If you're using an AC/20, you only need to hit the target once. If the target's still standing, you oughta be somewhere else anyway.
Hello dudes.

I've been drawing a piece of fanart for the contest. Thanks for giving me a little push in drawing my first mech! Feet gave me some trouble. I've drawn it freehand, scanned it and photoshopped out the pencil traces that the eraser couldn't eliminate completely.

I've tried to portray the PTN-timeline sword wielding Assassin, as I've liked the concept very much. I've tried to keep the lineart clear, in the spirit of the old crappy original drawings.



What do you think? Maybe I'll use finer pointed pens next time.

Profile-wise it looks fantastic! I could probably pick out a few issues (left leg is too small for the perspective, torso/nose goes from looking upright to leaning about halfway up the torso) but I like it a lot.

Thanks! I saw the left leg issue but it was already inked. The nose twist is something I didn't notice, drat.

I think I'll do legs better next time. The weird curved ankles also gave me a headache.

“My armor’s breached,” Major Huang brought the Wolverine’s left arm up across her torso, trying to sacrifice it to block a shot or two. “And my Gyro’s been hit—cover for me, I need to withdraw to take stock of the damage.”

“Understood,” Lieutenant Shwetz frowned. He’d only recently been promoted to lance leader, but pursuit lances tended to be single-minded. Coupled with the demands of piloting a Dola, taking command of the company would be difficult. “Press the engagement, but watch out for those enemy autocannons. That UrbanMech’s got to be running low on ammo, but he can still tear any of us to shreds if you give him a good shot!”

Nice brawling, it's too bad that Sha Yu is dug in incredibly well now (Heavy woods and smoke to boot). Probably best to focus hard on the V12 Vedette and try to get it down before the other one can fully join back up. It's rear armor has already been whittled away, and you have those heavy woods right next to it to use for cover.

Anticipating resistance to the large production runs of new medium mechs from the more hidebound members of the DCMS officer corps, the scientists and engineers at Luthien Armor Works looked to an old chassis as a test bed for the new armor, weapon, and heat sink development. The QKD-15K retains the jump jets of previous models, but has been upgraded with Angel ECM, a sword, and a head mounted flamer for point defense capabilites. A new Lord's Light Light PPC and dumbfire Rocket Launcher 15 provide the mech with offensive capability to use as it closes to sword fighting range.

Orders are due tonight. Anyone planning on going to 0414 1414? I want to set my Dola up to go after the Urbie next turn. I can jump to 0215 2015 but that won't give me much in the way of firing this turn. But I don't want to declare heading into 0414 and then collide with someone else.

Edit: I'm going to jump the Dola to 0215 2015 and aim for the best attack possible against the UrbanMech next turn. Myrmidon is going into the Sha Yu's hex and shooting the AC/10 Vedette.

Second edit: literally every hex number was a typo. Fixed my orders.

“The shark’s running.”

“We have bigger problems,” Lt. Chavez cursed. She’d been given one of the Confederation’s new Catapults in exchange for her old Apollo, but was still having some difficulty wrapping her mind around the bird-legged heavy ‘Mech. She’d lost none of the Apollo’s speed, and the target acquisition gear was first-rate, but the center of gravity was not what she was accustomed to. As she leapt to an island of relative safety, another shell from that damned Urbanmech smashed the Catapult’s right side, shredding a minor power conduit but fortunately missing the ammo bins.

“Just focus on putting down those tanks,” Lt. Vitaliy sounded harried. “I’ve got the UrbanMech, and we can run down a recalcitrant mercenary later. It would’ve been worse if he’d stuck around and gotten us into a crossfire.”

“Right,” Myeong replied. “My leg’s shot and I’m down a launcher. I probably shouldn’t risk any more jumps. I would be very appreciative if someone would help me put down one of those heavy autocannon carriers.”

My answer to that is the same as last turn: since targeting computers do most of the work keeping weapons on a designated target, they just have to choose when to fire and can spend more time focusing on other things. That gives the pilot an extra second or so each turn and negates a lot of basic piloting tests, including the one for missed kicks.

I wouldn't go that far. The Urbanmech has always been dangerous with good positioning and this new one is no different. Any fight where it doesn't get to play turret in an annoying location while you're forced to deal with bigger threats ends with it only getting a shot or 2 off.

Oof, another turn of mostly whiffs. Also, I really should've picked up on the meaning of the Sha Yu's name, though being a Cantonese speaker IRL probably threw me off.

Anyway, might be late with orders this weekend because I'm gonna be drained working NYCC every day until Monday and my birthday being Saturday, so can I request an extension for this turn?

Also, I really should've picked up on the meaning of the Sha Yu's name, though being a Cantonese speaker IRL probably threw me off.

It's okay, nobody else bought Field Manual: Capellan Confederation either

Oof, another turn of mostly whiffs. Also, I really should've picked up on the meaning of the Sha Yu's name, though being a Cantonese speaker IRL probably threw me off.

Anyway, might be late with orders this weekend because I'm gonna be drained working NYCC every day until Monday and my birthday being Saturday, so can I request an extension for this turn?

Absolutely.

I do speak mandarin, so the Capellan mechs are quite aptly named to me (most of them at least, I do not claim to have seen all of them, so who knows, could have some funny translations there).

Its almost like we're a Bureaucracy, in space!

I set sail for the Planet of Lab Requisitions!!

I will go stand on and battle claw the vedettes as I can't risk my open CT being hit by their HMG and I don't have a real chance of catching the Sha Yu. The myrmidon could try catch the Sha You but I think the rest of us should just focus on taking out the tanks.

Lower those eyebrows, young man. And the other one.
So this will sound crazy but I want you guys to hear me out.

Lie down and let the urbie kill you.

I know it sounds crazy but it just might work.

I'm planning on heading to 1415 this next turn to fire on the AC/10 Vedette with my own autocannons.

I think the real takeaway from this mission is not to underestimate anything with an AC/10.

Well, it is a UAC/10 that generates less heat and mostly ignores the new defensive gimmick.
