Replace banblades with Armoury master. See what happens.

Spoiler: Theory about all-seeing goggles (click to show/hide)

((I just thought of a theory about how the all-knowing-goggles work. They connect to some kind of universal consciousness or knowledge repository through the tendril you saw. Then they analyze the objects characteristics (shape, visible components, possibly even materials, layers and other stuff) and then they request that knowledge from the repository while also trying to convert it in a format the user is more likely to accept. That is how you got equations describing the human body when you looked at it, you either got what the aliens have on humans or organics in general, or you got the knowledge from some human biologist or human biologists. However when you looked at the cube the repository had knowledge on the subject but not in the format you would accept. So the goggles did the best next thing and gave you alien equations and a fractal (probably how the aliens or whoever built understand what's inside or the goggles' attempt to depict a multidimensional object in three dimensions). But when the user sees through them they begin to transform his brain and connect it to the consciousness or repository and as a tradeoff for having his brain become part of an alien computing grid he gains permanent goggle-eyes.
However how one would go about testing this theory I don't know. Maybe try to look at a human and try to read his past or his future, as that would also be part of the knowledge stored in the universal consciousness. Or maybe looking at a picture and trying to get info about what the image represents (looking at an exosuit's photo and then trying to see equations about the exosuit for example). Or looking at an equation that has been solved by humans (the most simple 1+1=x x=? If you're really lucky you'll even get the proof) and seeing if you can find the solution through goggle vision.
If this thing does solve equations and knows everything that has ever been known by someone it would be a lifesaver for exams...
Anyway, just a thought.))

Use the plan to write the autoresponder. When completed, set it up as follows:

 - By default, any message regarding games is answered with a message containing the game and a few instructions, including what to do to send feedback. The original message is saved in a folder "Answered with game".

 - If the responder detects that the message is about feedback for the game, respond with a thank-you message. For the possible case of a false positive, add a short message "If you wanted to receive the game rather than leave feedback, make sure that..." describing what to avoid for the message to be sorted as feedback. The original message is saved in a folder "Game feedback".

 - If neither of the two above rules apply to a message, do not respond, and save the message in a folder "Other messages".

All right. Break is over!
Go to the Armory Master, request paints and canvases. Return to the Rec room and paint a portrait of Milno, in his iconic armor, with the face hidden behind the enigmatic badger helmet. Try to convey his aura of snarkiness and competence.

[handiwork:6-1]

Oh god this picture is fucking perfect. You don't even know. It's actually better then the real Milno. More detailed too. Yeah. Yeah. Figure that one out, smarty pants.

hmm... guess that is a bit much fuel... well make the 3 canisters small enough to fit on your back in a backpack frame and well see how long that lasts us.

also fuck... my stake thrower was only meant to end up costing 5 tokens max... can i fire a round that big at any useful velocity with a standard generator? wait those generators build up to charge don't they so would the 3x generator simply negate a rate of fire penalty?
ditch the custom loader in favor of an enlarged stock loader, use a standard power supply if it only applies a R.O.F. penalty or a 2x if it also affects muzzle velocity.
well that should be enough to get the price back down but damn that got out of hand fast...

Still gonna have to have a new loading system for the larger rounds, thicker coils, larger barrel. etc. And with 1 power generator you're gonna need capacitors to store that charge if you want it to be using 3 times the power as normal from the same generator.

((Im going to wait until I have something to bargain with then))

-Find doc if I cant find him message him and wait
-Ask doc about the crystal projector "virus" he was curing and find out about the behavior of cells that are converted and whether sentience is  maintained in a wholly or mostly converted subject & whether it can be interacted with

-After Talking to Doc go to VR
-In VR Examine the reaction of the crystals to microwaves and what happens when hit by different intensity lasers (whether they cut thorugh    or refract / reflect)

You send the doctor a message and wait for a response. A moment later your wristpad beeps.

I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about.

'Well, I should have known..'

Examine rifle to see if there's some sort of switch or something to change the laser optics' settings.

Also repeat range-test with a gauss rifle.

Out of curiosity you do know we have range ratings on the armory page right?


0-3 meters: Melee range
4-20 meters: Short close range
21-40 meters: Mid close range
41-70 meters: far close range
71-120 meters :close mid range
121-160 meters: mid range
161-199 meters: far mid range
200-700 meters: short long range
701-1200 meters: long range
1201-1600 meters: far long range
1601-onwards: extreme long range

"Hrmmm. I saw a sign for a research lab. I wonder?"

Head to the armory, taking off the goggles before entering, and ask for a datapad, and two memory cards.

((Thank you corsair for giving me this idea.))

You get yourself two data chips and a datapad

Replace banblades with Armoury master. See what happens.

The armory master responds to her current situation by spawning a dome shield of extremely dense matter and sitting inside it.  She then berates you while complaining that she wasn't even alive for this battle.

[aux:oh god I'm tired]

Your thing works. I'll try and figure out what it says tomorrow morning.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Anyone feel like explaining to me how prototyping works? i really need a way of cutting down the costs on this thing ready for my first mission

modify rifle to use stock power and a capacitor bank.
test fire against the chest plate of a battle suit at optimal range using the 150mmx25mm AP rounds

Alter my magnesium jacket rounds to contain the gau-8 rounds chemical storage and alter it to funnel the chemicals into a heat resistant tube upon impact turning the bullet into a thermic lance. (And igniting the jacket thus welding it in place)

Start another new project, bring up a the smallest most cost effective sonic frequency generator the HMRC had access to, connect it to a micro-computer and a microphone.
Have the computer use the frequency generator to send out sonic pulses of a preset frequency then record the time it takes for the rebounding soundwaves to reach the microphone and use the data to map the area. Allow for timestamping and frequency encoding.
Output this data as a 3D image overlay to a pair of nifty sunglasses or a suits heads up display via an output cable.

((If your thing has the potential to be useful to the HMRC in general, Steve may pay for your prototype so that he can get free test data and, if things pan out, a nifty new toy.

Of course, due to that rather critical "useful to the HMRC" part, getting things prototyped tends to be very, very hard. "A new type of gun" isn't going to cut it, nor will "it's awesome," and if you're having difficulty affording it in the first place, the odds of it being too expensive to be feasible are probably pretty high. It's gotta be something a fair number of people might be interested in for the price it takes to get it.

tl;dr you don't, except in those rare circumstances when you've come up with something genuinely interesting and potentially cost-effective. So far that's been 2-3 things, one of which was a rifle that I believe got lost during the soundworm mission and the other was Simus' grenade launcher plus three different grenades.))

[PyroDesu]

((Prototypes so far:

Bolo Launcher
Rocket-Gauss Hybrid Rifle
Some kind of Mini Exoskeleton (Nik, lost on Mission: Sunset over China-9)
Grenade Launcher + 3 experimental Shells))

[Corsair]

((good))

Read message then respond if nessesary proceed to talk to doc if appropriate otherwise make appointment and proceed with mission.

((Actually no, I didn't know, so thanks for that . Does 'Armory Page' refer to the OP in the mission thread? Didn't see anything of the sort there. Can I still examine the laser rifle?))

Stare into the math layer of the cube with the goggles, and try to copy the "Math" onto the datapad. Save it to one datachip.

[Grunhill]

Before we start, do I have to try to get close to you and attack with my sword or will I get a ranged weapon to counter with?

Prepare to avoid the bullets, with the help of the bullet time mode, ask the question.

[Tavik Toth]

Load tinker. Try and design something between a battlesuit and avatar of war. That is cheaper than atleast the avatar. Keep on trying until successful.
