Post here any tid bits that need to be said. Also any technology that your character uses should be posted here that follows the concept of this thread. See Galaxy Depression in Setting Forge.

Powersuit: A hazerdous atomsphere suit that uses a nanogram of antimatter for power. Has increased strength for the wearer and provides armor against atomspheres that don't support humans otherwise.

Tight beam transmitter: A small power comlink or suit mounted communications system that allows for communication in areas that other wise disrupt radio waves or dont want a Flash Generator.

Stun Baton: A small crowd control device that emmits a electric pulse.

12mm Auto pistol: A small projectile pistol that has a eight round clip of 12mm bullets that can damage most powersuits.

Question: We are able to play as any of the 4 races?

I'm thinking of joining :]

Luke Lavin · « **Reply #3 on:** August 19, 2004, 11:43:11 PM »

yes, all races work at the minig station. But it is mostly human since Hepshestus 4 is a human controlled world. You can be any race but alien technology is not common on the world were on now. What ever alien tech you have you brought here, and if your a miner you don't have anything but yoursuit and mining equipment: Fusion cutters, powerhammers, explosives etc.

Any Rish characters are Outcast caste because Rish of any other class would be interrated too much into their culture to serve humans. Most Rish consider other races beneath them. Almost as bad as outcasts.

Luke Lavin · « **Reply #5 on:** August 20, 2004, 02:10:19 AM »

oh yeah alec that doesnt have to apply to you because i forgot till after you joined and your character is relatively unformed yet.

Alec_Shadowkin · « **Reply #6 on:** August 20, 2004, 07:31:25 AM »

Well, my character is supposed to be Rish, hence the blue hand, but I can certainly change it if I need to, just let me know.

Also, If I do anything that I wouldn't actually be able to pull off, just tell me and I can correct it.

By the way, have you ever heard of/played a game called Red Faction? Just curious.

Shadoweagle · « **Reply #7 on:** August 20, 2004, 08:38:41 AM »

Played and finished that

Dont remember it well though. Good concept in that you could break through the walls

Thinking of the miner revolution, eh?

Alec_Shadowkin · « **Reply #8 on:** August 20, 2004, 08:58:13 AM »

Yeah, exactly. As soon as he had Duke say "Faction 1105, the revolution has begun." it made me think of Red Faction.

Luke Lavin · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2004, 01:23:15 PM »

yeah i played Red Faction way back.

Don't worry about chaging the race of your character. I meant your caste in Rish culture. You couldn't be higher that outcast or a laborer if your working for a human cooperation. But yeah just remember the Rish telekinetic abilities aren't superpowerful, ten or twenty pounds is about the heavyest object a Rish could manipulate to deadly effect.

I see what you mean thoughabout Red Faction, though but I'm not going along the same course so much.

Ripper class tank. A large two legged chicken walker, satnds about three meters tall and two wide. Normally used for fast attack it can be equiped for a number of other jobs as well because it is constructed in modules that can be replaced and refitted with ease. It can carry a wide varierty of weapons.

Luke Lavin · « **Reply #12 on:** August 21, 2004, 11:36:44 PM »

I'll post again once shadow catches up.

Alec_Shadowkin · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2004, 01:01:02 PM »

Are there any Rish weapons smaller than the particle accelerator you spoke about in the Settings Forge?I would imagine it to be somewhat large(two handed in any case) and am wondering if I would have access to anything smaller(one handed preferably). Even a melee type weapon would be fine, I'm just looking for something exclusively Rish, something I would need my telekinetic abilities for. I also would like to know exactly what I can do with those abilities, or if it is just being able to move 15-20 pounds or so with my mind. Laters!

Luke Lavin · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2004, 03:11:24 PM »

PAC technology is used by humans and Rish but the Rish are the only ones who have developed relatively small version of it. The smallest is a alrge pistol with a wopping punch but hte Rish also have a wide assortment of melee weapons that are very small because they are just hilts and handles. That focues and apply the psi energies of into lethal cutting blades that even the weakest can cut most metals.

