I doubt it's so easy to hit a moving mech in the knee during a charge, or that they are so vulnerable to conventional weapons.

Value their versatility as heavy support in places where conventional armour could not traverse in, and the strategic mobility of mech units.

Except when they're big, they're not particularly versatile. As for the ease of a leg strike, you can always use guided missiles.

Looks wonky to me, and I considered them an annoying attempt to save on animation budget - no need to animate legs moving. I don't like them and prefer plodding footsteps.

They probably were, but they're strategically logical, since you can use them on flat terrain much better then.

This is moving into techwank territory, or the ever-deadly mech feasibility discussion where people start bringing up ground pressure and tensile strength and such to show off their scientific knowledge. I suggest we stop ASAP.

Yeah, I was beginning to think that. Move it to the discord, I suppose.

I must agree.

It's a simple sharing session until the desire to one-up comes into play.

The desire to one-up probably came in with the first "That can't work because ____", which is my fault.

Parcia, i'd like to note that Phyrras is an Aelid and about a kilometer away. Not necessarily easy to get to.

Irs the whole of the 277th, 1,500 men and around 30 MBTs, I figured they found her at the far end.

1500 men and 30 MBTs you say?

I can work with that.

So one else want to interact or have a reason to go to the outer arm?

Alright, does anyone else have anything they want to address to the Concordat? If not, I'm just going to go ahead and skip to the Exploration ship docked in the Shell.

Moscow: I would, but I can't really think of how to bring my guy in at the moment, go ahead without me.

I would be fine with skiping ahead to the start of the expedition.

Do you mind if I enter your territory to seek the Jupiterean fleet? I'll be sending a message in case (from my ship(s) ).

Your a communist right? The UAR would probably allow this if we are forewarned, but don't expect Antivarian merchants to be to happy with you cutting into there profits.

That's not conducive to unifying humanity.

We aren't communist in the classical (bad) sense. More post-scarcity than anything.

Yeah, I'd be willing to work with disgusting xenos just to prevent these guys from firing off a halo ring or something.
