Yeah probably. But these aren't just "What weapons do you use", this is "Starting Combat Style".

Starting Combat style for Gunner is Long range, at the back, either sniping other gunners or trying to take down the enemy before they get to you. That suggests it would lend itself to evolving closer to something Akin to Funnel-spam, Heightened stealth to allow for ambush sniping, Combat analysis, Heavy artillery, ect. Hand to hand murderblender (weapons optional) doesn't seem likely to arise from that - perhaps not impossible, but far less likely.

You're missing my point.

Yes, there are other types of gun than that

But our starting option is explicitly "At the back, aiming at others, sucks to suck in close range"

What do you think we're doing, trying to target gunners at the opposite end of a battlefield with a flamethrower or a Shotgun.

Like, if we chose close range, we could switch into shotguns way more easily, because they're a gun that's more viable in close combat. If we were a speedster, we'd probably work great with small handguns that are highly manevurable or a spray and pay SMG.

I don't know why I'm arguing. AoD has a meme name, it's going to win regardless.

Eh, if nothing else, might just write in an idea of a Long-range sniping martial art style and see how it ends up flowing out. Again, been on a katanagatari kick and want my kung-fu memes. Figuring out one for long-ranged gunplay instead of close range might be fun. And would probably make me less of a salty jerk.
 
Ah, an Occipital quest I can get in on from the start!

Yeah, I'll Ball with this, UPEND THE EMPIRE!

Does the fact I wave the red maple leaf make me a bad person or is that adjacent enough to traditional Peak Democracy to be accepted? It's sort of a wibbly area as far as I can see.

The Red Maple Leaf is a fine and acceptable Flag! Wave it with pride and join in lockstep for the March To Democracy!
 
Incidentally I'm down with Arsenal primarily because I'm a sucker for Cowboy Bebop style stories, which this would promise to be in the vein of

@occipitallobe

Are we able to make our own oc mecha pilots, subordinates to the main character, who go out and have their own adventures based on the omake we write for em?
 
No, this is not Good Seed, it's a single character story.

It's his break from GS for god's sake! Let the man breathe!
 
Okay so if we're starting at New Amerigo instead of the Monastery, then we've got an interesting object right near home in the form of a Hyperspace tear. Especially because unlike the others on the map, it seems to be a very long way off the hyperspace routes. Depending on what Hyperspace tears are, might be worth checking that out.

Tear looks a little closer to us than the pirates, but yeah, if Amerigo is our starting location, then we're also going to have to deal with them somehow.

...Which honestly thinking about it, that anti-ambush beacon might start paying for itself in that case (ignore the fact that we didn't pay for it), given Pirates would be all about ambushes.

Dead plains might have something to scrounge on it somewhere, even if the name isn't all that Encouraging. Closer to the Pirates though.

Kinda excited tbh. The entire right side of the map appears ripe for getting rolled over by a scrappy underdog faction seeking to consolidate shit under themselves. Just needs a force with the right kind of momentum behind it
 
[X] Plan: ARSENAL OF DEMOCRACY
[X] Plan: Rice Fields

hm.... both are good. and while the anti ambush is really nice.... we better learn how to repair our own ride fast.
