if you cut the subutai i'll burn a building down

jolly gorge
#

I am a subutai disliker

rocky hawk
#

Really????

limber maple
#

They do, but people feel like they end up using them a lot less than when you can grab a license gear to put on whatever frame you want. Just from the feedback I get, haha.

jolly gorge
#

if have expressed my opinion

craggy hinge
#

Nvm Im such a fucking poser. I got the gloire and grutte pier confused. Axe the gloire idc lol

jolly gorge
#

grutte pier is epicsauce

rocky hawk
wary topaz
craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

80% aura 20% waiting

#

Probably my best compendium

wary topaz
rocky hawk
#

That second paragraph at least

wary topaz
#

but we already had like, 2 artillery iirc so like

rocky hawk
wary topaz
#

real

rocky hawk
#

Curious why you dislike it sigo

#

Is it juggernaut drive or diversion rail

limber maple
#

Oh, I see you clearly don't have problems with getting alt-frame feedback. Guess it's just me. 😛

jolly gorge
#

you dont get my incredible opinions anymore since you ghosted me

#

lol

#

it's the diversion rail

rocky hawk
jolly gorge
#

OK

rocky hawk
#

I didn't have much to say because there was nothing that made me leap up and go NO

jolly gorge
#

I mostly just wanted to know if you liked it, like thought it added stuff to the game that is new and fun

#

or most of it at least

#

some of the alts were ass

#

machia and camus

#

were so dumb

rocky hawk
#

To be honest I don't even check for balance as much as I do design philosophy

jolly gorge
#

reworking camus right now lol

rocky hawk
#

And you are very careful in that regard overall

craggy hinge
#

I know it's from a different homebrew but talking about compendium stuff has reignited my love of the nuckelavee's compendium entry. I love this shit it's like crack

image.png
wary topaz
#

is that from horus thy hubris manifest?

#

that has some very cool stuff in it

craggy hinge
#

Grutte Pier's is very good. The best entries read almost like stories, which it does

craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

Thy hubris was the first homebrew I ever saw, I thought it was sick

#

Wasn't a huge fan of the mechanics but that was v1

craggy hinge
#

I cant speak to v1 cuz Ive only ever interacted with v2

rocky hawk
craggy hinge
#

Yeah

#

I feel that

rocky hawk
#

Black mountain, grutte pier, fitzgerald, all had a OOH idea moment but like, purple thorn is just like here's some info

wary topaz
#

i am so ass at writing flavor lol

craggy hinge
#

Maybe it's a universal thing

rocky hawk
#

Some of my favorite flavor text is actually that little bit at the end of zip type that tells you not to get it wet

#

It's just, funny to me

#

For no reason

craggy hinge
#

I don't think I'm ass at writing flavor text but you can def tell when my heart's not in what I'm writing

rocky hawk
#

Or the jorg cycling requirements

rocky hawk
#

I do also feel like, for every Fitz text there has to be a dryer more informative/lore compendium that just, tells you real things

limber maple
#

Some people are capable of really nailing the vibe on a consistent basis, and I'm so jealous of them.

rocky hawk
#

Like myconid/naga aren't gripping or super badass but it's good info about greenwash

craggy hinge
#

I can only hope I'm one of those people

rocky hawk
limber maple
#

Tbf, that can work as a vibe!

rocky hawk
#

I think, what , 70% of the jokes are all gone?

#

Some didn't quite land and when I was friendly with jyva he sent through all the compendiums for grammar and ended up complaining about the jokes

craggy hinge
#

You know. I think I only just noticed that none(?) of sixth voice's core powers have flavor text

rocky hawk
#

SHHHH

#

I'm working on it

craggy hinge
#

Pfffft

#

Sorry

rocky hawk
#

I tried got through purple thorn and got so bored I quit

wary topaz
#

i've got a hydra alt that i have no fucking clue what to give its core power flavor text 😭

limber maple
#

(Admittedly, I'm someone who enjoys injecting a little humour into my fluff, too. "Stop using cryo mines to ice your drinks!" "Yes, this lance does have upscaled versions designed to stab spaceships from the planet's surface.")

