Lemniscate Blue posted:If Ravager is our only current source of potential new clues, it's best to butter her up a bit. Ask her whether she'd prefer to have the Thunderbolt repaired to its current pirate spec or restored to factory, as a sign of good faith.

painedforever posted:I wonder if I go straight along 0611, I'll come out right next to the Crusader... and I can hit him very short-range. It does look like this version has a pair of SRM6s, so be mindful of those.

PoptartsNinja posted:The Stalker’s battering ram of a torso vanished behind the low rocky ridge it had used as a makeshift firing shelf. Stalkers had a certain straightforwardness to their design. Nearly every aspect of the ‘Mech was designed to minimize its frontal profile; it was designed for full frontal assaults. From the sides, the Stalker was more vulnerable. It wasn’t a ‘Mech designed to maneuver and brawl the way the BattleMaster had been. I still say the Stalker looks too much like a walking buttplug, but I appreciate there being a lore explanation.

Scintilla posted:This description makes me think of the Kontio. It's got a pair of claws, Triple Strength Myomer, and a ridiculous top speed of 172.8 km/h, so it can always get behind an enemy and pry open their weak rear armour and feast on their delicious innards. It also looks like a deranged serial killer. Finally! A 40-tonner worth having!

Fuzzy Mammal posted:So why are the star league and combine antagonists anyway? I don't know the lore that well but I always thought the SLDF kind of did what they wanted and it would be stupid to go up against them as a single house. The Star League of this era was very much a tinder box, and it's not all or even mostly thanks to The Amazing Stephan and Boy Wonder Richy. There had already been 3 Shadow Wars. Those wars caused a hell of a lot of disruption, and exposed a foundational problem with the SLDF: it only really had the tools to deal with open and blatant rebellion. When it came to actually upholding what Star League was supposed to be, and maintaining the peace between supposedly peer members, it was okay, at best. As for Kurita in particular, it was involved in all three Shadow Wars and had basically taken every opportunity to test what was allowed, or could be gotten away with. It was so bad that for the first half of the Amaris Civil War Kerensky was avoiding moving through DC space because he had to take in the possibility that Kurita was the true mastermind.
