Post contract thoughts.
« on: February 11, 2023, 04:01:10 PM »

Few people have asked for a factory world as a possibility, but would also like to know who all is actively going to reroll for a new CO, along with the timeline of when Paladin (Seth) officially joins the unit as well from GM.

Just general idea of what people want to see going forward post contract.

Jazz CO, LTSG Bischoff will leave unit at end of contract.  He will most likely return to Hesperus and his previous job of test pilot for Defiance Industries.

Plan is for XO LTJG Wolf to step into leadership roll.  She will need to roll character to determine skills/stats.  Or would any part of lance leader death rules on pg 21 of rules be appropriate? [for example warrior gaining 10 skill points to distribute - "blossoming under pressure of command"]

If June marketplace has decent light mechs available, Jazz might be interested in factory to modify a new purchase.

Shadow CO Xiao Lixin will be leaving the 2nd after the end of the contract.  Non-committal for the reason, it perhaps is remarkable that the only other Capellan citizen within the unit led by one from St. Ives, was killed by friendly fire.  Or not.  He's respectful and proper throughout his service.  As the lance otherwise seems fine with the 2nd he leaves them to await a newly assigned CO.

I'm going to roll a new PC.  Don't care too much about factory access depending on how the next op goes.

Any reason for yours? I mean you have a KU and Sunder. Just surprising to see them go. Are you talking complete lance rerolls or just PC?

Id like to have enough cash to see if I can get an xl for the qolfhound if I didn't already and an xl for Archer. Will review on those soon enough to know if its even doable.

My 10 engine hits spread out over my lance would appreciate some times in a factory, but I can make do with the dropship. My factory time would be more for making the quickdraw be armed with more than a few lasers.

Lets run a tally:
Rerolling new PC:
Jazz, Shadow, Norbotten, Lancer (on the fence)
Wanting factory:
Jazz (if applicable 35T acquired), Ironside, Foil, Fire (pending cash reserves,) Lancer (pending GM timeline for new leaders and Paladins arrival)
Shadow and Spectre on the maybe.

Assuming do not care either way:
Osiris, Blitzkrieg, Marigold

No answer:
Fury

Nothing specific for me. Factory time is fine, but I can live without it too. My PC intends to remain with the unit.

What I am currently thinking is stay on planet til June 3rd at latest for purchases, look at contract market for June case something good pops up.

If not, we hit a factory world til Aug, have contracts generated for July, then leave at latest convenience so people can get their repairs/customs done.

Closest worlds are:
St, Ives (1 jump)
Ares (3 jumps) (Capellan)
Warlock (2 jumps) (st ives)

I'm sorry, but I'm not responding specifically so there's no GM/player interference.  Wherever the unit goes, Fury is fine with.
