Not necessarily. The pilot of Gundam Alex in War in a Pocket OVA, Christine Mackenzie isn't a Newtype.

Yeah a gundam is just another mobile suit it doesn't have to be piloted by a new type another example of this is in gundam 8th MS team Shiro Amada a normal man pilots the Ez-8 gundam and the RX-79 Ground Gundam without any trouble. Newtypes are deadly in any mobile suit doesn't matter if its a gundam or a zaku or etc.

i still need to watch 08th MS team. Do you know a reliable place I can stream it from?

Well its been awhile but I watched the dubbed on dailymotion, and I just found this place with a google "RYUANIME". You really should watch it, this and Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (dat final credit scene with the Titans jackets) are some of my top gundam OVA's of all time. And since i'm talking about it my least is favorite 0080 War in the pocket lol.
And just to get it out there I HATE Seed Destiny, Shinn asuka is the anti thesis of everything I love about the gundam series.

Also i'm just going to say this for now, we'll just abide by the new rule I set in place. Its ok to have slightly powerful mobile suit provided you don't abuse its abilities in a way that makes the RP less enjoyable for the other players, and after you've ran it by me.

You didn't actually add me btw. You did add rule 5, however. Since I'm built around hacking, what exactly constitutes abuse of my ability?

How could I forgot about the 08th MS Team !? Utterly adore that OVA Series !
Made some super minor edits to my character. Appearance wise it looks like I unknowingly based Tan on Carta from Iron Blood Orphans lol.

I say something like "Oh, i hack the entire enemy force and make them shoot each other," or "I make the massive boss rip its own head off" which, to be fair, is stuff that Neo Zeong did, but in the context of the game its going to get a bit unfair.
Maybe limit yourself to hacking NPC's, or if you want a to hack a player, ask them OOC first? I don't know how freeform this is going to be.

On a side note I based Tan on Cima from Stardust Memory and I was going to use her Tetra Mobile Suit, but the Kämpfer is my favorite Zeon suit so....

Ok their you added, now what constitutes abuse is if you constantly spam the power during the fight, in way that doesn't really allow the other player to fight back or counter. Like "oh your shut down and their isn't a thing you can do about it haha" or "Now I'll make the enemies shot each other until no ones left mawhaha" That and maybe have a recharge time between your "hacks" to allow them that time to counter occasionally. (Don't worry if another player is considered "op" i'll have this conversation with them as well this isnt just you)

Me to I love 08th MS Team especially since not only was it my first gundam series but my first anime series in general. Watched it during the 90's on toonami and fell in love with the gundam franchise.
And thank you finally someone else who loves Gundam 00 that is in my top 3 favorite gundam series of all time.
Also ironically despite having three of the mobile suits in my gundam collection have not actually watched Iron-Blooded Orphans yet. I was going to watch the sub, until yesterday when Toonami announced their going to start streaming it every weekend. Starting in June so I just going to wait for the dub.

Yeah, that's the thing. The Hacker-D was a mass-produced suit for a reason, even in a limited run: One suit can only do so much. Each virus has to contend with any antivirus the other mech has, and only if it gets past the defenses can it do anything. It's been nine years since the Hacker-D was last used against Zeon forces, so the SoZ will have improved their cyberdefenses by a fair amount. Thus, in order to stay relevant, the Hacker-D has to have better cyberweapons uploaded to its memory, which the SoZ then learn to defend against, and then I have to get even better viruses from my Earth Fed employers, and so on.
Plus, there's a fair difference in the types of malware I can send. Trojans (normal kinds) can only steal information from enemy computers. RATs (Remote Access Trojans) leave the enemy entirely at my mercy, but controlling another mech takes up a fair bit of processing power, so the Hacker-D gets more vulnerable the more mechs I have a connection to (which is very, very small. I'd say ten max). Viruses and worms send themselves from mech to mech, avoiding this problem but they can only perform pre-defined functions, like turning off the sensory equipment and such. Also, while the Hacker-D has more memory than your average MS, it won't be able to store viruses for every situation, meaning that I can only do so many things with them.
Yeah, uploading a virus also takes time. So there'd probably be an upload meter ticking up every round, and only when full do I get to screw with the enemy. Newtypes could take direct control over their mech psychokinetically and counter as well. And then there's probably a chance the virus gets caught by the mech's cybersecurity and I have to start all over again from 0% upload. @Ninjamaster227 What do you think of these limitations?