wary topaz
#

i think that exotic is probably the single most memorable thing you've made

#

the threat 10 one

rocky hawk
#

I think I have literally ONE piece of dialogue in my compendiums

limber maple
craggy hinge
#

I'm of the opinion dialogue in compendiums is the absolute best way to inject humor in a kind of natural way

rocky hawk
#

I'm just so bad at it

#

And my style of humor is typically very dry, and circumstancial

craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

Free spinning

#

Psychopomp has literally no reason to be a weapon and is functionally just a reaction

limber maple
wary topaz
#

i don't know if going 3 LLs into primrose is worth it for the silly psychopomp spin, but god it would be funny

rocky hawk
#

I have none alas

forest trail
#

pls don't axe gloire

limber maple
rocky hawk
#

LMAO

rocky hawk
#

I won't I promise

#

I love my big beetle boy

wary topaz
craggy hinge
forest trail
#

I love gloire and it's Ram Cable

wary topaz
#

i don't know that ive used like, any diologue actually

#

i'm more fond of bullshit quotes

forest trail
#

Step aside Blackbeard, we've got a prone incoming at mach 5

craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

You just wanna ram don't you

forest trail
#

I love ramming

rocky hawk
#

We did fist earlier

craggy hinge
forest trail
#

LOL IM CHOKED

#

I loved fist

#

It was super fun

rocky hawk
#

Fist is a great system

wary topaz
rocky hawk
#

I should make more gibberish

#

I guess rakshaka core counts

craggy hinge
#

I LOVE "nonsense"

forest trail
#

Clausticatonic

rocky hawk
#

Jyva said vauban was the best one I'd done, as the #1 vauban fan is that true?

#

If not, what is?

forest trail
#

Id need to go back and look at the things again, I remembered the thing from Rakshaka silver tongue stuff and myconid's form

rocky hawk
#

Silver tongue is so heat

#

be mine be mine be mine be mine be mine

#

Break thy will upon the rocks

forest trail
#

Ive always wanted to see how Rakshaka played I've never seen one yet

#

It's- I can't even say over shadowed- over spotlight by newer alts

rocky hawk
#

You've played with shadow on one early on

craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

No, it just sounded badass in my head

craggy hinge
#

It also sounds badass out of your head

rocky hawk
forest trail
rocky hawk
#

You were the orb and he was a rakshasa

#

It did get changed pretty heavily since

#

Its got a nice play pattern now of swapping turn to turn which is fun

forest trail
rocky hawk
#

Basically it's about how ha really fucked around to unlock the secrets of gravity and how it's a really bad idea

forest trail
#

Wait fuck I don't have access to my PC rn

#

Do you have the newest version of the lcp?

wary topaz
rocky hawk
#

The earth was made to be shattered, metal was made to be heated and broken and battered. The world was made to be destroyed piece by piece. The Vauban stands as the Harrison's testament to dominion, each piece bent towards the singular point of progress and control. With the vast amount of data being spewed out of the Broadcasts it was only a matter of time until something truly devastating was unleashed that really ought to have stayed unknown. The Vauban was built upon that something. Gravity control is a tough nut to crack, and even now its secrets are not yet all teased out of its potential, but HA found enough to work with, and work with it they did. By leveraging hyper localized gravity pulses, the Vauban can sunder the ground, turning it into a mass of dangerous shards that can rend and drag down unwary opponents. No one can beat gravity forever.

#

Typo spotted

forest trail
#

I remember now

#

As much as I love it, I think something else surpasses this fluff for me

#

I believe

#

The Naga's megamind fuck super riddle code crack sequence

#

Idk what possessed you

rocky hawk
#

That's actually based on a real arg I did for some of my players during a lancer campaign

wary topaz
#

nerd

forest trail
#

But that was some amazing lore

forest trail
rocky hawk
#

Also horus doing args is like, so obvious I have no idea it didn't happen already

forest trail
#

Maybe it was those things where it was thought of common sense that it looped around to never actually happening

