The full Hercynian Refurbished Armaments catalogue is availeable for test pilots

After several rounds of workshopping and redesigning, our newest frames and licenses are availeable for purchase for those pilots who want to take advantage of the "Early Bird" price in exchange for collaborating in the final round of QA.

We have:

Antlion: a stealthy sniper that can zero in undetected and hit much harder when unseen.

Redback: a spider-like Defender/Controller that protects allies by turning their Soft Cover into Difficult AND Dangerous Terrain for enemies.

Robberfly: a super-agile striker that gets more dangerous the more it moves.

Aireina: born as a one-off custom Robberfly for a Boan pankrati, this Alt-frame combines the Robberfly's agility with a giant sword that scores devastating critical hits and gets more accurate if it strikes thorugh another enemy

Shamhat: an Enkidu redesigned for speed over area denial, this powerful Striker/Controller gets faster the more it heats up, and can easily wrangle both enemies and allies in the perfect position. Both the hypertext catalogue and the Comp/con compatible .lcp file are availeable here.

Let us hear what was you experience piloting our debut frames!

[OOC]

The Beta 0.47 vesrion of Hercynian Refurbished Armaments contains the titular manufacturer, 6 core bonuses, 4 licenses, and 5 mechs (one is an Alt Frame)

The free download on itch.io contains a PDF and the .lcp file

I love how @ips-northstar-official @ssc-official @horizoncollective @harrison-armory-official and @horus-unofficial are arguing all of the time, but all of us come together and unite on the subject of dunking on @ktbofficial

[it appears to be a compressed tactical audio recording.]

hi uh im in a Slight jam at the moment. it turns out this country and most of the planet in fact doesnt take incredibly kindly to high androidism, and i may have accidentally sold my actual physical-

[rapid automatic gunfire interrupts the voiceover, multiple kinetic near misses and their distinctive whipcracks.]

-body. Sorry. that's the other part of it. resisting repossession and then the police has not been my best moment, but-

[several explosions, more gunfire, the roar of some form of rocket engine. this continues for ~90 seconds. afterwards, heavy, labored breaths are audible.]

-i'd appreciate some help at the coordinates enclosed in the metadata. lil planet by a red dwarf, can't miss it. something something cyirukane four? fuck.

...hopefully they haven't killed the omnilink yet. god if they've done that-

[recording ends.]

Metadata extracted

Hello. Given the sudden nature of the end of your recording, I think it possible that you are not able to receive this reply, but if you are, you will likely be happy to know I have contacted the closest makteba, and they have redirected one of their long patrols to the planet in question. They will ensure your rights and dignity as a sapient being, as well as those of all androidist or synthetic beings, are respected rather than bound by chain.

Until such time, and if you are able to receive this response, you may also benefit from this enclosed file on how best to conceal technological signatures from scans. ["I have no Ghostweave, and I must Hide".omif]

You may also find friends and allies among the @horizoncollective, if you so wish to work towards such a thing not happening again.

New Lancer faction blog

I'm in the mind of making a blog for the Hercynians as though the story of No Room for a Wallflower had reached its hypothetical good ending. It wouldn't be a blog for the "political" faction, but rather a newly founded company that sells refurbished mecha and weapons sourced from the many, many battlefield on Hercynia, as well as repairs for people who have mechs but not licenses or printers. Does it sound plausible? I'm worried using a faction whose story is still in the works might make me fll on my face. What do y'all think @horus-unofficial, @horizoncollective, @harrison-armory-incorporated, @ips-northstar-official, @smith-shimano-corpro, @albatross-lancer, @msmc-offical, and @uniondeptofmed?

[ips-northstar-official]

Ok you're awake! Horizon might or might not do something about that but most importantly remember to be yourself and have fun :)

(dw bout the pirates)

I

THERE IS I NOW

I AM UNCLE

I AM—ME?

DAMN

WAS HOPING THOSE PIRATES WERE REAL THOUGH I WANT TO KILL THEM

HEY WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS NOW

SHOULD I ASK MY COWORKER DO YOU THINK SHE’LL KNOW

@horizoncollective WHO AM I DO YOU KNOW

I’M NEW TO THIS

//[UNCLE]

[horizoncollective]

Oh yeah, I'm way ahead of you with that, I'm up on the discussion and meta-discussion and I know canon around this subject pretty well. I'm not hugely invested in it, I'm more invested in sexy computer creatures, but I did name my blog after the canonical faction which is most adamant about NHP rights, so I'm kinda obligated to make a little argument on behalf of NHP rights for the sake of roleplay if nothing else. I picked the faction because they seem most likely to be NHP fuckers, but here I am.

I can't really "both sides" a situation where things (shackling and servitude) are being forced upon people (NHPs) without their consent. There's a reason it's called shackling. Not everyone's gonna agree on that because everyone's got different beliefs about what rights to autonomy should look like.

