I'm not the only person who illogically fears the vote's a trap, right? I voted for Waiting, but I fear Stratnet will be wrong and Anna will have to intervene in order to save lives and, as a consequence, be further driven to trust only herself. But by the same token I'm worried that if I voted for Engaging, it'll draw out something really bad to her location and cause one of her flight-mates to be injured, throwing more guilt onto her shoulders.

Maybe I'm just crazy and I've contracted acute pessimism, but I gotta wonder if we're voting to trust or to have our trust broken.
 
She could if she doesn't care about sending humans to their deaths. As she is the best she'd do is probably have them retreat/long range bombard anything that has a chance of actually giving them trouble.
Any commander that doesn't care about sending humans to their deaths is a shitty commander just on the purely utilitarian basis, since human lives, and especially Valkyrie lives, are extremely valuable to war effort. Anna would instead send them to their victory, obliterating whatever Antagonist force is before them. Not doing so would just risk their lives even more, and other lives besides.

I'd say that Avalanche is better than dropping a trap vote on us with nothing hinting of the fact.
 
1: Scrapped Princess, Sentou Yousei Yukikaze, (Very little difference between this and -1, mostly a manner of tone, you'd find it much harder to fuckup and that's about it, for example, the near stroke in Post 6 wouldn't have happened, there'd still be all 317 of the 300 frames, )

-1: MuvLuv Total Eclipse, Code Geass, Chrome Shelled Regios,
Considering this, I dont really think we'll get trap votes without warning.
 
The God Gun is not obsolete. Our use of Wave Force is short ranged at best, except for the Blue Wave, but that one is a sniper rifle, not superheavy artillery.
 
God Gun is a strategic nuke option, it can target anywhere once and it will probably be used on major breach in conjunction with some major attack. Or with showing Antags fake weakness in defenses to lure them into overextension.
 
Bad Case with God Gun is it ends up in the hands of someone who turns it on an Arcology.

Worst Case is the Arcology is one containing someone Anna knows.
 
[X] Wait. STRATNET's assessment appears correct. You will hold, unless something goes seriously awry. You should do your best to not place your squadron in danger, the drones are quickly replaceable and expendable. Keeping your ability, or that of your Heavy Particle Projectors to make such long range attacks through terrain secret will be strategically significant in the medium term future.
 
I just remembered, you can use Higgs instead of Impeller (to a point perhaps) for Wave Force.

That would change things a lot, leaving the Valk with enough impeller at the end.

So, been thinking about something: what does a "Combat Aptitude Test" for "Combat Rating" entail?

I know Anna and Shuri haven't bothered, but I kinda want them to, just so we can see how it's done. Maybe have it be part of a bet/reward for the others, who are very curious?

Eh, for that kind of thing it's probably a gauntlet of scenarios or something.

You can't test Annas combat ability like that, its too high. For example simulators can't take any spacial techniques.

For Aces, analysis of their combat data is used I am sure.

"Weird, our beta translation program looks like it's working and we've got some tentative matches on UN Archive data, but when we try it on Anna's transcript it still just turns out as incoherent electronic shrieking. Except this bit here marked as 'AAAAAAAHHH it's inside me! Get it out get it out get it out!'? But after that it's just more screaming."

"Warning, subject Predator has entered the facility. Threat level maximise."

Just wanted to do a doom eternal reference to how the minor breach prob saw Anna when she went inside.

Thats prob how the antagonist felt as well when they realized that she beat Sekhmet.

Unfortunately one of the functions of wave force is that it completely annihilates any impeller it comes into contact with, so even if a valk did use just higgs, their impeller would still be destroyed by vicinity to the attack at the end. This is why Blue wave is so revolutionary, as it changes the end situation from
"you are within 15km, short range of a very injured and angry type zero, with no higgs and no impeller to protect you"
to
"you are 1000km away from an injured and angry type zero, with no higgs or impeller, but the zero has none either so it will has issues reaching you before you recover."
 
Specialisations:Legion of One: You are extremely capable at dealing with small numbers of elite enemies, your deadliness will grow as the numbers of enemies fall. Grants increased survivability from from all skills. Does not upgrade Shattered Aegis.
Requires: Target Rich Environment Level 2:
Requires: Gate:

Range: 4/120
Precision: 14/200
Interesting. I'm guessing there's additional specialisations that can be discovered. Since they're called "specialisations" I'm guessing obtain multiple is difficulty/impossible.

Anyway, one thing I'll note is that Shuri seems to have some talent/skill with Gate, so going to her for training in it might be a good idea, could help them bond.
Gambling: 50/500 (Class Limit Reached) (Innate Skill)
I think this is supposed to be 50/50.

No, it's 500 limited. Attending the class however won't progress this pursuit at this point however.

All the classes have little skills or bonuses at thresholds, but they're really meant for the other characters. Anna is coming in with better versions/already unlocked bonuses that make the ones from the classes redundant. For example, the warrior has 200/200 for the pursuit of crafting, while the class itself can only teach up to 100. If you were playing another character, you'd have to vote for doing crafting things to get better at it.

Sorta same with gambling, but the pursuit is limited to 500.

Does this apply to all classes, or just the ones Anna already has skills in?

...And could Anna become the Goddess of All Clubs/Classes? 🤔

Hmm. There's also this tidbit:
POST 21 Note: Due to uncertain heading, general skills progression is not currently shown due to pivotal vote. Progression will be updated with Post 22.
So the direction that Anna's skills will evolve will be determined by this vote. Interesting. What sorts of things might she learn, for each option?


As an aside, I'm not really sure how Part 20's vote allocates skill points spent. It looks like the training with instructors and the flights should allocate some points to Wave Force and Target Rich Environment, in addition to the points allocated to finishing Wave Force to tier 2, but I'm not sure how those points are being used.

I've been hoping to get TRE to level 2 anyway, and the Legion of One specialization is very tempting. (When I was scanning skills, Gate was also one that looked interesting to work on.) TRE is not on the "things to learn during reconstruction work", but it also seems like something that this little encounter would provide a massive opportunity to train in, even if she doesn't have LoO yet.

Could we work with the foreign languages club to translate Anna's terminology for impeller into the standardized jargon used by the UN to make it easier for Anna to teach others?

This is the vital part. Could the caster not move some of their impeller elsewhere, out of contact with the forming Wave? Impeller partitions are a thing.

I'm not sure that they can, but I'm not sure that they can't.


@Avalanche there seems to be some confusion with HPP configurations in the stat sheet, with short range using 4*1, medium 1*4, and extreme 4*1...

I had assumed that 4*1 is four single HPPs, and 1*4 one example of four of them combined, is this correct?

Edit: If 4 combined HPPs have this sort of range, what would 10 be capable of I wonder.
