I gave that as examples; given JARVIS, you can pretty much assume that whatever advantages there are to the various locations are cumulative. Presumably you'll be using whatever is the most effective unless things go into the crapper IM3-style.Kaioo said:
Which is why I include pretty extensive descriptions whenever it comes up! Anyway, localized vs. distributed is basically, the former is more like brains work with all the processing in one place, e.g. a big ol' supercomputer. The latter would be like the internet, spread out over a large area in bits and pieces. The former is easier to hide and armor up, but the latter would need to be eradicated piece by piece. I basically made the former a prerequisite for personal mind upload stuff since that's what the comics seem to do - it's JARVIS who gets to inhabit the internet.Zen said:
So... next update who is up for building a spaceship?Roarian said:
You want to expose us to the stuff that gave the fantastic four their powers? I think that is a bad idea. We may end up like the thing.SuperSonicSound said:So... next update who is up for building a spaceship?
I find the idea of trolling the hell out of Reed hilarious. Find out when he's planning his launch début and then beat him to the punch and launch our own craft 12 hours before with a big press release.
We should have most of things we need to pull this off, Mk 1 repulsors, Arc reactor at the end of this update.
We just need to build a spacecraft hull around them design life support systems, although this is rather simple and we can just copy the system used on the Apollo missions tbh. The arc reactor/s will provide more than enough power for the craft. If we need more acceleration we can just add more Repulsors.
*ponders*
Do we go for a moon landing run first time out of the bat or go for something more pedestrian?
Just remember that you don't live in a vacuum (yet). The Obi interlude is relevant, and in general you might want to prepare for that. I mean, you got one coinflip away from getting Pepper killed outright in the previous arc, and that was after I gave you four rolls to get out. You only aced one of them, lol.SuperSonicSound said:So... next update who is up for building a spaceship?

For simpler and safer trolling, why not wait for them to launch, and then minutes later do a massive press release regarding Arc reactor tech/repulsors/everything else we've developed by then.SuperSonicSound said:
Quick question will we find out from Rhodes what happened with regard to our equipment next update, or do we need to actively pursue that our selves?Roarian said:
We would only need to follow a different vector. Space is big enough for us to easily avoid it.Nightblade said:
I think a 'why not both' gif is needed here.serapheus said:I think one of the other suggestions was to suit up, fly up to his ship, knock on the windscreen, and wave.
He won't act on the intel he gathers, no. I leave that open to you whenever you're ready for it, since you know you'll get in trouble. Unless you wait an unreasonably long time for something to happen, you can put it off in favour of other things if you need to.SuperSonicSound said:
Hell, he was wearing it when that grenade went off in the movie, and it still managed to pierce through and nearly hit his heart...serapheus said:
Ah. I was thinking you were referring to the bomb from like two updates ago...serapheus said:
So uhh.. How quickly can we build a new suit once we hit.. say MK2.. or whatever the improved version is?Roarian said:
Unless you start researching how to use the damn things en masse, you'll either need pilots or you're just making a bitching statue gallery.Kaioo said:
Well, Kevlar by its own nature sucks against stuff like grenade fragments. You need a flak jacket or something similar against those.serapheus said:

He can always go build a Rescue armor for her, because the only thing Tony knows to get her for her birthday is power armor.serapheus said:
All depends on our relationship with Pepper. Honestly, we're going to need to trust our tech to some people at some point. Pepper is loyal to us directly, and she's not gonna give out our tech if we emphasize how important it is that it not be abused. There's being careful with it, and then there's being incredibly paranoid. Refusing to allow our technology to be used by our friends, some of the people we trust the most, is incredibly paranoid. Especially because people want us to use our tech in spaceships, and a lot more people will be using the spaceships than will be using our low-profile armor.serapheus said:
You want to rely on the sober and function-oriented designs of someone who wears this:serapheus said:
Which is a type outfit that makes a remarkable degree of sense given his abilities, and making it themed allows for easy identification.Roarian said:
The gold and red + mechanical elements didn't tip you off?serapheus said:
The GM said that by not pursuing the armor route to escape in Afghanistan, we changed Tony's personality. We picked up the Careful trait, after all; that is definitely not canon!Tony's personality at all.serapheus said:
You did not turn Tony into a stay-at-home-Mom in the process, though. Yeah, you're a little different from canon, but playing the puppetmaster seems rather OOC from where you are at...Forgothrax said:
