I have done a few modifications to Kurry since you last piloted it, and from your last description of the battle I may need to clear a few things up. This core is piloted old school, with no OB your main dodging ability comes from your skill with the boosters and the "hop". The EO are a back-up weapon, use them only if you run out of ammo in the XCW, which shouldn't really happen anyway. Right now your probably asking "Then why the hell don't you just put an OB core on it?" Three reasons, One, for the better drain. Two, I don't OB that often when I do have it. Three, just to be different.
One last thing, since there is no OB a major part of the style this core represents is patience. That's as best as I can describe it, I've never been good at putting my style I use with cores to words, so most of the time I guess just wing it

pretty darn well rounded IMO. Peck from a distance with the SRF. use the MM as well from the distance to get some splinter hits. take to the sky when you need to to launch MM bombardments. The HA30-4 is to catch people off guard at midrange and score some hits. Use OB floating to help get energy and if you need to dump everything and BLADE!
good luck!

options:

this is your basic "if they can't shoot you they don't score [or break weapons] AC"

the hgl 100 will heat most things up in 4 shots, combine with the 500 they are deadly! the small missiles are for spam and incase something breaks you can fall back on their lockbox.

use the CROW to get ap lead and extend it or to flank heavy armor.

rember to fade away and shoot when [and if] ya have AP lead turning on the crow as needed.

if you need more speed against something light just dump the missiles.

Two points will make or break the AC. First, always manage and conserve energy for XCG10, play a close to the ground hopping dodge style to use minimal energy. Second, don't waste XCG10 ammo - it's short range, don't shoot unless you're almost sure to hit.

Hang back and let the backmounts do the work, use whichever is more useful (MM16 vs lights/mids, OCs vs tanks/heavies) first ASAP with R36 and dump, use the second to harass opponents who still hang back. If opponents rush you, blast with XCG or poke with SRFL70.

Don't OB your energy dry. Dump MM16 immediately in tight spaces, or if you need more speed.

Don't panic, you can take some hits, or shrug off a few missiles. Dodge to reduce damage, not avoid it. Think Oliver's style, kip, shrug off the hits that land and make sure your fire hits.

can I make a slight change to my design?

They all look good. I'm at brians and we tried some of them out against some of our cores. Hope we get all 16 of the people to post them by saturday though...

If it is not to late i made a small edit, R/24 in place of the R10

Gimme a minute, gimme a minute. I gotta DESIGN a new SunStrieker or modify Sober first...or just go with something entirely new...hmm..maybe that wake with the finger of god.

Thanks for doing this guys and above all have some fun!

Well energy consumption isn't too terrible here. I actually strayed from the 002 core so that's different for me. The idea is simple enough, don't use the extensions until he lets his guard down. Otherwise feel free to spam with the OC30's. If he decides to come in close blast him with the shot gun and use the XCD/100 otherwise. Ammo shouldn't be an issue. Mobility is a little slower than I like but I'm not the one piloting it. Good luck.

Well, I know I implied I was going to put up a blade-bearing design, but...the prototype I was planning on didn't quite work out; not to mention the fact that you've insulted me(twice) by putting a 'b' in my name , so:

-glances at puppy- he doesn't need to do that. I'm a busy man nowadays, so here goes.

Sober run: "Holy shit! Sober with the gsl-20 and the gnl-15 = super stun! Hell yeah! Shade goes down in the factory. Might be going with him, not sure yet. He is so unholy though. He had Shade in perpetual stun with gnl to grsl, back to gnl. It was beautiful man.

SunStrieker run: "Whoa..he got his ass whooped. Ok SunStrieker is officially dead until Nexus (when I get my linear rifle)"

Wake Heavy with the Finger of God: "Well he gets up to 267 air speed, and too much drain for close quarters. Hmmm...turn boosters help the turning problem..and mare lowers drain somewhat. Nah, I'll go with the unholy Sober."

Useage: Sober's been modified. He lost 440 shell and 404 energy (solid shield, I shall miss thee) to gain a possible super stun attack. Basically you hit the button to fire the grsl and then hit the gnl-15 like a second before. Then you just keep it up and you should be able to get some sort of juggling stun combo if they don't pull off running. Though that mighta just been since shade had low stun to begin with. Anyway, besides the stun combo there's the shotgun for close range lightweights and for just getting some damage if nothing else will hit (few pellets worth of damage can go the distance at times). Chaingun is for whenever the gnl isn't going to cut it. The GNL is for either the combo above or just when you OB Joust. Sober is a jousting tank, but it also can fly. The weight's low enough to let Sober do this little hop from left to right while in the air. Honestly that's what I did while super stunning Shade. If you run outta gnl, you can dump it and gain the ability to fly and chaingun/shotgun with sober. It's pretty cool. Do me proud.

