Sea of Tranquility: A Space Mecha Quest

I think in 7 hours I'll do a runoff vote. We have an awkard even spread over a lot of plans, three of which are variations of the same core concept.

    --[X] They say they have a lot of power in the Core: wealth beyond numbers, influence to strip entire planets, the fates of uncountable lives altered in an instant within a smoky backroom by people who will never lay eyes on any of them. They lie. Power is a smoking barrel, the streak of a missile through the sky, the patter of debris pinging off a mech. You've known this ever since you stepped in a Mech and killed your first man, that all the elegant balls, fancy dinners, and diplomatic agreements you were trained for serve no purpose but to try to convince those who actually kill to listen to you for just a bit longer. They call you a madman, Prince Bathory, first in line for the throne and an old domain of 6 inhabited bodies and over 100 billion people, who gave it all up to spend his life shooting scum in the backwater worlds beyond the core. But you never looked back, and as you shape the fates of entire systems in the space between heatbeats with naught but your own fingers on the trigger you know you have more power than they could ever dream of, and you love every second of it. No obscure political maneuver you've ever pulled off has ever tasted as sweet as the spray of oil and hydraulics from an impaled ace.

The flip side is that this means the weight of literal centuries of tradition and history weighs down on him...

This is good.


This needs one little change. You will have a boss, even if just nominally, but I could easily write them to be a parent.


Just saying, everyone will make fun of your for copying the callsign of a legendary mercenary.
Tweaked wording on the latter. MAJOR EXPECATIONS GO.

EDIT: nooooooo alright

[X] Plan: the old man

Edit: please, consider, a old man with a cane, getting into his mech, and the proceeding to out pizza the hut.

I mean that literaly, Pizza hut would never stand for it, so the fact he is still alive should be all you need to vote for it.

The Aerolead S-14 "Skyshredder": is a venerable marvel of aerial superiority. Standing at 13 meters and weighing 75 tons, this mech embodies the iconic design which brought Aeroled to the forefront of CSTAFs procurement contract With variable-sweep auxiliary wings, advanced avionics, and twin high-powered thrusters, the Skyshredder dominates the skies, excelling in hit-and-run tactics and air-to-air combat. Its speed and agility make it a feared adversary, leaving enemies in awe of its unparalleled aerial prowess.
The 36mm EMA Autocannon Rifle is a versatile and rapid-firing ballistic weapon, ideal for suppressing enemy targets with a hail of high-velocity projectiles. Known for its reliability and rate of fire, it excels in mid-range engagements, providing a balance between firepower and precision.
Short Ranged Missiles Pods are a compact and agile weapon system, capable of unleashing a barrage of guided micromissiles upon nearby adversaries. Suited for close-quarters combat, these pods provide pilots with a quick and powerful response to threats within their immediate vicinity.

Long Range Missiles Pods are an imposing weapon system designed for engaging enemies at extended distances. Equipped with advanced targeting systems, these pods launch precision-guided cruise missiles, allowing pilots to strike from afar with deadly accuracy.
The Pilebunker is a hydraulic-powered, close-range weapon designed for breaching enemy armor. With a powerful thrust, it can puncture through thick plating, delivering devastating blows to vulnerable components. Ideal for mechs engaged in aggressive, point-blank confrontations.
Compiled information on the mech and weapons of the blood bath king vote for easy reading. Frankly I really like this build as lean fast machine ready for conflict at all ranges, and find optional write in excellent. I'd much rather be Merc fighting for the thrill of it than more common reasons like freedom or money.
