Honestly, I'm kinda thinking of Sable as sharing some resemblance to Obsidian Fury, with a bit of Evangelion about his stomach and legs, plus the obvious Destroyer Talons replacing OF's chainsaws. Just... very sleek, very powerful, and very nasty looking. Kinda the heel to Tacit's face, if you want to use wrestling terms.

But that's just my vision of Sable. Again, this is kinda stuff for Extras.

Obsidian Fury's design is nice but, like LDj said, a bit too sleek to fit. Honestly, everything below the waist makes me think he made an habit of skipping leg day. :V
Amd the Evangelions are little better in that regard, I'm afraid. Too thin unless they're fitted with something like the Type-F equipment. Which wouldn't be too bad a design if you up-armor the lower legs a bit, now that I think about it.

I just have this image of Phenom that's somewhat... Tank-like, I guess. Something substantial, less elegant curves like an F-35 and more straight lines and hard angles. He's a brawler, he's a grappler, everything in his build is about getting in close and just grappling the shit out of the enemy. Nothing like Jagdhund's swift swordplay or Tacit's quick movements.

If you wanted to go sleek with Phenom... Maybe something like Zeus from Real Steel? Except without the tiny chicken legs.
 
What's up y'all my fingers slipped



Design influence was Atlas from Warframe, plus shades of Gipsy Danger and Dark Souls (I started thinking of Tarkus midway through the initial drafting for whatever reason)

Okay, so a couple of thoughts regarding the research results.

First, torpedoes. Make an air-dropped variant? This came tied to a idea on modular weapon pods. Omnifighters son! Now seriously, the idea would be to allow our craft to switch some (external) weapons on the fly.

Breach, did I see electromagnetic somewhere? Could we make on the far future a maglev breach train?

.. apparently, also guys? Do not nitpick the free decent art provided to us by the Turian Councilor.

Pointing out flaws or parts that you think could be done better is fine, no artist has ever improved by not being criticized, even if the only critic was himself.

I myself liked the design since it captured most of what I imagine in Phenom, but as Jawa pointed out the overall design draws too much from Gypsy Danger, which doesn't quite fit because every Jaeger is supposed to have an unique look and feel.

The helmet-like visor is also fine, but a bit lacking in detailing. Norably, the Destroyer Talons look nothing like what I envisioned, which was closer to Gundam Banshee's clawed gauntlet crossed with SRW's Raftclanz's shields that turn into claws.

But none of that means the design is bad. I'd rate an 8/10, needs more detailing, and considering this is a sketch that's to be expected.
 
I like it. It's not really Sable, but it's sure good.

Speaking of Sable, have we got a majority vote for Tactical Overview?

Judging by a visual count:

For stats, we're currently split 4-3-1, N-H-J, respectively. Given that my stat spread is a slightly modified version of Highwind's, though, that's essentially 7 votes for something looking like Highwind's spread.

For equipment, pretty much everyone is voting for the Conpod Armor, and only three people are voting for the Faraday Frame. Which is a shame, because I really don't see any good reason to not install it now. If it's operating on similar principles to a Faraday Cage, then there's no real reason to not use it, even if we wanted to give PS a body-wide electrification attack later.

Yoooooooo. This is great. I like the idea of taking design inspiration from Atlas, but I'm kinda sad it lost the helmet design I had.

Gonna echo the statement that he's a little too Gypsy Danger at the moment but all in all this is pretty freaking awesome.

Raftclanz's shield claws has a terrible design, tbh. Far, far too long and spindly. The destroyer talons were basically pure gundam banshee, iirc.
 
I'm gonna lock in the Conpod armour and the Nixeu stats, if that's fine with you guys. Faraday frame can be installed later at your discretion. That sound cool?

I suppose. I'm guessing it's not one of those 'limited number of installations, unless built into the Jaeger from the beginning' things? If it was, and installing it later means we can equip PS with fewer things, I am slightly less okay with it.

No, it's an Augment, not a Modification.
We got it before Fyr introduced Mods as a thing. :p

It's an augment. You can have a number of Augments up to your Mark level (2 augs in Phenom's case), but you can switch them out during downtimes and stuff. It's not permanent.

Okay, cool. Though I guess that does mean our Mark 0's would need a different anti-EMP item. Slightly annoying, but we can always just trick them out with mods while constructing them.

Next up is gonna be pilots, and I do have a bit of a mechanical thing to add here.

Actually, wait. Wait.

I completely forgot about this, but we can't lock this in. There's too many stat points.

Phenom starts with 12 stat points, due to being a Mark II, and this Loadout has 15 points. Sorry everyone, we're gonna have to do some adjustment.
