Battle on Brentaal IV (Skirmish 3) OOC

[Count Sam]

If there's an issue with the armor, bring it up separately. That's no free pass to bullshit or be cheap in a battle.

Well then here I am bringing the issue up.

 

[Sreeya]

I'll have people look at it, but keep in mind that he was Mando second in command. He's one of the very few in the galaxy with access to beskar. That's not 'cheap', that's simply Mandalorian. By your definition, all Force users should be cheap to non Force users 'cause they can't do much to defend against them. You knew fully well you were going into battle against a Mando higher up. It's definitely not going to be a walk in the park. The missiles and other things were approved in the past afaik since the civil war era.

 

[Demiurge]

If I am not mistaken there is quite a huge distance between Apolloe and Corden.

Huh? Corden's not in this battle. Who are you talking about?

So technically the rocket was destroyed midway between them both and normally any huge explosion like that would cause smoke. So obviously my character is not within the smoke, but he is using the smoke cloud that resulted between him and mars to make a move. Also Akela is not standing behind a wall so I am not sure why he would receive AOE damage from the other rocket which would normally explode way behind him.

There were two rockets bro. One was supposedly shot down, the other continued on, with Max hoping you'd get out of harm's way in time. I'm not arguing that an explosion would create smoke; thermal detonations are in some form chemically-induced, and thus would often produce gases (or smoke) after ignition. I was arguing that your post seemed to indicate that you were nearby an explosion with no ill effect.

And they were homing rockets bro. Mars had them programmed to impact you from either side; they weren't straight-shots.

Also I don't think it is fair how you guys are nit picking on small stuff when you guys are using some ultra uber amazing power ranger gears and extreme destructive weapons.

Like? I have a flying pack and camo.

I am not really trying to offend anyone here, but I guess you guys already know that the gears you are using is really close to being invincible.

I know you're not, but that's really inaccurate. And everything Mars' character Apollo has, he'd actually earned through numerous battles and RPs. He's one of the Mandalorian Clan's foremost champions bro.

Well I am fine with taking down a powerful armor, but not an invincible one. This armor is extremely nerfed up to the point that going through it is extremely hard or even impossible.

So when going up against him I expected a powerful and more advanced opponent. However; I didn't expect to go against an invincible one.

 

[Mr. Teatime]

As Xeno pointed out, all that 'power ranger gear' was earned. He's at the TOP of the tree of Mandalorian Supercommandos. They're heavily armed and armored pretty much all the time. In Boba Fett's time as mandalore, every supercommando had a rig like his. All that stuff was approved and his use of it is quite fair.

Nerfed means weakened, Sam.

And no armor is invincible. Just because you don't know how to beat it doesn't mean it's unbeatable.

Edit: just checked the profile, nothing about homing is mentioned.

SHOULDER PLATES: Implanted missile launchers (5 rounds per shoulder -high yield explosive or fragmentation, think Iron Man).

I was talking about Akela not Corden apologize. Also I do understand that mars earned his gears, but still they are close to invincible and I don't see it anywhere in the thread that has homing missiles mentioned. All that I read was high explosive micro missile. However; I might not be paying attention so correct me if I am wrong.

Apologies, I meant homing in the sense that they had a predetermined flight path and point of impact, and that they weren't simply being fired head on like a traditional missile. However, there are multiple ways of taking down someone clad in armor. Just figure it out, bro.

I think we are on the same page, what you mean by homing is that the fact that they track their objectives and I checked the profile nothing is mentioned about it. Also mars post was a little bit vague so I just assumed that the rockets were going straight ahead one at his right side and one at his left.

 

[Raif]

Weren't the rockets from Iron Man homing? Not sure if that's enough to really affect this discussion, but I saw something that said "think Iron Man" when referring to the missile launchers, so just thought I'd point that out

Well that is not an enough explanation. It really vague and inaccurate.

 

[Mars]

Click this. 2:15-2:18 is a pretty solid example of how Apollo's missiles work.

As far as Apollo's armor goes he's been in the Mandalorian leadership for longer than any other character has been in the leadership of any other faction. He's been the first War Leader since Johnny took over as Mandalore way back when. That gear has been earned but that's not the subject of this.

I really don't see a way for you to just go "loldodge" on the missiles and simultaneously avoid getting shredded by the metal storm from his Outcry (thanks Kiro!). There's ways out of it, but tbh a charge at a fortified position was foolish in the first place and now you're paying for it.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

At this point, the armor discussion is over. It’s been indicated that Mars earned this all through battle, and it’s not invincible. The armor has been approved in the past. Keep in mind what Arcturus said before: just because you don’t know how to beat it doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable. Sam, if you still have concerns, keep in mind that your objection shouldn’t be about the armor, but about the fact that your Corporal was placed into a battle against one of the best fighters in the Mandalorians. However, the window to dispute that closed the moment you posted in the thread.

So, the discussion about the armor is done.

 

[Count Sam]

Well then I will be waiting for Maxxor to edit his post. However; realize that the distance between mars and my character is relatively huge, so I don't see how it is impossible to dodge it. You really do need to realize that me and my men are attacking while keeping a good range between your forces. Also the reason why I rushed into attacking was because this is supposed to be a 2 vs 2 battle in which our characters settle it directly by dueling each other.

 

[Maxx]

Something that I want to point out is that I never said how far Max from the missile and how fast he was going. I'll make the edit when I get home from school tomorrow.

 

[Maxx]

Double Post.

Editted my part so now the speeder was going slower, a rocket launcher was used instead of a blaster, and the HUD was used. Does this make you all happy? I'm not gonna argue about shrapnel or anything.

Bro, I'd gathered Sreeya meant for the scene itself to be edited away, not modified.

 

[Maxx]

The scene has been completely changed, not once to I mention the missiles or the Corporal's danger.

 

[Vencu]

Is this still progressing without issues?

 

[Raif]

Is this still progressing without issues?

Isn't that an oxymoron?

I kid, I kid.

 

[Count Sam]

I guess so, Maxxor has edited his post and Xeno posted. We are waiting on mars to post, and I am not if he will be posting soon or not.

I think we really need to get this thread moving forward.
