Our plans are pretty similar. Want to combine them? Your plan is missing my Jackal squadron but other than that they are pretty much the same.

It does leave us a bit tight on research, I will admit. But it's a possibility. I don't think there's a need to stack up though unless something else takes the lead.

I would rather be over prepared than find ourselves lacking. and I agree with you about the K-Scale choice. leave it out.

That's why we must start the child sold-I mean pilots program! We can totally spin that it's done for the greater good!
Oh noes, we'll lose the points we spend here, I bet. Chances are we no longer will be able to spend every RP in every turn and instead have some in reserve.
Darn, these not-Decepticons don't sleep.
We'll need that. Hopefully it comes with physics-warping seats that allow us to have Christian symbolism somehow.
How can we tell who are the baddies though? This is an internal conflict we'll stumble upon. I bet they'll have red lights and color paint.
You mean "when".
Not sure how much damage the average weapon does, but the Jackal seems sturdy. IT also means that Cal can reroll one attack or dodge roll per turn, right?
Ramming always works.
Does the disadvantage last during the transformation, or is it permanent (akin to armor then)? Will the enemy be polite enough to not to attack us mid-transformation?
Ooh, the mystery option!
Quite fitting.

I am ruling that you can only take one of each.
Now if you really want to buy all the options you can. But Turn Eleven is going to be not so productive.

Damn it, having only 1 combat-worthy(?) Pilot become our bottleneck, huh.
We're still in the Prologue Arc, so it's understandable, but...
Idea:
Try "recording" brain wave patterns done by Callaghan during combat, scrub the data until the generic signals remain, and use that for making better MMI command shortcuts so the rest of the Pilot Candidates can catch up easier.
Yes. Just like what Amuro and Kira did.

That, or having a working brain-computer should Callaghan die tragically. Of course, we would have to restrain ourselves from making more of these machines until the proper pilots die due "natural causes", not because we were being greedy.

That reminds me of the Amakusa from Crossbone Gundam, which is a mecha equipped with an AI that was supposedly patterned after the White Devil's combat data.
But seriously, we should probably look into recording as much combat data for the current fight, and the future ones.
Hopefully, we got blackboxes and shit.

In my case I was poking fun at Front Mission 1, which had an important plot-point about using brain computers from former pilots and triggering a world war for SCIENCE!. That unfortunately long forgotten series is definitively about Real Robots.
I think that will be a future research project. Right now our current unit is a barely-working prototype, so any recorded footage will likely be from other support units such as the TMUs.
Speaking of: Wasn't their "heavy mode" named "Long-shoot" first? When did it change to "Viking mode"?

Longship, actually.
That aside, I can see us picking up a plucky youth from this adventure here! We're in the prequel OAV right now, so this can very much be the backstory of the actual Protagonist we're going through right now!
(Callagan being the cool big brother sort who may or may not be doomed by plot)
(Seriously though, I'm still hoping for Mystery Waif as our main pilot this time instead of the convienent power battery, because cold-and-collected boy and hot-blooded boy are used all the time as the primary, I like my plot twists!)

You know, you are right. I was still thinking Viking and not Longship. Oops. I will fix that after the vote (calling it this afternoon).
Also, I am still salty we never got Front Mission 5.
Use both a hot-blooded girl and calm-and-cool boy, and the biggest of twists: they are not romantically interested in each other.

Better be Kai "Martial Arts, with Manual Controls" Kitamura instead of Ingram "TIME DIVER" Plisken, I say.
Also, this battle will be remembered for the rest of the story as "the time we took out the Mark Zero for a run".

Good question also.
As an Aviation pilot background, you would have had the player's old wing assigned to DFRI and likely have started with a discount on an Aerodrome complex. You also would have a background feat where you had an early encounter with the Kausen. Sasaki also would not have been an option as adviser.
Field Artillery would have been interesting. Conventional weapons would have been fairly robust, and Sam would have had different options to complement that. But you would have had background options that gave you insight into improving weapons against certain enemies (like facing a Kaiju down with a forward observation team, and seeing just how little entire batteries DID).
