Jman4117 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is where anyone that wants to play along by being a pilot can request what they want to be and what they want to pilot. I've just put up part of the first post that provides an intro to the game and the first training mission that you have to go through to unlock the "things that aren't crap"TM Is there a way around the 10 image limit? it won't let me post in consecutive posts in the same thread with over 10 total either. Edit: yay, posted, I guess it's just a time limit or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You should be getting 15 images per post and there is a 15min wait between multiple posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sorry for posting in your AAR thread yesterday, just realized you too have a separate discussion thread. I always thought questions and discussion add life to AAR thread that is otherwise all pics and a bit of storytelling but whatever suits the AAR author best.

Jman4117 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 No worries really. It's mainly to keep posts from coming in between parts in an installment and being missed. I'd hate to miss someone that wanted to have a character or a custom HERC because I didn't check for new posts while waiting on the timer to allow me to post again.

Space Voyager Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'd hate to miss someone that wanted to have a character or a custom HERCWe can do that? Can I apply? Or would it be better to wait for some hot shot upgraded herc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sure, right now there are 2 Ogres that will be the main fighting machines until the Demons are given to us. After the next mission there should be enough to have either a Giant carrying heavy cannons or a Sensei/Remora carrying missiles since the Ogres are really good at taking down shields but lack the ability to effectively finish the job. And since you're all clones you can just be copied into a new body when something better comes along there as well. If you want one of the Ogre pilots I can name him before going on the mission. Any herc upgrades would have to wait until the next mission since we're at like 500 credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ogre... Ogre seems great! At least since watching Shreks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireWarrior Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm a sucker for mech games, I'll volunteer happily. Just stuff me in something that shoots and makes stuff go kaboom and I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Wooohooo, I'm killing machines! Erm, am I just a tad girly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Pretty sure Bioderms are asexual, the looks are just there to "honor" past hero pilots. So you are indeed someone "girly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The Space Voyager clone gives a totally girly scream! Ok, my mom was here, right?! I PLEADED her not to tell too much about me! Eh well, as long as the girly scream is one of joy. It is, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Well now you have the manly Tola clone! After this next mission, I'm going to condense things more and not show as many mining missions. so if there is a huge jump in credits, that will be why. I'll be sure to show anything new that happens otherwise. Particularly base assaults and promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Sorry I took 3 days, but I was busy with an addiction to MechCommander, which may be my next AAR if I can figure out a good way to screenshot a real time game easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 No problem, as long as I see action (and survive)!

Jman4117 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 hi guys, my work load went from about 20 hours a week up to about 60, so things have slowed down on this. but it is raining today, so hopefully I can get a new one out tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 and there it is! 35 screens, didn't think it'd take that long, but I managed to get it all in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Just some quick Qs; what do you do between missions? And how much of the play time is occupied by tactical missions vs. the rest of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Missions are probably about 80% of the game. You don't have to wait on them to happen, you just come back to base and can pick one of about 10 from a list to go on. After every mission you want to repair your HERCs and heal your Bioderms. Other than that, it's buying new units and pilots and upgrading when technology allows. The only thing I can think of beyond that is changing your squad composition depending on the mission, but I rarely do that since a horde of Reapers is usually the best thing provided you can afford them.

Jman4117 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well, I finally figured out a way to get my machine to record video with working audio and I broke down and got a youtube account finally so I'm going to try and do the next installments in video unless there are objections. I'll probably record it all at once and add annotations in place of the flavor text between screenshots. If I need more detailed explaining, like I had with the upgrades, I'll probably do it in a block of text under the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Really nice vid, Jman! Is that the music from Earthsiege at the beginning? Loved that game. And that is some serious drug abuse! Smooth mission. Enemy overrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 I believe the music was taken from different CD tracks in Earthsiege 2, which came out around the same time as this. They do however appear to just be short clips and not the full 5+ minute long tracks. Yeah, about 3 Jackups will get most of the higher end units up to their max for the length of a battle. They were totally going into battle completely stoned, especially Ma Yuan who I think had about 6 shots. Fortunately for Bioderms, they don't get hangovers and can get their alcohol streams filtered out when I throw them into the vats when we get home!
