Nation of Machines (Planning)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I've added the mech shop with new prices to the first page so I can add new thing easily without constantly posting a new document. I will post a final document when its all finished though.

Remember, just because its not on the list does not mean you can;t have it. I can't think of everything so if you have a specific part you want tell me.

Something like 100k maybe.

[Zaleramancer]

Bah, you said 210k before.

Indeed, it is up for adjustment should anyone like to suggest a better number.

If I raised the starting amount I'd have to raise the price of the mental Control Cockpit. They're the same now for a reason. The Mental Control Cockpit is very very rare and buying it means you cannot buy anything else for awhile. Besides, y'all shouldn't be able to buy everything you want right at the start...that's the point of the RP. You gotta get out there to get better parts.

For 100k, I was able to get this build:

Impact Fist Mod – 20k
                        A rocket implanted in the elbow, that when activated forces the fist forward with more power
Knuckler Mod – 5k
                        Adds reinforced, brass knuckle attachments to the fists to increase durability and damage.
Shield Lock Mod – 10k
                        Allows arms to magnetically bind together and lock to turn both arms into a makeshift shield. Locked parts take significantly less damage.
Hercules Tendon Mod – 7k per
                        Boosts power in arms.
Achilles Booster Mod – 20k
                        Adds small jets to the heels for quick burst use.
Long Shadow Mod – 20k
                        This cockpit is designed to track movement for control. It consists of a base, upon which the pilot stands and a control suit of some kind. The basic control suit is a series of nodes that attach to important joins on the pilots body, a helmet for visual displays and vocal commands, and two beacons placed in the hands to control weapon systems. It is easy for the pilot to become desynchronized from the mech’s movements in this cockpit.
Life Support – 5k
Navigational A.I. – 5k
                Expert at plotting courses and tracking landscapes as well as using scanners.

Can mods be stacked? If I buy Impact Fist Mod twice does it add twice?

Do we get a default A.I.?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Items that stack have the word "per" next to the price. As in 10k per each individual item.

What do you mean by default AI?

[Philote]

Alright, so we can not stack all items.

I bought the navigational A.I. Does this just add navigational abilities to my starting A.I or do I not have a starting A.I and this just gave me one?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Buying the AI gives you the AI. If you don't buy one, you don't have one.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Based on that I guess the prices can remain as they are for now.

[Philote]

I think that is pretty reasonable.

I'm a melee character, so the current shop works for me, but there are no ranged weapons available for the others.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Not yet at least. Like I've said, I can't possible think of every part in one go. You guys have to help me or ask for things you want.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

So, wait, do I have to bu all the gun I described Burt having?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yes, well sort of. The smallest ones are just swept neatly into being part of general utility weapons. But the bigger ones, yes. You'll have to purchase them.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The thing is. Not everything fits neatly into my little categories so there's a fair amount of negotiating and feeling around to do to get everything squared away for a mech.

Its my fault mostly, I lack extensive foresight.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

So, the mortar and the cannon?