#

But it was seriously my favorite one

rocky hawk
# forest trail AmazingER lore wtf

Had some puzzles where people had to find a picture that had hidden brail in it that made them find specific notes from a specific song to decode a file

forest trail
#

It reads the same from Lich's license being told piece by piece

forest trail
#

That's SO COOL

rocky hawk
#

Ended in a poem/little write up from what was implied to be ra asking about why you'd give people you love tools of war

rocky hawk
#

They had to find a phrase hidden in a specific format of an audio file ( it only showed up visibly )

#

Stuff like that

#

Had puzzles about lore from a bunch of different games I had run not just lancer

forest trail
#

That is omfg?? That is so way too cool how did they even figure out how to convert shit

rocky hawk
#

I actually had to help them for a lot of it

#

But there were hints

forest trail
#

Wait wait wait was this physical too?

#

Or all still digital

#

You did this all in foundry??

rocky hawk
#

There was one that was a program that sent a specific number of error popups that had to be counted and used in an equation

craggy hinge
#

Furthest I've ever gone is encoding teasers in different ciphers. I'd never go through all that effort cuz my players would never figure it out 😭

rocky hawk
#

Id send em files

#

I still have a couple somewhere but it's probably half bricked

forest trail
#

I gotta re read the naga in this new context

rocky hawk
#

The broadcasts themselves aren't super elaborated upon in the lore for a couple reasons but they are a huge deal in my setting

forest trail
#

I thought it was this cool code-runner type narrative but this is based on real events

rocky hawk
#

Because horus openly raided galsim at the same time to essentially make a second ra

#

And the arg was about that also

forest trail
rocky hawk
#

It was a HUGE deal that fucked union up so bad they pulled out of so many places

forest trail
rocky hawk
#

Well in my setting ra is like, a set thing

wary topaz
rocky hawk
#

And has some extra goals

forest trail
rocky hawk
#

Basically a mathematical recreation of a modern day Jesus

rocky hawk
#

Monist 4 is like .5 of a ra

wary topaz
#

.5 of a ra is still much more than 0 of a ra

forest trail
rocky hawk
#

But I didn't want to include any of my hyper specific setting lore in the lcp so that's why it's just

#

3 is apep 4 is Hathor and uh no clue about the ktb

#

I don't do a lot with them

craggy hinge
#

Youre so real for that

rocky hawk
#

I gave em an in universe manufacturing proxy

#

Like a shell company that is basically where all the NPCs are from

#

Called thunderhead

wary topaz
#

manufacturer whos ceo is literally just ra

rocky hawk
#

No thats the ktb Ra doesn't give a shit about the mechs

#

Ra is thinking way bigger picture

wary topaz
#

manufacturer whos ceo is the entirety of the ktb

#

like, every single person is simultaneously the ceo

craggy hinge
#

Manufacturer whos ceo is [WITNESS]

rocky hawk
#

It's basically a company funded by the ktb that gets around trade restrictions

forest trail
#

Lmao KTB already does that

wary topaz
forest trail
#

So it's a company that out-KTBs the KTB

rocky hawk
#

Yeah

craggy hinge
wary topaz
#

oh i meant the thing from | wallflower, like the egregorian thing |

rocky hawk
rocky hawk
craggy hinge
forest trail
#

It totally makes sense though

wary topaz
#

i can never remember all the formatting stuff for discord

rocky hawk
unreal crypt
craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

Not fully cannon but it's mentioned in manticore flavor text

wary topaz
#

as far as i know that is a kinda complicated question to answer

unreal crypt
#

Ah right that feller

rocky hawk
#

Potential monist 3 that exists in like, 1 short story

craggy hinge
#

APEP is the unofficial Monist-3 and seems to be a heavy advocate of chaos or chaos-adjacent things

craggy hinge
wary topaz
rocky hawk
#

I just have it fully cannon in mine but in base lancer it's not

rocky hawk
#

Appetite

forest trail
rocky hawk
#

I mention it in uh sluagh

wary topaz
#

coleslaw

forest trail
#

"Oh my God they're gonna get Monist 4!"
".....4?"

