Fan Fiction / Re: Opalescent Reflections

« Last post by The Wobbly Guy on Today at 20:47:35 »

Actually, in the foreword of the House Davion sourcebook, the writer says the following:

On a personal note, I would like to thank ComStar Director Julian Tiepolo for entrusting me with this project. Not only was it a great personal honor to serve ComStar—and truth—in this way, but it also gave me the opportunity to research the factual history of my purported ancestor, Stefan Amaris.
—Anastasia Marcus, Historical Director, Davion Research Project, ComStar Archives, Terra, 3028

So it's highly probable there are actual descendants of Stefan Amaris around, children born from his concubines.

What's funny is that they (the steel vipers) thought there was just one descendant. How does that make sense at all?

Watching Hellboy, 2019; it's well composed, and made, but, the script is side-quest after flash-back etc.

I hope they haven’t run into anymore issues and this is just the amount of workload required.

Ok Guys, Rate or give opinion on your team's draft. I'll say that whoever is running the ****** front office maybe did some good draft day trading? Only time will tell.

Fan Designs and Rules / Re: Polarized Lasers: An Aquatic Weapon for the Thirty-First Century.

My first thought was just to have techs recalibrate the lasers so they work like normal under water. Kind of like having an autocannon set to rapid fire. The drawbacks would be a lot of tech time "repairing" the lasers, along with the associated risks, and shorter ranges when out of water until recalibrated. My second thought was an add on module like Alpha said. I think both would work with the problems of the first leading to the second. There could even be old bulkier SLDF prototypes that could be found that leads to newer better versions.

Amazing video of Juno mission flyby at Europa.  Very peaceful compared to Io.

Can you blow your 'Mech up on purpose? You could use explosive ammo in your hull plus the 'Mech its self as AE damage

Self Destruct rules already exist
