Is it actually that much cheaper than a Victor-9D? Their capabilities aren’t quite identical, but they’re similar enough that I’d think just building more Victors would make more sense than developing a whole new mech that has…a few more SRM tubes and a lot less armor.

Mine shows that it was just shipped today, which is...irritating.

I'll plan to make it out for this. Been getting lots of pickup games in lately so I'll probably be a little more useful than I was last time.

If you need a ride, lemme know

One thing I've really noticed about isekai titles is that for a few years now, the fact that they're isekai has become increasingly irrelevant: if the isekai part were removed, it would have minimal effect on the plot.

What would honestly be nice is if the industry could get away from the RPG-mechanic fantasy idea.

It's a good enough mech that runs into that 60 ton problem of 'where do I put the tonnage?' Think labeling the mech a bodyguard is a little misleading in regards to it capabilities, though it's a mech that definitely shines more as part of a team. Adding it's salvos to which ever mech it's paired with would definitely hurt. Looking forward to what we may see in the upcoming SLDF pack.

Hopefully some of you can help me parse some things out. For a while now I have been inspired by @parable's ceremonial Nova Cat uniform, and coupled with a bunch of friends who religiously attend DragonCon, I've been thinking of putting together a Nova Cat field uniform.

I'm trying to figure out some of what Randall meant in his descriptions though. The field uniform is described as a "full-length body suit", which I actually take to mean something like a one-piece flight suit or coveralls rather than a form fitting spandex body-suit. I was thinking something like this or this with "banded collar".

And the "thin-black stripe", I just imagine as a single, maybe 1/2 inch (1cm) wide stripe starting at the collar and going down the center of the left arm sleeve, torso, and leg?

Does that seem right?

I really like that Grizzly!

Agreed, with that camo scheme the Grizzly is a beauty. Any tips or suggestions for making your camo colors so clean and sharp, please? I've struggled painting ghostbear winter schemes.