rocky hawk
#

Begone foul apep, their souls are mine to keep and hold and love forever I think it is

craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

It's all ras fault

forest trail
#

Mom

wary topaz
craggy hinge
#

Morally dubious stuff? Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down! /lh

forest trail
# wary topaz coleslaw

Also adding to this, I wouldve never anticipated the first impressions of its art is "huh it looks like a bush"

craggy hinge
#

What kind of bush looks like that

rocky hawk
#

What looks like a bush?

forest trail
#

The Sluagh, from afar, on tabletop

rocky hawk
#

Thats fucking nuts it's bright pink and purple

wary topaz
#

i've always thought it looked like those really fake, plastic plants

rocky hawk
#

Also yellow, I've gotten several comments about how the lovers knot is the best art yet

rocky hawk
wary topaz
#

it is quite good

rocky hawk
#

I think it's my favorite so far but naga is close

#

Then myconid

wary topaz
#

i think koremasa is my favorite out of the arts

#

myconid is really good

rocky hawk
#

Fuck.... That's a good point

craggy hinge
#

My fav is probably Sluagh (speak of the devil) but they're all really good

rocky hawk
#

Myconid I think is just, so different compared to every mech ever

#

Which is why I love it

wary topaz
#

it is very 🍄 🍄‍🟫 🦠

rocky hawk
#

Blood and exposed bone with veins

#

Like scraped off meat

#

It's so spindly and scary

craggy hinge
#

I think I'd like the Myconid a lot more if I wasn't such a massive fan of the base Gorgon's design

rocky hawk
#

Yellow said he imagined it crawling out of an ally and I'd kill to see that

wary topaz
#

gorgon does have a goated design

forest trail
#

I might've projected too much into my thinking of "this thing is TERRIFYING"

rocky hawk
#

Like some poor guy getting the scare of his fucking life

forest trail
wary topaz
#

honestly i don't like imagining it moving like, at all

rocky hawk
#

Dark out, alone on the street , guess who just got promoted to lancer! It's you!

wary topaz
#

i cannot imagine it moving in any normal, non-offputing way

rocky hawk
#

Enjoy your jumpscare

rocky hawk
forest trail
#

It moves in bursts, like it's in pain but doesn't respond or acknowledges it

rocky hawk
#

Fuck.....

wary topaz
#

i can also imagine it oozing

#

like that thing definitely oozes

craggy hinge
#

Eugh I hate that

#

Why would you say that

rocky hawk
#

Oozes FOR SURE

#

Yellow get on it

#

Oozing

#

Rn

forest trail
#

Fuck I need to do that wide shot

#

With the myconid

#

And fitzgerald

rocky hawk
#

Yessssss

#

Take your time though

wary topaz
#

mike and geremy

rocky hawk
#

You work like 12 hour shifts 5 days a week

#

Do not have a heart attack

#

Your doctors won't save you with a 4k bounty on your head

craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

They got wanted posters out for you dead or alive

wary topaz
forest trail
#

Wait the context is too deep

rocky hawk
forest trail
#

anyways though, I love the Naga's fluff, it's super super fun and awesome and I love puzzles

#

I can't stay here long because Everytime I think about sixth voice the more I wanna play it

rocky hawk
#

Naga is goated nationwide salt boy

craggy hinge
#

Whatever that means

forest trail
#

LOL THE CONTEXT IS TOO DEEP

rocky hawk
#

Chowdermancer

wary topaz
#

clam chowder is just soupslop

forest trail
#

Oh my god I got a headache after that from laughing too much

#

My chest was caving in

rocky hawk
#

Real image yellow made today

wary topaz
#

rocky hawk
craggy hinge
rocky hawk
#

My brother gave me a birthday card that was "congrats on your child's christening" and it came with a yay! Your 3! Sticker

