Space Ninja Summer Camp ( Warframe/Worm )

I once fell into that trap of assuming that Warframe criticals worked the same as in, say, World of Warcraft. However, crits in Warframe are...unique. Critical chance isn't capped at 100 in Warframe. In fact, you can clear 100 quite easily on with a common, decently high-rank crit percentage mod such as Point Strike with certain weapons (such as the Paris Prime, Lenz, or
even without Prime mods, Riven mods, or Set mods.The Dread)
The reason why you would want to do that is because there are several types of criticals, from the basic "Yellow Criticals" to "Orange Criticals" all the way to "Red Criticals," named after the color of the damage numbers upon achieving one. And you obtain these types of criticals only by having a crit chance exceeding 100% (which you can read more about here: Critical Hit ).
So for example, I have an 112.5% crit chance on my Paris Prime. That means that not only do I already have guaranteed yellow crits on every hit, I also have a 12.5% chance of obtaining an orange crit for additional damage every shot, increasing my damage output significantly.
Apparently, there are systems already in place for crit chances exceeding 500%, and when you pair even an orange critical with a weapon designed around crits in the first place, a stacked crit damage multiplier, and the ability to consistently land headshots on those brain-dead Grineer?
Well, let's just say that I'm MR 9 and I regularly do in excess of 2800 damage per shot, not counting headshots or orange crits, with an approximately 200-base-damage weapon on one of my crit builds, and leave it at that.
Considering things in story terms, remember back in the third chapter when Taylor shot the E88 mugger with Dread and how the arrow had enough force to nearly tear his upper torso off from his legs? I think that was just a quick draw and release rather than a fully drawn shot. If it was a full draw, I doubt there would be any chest left to pin to the ground.
And that is just from what qualifies as a stealth weapon. My perfered weapon is the Hek shotgun, where if you slap enough damage and multi-shot mods on you may as well have the words "Fuck Subtly!" stamped on the barrels. Just imagine what that can do to not just squishy baseline humans, but to an environment that doesn't have post Orokin construction materials or codes.
And with that Taynno will have a new problem: Glory Girl honked off that someone stole her crown as the Queen of Collateral Damage.

Glory Girl, you have no idea how much collateral damage Tenno are capable of. They can level cities by accident.
I mean, they have destroyed city sized starships ON PURPOSE.
Thinking ahead, what is everyone's predictions on how other members of Earth-Bet cape society will react, aside from a number of villains needing a change of shorts?
I did have one idea that I just need to sit down and hash out. That Taylor's Kavit discovers the internet, and makes contact by whipping Uber and Leet in StarCraft. Completely with him activating a remote observer module to act as a webcam to taunt them.
Now that I think about it, while we know that Taylor has a Kavit and a Kurbow, what has she named them?

I'm not sure what Taylor would use for names, but to fit her character, they would probably be names from English Literature or Greek Mythology.
Now to practice my Google-fu.
Feel free to make suggestions fellow Tenno and soon-to-be Tenno ( you know you wanna play the game!
)Edit: "Tybalt" for the Kavat and "Havoc" for the Kubrow.

No, it's not cannon, it's not even a sidearm
It's also not canon since there was very little in canon about how shards interact with their hosts but what there is was enough to say they don't all interact the same way.
Seems unlikely Alan could have wrapped up his old practice an changed specializations that quickly. 15 months might be enough for Alan to have officially changed specialties so radically, but he'd still be basically an apprentice in his new specialty.

That one was bad and you should feel bad.
True, but keep in mind that his Senior Partner is none other than Carol Dalton, who specializes in Parahuman Law. Alan could easily speak with her about his desire to change career tracks and she would be well positioned to help him handle the CLE necessary along with preparing for the Bar Exam. I have a feeling that part of the reason why he failed to notice Emma's personality shift was he was spending much of his time cramming.
Though now that I think about it, if Alan developed a closer working relationship with Carol, does that mean the Barnes are on speaking terms with New Wave? Because along with Taylor's biology and the fact that Kubrows are egg laying animals driving Amy to drink, just imagine the interactions with Glory Girl. Particularly if Taylor meets them in one of her more masculine Warframes...

Only 2800 damage?

I already told you, that's a) before orange crits, b) before headshots, c) without Primed versions of Point Strike, Serration, or Vital Sense, and also d) I'm MR 9, so that means d1) no Riven mods, and d2) I, like many other relatively low-levels, don't have the resources to even max any of those mods.
To be frank, the fact that I'm getting that value for where I am in the game is seriously impressive.
I think there is also some evidence she was holding on to and was ordered to not release to the defence or something.

