If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
I'm kind of struggling here to post and I feel like at least part of the issue is that everyone is posting what I would normally be posting, which is NPC actions/reactions and about the surroundings. It's actually helped move the plot along so I've let it slide so far, but I have to admit it gives me an uneasy feeling to see you guys having your characters effortlessly plow through what was supposed to be an equal opponent.
So basically I'm warning you that when you auto the NPCs, I may call you on it and ask for an edit, or just add unforeseen consequences to your actions in my next post.
Sorry. To be honest, I just wasn't sure what to post if it didn't involve barging forward like this... We already did loads and loads of forward planning.
I sort of thought you were telling us to get a move on, so that's what I did. >_>
I really expected my character to suffer some consequences for going all Rambo on them. Not that I am complaining she didn't end up getting murderized. :/
Also worth noting that all four of the enemies I mention Tsuguka hitting were not strictly finished off... Was sort of intentionally leaving openings there. Nobody has even been disabled by that grenade launcher yet!
Aether stuff seems pretty much like it just wrecks through shields. I know the ABSR is distortion based and does that so I assumed the Aether sabers are similar. I'm trying to give the OpFor some skill but seeing as they're just base guards and Candon's is Spec Ops it seems like he would kill enemies at a faster pace. I'm trying to be accurate in my description of Candon's maneuvers to account for that.
So after returning from having to do my papers and exams, I find I am totally confused as to what's going on in the Flaming Arrows thing. What's going on here, exactly?
Well, once you get the data, you can blow everything up, which may help fuxxor the long-range targeting abilities of the station's guns.
As for the Star Army's fleet, it can come whenever Hanako gives the word, so if those guns are down they'll take less casualties. But once they start bombarding the station, the Eucharis team needs to teleport out or they'll get slagged with the rest of the station's occupants.
the station we are attacking is massive. trying to disable all of the guns would be an act of futility. Odds are that the OpFor thinks we intend to hack. they probably won't expect us to be teleporting the entire Mainframe out of the station.
when we jump we will be just under 100,000 kilometers away, so we won't be close enough to the point defense weapons to need to worry. artillery might try to take a few shots but they wouldn't be expecting us at that range. 15 seconds and where another 100k
@Dumont She has been told what to do, just not verbally. In my last post Candon put the plan straight into everyone's brain. We're surrounding the core and we're going to use the AoE from a synchronized teleport to jump into space with their Mainframe.
Everything on the aether weapons wiki page suggests they have large areas of effect, and how the entire room hasn't already been blown to bits by dozens of "constantly firing" aether rifles is kind of a mystery to me. Never mind just the computers we were supposed to be recovering intact.
Know it sounds like I'm just being difficult, but... Yeah. It kinda made Tsuguka's orders completely pointless for the second time in a row.
Well, their dudes are closing in on the computer room, but they're not in it until my next post, and the Kuvexians are trying to format their drives. Hanako is a computer expert and you have communications with her. She could probably say what to grab. And you can avoid the Kuvexians by teleporting anywhere that's not where you are. Hope that helps.
