Magical Girl Escalation Taylor (Worm/Nanoha)

In other news, I knew posting Helpful Kitties would be a mistake because now it's growing in my head. Once this quest is done, would anyone be interested in reading a lighthearted (probably short) story starring Tina and Tara? Not necessarily as Guardian Beasts, but as socially ignorant/improper catgirls that fall into Taylor's life and make things beyond awkward?
If Unwelcomestorm's Constellations can be a runaway success, then there's absolutely an audience for this.

To say that the vote's split is an understatement, I think. Except in Taylor's vote, I think there's pretty clear what people want.

Could we come to an agreement? Seems we're all going for different stuff, but there're point in common.
 
I'd like to modify "Home Improvement", rather than the armor changes I would go for a device workstation, and I don't see an immediate use for upgrading the scrap version of the mana collector, only keeping it as a spare for other projects, so I'd recommend getting the medkits or the body armor we talked about before.
IIRC, the medkits were supposed to be like those found in the old early '90s X-COM games or the ones found in the KoTOR games.

[x] Upgrades & equipment
-[x] slot 1: BASIC mana collector, so we are not using a scrap version.
-[x] slot 2: Device workstation
-[x] slot3: the medkits we talked about last vote

I'm also changing to Telekinesis as it seems nobody else wants multishot.
[x] Telekinesis

Also I would like to look for an opportunity to get a sample of containment foam for Tim to analyze so he can create it if necessary. If grabbing some after a suspect has been foamed is enough, let's do that. Let's put "digital blueprints" to work.
Unless Dragon is willing to tell Tim how to make it for the privateers. That would be the easy way.

I'd be willing to switch my vote to Home Improvement V2 if it swapped Subdermal Voltaic Lattice for Integration, which also has the highest vote count of the proposed Tim skills.

[] LEARN Telekinesis

[] Plan Home Improvement v2

I think what needed to be upgraded was the production equipment, not the power source. That vote up there would let you put more energy in his microfoundry and 3D fabricator but wouldn't let him build any faster, as I understand it.

Also, I think you needed double slots or the full week to upgrade those.

The scrap was said to barely be able to handle both the microfoundry and 3d fabricator, if you want to be able to upgrade or build more of the MF or 3D Fab or any other tech requiring a power source, you need to get more mana collectors or build another generator (which would probably take the fuel resources away from the radio and the two power armors.)

I changed my plan vote to Home Improvement v2.

Actually, we can't speed up production (get more build slots) until we unlock another skill or two for Tim. I think we need to purchase 2 more skills before @Silently Watches will let us increase Tim's production, but it might be down to 1, or even 3 still...

Actually, IIRC you are wrong.

The spree of omakes I posted back then was meant explicitly and specifically to finish getting the learned skills requirement out of the way. I also tallied the number of skills required. Sure I'll check but...

EDIT: I've checked. According to this post, we needed 5 new skills as of June 17th, 2017. According to number crunching in this post (in the end), I've earned or assisted in earning, one way or another, a total of 7 new skills, of which 2 were prior to first post linked. What's more, since all 5 skills-to-learn mentioned in the first post linked, are marked as learned on Tim's character sheet, I'd say we've long since passed the finishing line and kept going for some time afterwards.
I'd be willing to switch my vote to Home Improvement V2 if it swapped Subdermal Voltaic Lattice for Integration, which also has the highest vote count of the proposed Tim skills.

Current Tim skill purchase votes:
Integration: 7
Subdermal Voltaic Lattice: 4
Anti-Magilink Field: 4
Energy Weapons: 2
For the record I am also in favor of investing in Integration rather than SVL.

@edale, @Oruzhiye, @Shaseyu, @veekie if you guys would like, I can change it.


I'm pretty sure Integration will not help us with Danny's situation.
Telepathic radios and advanced sensors would be useful for Privateers. But protection against energy attacks will be useful too.

Actually, @Silently Watches, is it possible for power armor with Subdermal Voltaic Lattice to absorb energy of enemy's attack and then use it somehow - to recharge shields or make your own attack stronger?

I also had a similar idea for the Power Armor as well, kind of like Iron Man with that whip guy from the movie, but that would probably require changing the power source from gasoline powered and probably requires the Energy Weapon to be unlocked as well.
 
[x] Telekinesis .
Again, we have enough dakka for now, moreover we have variability in our firepower. So, vote for utility.

Won't vote for Tim's build, can't really care for the moment. It's more about empower Privateers, and I don't sure what's going on with near leaderless Privateers as the whole thing... Must either find the way to restore Danny (there is at least one guaranteed technically possible solution), or at least establish a new leadership.
 
Alright, changing it.

VOTING WILL CLOSE TOMORROW AFTERNOON

If you're going to vote, make sure your vote has both a plan and a spell. The vote tally only counts your last vote, so if you're making new posts supporting a new plan but forget to copy your spell vote, it won't be counted.
 
Actually, @Silently Watches, is it possible for power armor with Subdermal Voltaic Lattice to absorb energy of enemy's attack and then use it somehow - to recharge shields or make your own attack stronger?
After producing a few of them, could it be modified to do that? Well, mostly the funneling the power into the battery part.
I imagine we'd have to study some kind of energy-absorbing Tinkertech before SW would let us do something like that.