#

I had a headache for half an hour after

wary topaz
#

i should make a venn diagram where the categories are soupslop, soupgem, and the elusive gemslop in the middle

rocky hawk
#

Fuck you

forest trail
rocky hawk
#

He then had me open 20 fucking boxes for a single piece of paper

#

They were all stacked up and nested

wary topaz
#

incredible

rocky hawk
#

It took 5 minutes to open

wary topaz
#

you should send him 20 dollars in pennies that you cut in half

rocky hawk
#

How do I cut a penny

#

Much less 5 billion

wary topaz
#

big scissors

#

karate chop

forest trail
#

Send him a 20 dollar bill folded 8 times (it generates a black hole)

rocky hawk
rocky hawk
wary topaz
#

8 dollar bill folded 20 times

rocky hawk
#

Including a stuffed toy of the cleaning robot I hate at my job

#

Shred one and put a piece in 10 boxes

wary topaz
#

It looks like something that causes Jamming while in a burst 3 lmfao

rocky hawk
#

It does

#

It jams up isles for sure

wary topaz
rocky hawk
#

Pishly in general does this a lot

rocky hawk
#

Not moreso than any other soups but

wary topaz
#

forest trail
#

I did try a legitimate gumbo and thought it was okay

rocky hawk
#

Its meant to be poured over rice and it's goated

rocky hawk

rocky hawk
#

One of the OGs even

#

First 5?

wary topaz
#

unc mech

rocky hawk
#

You can tell which ones I made first

#

Leoleth mainly

wary topaz
#

leoleth is so funny to me cause like

rocky hawk
#

Thorn too

forest trail
#

Actually...maybe it is omg cause it was Leoleth, Fitzgerald, Gloire, Maiden's blush

rocky hawk
#

Leoleth IS funny it's probably the funniest thing in the whole lcp

forest trail
#

Purple Thorn

wary topaz
#

i tried to make a psuedo-ordnance melee frame a while back and failed horribly and then like 2 weeks later i saw the leoleth and it was like, exactly what i was envisioning

rocky hawk
#

The literal first one isnt even around anymore

wary topaz
#

what was first?

rocky hawk
#

It took a couple revisions to be balanced at all

rocky hawk
#

But it turned into sluagh

forest trail
#

Was Black Mountain part of wave 1 or wave 2?

wary topaz
rocky hawk
#

BM was wave 1

wary topaz
#

and perhaps slip you a 0 dollar bill under the table

forest trail
#

Wave 2 was myconid, sluagh definitely

#

Subutai

rocky hawk
#

Uh subutai was pretty early I think

wary topaz
#

oh fair enough

#

i shall simply read through every message you have ever posted to find it

rocky hawk
#

Thorn, leoleth, Fitz, subutai, black mountain, rakshasa

forest trail
#

Vauban was wave 2 holy shit

rocky hawk
#

It was

#

Wave 1.5

wary topaz
#

New anti car mech coming soon for sure

#

The colored one is so good too, I just saw it

craggy hinge
#

Yo Bel. Going back to the discussion last night about compendium entries: There was one from sixth voice I remember liking but couldn't for the life of me recall what it was exactly (blame my poor memory, not that it didn't leave an impression). The Hazard's compendium as a whole is something I'm fond of, but "Don't give up the ship" cuts deep. In a good way

rocky hawk
#

its a real quote from the namesake

#

oliver hazard perry

craggy hinge
#

Not just the words but the way they're used. It's a good inclusion

rocky hawk
#

i feel like most of my ipsn ones are all good

#

other than gloire

#

grutte pier, fitz, hazard

#

idk why, i guess they just have the vibes to em

craggy hinge
#

Idk how you can do it

#

I had to trade slivers of my soul for the faintest bit of interesting ipsn flavor text

unkempt iron
#

Fitz makes me so happy

#

It being a shitfuck nightmare of development hell is really endearing

tender tide
#

sixth voice frames feel very well characterized in their gameplays and i love when a mech does that

#

the fitzgerald gives me the feeling that my head is being kept bolted on by sheer dumb luck the same way that koremasa gameplay makes me try things i otherwise wouldn't be bold enough to do

rocky hawk
#

theme and power fantasy are just as important as mechanic in my mind

#

cause that why people use many of the mechs they do

tender tide
#

truth nuke

#

Grutte Pier reminds you of what life is all about.

