[quote=@MissingAxis] [@Willy Vereb] 1.) It's not the anime inspiration that is an issue, but rather the power levels present in anime. I can't say I've seen either of the ones you're drawing inspiration from, but I think you're misrepresenting the point Dragonruby was trying to make. The issue isn't with giant mechs flying around and blowing things up, it's with the implied scale of the weapons they are equipped with. 1.5) Terminology aside, I'm still going to have to ask you to tone down the power of your mechs' weaponry. Anything that can be described as "[approaching] the firepower of a warship-mounted [weapon]" that is carried by ten meter tall mechs that already have inertial dampening tech and apparently don't require that much re-mass/fuel is fairly out-of-bounds for me. I can deal with the inertial dampening and I can live with the re-mass/fuel thing, because these are common tropes in a space opera and just about everyone in this RP is using it in some way, shape, or form. But I personally can't accept weapons with warship-scale firepower on comparatively tiny mechs. 2.) No longer an issue for me, then. 3.) The concern isn't that synthetic singularities used as a powersource are OP. Rather, it's the possibility of abuse that led to us presenting our concern. As you're no doubt aware, using singularites as bullshit power sources or failsafes for victory is not uncommon. If you're willing to stay in the bounds that you yourself have just outlined, I have no issues with you using them as a neat way of getting around. [/quote]Since 2 and 3 are seemingly solved I address the concerns for the other two. 1.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lul5H-jM69c Would this video help envisioning what the mechs do? 1.5.) Didn't I describe it the other way around? The point is that Panzergeschickt has more limited endurance since it's a small vessel with less fuel reserves and it doesn't charge particle cannons by its own power but use capacitors with already prepared mega particles to get around that issue at the expense of more logistics related to it. This is the same as how fighters carrying nukes can punch above their weight class. Anyways without energy shields and such on the enemy side I suppose it's okay if I nerf them back to OYW levels, kinda the same equipment as you saw in the video. Only the more advanced mechs would have beam weapons. Making it a relatively new tech perhaps reserved for the more prestigious knights?
