Cadet, is there really a need for the forces to be clones of one another? If the Mish prefer hard mounted weapons on their PA, is that a serious flaw? Their hard mounted weapons are near equivalent to the LASR, just because they are not hand carried does not mean that it is inferior or weaker, it simply means that they just prefer mounted weapons instead of hand carried ones.
No point making all the forces clones of each other.
The issue with not having a good set of rifles in the inventory is that the Mishhu themselves don't have something to use, not with just arming the PAs. As mentioned earlier, one of the downsides of the NMX is that they had far too many human faces in the rank and file, basically watering down their strengths; an alien, monstrous presence. Prior to the NMX, the SMX employed Mishhuvurthyar wearing armored suits and wielding multiple rifles at once, just as Fred mentioned. That alone is starkly different from power armored troops, and is likely something we should bring back. However, in order to do that, they'll be needing proper gear. Hence, the rifles.
I dunno. If you were a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, would you be wild about the idea of having turrets grafted into your carapace?
I sure wouldn't.
Fred, if we're even going to consider bringing back Mishhuvurthyar Troopers, we should at least think about mounting additional weapons on their armored suits worn into combat. And that's not mentioning shields and so forth.
And now even less sense. There's no biology for it, not enough room to store eggs, not enough room in the tentacles to allow pathways for them anyways. It's a neko. With Mishhu traits (legs that can shapechange into tentacles, and the tentacles happen to be able to paralyze with a sting). If one decided to go around just with humanoid leg, you'd probably never be able to tell she's not a normal nekovalkyrja. Except by X-ray - I expect the bones in their legs to look rather special looking.
They're not monsters. They aren't obligatorily boss encounters. They're just people.
This is me getting annoyed. It's one thing to flesh out, another to push to redefine something ...and honestly, there's way too much dwelling on the NH-25 than I feel is healthy. They're not common enough to even be much of a concern unless you're interacting with the TNE. You certainly won't see them around the NMX. Wasn't this thread about the NMX?
Fred, I really don't understand why you're getting annoyed - we're discussing potential ideas for the update. Not flat out going forward with it and ignoring everyone's thoughts on the matter.
As for that ability making sense or not, they happen to have tentacles of very similar or same type as the Mishhu on top of being based off of older, more powerful Nekovalkyrja models. I simply don't see how it can't be possible to carry a fraction of what a full blooded Mishhuvurthyar would have. What's more, I don't see how this change could hurt; with it, they can still be the same people they were before. Simply because they would be capable of monstrous acts wouldn't mean they would be monsters either.
As for why the NH-25's are being discussed, it's simply because we're looking towards whatever things are available to use and therefore improve the Mishhuvurhtyar's main military. The next thing might not even be called the NMX anymore for all I know. Even then, though we'll try to think of new things, looking at the past for inspiration is a no-brainer when planning or thinking of anything at all.