M/K2. It shoots like it's running out of time (wastes no time reloading its loading weapons)

M/K2 doesn't hestitate. It exhibits no restraint (ordinance drawback)

It takes and it takes and it takes (structure) and it keeps winning anyway (replaceable parts)

#

Question about the gloire

rocky hawk
#

sure

unkempt iron
#

Does its core power drag them until they are adjacent to you/they collide with an obstacle

rocky hawk
#

till they collide

unkempt iron
#

Ok so they get pulled until they hit you or a piece of terrain

#

And you can order it by closest target so they smack each other like dominos right?

rocky hawk
#

yes

unkempt iron
#

Also, last thing, does rapid rushdown stop early if you collide with something or do you have to move somewhere 5 spaces away

#

Because it says "5 spaces" and not "up to 5 spaces"

rocky hawk
#

move 5 spaces is actually the same as move up to

#

its weird but skirmisher has the same wording

#

and some other stuff

unkempt iron
#

And i have a narc ass rules lawyer at my table who will spend like 20 minutes litigating it

#

Oh cool

#

Neat

rocky hawk
#

typically if its exactly 5 spaces it will say exactly

#

like with charge

#

i think

unkempt iron
#

Word

#

Im realizing this plays in a very mean way with vlad

#

Ramming and impaling them to the floor, pullback into a web jaw that was armed the turn before, overcharging and rushdown into combat drill

#

Definitely reactor heat central for that last part but im intrigued

unkempt iron
#

Idk if this is a compcon v3 thing but the thermal death axe has heat 1 on its uncharged profile

rocky hawk
#

it does now

unkempt iron
#

Does that not make its uncharged profile a significantly worse nanocarbon?

#

Like I get the heat and system point accounting for the charged profile but most multi-function weapons dont have a cost attached to their weaker output

rocky hawk
#

having a base profile thats worse and an alt thats better is intended

unkempt iron
#

Gotcha

rocky hawk
#

liable to change though

unkempt iron
#

Word, it making the charged swing all the better does make sense. It just weirds me out seeing a heavy slot weapon that has a profile of "nanocarbon but worse" as opposed to the heavy tac melee/kinhammer problem

rocky hawk
#

hmm

unkempt iron
#

Not that im saying to make it another khammer situation

#

But the only tag being a negative on a threat 2, 1d6+2 kinetic weapon gives me bad feels, reading it

#

Im aware im beating a mostly inconsequential horse here

#

Its just particularly weirding me out reading it

rocky hawk
#

Hmmm

finite wyvern
#

1d6+2 kinetic threat 2 for a heavy feels really bad if it has self heat

#

Usually most homebrew heavies with an alt profile have like

#

1d6+3 kinetic 1 threat

#

or maybe 2

#

I would never use that to skirmish

tender tide
#

is it not an aux or was that an older version of the primrose license?

#

oh nvm wrong weapon i was thinking rend

unkempt iron
#

Also on the subject of the big thwacky axe, does it not restore charges if the frame has less than 4 speed?

dull vault
#

Heyo! i was thinking of using the sluagh and wanted to ask how is the it meant to play?

rocky hawk
#

Good all around defender and the ability to work with over shield, cover and adjacency gives it a lot of versatility

#

The morigan is a potent tool

#

You can be a damage buffer too with eyes of night

finite wyvern
#

Techy supportware defender

#

definetly chunky with its regenerating ovetshielf

#

but has an important use of utility compared to so many other defenders and some control bcause its a hacker

#

oh wait after jogging my memory the slaugh itself is like

#

not tanky

rocky hawk
#

Its an off tank

finite wyvern
#

exactlu

#

has a ton of utility

#

and its more of a “protector”

#

it gives nearby allies durabilitu rather than tanking for them

#

yeah the slaugh is just

#

surprisingly fragile without armor

#

it needs stuff to die often

#

to gain os

#

but also the semi permanent +1 difficulty on all attacks

rocky hawk
#

Can maintain a fair distance

finite wyvern
#

yeah

#

as you said its an offtank

#

it looks really fun for tank frames

#

maybe a drake build?

#

think about it

#

drake has 0 ta and 10 sensors

#

you might be able to get away with it

i was thinking of using it in a team with enkidu, sherman, empakaii and monarch. so i think it'd work well

is this a sixth voice thing or core?

