Friar John posted:Holy loly I wasn't expecting Sea Fox 4 to even hit the Jackrabbit with the OSSRM, let alone crit it twice. I think you should come onto the island. Walk 1011. Guns at short, both lasers, and a hotshot LRM. That leaves you at 7 net heat after walking. Or do both launchers and 1 laser to be at 10, but I wouldn't risk a shutdown roll yet. Save going super hot for next turn.

How do ghost targets work? It's not like we really need em, but I'm totally turning them on after the hermes and jackrabbit are dead. Gonna gently caress w the Cicada pilot to finish this one off right.

Gonna gently caress w the Cicada pilot to finish this one off right. Even if they existed, they are garbage. IIRC it was an opposed piloting roll with some weird modifiers and the effect was based on how much you beat the other guy by. Because your piloting skills are even remotely similar you would probably get little to no value from it and almost certainly not more than the value of having active ECM.

anyway I got confirmation about detaching from a swarm, it takes the full turn so I'm gonna let point 5 ride off into the sunset singing the praises of oxyclean to that poor Raptor pilot dice permitting, it means the Raptor is off the map and the pilot is alive so I think it's a very good trade.

I figure things would just start self combusting in the vicinity of the mech. Or in some cases, things beginning to turn soft or melt.

The Mosiro Affair 10 One of the enemy ‘Mechs fell, hard, in a manner suggestion the pilot had fallen unconscious, overwhelmed by the combination of an ammunition explosion and the Star Captain shredding the myomer bundles in the ‘Mech’s right leg with his machine guns. Tihanna winced empathetically, she felt that impact even if the tremors of it couldn’t reach her. The Free Worlder didn’t move after, even as its engine completed its automated restart. Its motionless arms pointed skyward, its gauss rifles charged but silent. The ‘Mech had full power, but no real will to fight. Gyro crippled by a combined salvo, the Hermes III that had been her own target fell. A moment later, the Mechwarrior within powered the machine down, either not wanting to risk standing or certain they wouldn’t get far if they did. An instant later the enemy’s communications jamming ended, and Tihanna’s DI computer announced a successful hack of the enemy’s encryption. “Star Captain, I have cracked their encryption. Sending you the enemy comm. frequencies.” Tihanna broadcast. She didn’t hesitate to add, “Please radio the DropShip. The bulbous one is going to need medical attention for certain.”    Movement Phase Tiburon 1 (Player) - Sets Watchdog CEWS to ECCM! Tiburon 2 (Player) - Sets Watchdog CEWS to ECCM!
