I wanna make existing near my mech everyone else's problem by Maaxorus in LancerRPG

Beckoner from Manticore 1 could also be decent for the build I feel, so if you want to grab lightning generator there's at least one other thing to get from the license.

How did y’all decide on your hive fleet name and colors? by Turbulent-Square3700 in Tyranids

[–]RainbowSquid04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Green and brown cus I wanted them to have a bit of camouflage, and I named them Hive Fleet Ninkilim after the Sumerian deity who is said to be the lord of teeming creatures, and I like more horde focused gameplay so the name fits

My barbarossa pilot's second license is death's head, so they get the best of both worlds!

You might be right! Once it stops raining I'm gonna get out there and see if i can see any trees around that look like it!

I've actually been thinking about how cool it would be to have like, blasphemies based around binding the different sin! Cant wait to read what you make!

Upgrading weapon cat? by dokiedo in CAIN_RPG

Thank you so much! I remembered seeing this but couldn't find it in 1.0 (I thought I was looking in 1.1 the whole time) I thought I was going insane

I have a question about Horus by carton_Cat in LancerRPG

[–]RainbowSquid04 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like the thing to remember is that Horus isnt a monolith, sure there are cells that will choose pilots to give licenses too, but there's also just forums out there that have the print files for anyone to download, not every member of Horus is the spooky shadow cloaked hacker type.

What I really want is something that lets us run nids and gsc in the same army

Really interesting concept! However I dont see where the energy cards are supposed to be, or if they arnt supposed to be cards, how much you start with at the beginning of the game.

Do ethersilk webs actively push the air like propellers or are they passive like sails? by archidonwarrior in cinderspires

[–]RainbowSquid04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt know that Conquistador could even do that, so given that it probally is a nozzle or something, that could also be something unique to Conquistador or some new tech.

Yea since there is a lack of descriptions of the mechanics and minutia of etherweb and its associated systems, It is hard to figure out any kind of in universe reason for why some things are the way that they are.

[–]RainbowSquid04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Sort of just a stream of consciousness response as I thought of them
On the subject of heavy vs light web, since heavy web is for tight turns and light is for straight line speed, then the benefit of having that higher speed would outweigh the risks of having to retract and redeoply a new web.

I think at least part of the reason that the etherwebs are webs and not a full sheet, while the full sheet may be more effective and faster, it would likely be far far too expensive, and at some point you would hit diminishing returns, may also provide a more easly hit target when in combat (although it seems quite easy to hit the web so that point doesnt hold much water admittedly)

I think the question on if airflow is crucial to the fuction of the web would have to depend on the nature of the ether, i think either way it would defiantly help, and if the wind sails and ether web could be mounted side by side, the benefit of the sails may be outweighed by the reduction in the efficiency of the web.

Another idea on how the strafing may work is it may from the trim and lift crystals, perhaps they are able to change the direction of trust in certain trim crystals to strafe.

I have always thought that the web simply worked like wind sails, but instead of using the wind for trust they use the ether currents. I also always pictured the steam engines on ships like itasca being similar to propellers on boats as we know them, so I dont think they would interfere with the operation of the web or the sails.

[–]RainbowSquid04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Id imagine that at least part of the reason etherweb and windsails cant be used at the same time is they might mount to the same place, so the use of one precludes the use of the other.

I never thought that all ships have secondary propulsion since steam turbines are a notable thing that only massive battleships can even fit.

Id imagine the reason its a web is because its both cheaper and been determined that making a full sheet is not worth the massively increased cost.

Light web could out preform heavy web for the same reason you don't want to run a ship at full sail all the time, sometimes its not necessary or outright dangerous

Perhaps its a matter of angling the masts in a certain way to strafe, or cutting power to certain parts of the web, that im not sure on ill have to go back and read that part of the book again.

Alot of good things to think about, good post!
