One of these days I am going to write up my own FT powered armor. Just to show people what PA can be when you know what you are doing.

If it doesn't have pauldiuns it fails.

I beat you though

You have written one up already? How many A4 pages does the text have?

You really don't need to write up a massive laundry list of details about your armor system or anything, maybe just a couple of paragraphs at the very least.

Max Popenker weights into the assualt rifle/battle rifle debate:

There is but one explanation.
I am Max Popenker.

It's so obvious now!

This is, like, everything I've been saying about assault rifles for months.

Or, Danton is. Danton was the one who finally got me to stop using "battle rifle".
Max's English has apparently improved somewhat.

You are kidding right? You need to spend at least a page on the sensors alone. Remember, we are talking about FT powered armor. This means you have to have an integrated communications and IFF system as well as optical systems (both real and false color), lights and compensators for the lack of proper hearing due to having a helmet on. Seriously, there is a ton of things to talk about.

Do you even FT?

Not on this site. But if I ever do work on a powered armor design it's not going to be for RP purposes. It's going to be as a proper design for design purposes.

Why even mention it here, this is an IC forum for your nation.

Because I do intend to eventually branch Purpelia out into FT. Just not this moment. I am building up toward it.

And besides, I do not RP with other people on NS at all. I only build Purpelia and design stuff for it. It's sort of a style of RPing where you only ever RP with your self.

I see...

Well that clears things up, mostly because in FT we don't concern ourselves much with making massive pages to describe things, we focus more on the flow of the story and using it to bring the lore to life.

I mean I myself am just going to do a couple paragraphs at most describing the specific exoskeleton used in armor.

Heck all my soldiers so far have it, and you'll be able to see it when i start making "Militia"

[Purpelia]

Well it's not really that important in MT either. At least I think it is not. I mean, if I was to RP with someone and he started to explain how the chemical composition of the explosives in his MT mortar round made for a 5% better effect against my troops I would be all "WTF man?!"

In fact, my MT rifle, well PMT rifle actually has very little in terms of text attached to it.
It's all here by the way.

Maybe some people do statwank and stuff. But I just want the thing to be cool. And being cool in a FT context means having loads of features that seem logical in hindsight but no one has yet thought off. And I have loads of those...

I mean I myself am just going to do a couple paragraphs at most describing the specific exoskeleton used in armor.

Honestly I think I am mostly going to skip that part. When it comes to the way the thing moves we know that there is really no reason to explain much. It moves because of something something attached to a battery that lasts for something something. And armor protection is best defined in vague terms that carry setting generic data.

But my exoskeletons are synthetic muscles!

[Purpelia]

But my exoskeletons are synthetic muscles!

Exactly. Something-something-something FT magic=technology. What matters is how protected it is and how many gimmicks it has.

This said, how are you defining your protective levels? I was thinking of using a generic term system. Basically I'd use real world equivalents like "full powered rifle" and "handgun" to refer to setting specific equivalents.

Same thing today, just upscaled because behind all the story and plot, my automatic rifles have the KE of a 50 BMG.

Won't really matter in RP, but story wise and lore wise, sure why not.

I miss FT. I used to RP a FT nation back on another forum. With 15km long starships and all that.

Well I had a whole range of ships. I can write more about them on the FT thread if you can dig it up or via telegram if you are interested.

Maybe later, I am working on more uniforms and stuff, I have an RP to do, a story to write and an app to make for a RP c:

Why use a bolt-action rifle as service rifle, especially in MT?

[Purpelia]

Why use a bolt-action rifle as service rifle, especially in MT?

I don't. It's a PT service rifle from the 1890's (as its name sneakily suggests). But I am going to make a MT sniper rifle conversion any day now.

No I did nott. The phrase "something something, well something something else" is short for "something something, well actually something something else".
