Oh, come on, it's not so farfetched. In fact, there should be more gay/bi neps. (Stalwart is bi, for one.) Since so many Yamataians and Nekos are bi or lesbian, it only makes sense.

 

[Kokuten]

Ahem, reading from, "The Medics Guide to the Effects of War" Volume II, Page 129, Nepleslian Section, 'Physical Needs'.

Prolonged exposure to combat conditions leaves most soldiers longing for an enjoyable peace time. This peace time, at least for most Nepleslians, includes drinking, smoking, social interaction, and sex(the more intimate social interaction). To some, sex is the most important of those four. However, most Nepleslian men will be retricted to such sex, since the rarity and protection of females prevents those men from even getting close at times. This will make more desperate men search for sex from their comerades(If they don't just find a female to rape), causing them to become bisexual, and even full homosexual.

Lucky for me, smoking is the most important of those four on my list. *Puffs a Cigar*

 

[MoonMan]

It's not so much farfetched as it is unexpected. I read his bio, didn't catch it. Actually, I'm not even sure if homosexuality is taboo on Nepleslia or not...not really something we've added to the wiki, at least.

...shoot, Rico better watch himself.

 

[Tyler]

If you want to volunteer, contact me on Yim to talk bout it.

 

[Fred]

Hmmm...VR...that means Computer Specialist Matt could help Ally out with the simulation.

Matt: *laughs maniacally*

Why do I get the feeling it's going to be Pheonix Arms-type ground power armors blasting apart KFY-type ground power armors? >_>;

 

[Abwehran Commander]

No...more like Phoneix Arm Ground-types surrounded by a multitude of KFY and Elysian models.

 

[Wes]

KFY armors will vape you before you even seen them!

Shhoooooommm...BAM!

*Mindy performs a high-speed airstrike*

 

[Fred]

Which was why I said 'ground armors'

 

[Zack]

Does KFY have any dedicated ground power armors?

 

[Fred]

The Harpy and the Daisy. The Sylph II would as well without the wingpack.

 

[Zack]

Ah, and I thought all KFY armors were FTL capable. It seems like the ground power armors don't get much use anymore but I still think it would be intersting to see the KFY ground armors go up against their NDI counterparts. As far as I know that hasn't happened ever.

I also would bet good money the Golem II would beat out the Harpy and Daisy. The Golem V packless Sylph would be more of a fair fight. I would expect the layer of yarvex would change the nature of the fight entirely.

 

[Wes]

The Daisy is newer and better than the Golem. It's a beast.

 

[Zack]

The Golem II would be able to engage the Daisy more accurately and from a longer range because of its non-LOS attack capabilities and better sensors. The Daisy may be newer but I doubt it could take on a Golem II in a fight.

[Fred]

Actually, there was a battle between two Golem IIs and a Daisy, all piloted by trainee pilots. The Daisy pilot pulled through, managing to defeat both opposing armors.

I'll quote a condensed part of the battle if you can't bother yourself with peering over 'Prologue Day 2' in the Miharu plotship.

James sat still, mind racing.

Okay, that didn't quite work out. Let's see, three out of seven possible armors on our sensors, and they most likely have a transport vehicle if they're following deployment strategy. Once they have contact, their friends will probably come charging in.

He readied a grenade and inched over to the corner.

First things first, got to draw some attention.

Leaning out, he fired off the SLAG towards where the enemy armors were supposed to be hiding, already retreating the way he came.

James' initiative saved his hide. It was only just after he fired his grenade around the corner that his power armor was buffeted by the force of explosions - multiple grenades - that tossed his Daisy to the side.

There was no way of knowing how effective his attack had been as the Daisy crashed on its flank and bounced off the pavement twice before the inertial drive system kicked in to allow the geshrin to regain control of his balance and land in a crouch.

Suddenly, there was dust everywhere and visibility dropped considerably. He had lost one of his tactical drones to the explosions, though the other still docilely hovered by his side. He had completely lost any reading of the Kairyuu, though the two Golem IIs, apparently unscathed by his attack, quickly announced their continued presence with bright muzzlefire as they opened up with Suit-Integrated Assault Rifles.

