Mobile Suit Gundam: Colliding Stars (Sign Up/Recruiting)

Dust and echoes said:
Well you should. At least watch unicorn, its pretty short and really good. If you get past that and still like it, watch a few of the other new ones (00 is good and Iron blooded orphans is turning out well) then if you really like gundam, watch the original. Its old enough that its a tough watch but its worth it.

Anyway, I did actually look up electronic warfare gundams on the wiki before I made the sheet. I wanted to make an Earth Federation character before a hacker character, so I was already limited in my mech choices anyway. Needless to say, I found jack shit. That's why I resorted to making a modified variant instead of just taking one that already existed. Can you give me a link to the electronic warfare MS you mentioned if you can find it?
 
Sure thing, I'll take a quick look. It's Zeon, but I don't see why you cant have a captured MS, especially if you used to be freelancer.

No, I was originally feddie, then went freelancer after Unicorn ended, and then reverted to feddie after my colony got attacked.

EDIT: Still, look it up anyway. I'm very interested.

EDIT 2: On second thought, it's a little weird that I would get my ReZEL back after Unicorn was over. If I retired from the army (even if I was in reserve or something), then they would probably confiscate it. Not doing so would be like giving a retired tank crew their Abrams to drive around. So I could see my character getting a captured Zeon mech for freelance use after I retired from the Earth Feds.

EDIT 3: On third thought, I could potentially get my old ReZEL back if I rejoined, right?

There was that one simpsons episode where Homers dad got his tank back after the war.

Not sure how accurate that is though XD

Also, my internet is terrible right now, and because wiki's have the habit of plastering every spare space with ads, I literally can't scroll down on any wiki page I find. -_-

That AWAC Zakus out there somewhere, but I cant find it for the life of me :(

@Ninjamaster227, do you think it's reasonable to get my Hacker-D back and/or have it as a holdover from Unicorn, or would I be using this captured Mysterious Electronic Warfare Zaku for a good chunk of the RP until the Earth Federation bureaucracy paired me with my old mech?
 
The great search for the EW mobile suit continues....

"I'm not crazy i tell ya! It's in the first or second episode, i swear it!"
 
Well, if your looking for a mobile suit that specifically hacks others, theres several in Unicorn, namely the Neo Zeong (though that thing was so massive and ridiculous I'm thinking thats off the table, and I think the nightingale could do it, though we already have a pilot for one of those.

I think there's another more mass-produced one that could do it, but I can't remember it.

if you search "gundam unicorn mobile suits" you should get a wiki that has a bunch listed.

Are you thinking of this? NZ-999 Neo Zeong

Because while it is absurdly overpowered, the wiki page doesn't claim it can hack other suits.

Hell yeah its overpowered. Its a mobile suit piloted by a mobile suit.


And it controls stuff via the "large funnel bits". it can't do it remotely because literally nothing is done remotely in gundam because of minovsky particles, but the funnels fly out and attach to other mobile suits and control them. It's actually kinda creepy.

Well first off here @Dust and echoes are you talking about the Sniper Zaku-I (cause thats a zaku with a different head). And I found two hacking mobile suits from unicorn the RGM-96X EWAC Jesta and the RGM-89DEW EWAC Jegan. Those could both work since they are electronic warfare mobile suits. And I'd say no you wouldn't be allowed to keep your mobile suit after leaving the military, I mean a civilian with one and no restrictions is basically just asking to be a space pirate/mercenary. But i don't see why if you had a good enough record with the earth federation why you couldn't get it back.

WAIT @Dust and echoes I FOUND IT RMS-119 EWAC Zack

Nah, I know what a sniper Zaku is. I'm talking a big disc-shaped head.

I swear this is a thing. It was in one of the early episodes of Unicorn, where a Sleeves base was under attack, they had one of these things patrolling. It looked like a zaku but its head was huge and disc shaped. I swear to god this I didn't make this up, its gotta be out there... :/

The elusive EWAC Zaku

Well those EW mechs are designed for recon and scanning other mechs. They're not designed to hack MS' like mine. That was what I meant by "electronic warfare" by the way. But these Minovsky particles seem like they would get in the way of any hacking attempts. Is it possible for my character to remain in his current state? Could the Hacker-D exist @Ninjamaster277?

Actually thats an upgraded version of a Hizack not a Zaku, but thats understandable since the Hizack was just the Earth Federation knock off of the Zaku-II

I was going from memory, but yes, upon reading the article you are correct.

Hm, well, if your character is a Newtype, you could possibly rig up a funnel thing. Kishatriya controlled its little laser drones with the pilots mind, so if you combine that with the funnel bits from the Neo Zeong in a sort of jury-rigged way its possible...

Its possible, but theirs going to have to be some give and take here. Like for having this ability your suit might have to sacrifice in one other area like defense (aka your suits almost a glass cannon) or doing this requires a LOT of action points (Which i'm almost 100% set on making the combat system for after looking at a few other RP's still considering others though)

What if his suit exchanged these for his ranged weapons? That way he can still have badass melee fights that are staple of the gundam universe, but be vulnerable at range.

Well, you do have people running around in fucking Nightingales. How are you going to balance them out so they don't utterly annihilate everyone else who's not in a Gundam?

You know that could take days/weeks to sort out fairly, for now sure your character can stay the same (provided you don't abuse the ability by shutting down every suit before a real fight can actually happen). If their are more problems we'll address them as quickly as possible when they arise. I'll add you to the list.

I mean, this may bum some people out, but what if we just don't start out with gundams or high powered MS' (ie, the nightinggale, the Kshatriya) and then maybe they can get those later? Of course this puts Non newtypes at a disadvantage because I dont think normal Humans can pilot gundams right?

Well I don't have an issue with this if it makes the RP fair for you all as players (I have a back up suit anyway). But I feel like thats a BIT extreme in this case. I'm sure we can find some kind of middle ground here that way players like @lordZeddthedrunk who've built their whole characters around their suits don't feel cheated. Than if we can't reach it put it up to a vote.