At current, only shotguns and secondary have primed crit mods, so primed point strike and primed vital sense are not a thing. Also, as serration is already a rank 10 mod, a primed version is unlikely to happen seeing as the mods so far only goes to rank 10.
I recommend leveling serration and the like to level 8 at first, seeing as the last two levels costs more than the first 8 combined. That way you should have more resources to spend on other mods while still getting a lot out of the mandatory mods.
Why would you go for crit on Tigris Prime when you can get 100% status? Meaning every pellet is going to inflict a status proc. If you want a crit shotgon, I would recommend the Vaykor Hek, regular hek, or the Phage if you are into beam weapons (the Phage uses shotgun mods). Of course, if you really like beam weapons, the amprex is still good even after the Sinister Reach nerf, otherwise the Ignis Wraith is pretty good.
May very well be true, i don't recall. But she is no longer bind to follow the direction of a agent of the government. This she can release the hounds....
Well let the bird out of the cage. Freeing the hounds and their trainer can come later.

Bitch is unlikely to get a pardon. There's extenuating circumstances involving the homicide she's wanted for, but she's also wanted for maiming a slew of cops in the weeks and months following her trigger.
Cite? Because I'm fairly sure that didn't happen.

Okay, I hadn't actually pulled out my Dread in a while. It seems I miscalculated in my initial estimation rather significantly. I have a crit chance of 125% on the Dread, with a base crit multiplier of 5.6x. I have no elements on it, but I have a Slash damage of 1,133 courtesy of slash boosters, multishot, and Serration, along with an Impact and Puncture of 48.4 each.
With a guaranteed Yellow Critical and a non-headshot, that 1000+ base damage increases to 6,886. With a headshot, factoring in both the 2.0x headshot multiplier and the guaranteed 2.0x headcrit multiplier courtesy of the guaranteed yellow crit, that increases to 27,547 total damage. If the extra 25% crit chance procs and I get an orange critical, that leaves a total, best-case scenario damage of 55,095.
You can keep your Tigris Prime, thank you very much.
EDIT: Oh, and by the way, I have a 51.5% status chance courtesy of Hammer Shot, meaning that on top of the brutal initial damage, every other shot has a Slash proc, meaning that I inflict bleed damage on top of that initial 55K if the enemy dares to insult my mighty bow by doing something as tactless as surviving.

I don't disagree. Her list of charges is much longer. The murderer is clearly man slaughter at best since it was not premeditated and she was not aware of the impact of her power at the time.
Subsequent evasion and injuring of officers can't be excused by her trigger, but she does have a mental handicap as a result. So that could be enough fur a decent plea. Especially if she agrees to train service dogs. They are hard to train but with her power she can do in months what takes years.

- How should I know!?
I am 80% sure that was in a Q and A with the author.

It seems I was misremembering a part of 2.2, where Taylor is looking up Bitch's public record. Killed some people (her trigger), and fought off every attempt to bring her in (from both cops and heroes brought in to combat her) until she got recruited by Coil. Of course, when you're using dogs the sizes of horses, people are going to get hurt. And the people in these instances are LEOs, and they don't have Panpan to put them back together again.
I'm also 90% sure WB changes his answer every time he's asked.
He takes pride in being an inveterate troll when asked questions about Worm yes.

Is that established in this story? Because it's definitely not canon. In canon they are both associates in the same firm, and we have no idea what Dalon's specialty is.
Sure, of he could have talked to his buddy Joe Shyster that's not the issue. The issue is:
1)He couldn't simply drop his old clients, he'd need to wrap up all the old cases.
2)learning what he's supposed to do from books is one thing, learning what he actually needs to do is another and the later takes practice and experience. I can see him being able to do the former, but he wouldn't have time for the later.
Quite possible, but since we're not on SB I can say that that doesn't make it canon (secondary canon at best, and given the sort of things Wildbow says not even that IMO).

That's used in America? Huh, always thought it was an Australian thing.

Cool story so far. Only thing I could quibble on, please don't use some weird time speed difference between universes, it just makes things unnecessarily complicated. Just have it that the Grineer somehow went through time or something.

Bit too late for that, man. Taylor's been gone for fifteen years, no changing that.
How do you guys think Danny will react to meeting Konzu?
I think he may hit it off with Konzu as someone in a similar situation. Both are trying to keep their communities going and while he may have a little issue with Konzu employing his daughter as a bounty hunter, he does know Taylor can handle herself.
As for some of the other NPC's, that is a question for discussion. I know that Danny, Alan and Emma would agree with Taylor's assessment that Neyf Anyo is the worst person they have ever met, but I am drawing a blank on the others. Anyone have any thoughts?
Also, question for the Author: has it come up yet which syndicates Taylor is allied/opposed to yet? Because just imagine a syndicate hit squad popping up on Earth-Bet. They always show up at the worst possible time...
