Star Wars: Mechwarrior Idea

So I wanted to see if anybody wanted to do a 'Mechwarrior' thread with me. Non-Canon. Just use screwing around and blasting things while driving 50-ton war machines.

I was thinking we could build our custom mechs using Star Wars tech right here too. No Factory needed this time. Just us screwing around and building a few fun Non-Canon crossovers or whatever.

Reply here if you want to participate. Thanks.

HIGHLANDER BURIAL TIME

 

[Alli Wren]

Interesting!

 

[Daxton Bane]

As long as I can bring my purple and green Death's Knell, time to run and gun!

 

[Garza]

Alright im putting a giant flame thrower in mine!!

 

[Verz Horak]

Singularity bombs ftw!

 

[Lance of Dreams]

Can mine have a giant lightsaber?!?!?!

 

[Jsc]

Can mine have a giant lightsaber?!?!?!

Erm. Edged Laser weapon? Sure. Force Empowered-Cut-Anything-Blade-of-Insta-Death? Not really.

 

[Daxton Bane]

Can you imagine how much heat that would generate?

 

[Lance of Dreams]

Can you imagine how much heat that would generate?

And that's why you shouldn't be worried

 

[Daxton Bane]

Oh I wasn't worried just amused. That would mean all the heat seeking missiles would head his way all the time.

 

[Jsc]

I'm sure a triggered activation of an extendable, then-swung, blade would be reasonable. Generating as much heat over a 2 second swing as any normal heat-based super laser or PPC.

But. Cleaving another 50 ton Mech clean in two? ...Not so much.

 

[Daxton Bane]

Yes but wouldn't his engines be running hot just for keeping the blade lit. Unlike a laser or ppc which is burst or single shot then cooled off, the sword would always be in an on state.

Okay so. Everybody who wants to play start thinking about building your Mech. I think I'll use the MWO Curse Wiki to build mine. I'm not worried about cross-over stuff. We can play it pretty straight.

For the first thread I want everybody to play as a unit. Raiders hitting another terrestrial installation. Based upon what Mechs you guys show up with, I'll counter with a comparable enemy composition. Then we smash heads and see how it all goes. If it runs smooth then we can maybe try another, more dynamic, thread type. Or you guys can just take your mech and kick butt where-ever. Haha.

I hope to start moving on this next Tuesday. Thanks.

Question: Reason for us being at the installation? We the defense force, a conglomerate of mercenaries on duty rotation? What?

 

[Daxton Bane]

Are we the defenders? I thought we are the raiders.

Also does this mean we can custom tweak our load outs?

 

[Carbon]

No wait I misread that.

We're teh raiders, got it.

 

[Jsc]

Yeah. I want us Raiding. Offense.

And yeah. You can tweak your loadouts and customizations. I'm using prefab builds from MWO to learn specializations and team compositions. So our enemies will be a co-hesive defensive unit.

We as the Raiders must excel therefore in our customizations and personal prowess. Doing what we do best and leaning to our own playstyle.

 

[Daxton Bane]

Like I said Run and Gun mode. Preferably in role of scout/recon or scout/sniper.

 

[Carbon]

I've RP'd Mechwarrior before. I'll have a character up for this shortly, and I already know the mech he's using :3