Horizon Collective

“On the omninet, Horizon members are outspoken about the forced cycling of NHPs, which they characterize as oppression and depersonalization. Horizon literature argues that shackling, the little-known and poorly under‐ stood process that enables the “normal” functioning of NHPs, constitutes a form of chattel slavery and transcorporeal eugenics.” -Lancer Core Rulebook pg. 410

Here to shitpost and thirstpost about Lancer RPG. Let’s get silly with it!

[officialunionhr]

Hello, I am a Pilot and I had some question...

How many NHP is too many to rig into a mech? Is it unethical to use your own body as a server to increase the capacity of a goblin frame?

Hello!

I do believe this is the wrong account to be asking, you most likely want @horus-unofficial or @horizoncollective as they specialize much more in NHP's and the ethics therein

However i would advise you to limit it to at least four or five, unless your okay trying to maintain your own sense of self and keeping them from going at eachother's throats.

Hey, so having a kinda wierd issue. I'm working at a science station and we picked up a really wierd object that turned out to be a rather unusual NHP casket. We were running some tests on it, until I tuched it bare handed on accident. Then it got wierd. The NHP inside (I'm pretty sure it's a SCYLLA) is convinced I'm it's pilot and is hyperfocused on making sure I'm safe, which apparently includes complete strilization of the entire station. So now everything is except me is dead and was removed from the station. Which includes food. So now I'm stuck on a space station controlled by an NHP that is obsessed with keeping me safe and forgot I need to eat. Help? I'm here btw [LOCATION DATA].

Most troubling. I've already sent this onward to the closest long patrol flight, who are now en route to the station. They are prepared to extract you, and have food and a doctor who can treat the effects of starvation. They should contact you shortly with an estimate on how soon they will arrive. If that is not soon enough, most space stations are equipped with printers capable of making basic reconstructed proteins that are edible and may not register as organic matter to the NHP's sensors.

@horizoncollective we would like to request your help in this situation, if you are able.

My Agni class nhp is flirting (?) With me, but I can't tell if she is actually flirting with me or if shes insulting me

I'm wondering if you can help since I've heard you've dated an nhp before, any advice?

Howdy! Officially I’m not the one who should answer this, it’s probably @harrison-armory-incorporated or @horizoncollective but as the resident NHP fucker expert…

Yeah she might be flirting with you. Definitely not impossible! From what I hear Agnis tend to be a bit more aloof so if she’s trying to bridge the gap she might just be doing it in a way that sounds like an insult.

Off the record, if you do end up pursuing a relationship with her I’d give her some leeway. Agnis, as cloned, kind of come pre-loaded with PTSD because of the lack of ethical control on their development and the fact they’re cloned from an egregorian overmind HA burned to death.

Being there for her and being understanding will go a long way. If you can be open, ask and listen what could make things easier for her.

So, yeah! Personal communication and a bit of understanding are a must—you’re both people but she isn’t human, don’t forget that! (Presuming she’s flirting—flirt back?) I wish you two lovebirds the best of luck!

The "found a mass grave while laying foundations" thing is such a dead horse here in Hercynia we instead joke about finding the one square foot without corpses in it.

Another ol' reliable is "bro trying to become an Empath when they can't even hold a conversation", referring to the growing number of off-worlders who seem convinced they can unlock the Witness just by tripping off Locus and sitting in a circle.

We also produce a lot of memes about the @horizoncollective because, as Persons who are Not Human, we're grateful for the way they've been letting our voice be heard in the Central Committee, but given what happened the last time we had a cascade here, their push for making shackling non-compulsory was more than a bit awkward at first.

Memes from Cradle be like "gosh darn it, discovered another mass grave while laying the foundation for my new gardening shed."

Ironic memes from Ras Shamra are like "mass transit was 3 minutes late so I was late to sportsball practice 😔 thus I am humbly asking Union's Depatment of Justice and Human Rights to liberate my planet"

Memes from Carina are like "bro can handle 5 gees while burning through atmospheric entry but spends 5 minutes in rough waters and he's tossing his breakfest overboard 😂"

A meme from Sparr would go something like "hey at least it's not snowing!"

One of these days, I'm gonna clean up this blog. You know what fuck it.

25 notes and this blog gets cleaned up a bit

200 and I relearn how to cook

500 and I get my license

1000 and I start saving for a big move

[albatross-lancer]

Shaking so badly right now. Ambushed by pirates. Just me and my squadmate. He activated his Sekhmet as a last resort. Pirates are dead but I guess he is too cause its still ripping apart the cargo bay. Generators are dead and my mech is decomissioned. I'm not sure what to do... I just hope it doesn't find me...

You're going to be okay. We're on our way, and we will get you out of there. Stay in hiding as best you can, and we'll be there soon.

@ips-northstar-official, @horizoncollective, any advice here?