Reacting purely on instinct, James sprayed the area with gunfire of his own as he activated the anti-gravity drive and flung himself backwards, breaking free of the dust and debris. He wasted no time in getting out of the line of fire and speeding back to where the rest of his squad was.

That was a little too close for comfort, the Geshrin thought grimly, twisting so that he faced back towards the building. As he reached the maximum effective range of the SLAG, he let loose another grenade round.

A few hard impacts rocked James' Daisy, but the forearm shield fended off the worse of the Golem IIs combined assault as he evaded and fired his own counter-attack. Both NDI armors tried to jump aside, but one was just on the edge of the grenade's blast radius and found itself tossed aside.

The damaged golem righted itself, still mostly whole save for scorched armor and a destroyed SIAR: its forcefield barrier had done much in saving it from the actual lethality of the attack. The second Golem weaved past the smoke and dust and continued to pour fire at James.

James' was in a pitted battle now: there wasn't much use for stealth and his AIES pointed it out with a written recommendation to go for military power so he could unleash the full potential of his suit - which included the cloak shield projector, active sensors and a functioning plasma rifle.

James took the AIES' recommendation and switched to combat mode, firing one last sustained burst from his LASR before juking behind cover. Given a moment to rest, he switched over to the plasma rifle and gave it a quick once-over.

Satisfied, quickly took a glance at the active sensors. The Phalanx and the Ocelot showing on his sensors did little to raise his spirits, but on the plus side, he would be the only one readily apparent on their own sensor network.

The Geshrin leaned back out into the open, firing to disable or outright destroy the advancing Golem. Whatever happened, he had to buy his allies time to prepare for the rest of the hostiles to arrive.

Hot plasma shot out of the plasma and clashed against the advancing Golem II's barrier shield. The first strained at the translucent energy bubble, but the second breached through and hit the armor on its right flank. The NDI assault armor's advance stopped cold as it was forced back a step from the substancial damage James' had managed to inflict it despite the barrier protection.

Slightly further away, the downed Golem II righted itself, lining up the Daisy with a kind of shotgun-like weapon that almost immediately spat dazzingly brilliant plasma at him. The torrent of energy nearly engulfed James' suit whole, but the cloak projectors saved him from defeat, absorbing enough so that the armor would be only scorched on the surface rather than smelted through.

"Class-C damage, Active Camouflage. Cloak Shield recovery in 12 seconds." The AIES reported as the damage display showed most of his armor's status being in the yellow now. In the meantime though, the Golem II he had previously shot with the plasma rifle decided to add to his misery by hefting the SIAR back up and launched a 17.5mm SARA grenade his way.

James blanched as the grenade soared through the air while the recovered Golem lined up for a second shot. Taking one last parting shot, he brought the anti-gravity drive to full power and threw himself into the air, hunkering down and bringing his shield to try and save himself from the brunt of the blast.

"Come on, come on... Rise!' he chanted to himself, feeling beads of perspiration start to trickle down his forehead.

Just as James cleared the grenade's blast radius, his own plasma rifle belched plasma in turn. The brilliant bolt raced from the weapon's muzzle and ripped through the Golem II's energy barrier, striking and destroying the NDI assault armor's helmet. The enemy suit was flung away like a rag doll to finally lie limply on the fissured roadway.

"Taurus One destroyed!" His AIES confirmed just as the other Golem tried to take another shot at it...

The Golem II is powerful, yes, and even scores slightly higher that the Daisy in Doshii Jun's power armor rating evaluations... but that doesn't mean the Daisy stands no chance of winning against it.

 

[Zack]

I disagree with that assesment. In this situations the golems should be aquiring the daisy with its hyperwave sensor and then attacking it using its non-los weapons or simply blasting directly through the cover to take out the Daisy. The Daisy has no ECM so targeting it should be a peice of cake. The Daisy on the other hand has to shoot through the Golem's combined ECM which will throw its aim off. It also has weaker armor than the Golem so in the event up a straight up shootout the golem should be able to handle the Daisy.

There also seems to be the problem with the golem's plasma weapon not being able to penitrate the Daisy's weaker shield but the Daisy's weapon being able to not only penitrate the Golem's more powerful shield but all of its armor as well.
