It's probabaly going to take some favor trading wrangling for that second point then since I assume mental imprinting General Peters would cost something.

I find that creating a plan and continuously checking if I missed an advisor and then copy paste it again and again to be annoying so I tried to create plan templates so that other people can easily create turn plans with less effort. I will strive to update it if we get new advisors and also create a template plan for fitted for each turn with the pre-filled options.

Any chance we can get this threadmarked under Informational or something, @Basarin? Just to keep it from getting lost and make it easy to find?

Might I suggest retirement then?

"It's just one more lousy job before I'm free of that parasite's influence." Percivax set aside the case file he now had to create. "Might as well take our time, Victoria. It's not likely that the indigenous lifeforms can detect us."

You have an incoming call from Galbinus.

"Unexpectedly early. How did he detect us so soon?"

He said the indigenous lifeforms alerted him.

Any suggestions on how to improve it so people would find it easier to use? For instance, I thought that creating a category for Engineering, Science etcetera would make it easier to see which advisor belongs to which category.

That sounds nice. I wonder if the category names could be bracketed with some symbols that aren't "[", to make them stand out without messing up the formatting.
Like:
- <<Engineering>>

I think that any character apart from [] breaks the formatting, but on the other hand doing something like this:

[] plan formatting
-[] <<Deployment>>
--[] Whatever
-[] <<Defence>>
--[] Etc

May stand out without breaking the formatting? Coloring can also work since the vote tally ignores it when tallying.

The Jackals are being stretched and modified to take on a variety of roles, and they're not entirely suited to all of them. Everything from law enforcement to firefighting and disaster relief operations. The Jackal clearly performs better in some roles than others - the fact it can perform them all is a point in its favor, but it doesn't excel at them,

I still say we look into Combat Engineer vehicles meant for disaster relief to give them Configuration for Constructicons.

Or we do all the firefighting vehicles.

Oh! So that's how it works... Well, this way seems nice.

Excellent!
 
Construction mechs would be pretty cool. It'd certainly free up all the combatant mechs service wide, have knock on effects to building/repairing things, and it'd be technology we wouldn't mind getting out at all.

 
And of course if the Westphallians get their hands on construction mechs, they'd go Killdozer with them.
 
I'm pretty sure the Westphalians are actually ahead of us in civilian vehicles turning into mechs given they have flatbed trucks and regular cars as units with stuff welded on so it wouldn't be too much of a problem even if they do get their hands on it.

I'd even argue construction vehicles are a high priority for them. Extremely durable and physically powerful machinery that also doesn't look out of place in most areas. Nearly perfect to act as support for their operations and easy to move about.
 
Hence Combat Engineer Vehicles since they are more armored and are visually different from civilian construction vehicles.

I'd be fine with a purpose-built support unit, personally (and engineering vehicles sound like they'd fit the bill pretty much by default).

So... what specific types of vehicles should we use for this hypothetical Constructicon combiner? We could go with a cement mixer core, an excavator for one arm, and... tempted to say fire truck, but that seems a bit cliche to me, and (more importantly) there's already a Free Brother who turns into a fire truck (taken literally, admittedly) so that might lead to a bit of confusion. Maybe a crane? Could use a dump truck for one arm, too; that way it'd have a ready-made shield handy.

Incidentally, I also got the very silly, and likely unfeasible, idea of a crop duster robot while trying to think of alternatives to the fire truck.

...on second thought, cement mixers probably wouldn't work that well as core units; unless we only make it look like a cement mixer, the cement would spill everywhere as soon as it configures. Excavator core with crane and dump truck arms, maybe?
 
You all come up with that plan to make them, I'll support it! I've always had a soft spot for the Constructicons (given that Devastator is among the peak nostalgia for the G1 part of my childhood).
 
All,

I'm going to fall back on this old chestnut, but my post will be further delayed. At least, delayed if I want to give the post the effort and quality it requires - I refuse to halfass the post. I'm about to go traveling for work for the next two weeks (this is thankfully only a once a year thing, but it got bumped up unexpectedly). Worst case scenario, you won't see my update till the end of the month - the good news is after this is over, full steam ahead.

To tide you over, here's a preview of an art piece I've been waiting on for some time now.

...Trying to figure out which robot this is; I might be prematurely removing the actual depicted robot from consideration through my assumption that this is one of ours, though.

Don't think it's Perseus; you've already got a picture of that one, and this doesn't look like him at all (it's so different, in fact, that I can't even bring myself to believe this is his combined form). Definitely not Beowulf; he's red. Not the Thunderbolt; you've got a picture of that, too, and this doesn't even remotely resemble it. Doubt it's one of the Argonauts; they honestly aren't important enough to warrant a picture until we give them a combined form. Ichiro is a literal tank, and thus has a very distinctive profile this doesn't match.

...okay, by process of elimination I'm gonna have to assume this isn't one of ours, and thus admit I have no idea who this could be. Well, unless it's Axiom; this guy's got enough wheels around that picture I could believe it being Axiom.

...That's the Timberwolf formation, it's picture is in the first thread.

I present the completed Timberwolf art, also by Daniel Khanna. This is the Timberwolf as it was during its combat against Bandit (hence it still retaining the old desert color schemes).

Thanks. I guess it's been too long since I've read the first thread; too bad I'm too busy to go back for another reread.
 
I had a random thought about our Super Robots and the Sergey Gorshkov. how feasible would it be to assign a Super Robot Team to it permentantely?

I ask because during the recent op when the Sergey carried the Thunderbolt and the Argonauts to their mission. There was probably enough room on it that we could have sent more than one Super Robot team on her. So instead of having to ask the Navy for Favors every time we need to borrow her, we can just assign a Super Robot Team to the carrier for them to use whenever they need the team. Or we could just leave things as is and the Navy can keep accumulating Favors with the DFRI to use as they see fit.

Mind you it's just an Idea and I would rather we keep the Super Robot Teams off of the Carrier since again it's a Space Carrier and it has different job requirements. Plus I don't think our Supers are Space rated yet.
