Glorious Shotgun Princess (ME/Exalted) Thread #2

A female Kirk? So, how many aliens has Hannah slept with?

I'm sorry I'm horribly confused by this statement. So, do these cannons have their muzzles on one side and then stick out the other side of the ship? Also, the idea that Irri is mimicking ALucard from the Abridged series is funny.

Each gun on the broadside extends roughly 300 meters when fully powered and extended. There are 78 such guns on each side of a Kilimanjaro dreadnought. Hannah is going to have 78 of those guns fire directly into Harbinger's face.

And yes. That was intentional. Now, imagine Iri going on a rampage in a hotel in Rio De Janero, or constructingcrafting a gigantic mobile statue to give Jesus a Hug.

Doesn't it take four dreadnoughts to hurt a normal Sovereign Class? I trust these are upgraded.

It takes 4x1.4km 20kg main guns on dreadnaughts. 78x300m 2kg railguns has about the same effect I'd think. its just that normally they don't get to fire ALL THE GUNS! on a single target and that the Reapers generally stay out of broadside range.
 
You mean the scenario in which Jaded Gatemaker of Ages somehow throws Autocthon out of his head and jumps in the rest of Resplendant Harbinger of Ascention's fleet? yeah thats a bad bad scenario.
 
Ironically considering how Perfect defenses work, 78 slightly weaker (but still effective) attacks might actually be superior to any singular, or small number of attacks, regardless of respective yield.
 
Anyone want to guess what Harbinger's lethal\bashing soak is?

You know, I'm not an expert on exalted mechanics, but might not Harbinger's arrogance be his undoing here? If he doesn't consider the Dread to be enough of a threat to pay attention to it, then would it be possible that it's attack might not trigger his surprise negators?

You really just summed up the Primordial War.
 
Auto is tying up Jaded Gatemaker of Ages so that he can't warp in the rest of Harby's fleet thus giving Hanah and Co. the opportunity to strike. There's still another shard SOMEWHERE.
 
I'd say a good description would be "Enough"

A more accurate one would be to use a Directional Titan as a baseline. A Kinetic Barrier providing hardness (Foo), guarding a hull with a soak of around 60 or so. Dreadnaught Reapers are supposed to be world ending threats after all, so a world-ending artifact is a good baseline to use.

With that said, Mass Effect guns tend to hit pretty fucking hard, but if they can't break down that Kinetic Barrier, there's not much they can do.

Correction: Hannah the chance to strike, with a gun being modded up by Iri. Who makes handguns that hit with a third the impact force of a Dreadnought's cannon. Hannah probably wants to point the main gun away from Eden Prime.
 
Well by and Co I meant Hackett...no matter, and yeah a gun like that I'd point away from just about anything.
Edit: unless they are all lined up then I'd have no compuctions about using it.
 
What do you mean pointing away from Eden Prime? By the SB bylaws and customs extinction level guns are the only proper hardware to mount on dreadnought class vessels Gregg :p

I can't wait for harby to ignore the attack because 'it'll never get past my defenses anyway'. Iri's little modifications will give it.....enough kick I am sure to drop him down enough to reconsider sticking around for a second salvo.

You know, the faint possibility does exist that Harbinger did not survive millions of years and thousands of reincarnated Solar Exalted by being careless and assuming that things attacking him pose no real threat. If he notices the dreadnought, he'll blow it out of the sky whether he thinks it stands a chance of hurting him or not, and if he doesn't notice it, they're only going to get one shot before he retaliates. And he will have surprise negators, so it won't hit nearly as hard as they want it to, and definitely not hard enough to take him out in one go.

Which is my Iri is wearing the dreadnaught pants.
 
Iri is an Alchemical that's most likely 100 000 years old, or older. She's also at minimum a Colossus level Alchemical.

Why would she not have the required Charms to achieve orbit on her own?

Wait how did Iri get onto Hanah's ship wasn't the ship in space and wasn't Iri on the surface of Eden Prime?

Iri's an elder alchemical with a metric fuckton of XP. Think magic kung-fu super robot.

But would a broadside attack count as a flurry, and does he have a flurry breaker?

It counts as an artillery strike. :V. Now go find the seven or so pages of tangents from the first thread! It all comes full circle.

Iri is one of those Alchies who, rather than turn into a city- which would then be filled with spiders who walk and speak like man, she continued to develop her Colossus- and original-body charms. Hence, 8 meter tall spider which can build cities within hours thanks to her ri-fucking-diculous levels of crafting charms. And stupid elsewhere tricks.

Flurry breakers are just abilities that let you move out of range in the middle of something. The question is, "does this let Harbinger move out of the area the dreadnought's guns can hit?"

Oh, GOD. One of THOSE characters. The ones who's sheets could fill a paperback supplement with all the custom abilities they have. And she's hotroding a dreadnaught gun battery when she can make pistols that hit in that general range? Poor Harby.

Against a capship battery hotrodded by Iri? I don't think they MAKE flurry-breakers for that.
