Mobile Offense Processor Questions

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 21:16:26 GMT

Can multiple Mobile Offense Processors be connected to the same thrusters and weapon in order to grant multiple moves?

For reference, the following (poorly shopped) Frame:

A MED // NERVE with:

Light Reactor
Stun Needle
Ultra Thruster
4x MO

Each MO is connected to thrusters of a larger size than the frame and also connected to a weapon. Would this frame be able to use each MO to move 1 zone each turn without taking an action?

Questions about Armor and Weight Class

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 05:28:17 GMT

I looked through the 1.01 Terrestrial edition and I can't for the life of me figure out how a custom frame's weight is defined. Is it by a maximum number of columns/rows in its grid, or by its total HP? How small is too small for an Ultra? How much HP can a Light mech have before it stops being Light? Etc.

I also don't know how players place armor on a custom frame. At the moment, the only way I can figure out how to get armored squares is to take the Bandit prebuilt or a Heavy/Ultra frame. I assume it's tied to HP total, but are there limits on where and what shape the armor can be? Do armored cells have to be orthogonally adjacent? How many do I get, and when do I get reinforced versus normal? Is it tied to frame weight, and if so, see above because how do I define my custom frame's weight to begin with?

Thanks for putting Celestial Bodies out there. I'm excited to see where it goes!

Rules clarification questions

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 07:26:40 GMT

Very excited for this game, already sharing it with interested servers. A couple questions!

On page 53 it says that shields protect all squares orthogonally adjacent, while p66 says all adjacent squares. Unless otherwise specified, does "adjacent" in this book mean "orthogonally adjacent?"

H ow does splash damage from weapons like the grenade launcher and flak cannon affect mech HP? Is that also subtracted, or does that damage only serve to damage parts?

Does shifting hit locations have to be applied in straight lines? For example, if I have +2 accuracy, could a hit location of 34 be changed to a 45?

Congrats to the authors, I'm happy the game turned out so well!

Celestial Bodies First Impressions

Hey everyone! I did a flip through stream of my first impressions of the game and it is GREAT! I'll leave the video here for anyone that wants to learn more about the game:

Reactor Quantity

I couldn't find anything in the book that says so, but I assume you can only have one reactor per frame? Otherwise clusters of smaller reactors seems preferable to the larger ones.

Accuracy and damage to weapon linked questions

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 13:44:53 GMT

On pg 24, the rules talk about accuracy vs evasion. It mentions that, with a roll of 36, having +1 accuracy isn't enough to hit the target, because 26, 36, and 46 all don't hit. However! The frame's gun is at 35.

Does this mean that either a) +1 accuracy can't move up or down, or b) that weapons aren't damaged like internals and systems of a mech?

For reference, it looks like the frame takes up 11 through 35, since it's the LN-VIGIL

Attribute replenishment

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 15:33:45 GMT

So I know you get 10 attribute points at character creation, but I'm not seeing anywhere that says they get replenished.

Is this something that comes back eventually, or is it over a pilot's lifetime, or just for a scene or mission?

Is it something that can be generated and not just spent?

I'm not sure if this was your intention, but I am getting some serious Darling in the Franxx vibes from this:

I would love to hear from others what they think!
