They were going to hold off on selling the Cursed Crow for a bit. Probably until it had been fielded for a few battles and the abilities became well known. They were a bit out there and would be extremely useful as a surprise. It could also use some more field testing. The inconsistent...
Kriff was out of his depth. Oh, he wouldn't say that out loud, or even hint it, but he was. He was a general. A good one in his opinion. He directed military forces. He was decent at politics, but only because that was what was needed once you got up in the ranks. Past a certain point the...
For once, the large designing room didn't feel too empty. It wasn't full mind you, but it had enough people that it didn't feel unpleasant to be in. Bolt entered it with amusement that turned into mild embarrassment as everyone's attention turned to him.
"Was just gonna wait until you had a...
Bolt and Lilly had a new place to play together. It wasn't one they used often, but it was a place both secured and easy to access. They simply had to have a token to enter. In Lilly's case it was a replica of Morning Star. In Bolt's case, one of the many Heart Tokens or one of the mech...
The mind machine interface has issues with non human design. Animals actually have issues too. Dogs and cats work if the pilot grew up with them. As do other animals, hence why the MTA encourages zoos.
"I'm half hoping you have another wonder build that could solve everything else based off this result." Kriff began as he and Bolt spoke after the battle.
The design nodded while examining the general to get a feel of how this would go. The man looked a lot better now than when he'd first...
Lilly stood alone on the field. The mist was not present for once. All that remained was dried and cracked ground, dust, and the remains of mechs they had not bothered to remove. It was a potent visual scene, which was the point.
She wasn't so prideful to think she could win against a small...
Piloting a Ghoul was very hard. Skirmishers in general were actually pretty hard truthfully, but Ghouls were a step above due to their non-standard nature. Most melee skirmishers had knives or blades, with the knowledge that you'd stick them into the vulnerable spots. Very simple and...
Life had been pretty shitty lately. Well, the year had been shitty. The last few days hadn't been bad. Not great mind you, but not bad. Kriff had done his best for his people, but a pilot's lot in life was to fight in mechs. Johnny hadn't expected pure peace when he'd followed the man...
Dai and Wu were settling in relatively well. The mountain was an unusual place to live in, but it had been designed to handle long term occupation. This meant more than just quarters and places to sleep in. Entertainment facilities and places of leisure were also included. Things like...
Bolt was rapidly coming to realize that there was a difference between designing and designing for war. That wasn't to say his mechs weren't capable. They were. He'd just come to realize that there were mistakes made, and he could not easily fix them. The techs involved had free time...
He'd had a name once. It had been a killer name too. It was just hard to remember nowadays. A lot of things were hard to remember truthfully. He recalled smiles, drinks, and laughter. Standing on the line with friends. It was just difficult to think of more than that. Most of his head was...
The main command room was actually one of the rooms that had been used before. It hadn't been used well, but it had been used. Kriff's support staff had already activated more than a few terminals and were speaking with the Wrench Rat techs to get things arranged and customized. The main...
Experts get intuition out of the mech and a few minor things. Nothing like real cultivation bonuses though. Their intuition is top notch though, and aligned along what they broke through under. Pup is protecting his people. Lilly is what people want.
What did it mean to lose a planet? It was something that boggled the mind to contemplate. The average person could not really understand the impact. Lilly herself couldn't really get her mind around it. She didn't much care to either. Sometimes it was best not to think too hard about...
Twould require a complete redesign and likely the removal of some armor. Head trick aside, the main use of the Zombie is that it's a decent and cheap newbie shield mech. The head is best likened to a one time grenade more than anything else.
"We need to revise the Undertaker." Bolt told his friends as they took a seat in the large designer room. "It needs to be either more cost efficient, add more value, or faster to be useful."
Dai gave a small shrug. "That is going to be a task. Should we not just make a new mech?"
Bolt...