Now if we could just find a demon.. (Well, not a demon, but the demon.. lol, i'm not starting till saturday anyway, though I could make the brackets sooner and let everyone argue and moan about who they have to face

Wow! No one used SSS even though they were allowed! I guess there is some sort of "Gentlemen's ban" going on...

Are we still allowed to modify designs now?

Won't have the results up till later saturday, or sunday morning. Movies tonight with girlfriend, me and jake will probably do the first round, and maybe second in the morning, then he has to go to lunch with his boss, and I'm going shopping with my girlfriend lata.. So were busy, but we'll get it done tommarrow easily, just not sure If I'll be around to post up the results.

Go ahead and talk about the matches if you want to. Looks to be some good ones!

Aww..but Demon is finally online -glancing at the people looking at the topic list- Yep he is. And he got in anyway...alrighty then. Now as for me v Kuroi. I suggest mass 'nadeage. Seriously dude. MASS nadeage. Try to do some OB jousting for the nading (at least with the big one, since it's hard to get a good hit with the left arm grenade rifle unless you're not doing the whole OB thing..at least that's what my experience was. By all means test out Sober beforehand to get used to him)

sorry about the lateness, I got home late, really late, well past 7 your time, I owe you BlackIce...

yeah, if up against a tank, ust the orbits...with no relations, only tank killer on here, then, (or start if not against a tank) go duel missles + relations, and the rifles make great range play...just don't get stuck in small arenas...with no orbits...good luck man.

Yeah. I guess Orbits can't be stopped by Sober's decoys anyway. I just hope the Arena's something like Tropical Forest or Abandoned Factory. It'd be fun for both sides I think. If it's somehow arena they'll be trouble for you and if it's something like underground ruins they'll be trouble for Sober. He won't be able to maneuver all that well there. So here's hoping for the land of rafters or trees...or a bigass spaceship and hills.

D2Gundam:
i wish you good luck in our fight!

we match up pretty good imho.
we both got the same s40/1 missiles in the back.
our arm weapons do about the same damage overall.
you got speed with the fleets and i got stealth with the crow.

this to me could go either way with a mistake being the deciding factor.

may we put on a GOOD SHOW!

I agree Mayhem. May the luckier, more deserving guy win

I lost prolly..

I'm still not sure how Sober'll do. My only real test of the "perpetual stun" was against shade and it was by complete and total accident. Still, getting whacked by a couple grenades at more or less once should be damaging to even a heavy.

you prolly go on to win magus.. just like last time :\

Sweet 16 Results Are Up!

Gah! I lost!!! Not even winning a single round! Congrats to Pup I didn't expect that his hover would reach the top

yerp i got teh mad PWNED : )

Oh well...Ya shoulda gone OBing in close as much as possible in the wasteland 'bout or something. And damn did random screw me over on the final 'bout. Stupid steeple.

Good fight D2Gundam, they were close!

Puppydog:
the forest and my mg500 breaking were my undoing. that and your nd8 FCS range with hiacts and mm16's.

my only missile defense was jammer and stealth, with dodging which is hard to do in the forest.

seen you made the finals by the way- GOOD LUCK!

THANKS to Brian and Jake for hosting this!

'Day

I always lose when against GNL tanks... but I refuse to fight fire with fire!

dang it... so close and yet so far. Oh well maybe next time.

I have to say I got pretty lucky with the arena selections. Rain Forest against a heavy and Steeple against a tank. The levels were my selection of missiles coulf do their best and the other opponents were at a disadvantage.

Congrats Laserlight, that is one nasty hover.

*Screams in delight*

YAY, I FINALLY GOT ONE!!!!

Heh heh, good fights to all opponents I matched against. And especially to Puppy. Heh heh, ye realize, Puppy, that this is divine retribution for nailing Heartbreaker in the final match back in ACO? Poetic justice, I says.

Brian: I do seem to hold the record for Highest Number of Agonizing Losses, don't I? Heh heh, well this one helps all the others go down smooth.

Wow, I got beat down like a little girl with an ice cream cone fighting a hungry fat boy. Well that's my last attempt to trying to an RJ. Stick with what I know I suppose. Thanks Brian and Jake for hosting another FT.

A big thanks to Brian and Jake for hosting this one! If ya got any suggestions for my design please send them my way. I should have posted a bit more of strategy, but it's all good... Thanks again.
