OK, everybody, the poll result are in and are very clear.  We're heading back to the void one final time in the campaign!

So, what I desperately need from EVERYONE who has them is a list a WarShips, DropShips, and Microfighter squadrons that you own and are willing to let us use for this scenario.  I need it posted up here by this Sunday (which is the last day, incidentally, of the Cincinnati Cease & Desist Regional Stage Combat Workshop at NKU, at which I am teaching and assisting in coordination; all are invited - Brent, you should try VERY hard to make it out for a day - and this is what I've been prepping for instead of catching up on things here).  


Next, XP has been updated, with the +30 everyone received from their last mission.

As a reward for service, taking into account that you have 2 years of downtime and thus PLENTY of time to do stuff, the following rewards are being granted by the grateful SLDF High Command.  Additionally, all soldiers below the rank of Master Sergeant and having served at 2 Combat Tours ("Summer" is a Combat Tour, "Apollo" is a Combat Tour, and so forth) with the unit are eligible for promotion

Rob, I've got a few questions for you:

1. Can you provide a list of mech quirks?  My understanding is that they're in Strategic Operations which is out of print.
2. For the unit modification, I'm a bit confused.  Are you saying basically that you can rework your entire weapon / equipment / heat sink load (within reason) provided assuming no engine or gyro mod and keep the same tonnage, correct?
3. You had mentioned being able to get rid of the poor maintenance flaw as part of the award.  Would that be the entire award or how would that work with the other option?

Erm, no I can't.  Mainly for copyright reasons.  Give me a bit and then check your PMs.

2. For the unit modification, I'm a bit confused.  Are you saying basically that you can rework your entire weapon / equipment / heat sink load (within reason) provided assuming no engine or gyro mod and keep the same tonnage, correct?

No.  A single modification.  Such as swapping a large laser for an ER model, or swapping an ERPPC for a Snub-nose PPC and a double heat sink.  In retrospect, i worded it poorly, but I was trying to not type out a huge wall o' text.

3. You had mentioned being able to get rid of the poor maintenance flaw as part of the award.  Would that be the entire award or how would that work with the other option?

2 options to get rid of that.  1) pay it off in XP.  2) Take a positive Mech Quirk at the same value as the Flaw's value (a 1 point quirk or flaw is equal to 100 XP).  I cannot recall: did you partially pay off your Flaw?  If so, there's another option we can do.

[Death or Glory]

Rob, for my mech modification, I'd like to replace the ER Large Laser and half a ton of machine gun ammo with four Medium Lasers, one double heat sink, and half a ton of armor.

Edit: Reworded for clarity.

Single modification.  Lose the Large laser, swap it for the x4 Meds and x1 DHS.  That's 1 item.

Okay, ignore the part about machine gun ammo and armor then.

ok so how does this work exactly i have a 10 i can do anything meeting or under 10 is that meaning i can do one of each or one or the other regarding that also is it like a point based thing where if we use 7 of 10 we get 300 xp leftover essentially or is it you get one lose the remaining points can give slight walk through as far as flow chart of selecting and such

Two things.

First.  Periods go at the end of sentences.

Second, you achieved the "9" threshold, so you have your choice of a single 1 or 2 point mech quirk OR you can make a single modification to your Mech, which boils down to take ONE THING in your Mech (an SRM-6, or a PPC, or your armor) and change it for an equivalent weight in *stuff*.  A good example is John's Phoenix Hawk, above, taking one thing (its ER Large Laser) and is swapping it for *stuff* (x4 Medium Lasers and a Double Heat Sink).

Cool?

[Hat]

Rob: is the improved targeting 2/3/4 points as listed in the text, or 3/4/5 as listed in the title?

[EDIT] Nevermind.  A Time of War has the list and confirms the 3/4/5.

For my modification then I'll take the Combat Computer Trait.  I'm also spending my 100 XP on buying down my Unlucky to level 1.

Last call for AreoSpace units, please.

[Knightofargh]

95% unable to make the 23rd due to work being incapable of planning.

[Riegien]

Last call for AreoSpace units, please.

I can provide 12 bases of starfury microfighters and 4 chronos frigates, but I do not have any AT sized btech stuff. 

I can also bring a b5wars Poseidon to use as a club.
