Well, that got out of hand fast. Let me try to address everything.
@Warriorx1 - he's in a lot of pain, but the suit soothingly going "Morphine Administered" like a certain Engineer's would, would pretty much keep in fighting shape. The suit itself is holding the limb together like a splint, and even if he is unable to move, the fact that he wants to will have the suit itself pick up the slack. It's just going to be very, very painful.
@ShotJon - Buck bare, it would likely be 10 tons, but since it's also got a lot of alloy plate (most likely Yamataium or Yamadura), I'm guessing 15 tons at least. A Hostile stopping that charge is out of the question. This enemy is meant to be outright stronger than any individual. It did take an Aggressor, a 13 foot tall behemoth, to go toe to to with it in a melee. And even that didn't end well.
@Rizzo , @ShotJon
C'mon guys - it's rather pointless to fight here. No name calling or finger pointing from either of you, please. As for the crab, isn't it believable that it used its own brute strength, and the anti-grav organ together to do this? It would, more or less, explain exactly why this giant monstrosity is so fast and nimble, despite being weighed down by armor, reactor, shield generator and weapons you'd find on an AFV. Like a Space-Bradly. Because that's exactly what everyone's been fighting at this point.
We've covered this before, but in SARP, we generally detail what we want our characters to do, not say that they succeeded. That way, players are waiting on edge to see what happens next as the GM posts, keeping that sense of surprise and suspense intact. Seeing that the move on the crab was decided as successful, and so perfectly, I had to think as the Crab itself and how it would counter. And, most importantly, without outright killing the character - at this point, I also felt that I had it kick people enough times without effectively killing someone. So that was out the window. Same with the tentacles. So?
I told it, "Do a barrel roll!"
And that's how it learned how to barrel roll.
