;p What about a roughly human sized hard light box? Only six shapes! As opposed to the multi-poly of a weapon. Or one depending on how the projectors work.

I was supposing one drone Its entire purpose is a 6 poly box as opposed to however many dozens it takes to make the Hammer we were offered at one point for vista. Both should be doable by a single projector each, as I understand things. Though the size of the box may change that. Any cape that could break out of it would break the shields or hardlight weapons as well.

I'm assuming this is to project a shield around someone? It would be possible if it was inside the box too. Trying to trap someone inside the box that the drone is projecting while outside the box? That wouldn't go so well because the person you're trying to trap is blocking some of the light and thereby interfering with the projection.

Question. Can we make bondage drones? As in, ones that would fly around the enemy and then try to immobilize them? Kinda like that cage-harness-thing in Doctor Strange, only automatic. And can we make them brute-proof?

You could do something very similar with mechashift, yes. That drone would be complicated enough that it would take two build slots per drone, though.

Nanohaverse has quite a bunch of remote drones, flying weapons, funnel-like crap and such, so I'd assume that the answer to that is "ofc".

The next question would then be "Is it really worth the resources and time needed to do it?" I'm skeptical of that since using swarms of drones is not really our standard practice (and I am having enough of that style with other quests, don't really want to see yet another iteration of it here).

Because no amount of personal power will beat the ability to be in several places at the same time even limited to something small. And drones controlled by PS will handily allow that.

Can PS even do that? I don't remember.

I said earlier that any drones built will be controlled primarily by the AI Tim built to take over most of Danny's coordinator role. Taylor is a bombardment mage, not a drone warrior, and even though drones like this are seen being used by the main characters of Nanoha, they are always treated as supplementary weapons that are rarely brought out.

Or, in short, Taylor is a Calamity Witch, not a Transcendent Gadgeteer. She fights like Nanoha and Fate, not like Jail. If your goal is to make her act like Jail, you'll be wasting your time.

Personally I'm more interested in what Silently Watches would come up with. Sure still put 2 slots for Mac's Device and leave the rest for Silently Watches to decide.
 
Oh yeah, one thing. @Silently Watches, a not so small request, if it's not too difficult. Could you make a list of "stuff we've proposed that Tim can build" with the amount of days it would take? Because I feel like we've forgotten more things that we've proposed at this point.
 
Vote 9.20

24 hours on the dot, baby. Tim has four build slots. Go nuts. Remember to use plan format.

[ ] Plan name
-[ ] Project 1
-[ ] Project 2, etc
-[ ] BUY skill
-[ ] BUY skill 2, etc
 
[X] Plan Three Slots
-[X] Boost Device for Maclibuin
-[X] Shock spear/multi-tailed whip for Sam


I thought about shielding drone or radio for Vista, but decided it will be more interesting to see what QM thinks will be useful for us.

Why are we even building drones btw.

Because being having the biggest gun in the world doesn't help much if you're too busy doing meatperson things to know where best to point it.

Whoo!

[X] Plan Valkyries
-[X] Mac's Boost Device
-[X] Heavy Impact Grenadier Hammer for Sam
-[X] BUY Dimensional Transit

EDIT: I just realized the initialism I was going for was an acronym. Yay coincidence! Also, it occurs to me that Mac's device is Celtic styled, not Nordic. So the plan name makes less sense, but it's still catchy.

EDIT2: And now I have Boop stuck in my head. I have no one to blame but myself.

EDIT3: Oh glorious misrememberance! It WAS a Nordic design! Plan Valkyries is go!​

@Silently Watches

Can we have Tim construct us a few remote-controlled and/or VI-controlled drones for overwatch and disabling the opposition?
What weapons can we mount on them (assume at least one with non-lethal capability should be included)?
How well-defended will they be (as in, how easy it's to shoot them down, and can they auto-create hardlight shields or something similar for us when we fly)?
How large will they be?
Can they be controlled via Perfect Storm?

And how close in functionality would that be to those flying spearpoints Nanoha used in StrikerS when dealing with Vivio?

Blaster System are extremely high tier device tech that is a double edged sword. After using em Nanoha could barely walk even using Raising Heart in staff form as a clutch. And there was visible cracks on Raising Heart after Blaster Three was used.

Blaster System puts incredible strain on the user and the device themselves. Which is understandable in that Nanoha managed to cast *five* Starlight Breakers at the same time using Blaster Three.

    I can give it a shot, I suppose. It'll be nice to have that all in one place. All ideas are those suggested during the build discussions since 9.12 or that really stuck in my head.

      • Milo-expy. Sword -> spear -> rifle.

    • Amputate a limb or limb remnant and attach a connection plate for a prosthetic. 1 slot.

    • Duplicate Tinkertech. 1 slot unless it is extraordinarily complicated.
    • Convert Tinkertech to mana. See duplication rule.
    * Can be built by a Gear working independently of Tim. Doing so does not give Tim any tech points.
