt see anything.

-although the explosion would not usualy blow the tank that high into the air, the moons low gravity allowed it to.

-I didnt know how far the ranges you said were (takes note for future) but just because a weapon is meant for long range, doesnt mean it wont work for short range.

- ooc -

Coffee's missles lock on and he fires both of them towards one of the remaining tanks.

"where are these enemy mechs then, im itching for a challange!"

[Mad cat]

powers up his mech after a slight problem caused delays and notes that people have already done stuff he starts the mech moving and activates his comm

sorry folks had a little reactor trouble there nothing sereous but now im good

turns the active radar on and its sensitivity up to maximum causing the mechs radar signature to stick out like a sore thumb to anyone watching their radar (possibly making them think i have a much bigger mech )

so, shall we begin our attack?

[Hewitt]

ooc: Yikes, mass postage... *hurries to catch up*

"Yeah, I see em."

*Hewitt's light mech continues on at it's leasurely pace as a three others rush in to meet the small group of light armour. A quick analysis of the target read out shows the vehicles are lacking in the armour department so Hewitt selects group fire for his pair of MLC's and angles in for an attack vector.

The enemy has no chance.

As Hewitt circles around the group the others begin tearing it apart. Hewitt makes his presence known by blasting one hapless cybrid vehicle as he passes by. The small armoured tank glows red as the two energy beams hit it dead on before it explodes in a semi-spectular fashion.*

"Boowah!"

Not stopping, Hewitt instantly swings his torso around to bring himself to bear on another light tank. This vehicle seemed intent on attacking him in particular as it's main turret began to swing around towards the Jumper. Quickly, Hewitt switched to his Dual GG's (Gatling Gun) and with group fire still selected let rip with the laser tommy guns. He took little notice of the temp gauge as it suddenly began to surge upwards as rapid laser fire traced along the hull of the cybrid tank, tearing it to pieces.*

[flapjack]

Frog: Several flashy lights indicate what areas where hit, your shoulder 20mm guns are both jammed, whereas the arm mounted machineguns have already been unjammed automatically, your shields are down but recharging, 5 seconds till they come back online. There is minor damage to your torso armor (now 11) however you did manage to get 2 kills.

Coffee: Your smaller laser shot misses and hits a little in front of your target, the other however is enough for the desired effect, your 2 missiles strike dead on target and destroy it, but not before it returns fire and smacks your shield down to 70%.

Fluffie: The ensueing barrage of fire breaks away the tank within moments, tough another 1 of the tanks managed to fire at you and bring your torso armor down to 8 points

Mad cat: As your radar comes online you get a clear view of the cybrid mechs, now at a mere 2 miles, warning lights flash on as a cybrid mech locks missiles on you and fires, sending 2 LRMs your way. Within a few moments you however do manage to identify the enemy mechs and spread the intel across the group

Hewitt: Your heat measure turns green to indicate there is in fact an amount of excess heat however the build up is slow and should prove easy to control, A number of green flashy lights and yellow flashy lights however indicated several minor hits on your torso armor (8 points armor left). Several warning lights flash to indicate a radar lock has been established onto your mech.

all: The cybrid mechs, 3 of them, are now at a mere 2 miles, missiles are incoming on mad cat and are homing into his active sensors, the cybrid mechs are as following:

2x cybrid light mech: unknown design, cybrid light mechs are built Bi-pedal and are supposed to be capable of high speeds, they are however fragile.
class: scout mech.
aprox speed: 100mph
aprox weight: 18 tonnes

ooc/ yes, rushing into close combat would be a good idea against that missile mech, unless you like getting hit by SLRMs /ooc

[Disrupter]

ooc/ i didnt see anything about tonnage so i didnt know...

[flapjack]

Disrupter: Fighters have no shields, just lots of speed. There isn't a tonnage because it's irrelevant, you can't add armor/shields/things other then weapons onto anything but a mech for the moment. It's definately possible to use a GLC (Gatling Laser Cannon) as your nose weapon btw.

Your fighter is approved, you are launched towards the planet immediatly and will arrive at about the same point the rest did, try to stay away from missiles btw, they hurt

[Hewitt]

ooc: Erm... shields? (I don't have any )

BEEEEEEEEEPPPPP!!!!

"Oh crud."

*Hewitt's control panel lights up in several areas as a radar lock is engaged on his mech. With a virtual missile boat out there it could mean only one thing....*

LRM. LRM. LRM.

"Sh.t!"

*Remembering his training, Hewitt immediately engages the Jumper's jumpjets and hits the directional control to a full 90 degrees. The result is his mech suddenly jets off at right angles to his current movement, now rocketing at god knows what speed to his left.*

"INCOMING!!!"

*Hewitt hopes like hell that he can avoid the enemy long range missiles......*

ooc: Yeah and? Who said I was saying otherwise?

90 mph is still faster than 90 kph.

Anywho...

Let's see 1 mile equals about 1.5 k's. Therefore 90 mph approx. = 90 x 1.5....

Which is 135 kph.

[Fluffie]

yeah, i don't think i have shields either. unless we all have a standard shielding stuff-ning-ness stuff. or something.

"Fluffie. Missile Mech, mine. Feel free to provide covering fire. Out."

The Machine Guns stop their speech, adressed to the tanks, as the small Mech begins turning about and facing the Missile Mech as fast as it can. It starts moving, running, as fast as it can, beginning to circle around the Missile Mech, but still in such fashion that he quickly begins closing the distance between them.

Somewhere during all this, Fluffie prepares his AMS and Jumpjets for use, followed by readying his full arsenal of weapons, intending on playing cheese grater and cheese with the Missile Mech, Fluffie's Mech being the grater.

Green lights everywhere on a weapons' screen make him smile, all his weapons where ready to play their part. Turning his eyes back on the game, ahum, field itself, he sees the distance between himself and the enemy mechs is by now very non-existant.

His tumb presses the Jumpjet button, the jets themselves activating immidiately, propelling the Jumper into the sky. Turning its body about, all weapons face the Missile Mech from above, unleashing their maddening destruction in a blur of weapon nuzzles and missile streaks (2 SRM's from each launcher). After a period which must have seemed like several lifetimes to the enemy pilot, Fluffie maneuvers his Mech down to the ground again, beginning to circle around his foes again, keeping them covered with bullets.
