Hyoseph Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 So for those of us not in a combat, should we expect an update any time soon? I know Quantum Fire has taken a lot of attention, but are we essentially in holding pattern or... what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I believe we're trying to get folks into a chat for the combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven's Reach ST Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Alright, a bit of slacking off because of working on aberrant doesn't mean I'm not going to keep Heaven's reach going.. (also because of work lately, life has to take a priority too) Now, the plan to meet yesterday to work on this thread of combat was derailed by work, and I failed to indicated to enough folks that I planned to pick up the slack today, so we'll try this again. Saturday, tomorrow, 11 am pacific standard time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Volkov Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Oh, I might watch to see how things go. Depending on if I can get somewhere where I can watch at leisure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven's Reach ST Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The intent had been to shorten the file that had the battle, but I lost it with an accident reboot.. so, I'm going to have to make a shorter post then I had intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Volkov Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Well, never the less, it is as they say... ON. And Lady Vera is NOT PLEASED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Volkov Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Keen Sight Active, I need some help here, I got 1st Awareness Excellency, how does that work? Also what do I spend to activate both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Fire Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 1st awareness is 1 mote per dice added, to activate any keen sense is just 3 motes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Volkov Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Okay I'l gonna pop 5 motes then, 2 for +2 dice for a perception test, and 3 for activating keen sight. I'll be making perception rolls tomorrow to find our miscreant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 So. Any word on the exciting fighter jet v. hoverbike chase? Cuz...was hoping to see it resolved before I post more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krul Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Update: Full computer access to be regained tomorrow, at which point will be actively posting once more. And by full, I mean no longer using other folks computers to access the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vera Volkov Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Okay, how much of a speed loss would I suffer if I switch to Warstrider Mode? Pretty much this is my plan: 1: Switch to Warstrider 2: Slam into the hoverbike (and pilot) bringing all of us down to ground level 3: On hitting ground use Hull-preserving technique to have my craft shrug off hitting the ground 4: While the baddie is recovering from several tons of Warstrider spearing them in the career I climb out of my cockpit and get my sidearms ready. The other option is using my warstrider's melee weapon to cut said hoverbike in twain. I'm wagering that the hoverbike will not survive my attack... So how do I do this, and is this even possible? If this sounds like a bad idea I am not stuck on this... thing is I don't want to start shooting 3 mote shots when I only have 25 total, and a miss could cause civilian casualties the bad guy can use to get away.

Krul Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm not going to say out and out that you can't do this, you can, I'd need a piloting roll and a athletics roll.. the problem is what she can do in response... once you join battle with her, if within two rounds of action, she wants to be elsewhere, she can retroactively shift herself to have never been there. You'd need to draw out the combat senquence longer then that, or make your intial attack one that doesn't give her a chance to act at all, blasting her out of the sky with extreme damage would do that.

Vera Volkov Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That, and the potential for a ton of collateral. I really don't know how to proceed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Take the shot! () Seriously though, I recommend not overthinking it. Your character has a second or two to make up her mind. Go with your gut and we'll RP the consequences. Things don't have to turn out golden to be a fun and interesting story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin OOC Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 FIRE IN THE HOLE! ahem, now for my vote... BLOW SOMETHIN' UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Volkov Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Very well... this is an enemy of the crown... so I would have to draw this fight out first so she can't retcon it? If I just one-hitter quitter her, she'll just say "nope, hax". So I gotta stretch this out a bit... I think the cannon should be a good chaser to start. I think I need to practice with the onboard weapon control system... first time in a variable geometry warstrider. Just breakin' her in. Once I can get her to do a rollback, I will spear her in her career. So, what am I rolling? Actually can I make my moves this Weekend? Or at least when I know you're on, Krul?

Krul Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Havn't had as much time online this week as I would like, but I'll be around this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Volkov Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'll be on solid starting about 1pm on Saturday. I've made an attack, also what is this I hear about "Hellstrider"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Volkov Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Oh and is there anyone else even making an attempt at helping to intercept this punk? Right now it seems I'm flying solo. We sort of need all hands on deck against a Sidereal. Is there a reason why I'm being allowed to go after her solo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Because you're in a fighter jet, and she's on a motorcycle? And more to the point, the only other one anywhere nearby is Zed (who is not on a combat vehicle) who is actually pretty close by still, so you could talk to him and see about what he can do to help. I sorta figured he'd be the one to confirm the kill though, since he lacks the giant autocannons. Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much. Kestrel's the one who is sorta running the show, so if it goes sideways you can blame her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubio OOC Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Zed lacks many things. Among them, a clue. However, he's definitely trying to catch up with his non-existent driving skills just to see a space fighter chase a hoverbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven's Reach ST Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Well, folks, as this point, next post from me is going to be a new thread, so go ahead and make your closing posts from this one, then we'll be moving to the next major mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnis Methis Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 So I can make that last post, what were the people involved in the negotiation (that I care about) wanting? Queen, Admiral, Althea, Dan, Nexus? Since at this point Methis could probably write the treaty on a napkin and have it be viewed as high politics, I'm interested in seeing what comes out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubio OOC Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Why do I get the feeling it's poor Zed who will have to do the aforementioned bagging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Volkov Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Zed'll not do it alone. It's Vera's mess, she should have a hand in collecting the evidence she left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstar Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well after my hiatus from the site, I'd like to ask if it's okay for me to return to the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krul Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't have any issues with it, we've been going slowly, which is my fault, I've been completely exhausted this week, between work and watching my brothers kids until their dad gets home, I love them and I've not got a problem doing it, but it eats into my sleep/rest schedule in ways that I haven't gotten the hang of yet, which is why I haven't been on as much. On a side note, this is the end of the Diplomatic agenda's thread, I'll be posting that this weekend, then some training time.. then a mission into the Teminus.. so you may want to prepare for entry into the realm of the dead and undead.