Luke Lavin · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2004, 10:26:47 PM »

Sacramax your character is either with mine and Shadowealge or still in your cordite hauler. If you with us your checking out corridor C in the barracks ok?

Oh yeah basically this part you have a free reign on what you discover. Your in the barracks section of the complex this is were the miners are kept, there's a smaller recreation area that is nothing more than a small bar and cinema. There is access to the floor above which is the lower level administration and security guards barracks. The floor below is a hagnar for suborbital craft but it heavily guarded. Ladders, elevators, and stairs to the floors below and above the miner's barracks are guarded by four guards at each of the accesses to other floors. They are armed with a variety of pistols, shotguns, and other automatic weapons. The main objective should be to locate the miners and clear any resistance.

Howler: Human Gauss Rifle that fits the roll of an assault rifle, with a twenty shot clip of high velocity spikes that can blow through walls.

Thunderstroke: A large shoulder mounted guass rifle that fires much larger spikes. They build up enough kinetic energy that they have devasting effect on anything with armor.

Stun grenades: Standerd riot control grenades that emit a blinding flash adn a loud bang that stuns hearing.

Destroyer: A large AP missle launcher. A few were bought by SingSing to be used against the heavy drilling veichles the miners use becase their thickly armored hides were like tanks almost.

First, I would like to say that for this, I would like Sychrians not to be able to heal themselves, but only others. I mean, whats the fun if for every wound of mine, I can just heal myself and just be a bit tired ^_^

S-05 assault rifle: Standard issue assault rifle for the guards of the mining station. Can hold 50 bullets in one clip, and has a 60% chance to make it through the average medium armour of a guard and enter their flesh, per bullet.

Se-G2 Beam Pistol: A common pistol found on the black market. Guards on the mining planet occasionally find miners with these, and confiscate them into the lockers in the security stations. Se-G2 stands for Searer, Grade 2. This beam pistol is designed for searing flesh, and it is only grade 2 of a possible 8 grades, meaning it is relatively low-powered. It will take more than one shot to kill someone with it, but it burns through armour more easily than bullets, meaning they are more useful on heavily armoured people and light-vehicles. They require a charge pack, or charge cell to fire, and a fully charged cell will allow approximately 18 shots before it is depleted.

SingSing Model 14 Plasma Cutter
This is more a tool than a weapon, but it specifically designed to cut metal and armor plating. It has very high penetration, and very little armor can withstand the beam. However it has an effective range of about six inches, and depletes power cells in ten minutes of use.

SingSing Excaliber Mk IV Variable Laser Rifle
This is an expensive weapon using fiber optics and a beryl/argon laser emitter to produce a potent weapon that delivers damage via thermal upset, or if against light targets, slicing attacks. Can vary the beam width increasing the damage at the cost of range.

Luke Lavin · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2004, 12:10:20 AM »

Reyoth: A large legless lizered with a large cavity in it's stomach which can be manipulated by A Sychrian. When induced to vomit it vomits a liquid gel of chemicals that adheres to most anything then combusts and explodes after ten seconds.

Hec Neflit: A Sychrian hive creature that can launch swarms of neurotoxin bugs that have dealy effects on flesh contact but relatively useless against medium or sealed armor or suits.

Lasher A1 First mass produced human PAC pistol, very expensive but powerful, and the PAC effect can disrupt electronics. Also with an unlimited ammo supply and decent rate of fire the PAC pistol is almost perfect expect for it's limited production and costliness to maintain.

umm yeah i tried to pm alec today to get himt o psot but it said no such user existed i'm oging to wait another day for him to post but if he doesn't im goign to put there to much resistance for us to pick him and we left him behind.

Alec_Shadowkin · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2004, 03:43:39 PM »

I've been keeping up with it, but since my character needs your help to get out and you already have the barracks rather well covered, there isn't much for me to do.

Luke Lavin · « **Reply #22 on:** August 26, 2004, 06:33:12 PM »

Alec post so we can go forward.
