I remember that, in the original Miharu plot outline, I set out to have the plotship do things that in the end would allow some to earn Yui's Blood Medallion. I was absent during the epilogue of that plot, so Doshii Jun carried out the award ceremony. My understanding was that the...

Despite the look, they're probably nothing like seafood. Going for shrimp/lobster-like flesh would be a significant DNA change on the formula for other Mishhu. So, it's probably coarse predator meat you'd find in mammals. The muscles in the pincers would probably have elements in common to what...

Indeed. And some people seem to like it. Not trying to spoil their fun. But others want to be part of something bigger that is making larger brushstrokes in the setting. The usual SARP trend is "Big war, great baddie, desperate battles, ahhhh!" until people get tired of it, and then, sudden...

I've read the last couple of pages, and something strikes me. Most of the potential conflicts that are spoken of are defensive. None of them are scenarios where you are the attacker. Yamatai may paint a more altruistic face for itself, but its historically proven itself to have a lot of shades...

Someone asked me to chirp in, so, here's what I can provide to the topic. I'm probably the largest user of psionic characters in more than a decade, so, here's my take: Though this intention is more than a decade old, I would mention that a particular focus on the YSS Miharu plot was to...

Zesuaium = Construx. YESSSS! \o/ Always was partial to construx over LEGO. :D

Catching up on this, I think the 'session zero' approach of whitelisting what is desired is probably the best way to deal with the situation Wes encountered. The various MOS do serve as roles that help shape the faction, draw the broader picture. In my group, I have several participants whom...

I want to address that implication in a previous example of mine that a drugstore clerk's life is unimportant. Clearly, it's an ambiguous and debatable moral statement which I do not support. But an organization based on merit is going to bring about what merit has the most value... and Yamatai...

Absolutely. However, there are only so many Mental backup devices, medical practioners skilled/authorized (the latter probably being as important, if not more) to handle such backups, and hemosynthetic tanks that can be dedicated to renewing new bodies, healing up people, platforms for medical...

Mmm. My perception of mental backups in Yamatai is not universal. I don't have the impression, based on Yamatai meritocracy, that everyone is entitled to mental backups, and especially not all the time. The average newborn nekovalkyrja probably shouldn't expect a backup just out of training...

I've seen CDD described as large fully enclosed metal spheres that contain a gyroscoping arrangement of machinery inside. So, you'd have the multiple layers of metal rings rotating inside, probably some energy reaction between those rings, and then the exterior cover muffling most of the sound...

I like the idea of just increasing the size category but not the weapon category, though it feels a little wierd to have Fortresses and not have even a single Anti-fortress weapon (which will probably be, most of the time, only going to be a better heavy anti-capital weapon). Then again, I'm...

Mm. Going to dance around topics to catch up. On one hand, I'm not sure how much this extension will actually be useful. The thought "If they extend it this time, when's the next time this will be insufficient and will be extended again, rather than 'fudging' on the bigger things?" This feels...

Honestly, DRv3 was my try to make a big move away from hit points, while having some sense of what a weapon still does. It saw development pains, controversy, adaptation, and then various degrees of acceptance or adoption. I'd say that the feedback I got is generally consistent between "not...

Okay, I can be the bad guy if that's what you want me to be, though I really wasn't speaking to only you. For perspective, consider the opening post of this thread. You're putting emphasis on Ethereal's second point. Yeah, a double standard sucks, but we may be stuck with it anyways until...

What's an 'original clique'? Because SARP has been around for longer than the 16 years I've been here. And it's seen its share of cliques. Even before I got to SARP, I know Wes had at least 3 plotships: the Yui, the Nozomi and the Plumeria. Each kind of marked what you could call a...

o.O Fleets are too big. Yeah, I know. I believed in incremental change, so that the narrative would support it. Millions to hundreds-of-thousands, not a huge contrast. Later, hundreds-of-thousands to a tens-of-thousands. Then down to a few thousands. then in the hundreds. If it's done...

And triple posting, since I want to avoid using the edit button. I know the A-10 by reputation, but I didn't know a whole lot on the warplane itself, so, I did some research. Here are two interesting videos I found on Youtube: Given that, here's how I think Miharu Light Industries, whom did...

I wanted to add: 'Rugged' and 'budget' are terms you guys don't seem to like... but there are actual benefits in resorting to tried-and-true solutions that are 20 years old, rather than the cream-of-the-crop tech that's around. As advanced as the Mindy IV is, it's probably greatly reliant on...

My belief is that the Daisy would remain Yamatai's budget armor. You have the Mindy IV with its state-of-the-art systems (especially the teleporter), and you're better off protecting it as much as possible with zesuaium to protect that investment. The Daisy is supposed to be the more rugged...
