Okay so we can't build anything, our forces are shit and we can't repair major damage because we have no base.
[X]Plan: Rebase
-[X] Search for a good place to set up shop
-[X] Send out the scouts to search for Bracer Phoenix
Going forward we should get those militia units upgraded to AK brigades if possible and rush for pop 10 once we get a base.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, and that strategy was definitely sound in other vs Quests, but we are nowhere near planning or voting just yet... I have some vital narrative information to share after a chance for others to get their Q&A out of the way.
...you have posted the thread with a comment that basically amounted to "will edit in content later".I am truly surprised that with the glut of information I've provided that I've not generated any questions regarding the new mechanics I'm instituting.

That's not the best way to start the thread. I am not sure people have even noticed the new content since not everyone renews their page to see if it is there yet.
Well, that, and some of us were involved in the beta testing. And/or asleep....you have posted the thread with a comment that basically amounted to "will edit in content later".

I prefer explosive flypaper. The sharp snap and cloud of purple smoke produced by nitrogen triiodide crystals going off is so satisfying. Just be careful when making it. NI3 is safest (though not entirely safe) when wet. Dry, it goes off if you tickle it with a feather.API's are generally too small to effectively engage with Jaegers. Think of it like using a shotgun to kill houseflies, it CAN work but is massive overkill and in no way effective to do so. Collateral damage is guaranteed.
To be fair, since there's another quest running a similar system, and several of us from there knew this quest was going to happen, Smith's got something of a built-in player-base.When one posts in a thread, it is automatically put on their watch, and they get notified when an update arrives.
So you want your first post to be interactive and prompt posts in responce so that people would then receive notifications when something changes in the thread. If they don't see a notification, they don't know to come back.
A notification alert only triggers once a new post goes up in the thread. Editing the post does not trigger the alert again. Just the way the forums work.
Huh? In 2024, the cost of refitting the ruined Jaeger were "prohibitive," but in 2026 it was deemed necessary. What changed? Were they just not replacing lost Jaegers in 2024? Were some critical Jaeger-construction facilities damaged by 2026? Is a large chunk of Jaegers' construction cost the raw materials and not the human time and skill required to assemble them?The battered shell was retrieved, sent to the Santa Monica scrapyard as the damage the repair teams found was excessive...The refit cost were deemed prohibitive.
...
[stuff happens] Suddenly refit is no longer viewed as prohibitive, but expedient.
If those parasites didn't include producers of some kind, I question the stability of their biosphere...and if they did, I question why they evolved to be parasites.A stable and aggressive Antiverse biosphere usually referred to as 'nests' seem intent on replacing our own. All sample of both plant and animal life are found to be predatory in the extreme and they cause environmental damage surrounding the nest by denuding and devouring all earth based biomes they encounter.
Personally, I know too little of the base mechanics to really comment on the changes or anything. But with that in mind, the mechanics changes seem straightforward. Generic mooks can become named elite mooks, civilian casualties and sniper rifles are a thing, some rules tweaks.(OOC) I am truly surprised that with the glut of information I've provided that I've not generated any questions regarding the new mechanics I'm instituting. Either I've done a stellar job explaining things beyond the need to clarify (I'm dubious), or we're assuming this is 'just another'tm versus the world in a new package (hopefully I'm better than that).
(There are a few typos in the infopost, mostly in the form of the wrong homophone being used—your instead of you're, their instead of there, etc. It's still comprehensible, but the typos make it look less "professional".)

Is this something inspired by a bit in one of the films that wasn't well-explained there, either?

(Also, the evolution is going ridiculously fast, but it doesn't rely on evolutionary levels so it's better than a lot of sci-fi.)

I'm kinda surprised that civilian casualties are so low. When I think of Kaiju-scale attacks causing collateral damage, I think of destroying buildings and killing hundreds. Am I missing something scale-wise?

What's the worst he can do, annoy us?
