anyway I think lancer pilots should dress up their mechs

[funstufffandomsandcoolpictures]

Callum "Savannah" Ngo-Boyd and his pal, Fred "Buddy" Patine, a couple of Ungrateful Lancers

Together, they are a License 12 character I made for fun on COMP/CON

Fred never takes off his Caliban armor, this is definitely because of trauma and not because he is the Enlightenment-Class NHP granted by Technophile. That would be silly.

"My take is that you can stop focusing on your issues if you empty enough ships."

My character BULLHEAD, and her IPS-N Caliban, the BAD TAKE.

Lancer mechs from memory #7: IPSN Caliban

Can you build the one punchiban?

It's 5:40 AM but here you go.

-- IPS-N CALIBAN @ LL6 -- [ LICENSES ] IPS-N ZHENG 3, IPS-N CALIBAN 2, SSC Black Witch 1 [ CORE BONUSES ] Superheavy Mounting, Overpower Caliber [ TALENTS ] Executioner 3, Nuclear Cavalier 3, PANKRATI 2, Vanguard 1 [ STATS ] HULL:4 AGI:2 SYS:0 ENGI:2 STRUCTURE:4 HP:19 ARMOR:2 STRESS:4 HEATCAP:7 REPAIR:7 TECH ATK:-2 LIMITED:+1 SPD:4 EVA:10 EDEF:8 SENSE:3 SAVE:14 [ WEAPONS ] Integrated: HHS-075 “Flayer” Shotgun SUPERHEAVY MOUNT: D/D 288 (SUPERMASSIVE MOD) // Overpower Caliber HEAVY MOUNT: SUPERHEAVY WEAPON BRACING [ SYSTEMS ] Personalizations, Armament Redundancy, Ferrous Lash, SPIKE CHARGES x3, TOTAL STRENGTH SUITE I

I call this one That Doesn't Seem Physically Possible.

So fun fact: Ferrous Lash doesn't require that your target be in sensors. It has a flat range. That flat range happens to be 8, and you can punch someone 9 spaces away with a charged D/D 288 because we put Supermassive on it.

What this means is that you can prime your D/D 288 and use your other action to Ferrous Lash an enemy straight into your mech, where they will fall prone. The next turn, you can punch them so hard they see the face of god, knock them 9 spaces in the direction you punched them, all of which you travel with them due to the Caliban's Pursue Prey trait.

Your charged D/D 288 does a minimum of 13 damage (14 if you're in the Danger Zone) with a potential maximum of 38 damage (44 if you're in the Danger Zone), but I think that might actually be the least interesting thing about this build.

Thank you, Big Sall

Why the association with the same guys who made the portable warcrime machine (caliban)

I have terrible news for you about every single mechanized chassis ever built: they are all portable war crime machines, or at least can be in the wrong hands. The Caliban is unusual only in that it makes no pretensions as to being anything other than a killing machine, and that it has no civilian applications to help it pretend otherwise. In that sense it is much like a sword, or gun, or any other mundane weapon.

To actually address your question, however, we accept aid from IPS-N, knowing that they benefit as well, because with the ships and chassis they provide, we are able to directly oppose those who would commit the war crimes you mention, and in so doing save many more lives than we would without.

Pardon my poor response times; The amount of information on my Omnihook these days is staggering.

It took an embarrassingly long while for Petrel Oliveira to explain the different features and interfaces of my new personal device, and a lot of it I still find really unnecessary and convoluted. I mean, I'm used to the idea that the Omninet is a luxury afforded to Union's best-equipped interstellar travellers, but, honestly, I'm very very grateful to have a resource like this- It's made adapting to the new world a little easier.

450 years have passed since I was last conscious. 600 Union-standard years ago, my people fled the tension and bloodshed of the changing world, taking refuge on the Cosmopolitan fleet "New Alexandria."

Seven months ago, I awoke to find the world has become nearly unrecognizable, and yet remained so- cruel.

Nearly five centuries have passed since my fleet was destroyed, and I— fortunate enough to reach my personal aircraft, the "Determined Argument", in time— was the sole survivor. Since then, I have relearned to walk, read, navigate, and, eventually, pilot. Do you know what the effects of half a millennia in cryosleep have on your body? How am I supposed to explain my hatred, my discomfort, my dread—

Everything still hurts these days. A lot. Fortunately, I have an outlet for this;

I named this little bugger, "Intentionally Left Blank". The Loyal Wings, however, have nicknamed her "Intent". She and I are open for hire, either as interstellar freight, or personal protection, as I ease back into this tumultuous world.

Reach out any time with questions, requests, or news. My inbox is open, and my free time plentiful.

Fair winds and following seas, Omninet.

people like associating the Caliban with Doom Music that's fine and all, but I'd like to propose an alternative:

In an all too predictable turn of events, it seems that piloting a glorified musical instrument means that sudden temperature changes (and extreme temperatures in general) wreak havoc on vital systems.

The Caliban may come pre-loaded with The Only Thing They Fear Is You, but the Tokugawa comes standard with either Danger Zone or your choice of Mecha Anime theme song
