A'ight, space magic. Cool. One last general question: do you guys have a general research path that we're going to follow, or will it be at the whims of our cadre of eggheads and wrench wenches?

Failed attempts by Lusett to create magic goo?

Sweet, I'm dumb. Let me fix that...
I left some things open, as the gene mods and engineering show, but I do have some items and general stuff for us to go after. It largely depends on the foes we fight, too. Let me look for the list...

Fix - Illuminator Gunsight - An advanced scope that can read elerium emissions, which is crucial to detecting cloaked targets. Incredibly expensive to manufacture, so the XSDF does not have many to field.

Also gem why did you rate the chryysalid entry with a friendly
I expect that kind of behavior from frost, but you?

MEC-tier suppression, perhaps? Recall that one of the problems in EW that prevented MECs from suppressing was overheating issues, so it could be a fix.

Ahh, that can work. I think I miswrote an ability or something, but I don't mind MECs figuring out the whole suppression thing.

By the way, now that we have all the starting information up you can start creating your characters. Just be aware that if you want them to grow up on a colony, more information relating to the existing colonies will be given by a certain Rammalech in awhile. There's no rush: we probably won't be starting anything for over a month, what with people getting a nice break in and me going on a long trip in two weeks for 2.5 weeks.

So I've got a month to explain why Penny has 5 children and Isaac is a quadriplegic.
Good.

Make sure to submit them for GM review before posting. (Not that we have a character bios thread up yet anyway)

So I may have found an awesome picture while randomly browsing. The character was blond, so I had to do some meticulous paint editing for about an hour, but here it is.
All image credit goes to Vinnythecake on Deviantart, I just borrowed the picture and modified the hair color stroke by stroke.
Yes, I kept that idea about her character design that Zombie established in the dark future. Green paint-tip hair is pretty rad.

As long as it isn't literal paint. Dystopian Sasha didn't have the option of hair dye. Either way, though, I love it.So I may have found an awesome picture while randomly browsing. The character was blond, so I had to do some meticulous paint editing for about an hour, but here it is.

Since it has been quiet and all, why don't I get a poll going here? What classes are people thinking about playing next season? For me, I know two classes that I'm set on. Paratrooper and MEC Trooper. Someone else wants to be a paratrooper too, so... if I have 2-3 people that want to be one class, that class is probably full up. If someone really, wholeheartedly wants to be a paratrooper, I'll let them be the third, or have them fight not-Marine for it.

Everyone's gonna have one paratrooper, let's be honest.

Please no.
I love that class to death, but oversaturate it and it loses all meaning. I'll allow 3 paratrooper player characters, maybe four if someone gives me a really good reason...
Otherwise, satisfy your desire by taking one of the paratrooper NPCs under your wing.
