The Madness Becomes Real: The Evil's Return/Big Bad Wolf Limited Crossover RP - Page 9

Arhra: Mostly okay. I a tad bit worried about the exoskeleton, seeming as I already smacked down one character for having mecha-esque stuff. I'm okay with you using it to counteract recoil, but I'm not really seeing the need for having 10x strength.

Re: Bard's post.

For the record the explosion probably wouldn't/wouldn't cause the rocket in the SMAW to explode.

Firstly, in the SMAW system, unlike the RPG system, the rocket sits fully in the 'barrel' of the launcher.

Secondly, they're made to be relatively stable until fired.

It'd probably just make the SMAW go flying, and probably knock about the rocket so you'd have to reload it to use it. Depending on the power of the explosion it might damage the launcher enough to make it unusable.

The implication was that Simon only thought it would blow up the rocket, not that it would. If anything, it will probably just break the SMAW, and leave Simon disappointed at the lack of explosions.

Yeah, I know, I just thought I'd point out what was the likely outcome, as your post seemed to imply you weren't sure.

I did a little research and it's about in line with stuff that exists right now. Well, the HAL suit only gives 5x, but some of the other more experimental ones I read about were ridiculously higher than that.

EDIT: I should probably emphasise that's given for lifting and carrying, not for punching holes in people. I'm sure you'd see improvement in that regard, but not quite so crazy.

No, I got the basic idea that you couldn't punch people with it...but 10x still seems like a lot just for carrying guns around, especially since you already have a hyperspace armory to do that with. I'm being paranoid and foreseeing stuff like "Look! A car! I'm gonna lift that!" or "Look! A giant boulder! I'm going to lift that!", and being able to lift large heavy objects leads to being able to throw large, heavy objects etc etc etc.

It just seems like it's overdoing it a bit. But if you can lay down a good arguement as to why it won't lead to you throwing cars and stuff, I can be convinced to let you keep it.

On a side note: The HAL 5 exoskeleton made by CYBERDYNE? Do these guys realize that no sci-fi nerd in the western world is going to trust them?

I'll get an update up tomorrow afternoon.

At least it's not Skynet.

You know, the UK military communications satellites?

How on earth are we going to stop it if it's in space?

Krylo · 05-11-2010, 02:04 PM

Just counted through the thread, we currently have 33 confirmed disabled or killed SECA (out of ~40) strike team members, probably more as I only counted those specifically stated to have gone down for the count in posts (I know, Bard took out more than I counted, for instance, but I don't know how many more).

Of those, 2 were using RPGs and 2 were using machine guns.

This means there are <7 remaining SECA agents, of which 1 is holding an RPG and 5 are using machine guns.

Of those there are about 4 in McCrag manor, assuming a strike team is roughly 5 people (one is down via shotgun from Jack).

One of those is probably our last RPG user (as one was used to breach the doors). We can then extrapolate that the other two surviving members in there have machine guns and there are 3 machine guns left outside somewhere.

I think this still leaves our second sniper team unaccounted for, however. The one who wasn't taken out by Loki's character.

I totally forgot about the other sniper! Oh well, Sam is going to get a serious beat down soon anyways so he's out of the picture!

Dracorion · 05-11-2010, 07:34 PM

I was reluctant to have Jack get this injured on the first mission, but I wanted to show the hazards of copying redshirts.

Especially when you're the kind of guy who likes to be up front while everything goes to hell, kicking ass and taking names.
