Sakura II Discussion (formerly A THOUGHT Experiment)

Well the Lorath wouldn't have used SA mechs due to size/interface issues, but welcome regardless!

Well of course they wouldnt've, but that's still experience working and interacting with aliens, their tech, and weird prototypes and experimental bits. Not to mention being a tinkerer himself.

True!

Flat is justice!

Menelik, at the least, is no stranger to flat women and men who look like women.

We need our medic birb!

We currently have two people interested in putting a Nepleslian aboard via the exchange program, and they first showed that interest in less than 24 hours of each other. I hesitate to stick two people on the same ship using this system, but will if I have to.

The first is Firebrand, who already has a character ready and showed interest in this avenue first by a very narrow margin. My concern is that as a Corporal, he'd translate to an NCO and thus be a similar rank to Datenshi on the PA Team. Having a Nepleslian as part of the PA Team isn't bad in and of itself, but I have some plans for the PA Team command structure that this confounds to a degree. I'm not sure how to have so many NCOs around without degrading the meaning of the rank and running into problems. Otherwise, I have no real issues with this character's participation and don't want to just push them away.

The second is SirSkully, who is already part of the plot but needs to make a character to replace Lucii, who the player feels is not enjoyable/was rushed. I certainly want to keep SirSkully's place in the plot, even if it's through character swap. They don't have a character finished at this time.

I need ideas from these two on how best to make this work.

Easiest solution is promote Tenshi to officer, and then the other two can be NCO. Problem solved.

Given Tenshi's current track record, that'd be like dumping gasoline on a blazing car wreck~ >:3

It'll be pretty cool till it burns out though, gotta admit...

And it'll end with everyone indiscriminately burnt or wounded and with massive collateral damage. ^_-

Maybe, you never know!

Could use Menelik and the other Nepleslian as an outrider team: Hostiles and Aggressors aren't as fast as a Mindy, but use them as an anvil for mindy PA's to hammer enemies on, or as a point force, and that works.

'Course, this is if Menelik doesn't end up getting a real estate deal on Himiko, or ending up doing a good job that he gets bumped up to 2nd Lieutenant- Which would give us the opposite problem.

Hey sorry the medic birb took so long.

With the clarification from Legix that only a single Nep exchange soldier can be on a ship, I decided that Skully should be on the ship more than me- they shouldn't be forced to play a character they don't find interesting to make room for me, and shouldn't be kicked out because they had a more interesting character idea.

I'll be makign a round of posts tonight

Could just make a character for the plot, @Firebrand. That way you can join up and have some fun!

A heads up, the life signs which seem wonky are in the escape pods at the edge of the system. Just clarifying that.

So, does the Sakura II have room for a semi-decorated Itto Hei who's got more than a bit of country boy in him? He's pretty damn good with guns, and tinkering, and not dying.

I believe we do. I wonder what he pilots though. His bio says he's infantry, but also claims that he won't fit in a Mindy.

That was before the latest version of the Mindy came out. He's 5'11, so he should be able to fit.
