Notes: Approved is based on my guesses, not actual approvals. This can go into the first post, possibly with links to each post added. The Mech section is a Dramatic oversimplification, is based on appearance as well as function, and is bent to humor besides.

***** represents that I can't find said item.

Edit: Making me have to go all the way back when I'm basically done to edit in roles? Mean. Though its good as now they actually contain some relevant information. If anybody has any qualms about anything on the list, simply request and I'll change it. *And the extra spacing between categories didn't work apparently. Oh well. Just means a little work for me.*

Well, as I was envisioning Legion I was imagining a Huge Mech, larger than Heavy if that would be acceptable. Maybe a Super Heavy Class or something like that. Anyway Legion itself doesn't have a way to fight back unless you consider slowly floating toward the opponent ramming speed. I mean if it rammed someone I am sure that person would be out of commission, but then again it would be like Death by steamroller, extremely unlikely and you pretty much would have to be not paying attention to anything going on around you. Also another problem with Legion that comes from its size is that it makes for an easy target, that is what the heavy armor and shielding is for.

Now onto the drones. During the start of the game Legion's combat drones will all be standardized. Each one of them is the size of a light Mech (again if acceptable if not how about half the size of a light mech). The combat drones are equipped with Twin-Linked Plasma cannons, and have a light armor that allows for maximum mobility. The repair drones have extremely heavy armor, and they are the size of a medium mech. They have one job and that is to constantly repair Legion, or anything they are commanded to repair. They do not have anything to fight back with except throwing themselves at a target and suiciding. Of course the sizes and everything is all depended on RMB finds it acceptable, if not they will have to change.

Perhaps mention their type and specialty as well. Just to give people (or, in any case, myself) an overview.

Well the Crusader was meant to be awfully silly to begin with, despite Rory being all serious business. Although I acknowledge that it would be very difficult to use. Rory's coclpit doesn't actually spin with the machine.

Rory himself is also loosely based off of Jeremiah from the anime Code Geass, which is a ridiculously silly anime. Although I do acknowledge the unlikelihood of getting it accepted.

Legion doesn't seem like something feasible while still being fair. One you have to make your own class of mech to even exist, which is something usually reserved for bosses. Two it commands mecha about our size which also seems to be something reserved for bosses. It seems like it would be difficult to deploy in battle and to transport since it is too slow to actually move about the fray like everyone else is going to so if we face a big boss who is capable of obliterating your drones like nobody's business we end up having a teamate who is nothing more than a big floating hunk of metal incapable of doing anything useful.

In an essence you are too strong and too weak all at once. If I were you I'd run something closer to a Heavy, pull your drones down to floating weapons sized rather than mech sized and possibly incorporate the possibility of moving a bit quicker to recover lost drones with an internal system to repair them in order to maintain battle efficiency.

This is of course how I'd build it, no need to actually use it.

Also dig the list, but thanks to it there is now an unbreakable link in my head betwee Nami from Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei and Maxwell.

Now that I think of it your are completely right, let me change it up, though in the character description I think that I describe the combat drones as weapons platforms. I also agree that they should be smaller, I didn't think the size of a light mech would be correct just something I imagined as I thought up Legion. How about each combat drone is 1/5th the size of a light mech, and the two repair drones are the 1/2 the size of a light mech. Also what do you guys think would be an acceptable amount of combat drones, I am thinking 10 is a good number but who know maybe you guys have a better idea. The size of legion should have been heavy mech all along, I guess I got caught up in the whole idea of making it as I envisioned it rather than balancing it out. The way the combat drones look like is the Praetor II from Eve, http://www1.eveinfo.com/img/ids/64_64/1120.jpg sorry about the size of the pic that is the largest one I can find.

Ten drones might be too much. In my opinion, something like six or eight.

Goddamnit.

[rapter200]

Awesome thanks Dracorion, Eight Combat drones that will operate in squads of 2. So 4 per squad, and two repair drones. Ten drones in total.

[krogothwolf]

Still, that's a crap load of drones. I'd say 3 teams of 2, 2 combat teams and a repair team. Anything else just seems overkill.

O-K.... I was looking for a new discussion thread to start us off, and it turns out that its already begun. I will have something up within a few hours. Just posting to say I 'am' alive.