#

Holy shit the nagah is really cool

Is it in the lcp yet?

#

And if very much fits the striker support vibe I wanted to do

In theory crafting. But a build where you kinda slink around your allies applying supportive buffs occasionally striking out is fun

I mean me myself

I would just make this tortugler 2: tortug harder

I find it really charming and funny to sit there and think about the shibari on it for more than a moment, because that's like shiprigging sized shibari

Only from SSC

shibari looks so sick on mechs

tender tide

gave me a funny mental vision of another ssc/ips-n collaborative project a la empakaai based entirely around shiprigging and using Actual Ropes in mechanized combat

that would be really funny actually

little bit of knockback

oh yeah

just uh

#

what is ur source for this

coral dragon
#

@rocky hawk heyyyyyy should the Sphinx untold secrets say other than itself? Or is it intentional that allies can just inflict things on themselves for you to then inflict stuff on enemies

Screenshot_20260530_142737_Firefox.jpg
#

Because most of the lich stuff says other than itself

rocky hawk
#

it is meant for allies to be able to take debuffs to then move it

#

because it doesnt actually CLEAR the condition having it work with self inflicted felt fine to me

#

pop a seige stabilizers and make someone else imobilized type stuff

rocky hawk
#

and the concept of shibari

coral dragon
#

I thought I would double check and make sure if it was intentional or not

#

@rocky hawk where does the name for the six sky come from?

rocky hawk
#

Lady Six Sky

#

Mayan Warrior Queen

its a culture not really covered by anything so far

and also theres like, no women in the roster

lcp editors are allergic to naming ips-n and HA picks after women

<---- forgot about the zheng award im sorry women

When i make an ha frame it will be non european/ asian (all of asia) girl

#

critting on 18+ instead of 20 doesnt solve the HMG's issue of just whiffing people lol

#

critting is not a guaranteed hit when it's an 18, an 18 still whiffs an evas 19 or 20

#

it gives you a 10% higher chance to get to roll damage twice which is good, but that's weaker on a gun like HMG that has such a big amount of flat damage (2d6+4, as opposed to, say, 3d6)

#

nanocomp HMG with autostab remains broken

#

but this mech in particluar doesnt like it any more than really anyone else

#

the mech is pretty clearly designed with centimane nexus in mind to give you a 10% increased chance to pop centimane

finite wyvern
#

and

#

wait no :P

#

ur right

#

I forgot centimaine only works on nexus

finite wyvern
#

But we dont really have a good heavy nexus to spam

jolly gorge
#

with GMS crisis catalogue there is the GMS, range 10 2d6 kinetic smart heavy nexus

#

which IMO should be in the game at base

#

cuz otherwise it's just the ghast nexus wwhich is good but 2 LL's

finite wyvern
jolly gorge
#

no?

finite wyvern
#

wait

#

am I stupid?

I swore it had 1 heat last I checked

maybe I have an old version or smth?

or maybe you do?

either way mine doesnt say 1 heat

but yeah you could possibly do heavy gunner spam

ghast nexus is real good for heavy gooner tho

personally I prefer more bite

ye

it allows you to cosplay as having a seeking weapon

it allows you to pretend you're almost as good as gandiva missiles

finite wyvern
#

the ghast nexus slander

#

should it (have) be(en) 1d6+4

#

Honestly I agree it's a little underwhelming

jolly gorge
#

I'm running a ghast nexus on a hydra rn, it's fine but I would replace it with gandivas in a heart beat if I had the LL's

#

but we're LL3 so

finite wyvern
#

yeah

#

it's fine

#

but in the world of heavy weapons fine doesnt really cut it

jolly gorge
#

yeah I mean stacking it with drone comm 2 makes the weapon functionally 2d6+3

#

when you consume lock-on

#

so it does have situations in which it is good

#

but the drone can always just get shot

jolly gorge
#

taking conditions to give them out isnt a massively unique idea or anything just curious if you had read the nothic cuz it did something similar

#

@rocky hawk

rocky hawk
#

No it's mostly from antilinear

what is antilinear
