Also, we'd have to wait until FPoP hits Essence 4 for her to have the Personal Essence needed for PLM's commitment cost.
This has been discussed before, and the general consensus IIRC was "NOPE, not worth the risk".
Edit: Removed a redundant word.

Given that Benjy does dynakinesis, working up a forcefield that he can't simply drain might be a tall order.
And prohibitively power-expensive to boot.
Agreed.
Or even simpler: build a set of shockbatons and work Melee.
Which saves armor slots and time on armor redesign.
Agreed.
Kill missiles currently are of dubious value.
Few things we can't already kill that will die to missiles.
Barring some warhead breakthrough, I'm not seeing the point.
I'd worry about the power cost.
But then again, nothing stops us from building an armor suit where the flight module is exchanged for a teleport module.
And then once we're on site, we can simply switch armor suits.
Strategic mobility. Done.
And assuming Strider is still alive, we even have a parahuman model to crib that from.

As a general rule, if the question is, "has this been discussed before" the answer is usually...Yes. At length. Multiple times, even.
As an added note: this forum has a search function. Use it.

Huh, good idea for PR, we can shape the drones like smileys.

Though Experiment hurt my head:
So, when Missy messes with space people can still breathe. So, though she's bending space, she's not actually mucking with matter--the volume of ther warped area actually changes and normal air fills it to fill normal unwarped lungs.
1) She could muck around with the weather given enough space, I think, by making Low or high pressure zones.
2) If she warped the Cradle larger it's very possible that Essence saturation would speed up

This could be worth trying.

Don't think that will work, since she is not warping the space on Autochthons side. I assume. Even if she did, what makes you think that Essence has physical dimensions? It's probably completely irrelevant how large the cradle is when it comes to Essence transfer.
I'm still more interested in finding out whether the Cradle is stationary relative to the Earth's core or something else.

What matters is getting more matter to flow over the portal and get "charged" with Essence.
Faultline's Crew, added benefit is that Faultline and Tattletale don't exactly get along.
Have we completely discarded the idea of tinkertech guns that shoot drones firing tinkertech bows with trick arrows?
Also, 'yes please' to fist-headed knockout arrows.

I think it was his original plan, before he decided to let people vote on the build. He may also have erred slightly on the attributes he gave out, as he didn't originally intend to post them. Really the whole charm selection bit was a huge mess.
Wasn't Mobile Sensory Drone the one that would have turned us into a swarm abomination? That would have been pretty cool. I wish we would have gotten that.

Good point. My idea was to figure out how the Cradle holds its position and then manipulate that to zip it around like the old vacuum tube tellies did.
And my former post was not intended to discourage experimentation, even if it sounded like it. I'm all for experimenting with Vista and the Cradle.
...
Which even I realize sounds very, very wrong...

I can't be bothered to expend the energy to care
Enh, reverse Manse on the Cradle. Hell, put a throne in the middle of it and EOA can sit there and expend Essence to add to the slow trickle out.
Mind, it would be difficult, as there are no dragon lines, but whatever.

Smurf has TK.
Might work against Levi though.
God help us if/when we have to face Tohu.
I have no intention in doing hand to hand if we can avoid it.
Still, sometimes we won't be able to avoid it.
And given that we have limited module slots on our armor, I'd rather devote them to speccing for our primary role.
That said, armed Martial Arts are a thing; Escrima for example uses sticks, knives, and improvised weapons as diverse as belts, handkerchiefs, broken bottles and car keys.
Armed combat >>>Unarmed combat.
And due to hammerspace, we are never unarmed.
We're a craftsperson; if we're fighting unarmed, we're doing something wrong.
Lemme point out that on a strategic scale, teleportation beats our flight.
Especially since we're limited to ~80 miles/hour.
Besides, our flight module can only carry one extra person; a teleport module that allows us to teleport everyone in a 30 foot diameter would be a useful tool.
A recall beacon type thing for Endbringer fights would be useful if we could integrate them into the armbands; you go down and it signals your location for the teleporter to beam you out to the medical tents.
Not really seeing personal teleporters as being feasible for combat use though.
Lol.
Yes it was.
If we were going villain/independent sure.
But since we went the PRT route? Tinker was probably a better choice.
Or we could have loaded up on Social charms instead; I wonder how Emotive Esthetics of the Body Electric would go.

It's pretty divergent. There's a MOBA-like game that the Travelers play that never existed in real life. That said, there's no reason why Portal couldn't exist in Aleph. It very likely doesn't exist in Bet, simply because the infrastructure doesn't exist for a gaming industry on the scale that we have.
I thought the consensus was "check with Iris" (to make sure that whever happened they would come back as having two seperate minds, and two seperate bodies)
That has also been discussed