Yeah I think everything should work nicely now with these kinds of adjustments. That sounds like a fairly straight forward system of limitations.

Ok, everyone, list your model collection if you have them! GO!
got the Grimoire and Gundam G-self, even though reconguista was rather Mediocre.
I've got Kshatriya and Geara Zulu from Unicorn
Got that one blue custom mecha from 00 that I'm drawing a blank on the name (it turned into a jet?) and I used to have Throne Zwei but it got knocked off a table and shattered. I cried for weeks. I still cry sometimes. T.T I love that MS...
I've got Barbados from IBO and one of the Gjallerhorn MS'. I really want a mobile worker and one of those defense force ones with the swords.
Finally I've got the original gundam and zaku II models, because you gotta have the classics yo

@Ninjamaster227 By the way, you read my backstory, right? Is the attack on Alpha Seven in-character for the SoZ or are they more honorable than that?

Oh, one more thing @Ninjamaster227. I believe the more advanced mechs have newer operating systems, right? The newer and the more exclusive the OS, the harder it is to get into because fewer people have tried to hack it. Plus, experimental and prototype units will be more valuable than the rank-and-file SoZ suits, and thus will have far more money and manpower poured into their operating systems. While it doesn't necessarily translate to better cybersecurity, it probably will, since this is a universe in which the Hacker-D existed in the first place. So the Nightingale, for example, will probably be a bitch to hack.
And another thing (I lied): Will there be any potential for new mobile suits to be produced during this RP? As war breaks out, both sides will be scrambling to produce more advanced mobile suits, and as the SoZ steals more territory it will get more resources, and thus may be able to design its own mobile suits in the future. And the Earth Federation has a buttload of resources anyway, so they'll be making their own suits too, right? What I'm asking is whether we'll end up with original mobile suits altogether, not just special variants, once the RP timeline hits a certain point.

I knew I was forgetting something yyyyyyeeeeaaaahhhh the Sons of Sons wouldn't straight up murder a colony like that this early into the war. The example they made was the terrorist attack on earth, and stealing the command ship. That might be something they do "later" into the war, but right now their trying to rally the colonies behind them. That would have the opposite effect they want and would turn MANY away from them. If your dead set on keeping that back story, than that was a radical cell in the Sons of Zeon which survivors were than publicly dealt with by the rest of the organization to show they didn't represent the group as a whole.
The whole theme of this RP is going to be that their isn't really a good or bad guy in war, the Sons of Zeon might have started it but the Earth Federation are going to do some "less than honorable" things to get the kind of results they want. Like in the 08th mobile suit team, when early signs of what would one day become the Titans organization reared its ugly head. It's when a corrupt earth official fires on a surrender Zeon hospital ship. Another and one of my favorite examples is the end credit scenes of Stardust Memory when all the federation characters are putting on the Titans uniforms. Moments like these to show no on is innocent in war its just a long period of Grey.
Also since I brought it up as much as I hate that evil commander in 08th MS Team, he is in another scene I love that also has him die bonus. A mobile armor fires a giant beam blast straight at the federation base he at, and you see ALL the soldiers panic and desperately try to escape except for him who just looks right at the incoming blast and say "fools theirs no running from this" and BAM instant karma.

Thats a very good question and i'd say hell yes. At some point in the war that I feel has been long enough newer mobile suits will be made (then we can use outside universal century suits and say their newer suits made during the war arms race. As long as they aren't to ridiculous like no G Gundam suits, GN Drives from 00, or Turn A as much as I'd love to we can't have mustache gundam in this). They also need to be approved by me first before hand. I already was planning and pulling a Stardust Memory and having my mobile suit destroyed during the middle, and getting a new suit towards the second half/climax of the RP. Which will be the Gundam Mk-III i'm going to change my starting suit now to something else.

This is actually one of my favorite things about a majority of the gundam series, especially the ones set int the UC timeline. There are no "Bad guys" but there are no "good guys" either. I especially like how unicorn did it, where the protagonist switches sides several times and you get to see the motivations and flaws of both sides, and you can easily make a strong argument for siding with either one.

Well, my concern is that the ReZEL is already like nine years old before the RP even begins. Eventually, I'm going to need to get a new mech, preferably one that also has hacking abilities to fit with my character's archetype. Perhaps a completely original design, or a cyberwarfare gundam?
