Hmm, should I insert TBG right now?

Where do you want her and what contract do you want her to be fulfilling?

With little other means, I am going to assume that TBG has a shuttle to use for interstellar travel. The shuttles aren't really equipped for much but it should be able to beam her down to the surface of a planet and beam her back up when she is in the general vicinity of the shuttle (its orbit overhead). I take the shuttle from the MMOTPS C21 that Cosmic Break was based on, as otherwise all interstellar movement in Cosmic Break is only shown as warping, no space ships.

Unless you have a better idea on how TBG gets to the others :).

[up] I think that will work for now, or the Nivean Empire asked for assistance(?).

Alright, so she is defending the city with Simon and the others on that side.

On a side note, this a video of the original TBG fighting in game. The proportions aren't quite the same but the artwork I pointed out is also shown on some loading screens in game so I'm going with that for appearance.

Huh, that video doesn't even show her cruise missiles though it shows her other weapons quite well.

TBG Deployed, she is there assisting in the fights against the advancing mecha.

Ragna, do you think you could help me put together a plot involving Lucio and Anibal Hahn?

Right, um... Not going to be around for a bit after this, but... Just wanted to ask if there's any way to sort out the time paradox of both Gunbuster and Diebuster characters running around at the same time without resorting to giving Noriko Gunbuster itself (because really, this early on it'd just no-sell and one-hit everything). Um... If it doesn't work I'll think of someone else, it's just, uh... Yeah, Noriko's kind of my favourite mecha character, and, um... Ack, sorry. >.<

#38: Jan 1st 2012 at 11:27:12 PM

Hurm... I dunno, uh... For some reason that seems a little cop-outey to me. Sorry. >.< Hmmm.

...Actually, I thought of something, although it does mean that I'd have to play post-finale Noriko (not that I mind, it just means she won't have much room for character development anymore >.<). Something like this is the Nonoriri Nono is obsessed with, but that she returned to Earth somewhat earlier than she did in the show and thus the two of them can be around at the same time. And she doesn't have Gunbuster because, um... It's in a museum now or something? And she later has to haul it out of there when it really hits the fan? Hurm...

...Either that or I could just switch her out for someone else. I mean, neither Mazinger or the Getter team are in this right now, and they're suppossed to be mainstays of the series, ahah~ Um, hmmm.

I'll think about this whilst I'm out today. >.<

Eh, it'll need UC Gundam too. (As much as I like SEED, it probably isn't the same.) tongue

NOTE: Freedom's Full Burst Mode hits multiple targets. I should've made it clearer, but Kira's not focusing his firepower on one target yet.

Hey, you're the GM.tongue I'll have them blocked. Makes for more drama.

(For what it's worth - Full Burst Mode is a MAP attack in most SRW games.)

And BTW, Generic: Captain Ramius is a "she". Sorry if I wasn't clear, though.tongue

Hurm, okay, get all of my best thinking done in the shower. So let's see...

...Yes, I think I will edit Noriko's sign-up so she's post-finale. For one thing, that makes it easier for me to juggle characters; only she and Kazumi are still around. Also it means I don't have to figure out how Jung's from the Soviet Union, ahah~ And when I think about it, it doesn't kill every chance I have for character development. Everyone the two know and love are long dead, and Earth has changed a lot since they were last there. There's plenty of room for development in those two points alone, let alone everything else.

I'm going to assume that the reason they're not using Gunbuster is because of how badly beaten up it was after the final battle, so it's probably being repaired/renovated. Hmmm... Would it be okay, if I went this route, to claim that Gunbuster is the Super Prototype of just about every super robot, or is that going a little too far? I mean, we can probably figure out some way to explain why, after 20,000 years, there's not been that much advance in the fields of mecha... Then again it could always be lost technology. If I remember right that's how it was in Diebuster... I think. >.<

Hmmm. Yeah, that's probably my best idea on how to sort this out. If I can't get it to work, I'll most likely go with either Mazinger (probably Shin Mazinger) or Getter (with the original Ryoma, Hayato and Musashi team, of course!) instead, but... We'll see.

Can I get a confirmation on the lance count? Muddy's destroyed a few, so there shouldn't be as many left. You currently have it as follows:

South: 1/5
North: 5/5
East: 5/5
North: 5/5

Physics is my bitch.

So yeah, just like in any good game, the first half was easy. Now, the stakes are upped. And yes, I know you guys might want this to be an opening storyline as it were, but I still have to make them fight.

TBG's actions aren't changing for the moment until significant action does happen. She stands back a safe distance and hurls Cruise Missiles on one or two targets at a time supporting the troops on the front lines.

She is normally well enough a threat in her universe that the enemy team's strongest, Aqualia Girl or overpowered Land units, seek her out specifically to destroy her. I'm not sure how well her weapons will work here as she is fighting such large bots. But then her universe seems to specialize in Miniaturization of technology such as her missiles and bazooka weapons that synthesize their ammo to save space.
