Nightwing, go look at this. Flip to Dodge, for right now, until someone becomes a muffin.

FYI I have researched about it and I know pretty much all there is to learn about it from the internet, which is basic concept and concept applications. And unless that mech is VERY (50 meters very if his canons are 10 meters long, which is what he probably wants) wide he won't be able to have BOTH Gauss canons to turn 360 degrees.

And try to understand how Railguns, which are the same as Gauss canons except the actual method of propulsion. Gauss are pulling and Railguns are using rails (exactly the same way as the MagLev train).

Now I might be missing something here, but if each "canon" is 10 meters long, wouldn't that mean the Mecha would need to be 20-30 meters in width? Not 50.

I almost choked on my popcorn when I read this.
Gauss guns use magnetic coils around the barrel to pull a bullet forward at crazy high speeds. That you got right.
Rail guns have 2 rails and a bullet. The rails are on either side of the bullet, touching it. The rails are electrified, passing through rail 1, the bullet, and rail 2. This creates a magnetic field, and shoots the bullet forwards. More powerful than gauss guns (usually) but also a lot harder to keep the thing from literally melting.
Mag Lev trains are not related to railguns aside from the fact they both use magnetism. Maglev works by generating two identical magnetic fields, one on the tracks, and one on the bottom of the train. The repel each other, the train floats off the ground, and then a small change in the field causes the train to move forwards, very fast. There is absolutely no contact involved; in fact, that is the whole point of Magnetic Levitation Trains.

I thought the railguns rails are not touching the ammunition, but that's not the point, he has HUGE canons on the back of his mech and he wants them BOTH to swivel 360 degrees! If YOU see that's happening please show.

And putting them both on a single rotating platform is only a solution for very long ranges, at close range it will be like a crosseyed drunk.

Shitty MSPaint drawing, GOGOGO

Yeah, the 360 degree turn is probably a bit much. I'll change it to 180.

Notice that they can bash into each other rather painfully (The 360 design).

Rolling like a boss. Will review PhD's mecha thoroughly afterward.

Vladimír Shurla [10]: "Heh. Sucks to be Argus. So, any idea why it's not starting?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because you're an idiot. You forgot to hit the Main Power switch before trying to spin up your reactor."
"What? But my radio worked!"
"Battery power. What good would a radio be if you couldn't use it to SOS when your mech got crippled?"
Damn. He's got a point there.

Amazigh
"Amazigh" [6]: "Better Safe Than Sorry. Better Safe Than Sorry."
You check your radar. Oh, the other guy went to the western objective. Ok, let's head the- What the hell is Aark doing in the danger zone? Dammit. You're too far away to do anything right now, and he wouldn't have just randomly wandered in without a purpose. Plus its his own fault for falling behind. You switch back to the main screen, and walk down towards Kaime's position, where you see him pacing around a large shopping center. One of you needs to go down in there and look for anything salvageable while the other stands guard for mecha-sized threats. Or preferably, two go in and one stays out, but Aark is off being a derp.

JJA79
James Argus [2]: Everyone just stands in shocked silence while Erroni stomps away.
"So, can someone get me a lift anyway?"
Erroni runs up to the nearest mechanic, grabs something off his toolbelt before he can stop her, and then slings it at you as hard as she can. Luckily for you, the socket wrench's handle hits you in the forehead. Had it been the heavier head, or hit in the eye, you might have been killed! But instead you're merely knocked unconscious.

Game Events: Fantastic, you guys made it ali- what is Aark doing?
Iunno, he just went off on his own. Dunno why, but he wasn't responding so we just left him behind.
...I'll pretend I didn't hear that if you promise to never do that again ever.
Deal.
AREA MAP UPLOADED.

Mission 1 has started. In 1 turn, the ship will be able to drop off players on the mainland again. Anyone not in their mechs and ready to go by that time will forfeit playing until Mission 1 is over.

Man if I was the captain of that ship, Id tie Erroni to the bottom of a boat and go over a coral reef.

Yeah, Erroni's a damn good engineer.
Did I mention she drafted up blueprints for turning the Exoneration's aircraft catapult into a railgun? On her own, without any access to the ship?

So much hate.

>Sleep unconscious walk around the ship randomly slapping people.

EH sleep crawl walk same difference. I am more expecting this to occur in the dream not awake.

JJ, you seem to enjoy ignoring the fact that both your legs are broken. And splinted. That somewhat limits your range of movement.
