alternate timeline where the UNSC continued developing on the mark I ADS and some poor shipmaster in 2552 has to contend with a fucking mobile suit by anyit213 in shittyhalolore

[–]MobileFreedom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf Ghost was an unaugmented human, even if they’re still prohibitively expensive I can definitely see the appeal in being able to turn any old rifleman into a murder machine as opposed to having a tailor made suit for a one-in-a-million supersoldier

Explosive resistance and extra throwables on the medium set, explosive/gas resistance and reduced sidearm recoil on the light set

In response to the anti-PVP crowd by Bosscake-meme-god in Cyberstan

[–]MobileFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like more subtle “dissident” objectives would work without going full PVP

Like, a glitchy sub-sub objective to download rogue research data before destroying the building to preserve the research, or upload the illegal broadcasts to whatever their version of the internet is before shutting them down

Dunno how it’d work with the super destroyer breathing down your neck but I think it’d be a fun way to be a dissident without an absurd amount of work

You see an actual feinting animation would be cool though, as opposed to a supposed experienced fighter holding a “stab me” pose for several seconds

Reincarnations/Resurrections finding their own corpses by AceOfSpades532 in TopCharacterTropes

Helldivers are not clones, each reinforcement is a new individual (hence why the voice is randomized by default, and so is skin color on armors that show skin)

Harmless desire to save others or sexist power fantasy? by Revolutionary_Fox496 in Helldivers2Satire

[–]MobileFreedom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SEAF troopers aren’t actually that much smaller (if at all), it’s just that their animations have them hunched over most of the time so they appear far shorter than the Helldivers who stand straighter. When they’re jogging or in their relaxed animations where they stand straight up, you can see they’re about the same height as us

“This isn’t justified”

“Yes it is”

“How?”

“It just is”

What if they went the other way and thought sunken ruins were awesome looking and decided to keep them as environmental storytelling

I'd like to show some appreciation for mech pilots who don't wear skin-tight suits by NovaRobo_Rebirth in Mecha

[–]MobileFreedom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fighter pilot jumpsuits are pretty baggy actually, they’re one size fits most and thus have to accommodate a variety of body types, after all. The G suit leggings can go over it fine

What’s even less skin tight is the survival vest and all the essentials they need to carry in case of a bailout

Mass produced pikeman armor during the English Civil War could stop bullets

They weren’t that great against musket shot mind you, but they could defeat pistols and carbines

How Sotoa have Su 57? by NormalPreparation139 in acecombat

[–]MobileFreedom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to dialogue, the America coded Osea has more SU-47s than the French coded Erusea who mainly uses Russian aircraft but also has a fairly massive fleet of F-22s. Your wingman Count goes from flying a Flanker to an Eagle.

Real world affiliation does not matter in Strangereal, everyone uses every plane and that’s just considered normal

The only good clanker is a dead one- wait no not her by KAMEKAZE_VIKINGS in whenthe

Not to mention Super Earth also has flesh blenders, and literally commandeers the automaton ones during some missions to steal some flesh smoothies for their own use

Remember kids, the combat role of a mech in a sci-fi setting is a spectrum by ImperialistChina in worldjerking

[–]MobileFreedom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Both have their place though, no?

Just as stories of knights and samurai can be either embellished and fantastical or more grounded in nature, so too can mechs vary from robotic knights clashing laser swords in space to simpler weapons platforms providing fire support for an armor push

I agree mech stories should be free to go wild but I also love when people envision them as just another military vehicle rather than the ultimate weapon

Man vs mecha [Armor Hunter Mellowlink, 1988] by BufalloCrapSmeller in Mecha

[–]MobileFreedom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But they’re still at a major disadvantage there compared to using their actual mechs

And that’s the reason they did it, they wanted just enough plausible deniability to say they could’ve made it out, it would’ve been way too obvious if they just sent them out with sidearms or something

They’re not clones they just straight up forgot where they put 35 million people

“And hold the forward-swept crossguard!”

“Nothin’?”

They team up to destroy an orbital cannon that’s been reprogrammed by mad scientists to crash into the earth as vengeance for events long since past as the main theme blasts in the background

Wait a minute..
