Ah, so the Ceres is simply going to cross paths with the Avalon as it makes its way back to base? That makes more sense. I suppose a confrontation is simply a matter of time then.

I'm gonna be away this weekend (including today) so I won't be posting much, if at all. Will resume Monday. =/

Gai, where are the three Zamza-Zah units? #2 is attacking Sara and Jacob, and #3 which I thought was #1 is fighting Black Mage. Where's the other one?

Sume Gai · Fri Jan 30, 2009 5:19 pm

It's between Bian and Daniel Smith. I assumed that Black Mage was attacking the unoccupied one.

so

1. is guarding the subs
2. is fighting Jacob
3. is fending off Black Mage

I remember something about somebody doing lineart fot the RPG's characters somewhere... who was offering that again?

Sume Gai · Fri Jan 30, 2009 7:44 pm

I'm pretty sure it was Strike Zero.

Nero · Fri Jan 30, 2009 7:47 pm

Okay... now I know who to ask to make some art for Riku and Risa... though i'll need a bit to think about it...

Kylern · Sun Feb 01, 2009 6:20 pm

So for the Ceres vs Avalon thing are we waiting for the launch signal or what cause I'm confused whats going on?

Wingnut · Sun Feb 01, 2009 6:41 pm

I really don't know. I was thinking that either Omega or Gai would start things, but if either of them are waiting on the Ceres to make a move, I need to know.

Sume Gai · Sun Feb 01, 2009 6:55 pm

The Ceres can respond to the Avalon's presence (and give launch orders) but before anything really happens Omega needs to make a move.

so we're waiting on him. (theoretically I could get him moving, but I think it's something he should to do himself)

EDIT: Kylern will be highly disappointed by the effectiveness of his attacks...

Kylern · Mon Feb 02, 2009 2:34 pm

No not disappointed because you didn't realize I re-set it to its pre-settings. It was firing at normal mode not the modified anti-KMF setting.

And I shall not be turned away. One thing about having a remote unit is if it is destroyed nothing happens to my character... Plus I have V-Converting Armor so I can afford to take some ballistic hits before the machine is in trouble. (V-Converting armor is that little bar in Virtual On that absorbs a limited number of shots before the unit actually takes damage. Sort of like Phase Shift in SEED just not as powerful).

Edit: Gah I sound so conceded... I have no intention of messing with your plans. I'm just playing my character out and he won't give up.

Sume Gai · Mon Feb 02, 2009 4:17 pm

Kylern: there is no way in hell you can do that. I don't know what prejudices you have against Geass but standing on the ship means you are being pelted from pretty much every side by AA fire. the TEMJIN would be dust by now not to mention that looks like hit calling to me

Kylern · Mon Feb 02, 2009 4:28 pm

I never hit called... I never said I did any damage, nor have I done anything else. Also the Avalon was not as heavily armed at the top as the bottom which was shown in the anime because the ship was designed to attack targets lower than itself.

And no I wouldn't be shot up because I deployed a breaker field which can absorb CIWS fire last time I looked. I haven't done a single thing unwarranted this entire time, nor am I going to. Theres a battle going on and since my unit is the only one with a heavy beam weapon deployed I chose to irritate a ship which mind you is smaller than any other battleship in this game. 200meters is paperweight when the smallest Gundam vessels, which are little more than torpedo destroyers are at 150meters.

If you want me to back off please ask and I will. I assumed since you were continuing the battle I would continue to fight.

Edit: Another thing you assume the peashooters on that ship match up to larger units. Mind you the largest gun on that ship is about 75mm which is by all accounts a peashooter. Its not that I have anything against CG, its just I have a problem with it being treated as a similar level to full scale units which the TEMJIN is. So if your expecting a CIWS of a caliber similar to whats armed on KMFs to shred a full size unit then your sadly mistaken. I hate to be a jerk but your starting to piss me off by throwing a fit at every little thing I do.

Wingnut · Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:08 pm

The machine leaped off its board and sent the beam infused weapon down into the armor of the ship as the TEMJIN landed.

This is the only instance I can find in that post where a hit call would have been made. All of Kylern's other moves were legal.

Also, for the record Kylern, how tall is the TEMJIN? I always assumed it was mobile suit sized however you mentioned a height of 16ft earlier which would put it in the same size catagory as a KMF. Did you mean 16m instead?

SNT1 · Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:10 pm

I'm just waiting for the current battle to end--- any Federation forces want to do joint operations after? Or are there future plans that my Federation forces can tag along with? Meeting @Wake Island; I finally know what I want to do with my forces... There's like what, 2 or 3 Feddy ships right now?

And the 1/100 Temjin kit is abut as big as your typical 1/100 Gunpla, so 16m height is a reasonable assumption

According to various sources on the internet, the TEMJIN is indeed around 16 meters tall. That puts it about four times the height of a standard Knightmare Frame.

My Feddy character is currently on her way to join in on the Super Secret Projectâ„¢ she was told about earlier. I don't know if you want to involve yourself with that, but I'll be starting it as soon as the Ceres gets back to Aidoneus.

Kylern · Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:15 pm

According to size charts its between 15.5 and 16 meters. I wanna say 15.76 or something like that. If I said ft then that was a typo and wouldn't be right anyways since Japanese mecha are only in metric.

as for the sword and landing thing yeah I can see how thats hit calling. I assumed if I didn't mention damage, which I wasn't trying to do then it wouldn't be breaking any rules. I just didn't figure this would turn into the mess it did.

Wedge14 · Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:15 pm

I found this on GameFaqs

- Height: 15.2 metres
- Weight: 7.62 tons (without weapons)
- Weight: 20.3 tons (with weapons)
- Maximum power output: 4.62 megawatts

Also hit calling is a no-no for sure even if you don't state the damage done. I would also consider the amount of actions he took in one single post a bit questionable.

See now if Gai had just been nice about things I would have gone ahead and edited without trouble. I'm just tired of the constant yelling at me and demanding me to do things.

Edited: I have edited my post and took out any hint of landing. Instead I sent the Blue Slider towards the nearest Missile launcher before it could reload and readied myself for contact. Of course the Break field stays on to prevent that pesky low caliber CIWS guns.

Frustration and tempers run high. Just shake hands and laugh about it.

Work together not against each other as well. If people just listened to that alot of these problems be avoided. Use the PM feature and talk to your opponent when you wanna try something complicated. Choreograph it and work together.

I.E. "Hey dude will it be okay if shoot this grappling hook into your ship, then swing around with it and take out the bridge?"

"No man, I don't wanna lose my bridge theres alot of important PCs on that ship i want to develop more thoroughly. But how about you shoot the grappling hook into the ship swing and attack the two ZZ escorts?"

"Yeah That's a cool idea too. I'll do that. That'll really make my custom made Batman gundam look super kawaii!!!~"

So just work together guys. You're all on the same team here.
