OOC Chat 1: Calculating navigational path

[GM Yuusha]

Looking at the 9 mechwarriors so far, it'll likely be as follows for assignments unless anyone objects:

Aleksandr Korolov - Command Company
John Slaktare - Command Company
Ezmeralda - Raider Company
Catherine - Raider Company
Mary Macharu - Scout Company
Mei-Ling Zhou - Scout Company
Gianna Rains - Trooper Company
Yori Hakamada - Trooper Company
Richard Winter - Any -> Let's wait and see what your mech is

Spots left:
Command - Full
Raider - Full
Scout - 1 spot
Trooper - 1 spot
Support - 2 spots

Am I the only one without his own Mech

[Gianna Rains]

Am I the only one without his own Mech

I gambled on other things. Not taking a chance that I don't get to shoot a lot of missiles in this game.

Seems that way!

Thank you for trusting me~

[Richard Winter]

I'm in danger, aren't I?

[John Slaktare]

Well, i wanted melee focus and that's not exactly common, so 2 xp to make sure i could pick a melee focus helps.

[Gianna Rains]

From my Human Edge experience, I want to try shooting lots of missiles. A few xp to guarantee I'll have lots of missiles to shoot = worth it.

You tricked me in to thinking the company assignments were posted.

Huh, I can see your quote of that post but the post itself is invisible to be. Damnit Opera!

[Gianna Rains]

I am super curious to learn what if any practical difference there is between companies. Or more specifically: Trooper sounds like we do all the generic, unspecialized work, yes?

[Richard Winter]

When i think about Trooper i think about Meatshields ^^;

Command - Well, Command
Raider - Hit & Run
Scout - Scout ahaed
Trooper - Meatshields
Support - Sniper & Killstealer

[GM Yuusha]

Trooper is more a general or frontline company I expect. However, each company has a certain level of self sufficiency. E.g. Scout Company aren't incapable of fighting.

Command - Only called that as the CO is here along with the bigger mechs. More of a fire support and heavy company. The closest thing y'all have to a big stick to wave at something.
Scout - Fast or mobile lighter mechs that excel at recon. Likely very good against vehicles too. Fast response cavalry
Raider - Fast-ish mechs that have at least one hand free so they can pick stuff up and run off with it. Mobile heavy cavalry.
Trooper - Slower and shootier mechs. Generalists that can hold the line or attack a position.

Something like this. Guidelines rather than rules.

Am I too late?

Am I too late?

On the contrary, you're right on time.

And I dig your avatar. Seems like someone who should be listened to without question.

That's me literally the lowest person on the totem pole.
