[X] Recruit (Diplomacy, DC ???)
-[X] Negotiation Goal: Acquisition of Reshul as a figurehead of Nar Kaaga to order locals to stand down in face of Combine management takeover to lull them into complacency, testing his abilities to see if the Hutt has potential as an asset and determine future placement among the ranks of the Combine, if the Administrator's personal mentoring may help refine their crude methodology into something more efficient.
--[X] Negotiation Methods: Use Overwatch to outline their position in cold hard facts, demonstrate capabilities and intent of the fate of the population of the planet. Observe their own inefficiencies and failures of their system that lead to our victory. Note the desire for a smooth process in dealings with the locals and a need for a mediator. Outline benefits of the Combine health plan IE biological immortality and body modification within reason whether biological or cybernetic. Offer a position ensuring the surrender and securing of the planet with potential for higher position placement upon conclusion should quality of work be found acceptable. Should intimidation be required, show stalker specimens, with vivisection as final option.
 
ITS AAAALLLIIIIVVVEEEEE

Hurray its returned! Always loved the combine aesthetic and wish there were more quests that used them. Loved the portrayal of the droids (If someone knows what model they are I would appreciate, or is the T shape front to back so its a regular B-1?) as numbering enough to just push through infantry in a straight on fight, but falling to armor, something we see very little of in the movies. The combat was great, loved the usage of the various combine troop types beyond what we see in the main games (have yet to play Alyx).

The description of the Artillery synth getting put together was excellent, putting forth the idea that even though they are bred and designed for the role, they still have to be operated on, with the body having prelayed cooling blood vessels for the entirely artificial gun to be added after. Would love a similar description for Hunters or Striders in the future.

In terms of what to do with the Hutt. From everything I have ever heard, if we kill this Hutt than we are going to be real bad off with most of the criminal underworld, who are quite the force, buuuut we are in an entirely unique galaxy and I wanna see some crazy things get made!

Lastly, there are several aspects of the Hutt physiology which are… Intriguing to your sensibilities. That this subject has survived such ruinous physical damage is reason enough to investigate, let alone the more unusual traits of the species, both rumored and observed, not to mention possibly isolating weaknesses in their biology.

What do you guys think we'd do with an aklay
Some sort of middle ground between hunter and strider I'd think

That is horrifying, I'm imagining an ambush/terror unit that lays in wait before tearing everything in front of it apart and that stalks it's enemies and shrieks when out of line of sight to inflict psychological damage

Now I'm imagining armored Rancors wrestling tanks and acting as weapon platforms

I was thinking more of a fast assault unit
Faster than any strider but more deadly then a hunter
Striking fast and hard

Read everything. Got swayed to this one. I really don't like the threat Reshul represents, but I'm willing to give it a shot. More pawns, the better.
 
It will be interesting to see what options open once our victory is finalized. I imagine that securing the remaining areas of import we know of is in the cards, the palace and such.

My hope still is to convert The Laugh Factory into a conversion facility because the name is just peak ominous. We need more workers as fast as we can get them, and more troops for defending from the ones suitable for such.

We'll definitely want to get started researching the FTL drive. It's a big galaxy but also a quickly reached one, so long as you know where you're going. Having spaceships is important for many reasons including last ditch escape plan.

Will also need to do our part of our deal with the space mercenaries for sure, especially as they took no losses. And having positive relations with mercs is necessary for our continued survival.

Definitely a goal to make the LRAAs we just researched to swat fighters down though, can't be too careful or reliant on goodwill. We can make our own bomber craft for heavier targets rather than try to make a big anti-spaceship gun for heavier ships, since that'd be quite an investment probably, later on we can look into such.

It's also very important that we begin expanding to nearby uninhabited planets as well. We need to start absorbing and resource stripping as many planets as possible to start building up a resource nest egg.
 
Honestly. Hutts are a perfect opportunity to become an administrator, even if they are self centered sleaze bags. And I second the one users opinion of the laugh factory. If we can turn that into a conversion center or our own Nova Prospekt, we will be set.

    • Hope the 'negotiation strategy' I gave is good for Mantising to write up results however they go. Don't worry about holding true to the exact details, it's more the general vibe we like about the game!
