OOC Chat 1: Calculating navigational path

[Catherine Maia Hayes]

We have no easy antigrav tech. We make gravity with inertia by firing our dropship engines.
So while our dropship is moving under its own power? We have Gravity! \o/
But while it is glued onto the Jumpship like a tick? We have Zero-G! >_<

[Eilonwy Ainsley]

We didn't pay our gravity bill, so there was an interruption in service.

[Gianna Rains]

Thinking randomly about radio chatter, thanks to what I remember of the movie Midway - the original, which is amazing: So Cat is Raider 3 Leader, Gianna would be Trooper 1 Leader...

I'm excited to say - just in my head, probably - as we're stomping into battle, "Trooper 1 Leader to Kinders. It's play time."

This is an accurate description of things.

On the jumpship, as well as space stations and other very large vessels/objects, there may be a grav deck. This is like a big room or area that spins around the main ship/station, thus receiving its own gravity. People on those big vessels/stations then visit the grav deck for some normalcy and to relax. Being in zero-g constantly can have adverse effects on one's health.

"Hellcat to Raiders 3. Okay! We're here to kick butt and collect salvage ... and they ain't salvage yet. Let's get on that."

Reading this exchange has shown me that "Umbral Lords" is too long/complicated a name for my lance. Hmmm.

[John Slaktare]

So I would be Command Battle Leader? Sounds much more important than I should be.

Not Trooper 1 Actual?

You'd have to use ULs... Maybe U Lords?

"Scout 2 Leader to Lords: Let's get regal..."

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

Snip

Mei keeps talking about being a night owl so maybe just Owls?

"Command this is Hooter-1 reporting in."

[GM Yuusha]

Hooter-2, Hooters sighted, permission to make a hoot, over.

Umbral Lords is very edgy.

And Obsidian Angels isn't

[Richard Winter]

How about Urbie Lord?

[John Slaktare]

What about UmbrelLords?

[GM Yuusha]

And Obsidian Angels isn't

I didn't pick it. You all voted on it.

[John Slaktare]

*changes callsign to Lote*

I will now be known as Lord of the Edge!

[Yori Hakamada]

I have a new appreciation for both the Flashman and Awesome mechs after today's tabletop battletech game. Somehow my whole lance ended up 100% energy weapons.

[GM Yuusha]

Energy weapons are flashy and awesome.

The Black Knight and the OMG crazy medium laser battery Hunchback are also good.

Glad you had fun Yori. Ready for combat next week?

[Aleksandr Korolov]

I do like the PPC quite a bit

[GM Yuusha]

PPCs are joy. I was surprised nobody else wanted a BJ-3. Is it the letters?

Double PPC Blackjack with DHS to fire both of them. Is joy.
