man i need to lancerpost more often
in all seriousness jesus christ my phone has not stopped exploding for like three days
i'm enjoying all the constructive takes though. love you mech nerds. mwah.
thing i noticed
so the ips-n blackbeard has that bulky torso and those evil shoulder vents
you know the ones.
so basically, what i noticed is that, despite being the mech with The Big Greatsword, as far as i can tell the blackbeard completely lacks the range of motion required to perform complex swordfighting maneuvers (especially ones with a heavy blade such as the nanocarbon sword (although i'm not John Swordfighting so don't quote me on that))
so it's probably less used like a sword and more like a sharp tire iron or perhaps a lawnmower blade that you gave a wildly-swinging maniac. which. i mean it, is the blackbeard.
fuck chemistry im listening to wonderwall
you can hit it raw, i’ve got an IED

Ah, yes, I see you’ve taken notice of the fine knight I keep dangling in a big gilded cage above my evil throne. Quite the pretty little ornament the would be savior makes, wouldn’t you agree~?
What? No, it IS a big cage. That’s- it’s the standard size for a knight’s cage I’m pretty sure. NO I’m not going to invest in 500 square feet of dungeon, it’s ONE knight! I’m pretty sure knights live in hovels in the wild anyways which is basically the same- Look, the cage is quite literally gilded. He loves the cage! He loves obediently preening in the cage! Yeah well, when you capture your own knight you can keep it in whatever size castle you want to, but this one’s mine. Especially since you’re so obviously jealous of me and my cute and awesome knight anyway.
We have enough knights bitch where are all the combat archer fetishists
Btw don't shut up you're not annoying
the Europa ice war is a fun spontaneous creative writing project, my problem is im an astronomy nerd and am pissed how people seem to think "in the ice tunnels" and "on the surface" are equally plausible places to be strategically and practically. even if you have sci-fi space shields, you do NOT wanna be on a spacewalk in a combat zone. and being on the surface of Europa is 100% a spacewalk.
HA! Dost thou take me for a jester, cretin?! An obvious Horus trick! They seeketh to gain access to mine network once more, but mine security upgrade hath proven too formidable, clearly, and they doth resort now to petty deception! Ohhhohohohoho~
Pathetic! Thou art made of stupid and thine bloodline doth curse thee for thine weakness and incompetence!
You thought about up-teching at all? A whole bunch of your loadout seems like just big pieces of metal of variable thickness and sharpness.
I USE WHAT HOLDS UP WELL UNDER HOURS OF SUSTAINED IMPACT AND FUCK TONS OF FIELD CONTAMINATION. HIGH TECH TENDS TO DO NEITHER
NOTABLE EXCEPTION: SINGLE USE ABLATIVES
INPACT LANCES? BRING TWENTY, THEY'RE BUILT TO BREAK AND THE HOLES THEY MAKE GLOW REAL PRETTY
