Welcome to the Build forum! before you post, here's some important guidelines for getting the most bang for your byte.

MIDS!

Mids Hero Designer is the gateway drug to numbers geekitude, and an extremely hand way to play around with slots and settings. It is the Gold
Standard for build advice.

• http://www.cohplanner.com
  
  
  
• Free
  
  
• For use here, please use the 'corruption resistant' format for exporting your datablock. This option appears in the 'export' window.
  
  
• to set Enhancement level, right-click it, then type the level.
  

• Post a 'bit' about your toon, not just a bare Mids export. Build is influenced by concept as much as anything
  
  
• Include any problems you are having. This can be simple as 'needs to hit harder', or as complicated as you wish
  
  
• Include your wants for the build. 'Higher Performance' is not a useful statement. 'I want to be able to hit harder, and stop burning END like
  it's water' will send me and my co-geeks into a flurry of comparing set bonusses and strategies.
  
  
• Include budget or level restrictions. An 'unlimited' price build for a level 50 is going to be completely different from a 10 mil budget build
  for a level 35.
  
  
• Don't be afraid to contribute! this is YOUR toon, after all!
  
  
  

The Training Room server was accessible briefly today, allowing people to enter the character creator. Lighthouse has confirmed that it is
okay to spread information about the new powersets, and post screenshots from the creator. Thusly...

Screenshots of
shield costume options from forum user Firethorn

Also, here's power lists for the two new sets. Original text typed up by forum user PlasmaStream. I've made some edits for accuracy, though I'm
not sure on Pain Domination; in particular I don't know the recharge times for most of the powers and can't confirm this since the training room is no
longer accessible as I post this.

Okay, here's Cyberman 8's build, from the Mids. I think I've got everything covered here. Obviously couldn't include the Veteran powers or the prestige stuff. (He actually has a Celerity: Stealth in one of the Prestige Sprints).
Going by memory, I know that I concentrated as much as I could in the early levels on building his defense, but that there were some odd side trips. (Mainly due to needing to take the health pool.)
In looking at this, I'm tempted on a respec to consider getting Laser Eyes rather than Focus Chi. What do you think?
Other than that - don't think he needs much changing for PVE. He's still a work-in-progress even at this late date. (Note the Franken-slotting where the Hecatomb slots have started to take over) and I still want to get his defense stacked even higher.
If you've got some advice for a "pure" PVP build. Lay it on me. What with Dual-builds coming, I can afford to sacrifice some concept on pure survival.

Someone's translating it and it sounds really good, and in a feel-good way. To quote:

The heart of the game is in the flow of Connections to Wonder and Feelings. You set up Connections to the town and to each of the other PCs before you start a
story. A connection has a Strength (a number from 1 to 5) and Contents (what kind of bond it is; Admiration, Affection, Rivalry, etc.), and connections go two
ways. One character's connection towards another has a Strength and Contents separate from the partner's connection back at them.

When was the last time an RPG depended on Wonder and Feelings? Edit: stupid Yuku.

Here is Eva in a test outfit (Cheerleader - it is appropos.)

It is likely that I will not be able to handle her current COH outfits. Which is okay, because the Halloween issue will have her dressing up another
way.

Bob, would you mind if I tried my hand at doing a non-canon outfit, inspired by her COH outfits and keeping with the Magical Girl genre?

(The cold weather contures are part of the cheerleader outfit, sorry I could not remove them short of dropping the image into PSP - and it is only a
sketch.)

Image updated see notes below

So, I just started reading this(years behind the curve, that's me. =P), but I figured I should finally get around to it. I mean, I have it on several
reliable sources that it's good, no?

Anyway, while reading this and discussing BGC in general with Spud(2032, 2040, Crash, and all the rest in this particular), I noticed something that made me
double take:

Quote: "Dis is shit," Roy spat. "I'm in da band because we's good,


dammit, we's good. We's good enough ta get rich doin' dis


shit, and we'd be goin' sum'ere and gettin' rich if she would


let us! Why? She coulda gone solo t'ree years ago! Dat agent


dumped us and almost made her an idol singer! But she came back


to da Reps! Why?"

MicroHue suggested me picking up Hero Planner a few days ago. So I did. It looks a lot like the one I had three years ago. But, then, as is now, I've not got much of a clue as to how to 'build' a hero properly. If anyone would take it upon themselves to aid me in this, I would be most appreciative.

Below is Mirage's current build and enh for level 22.

     "What part of 'No' don't you understand, Marsden?" Colonel Stephen Caldwell, USAF, commander of Space Station Benjamin Franklin, had already been working up a fine head of steam before I set foot in his office that morning. Apparently there was some sort of snit-fit going on in Washington over the latest exploits of the Stingray crew and Caldwell was catching flack over it. Which made my request, respectfully though it may have been made, just one more straw piled on that there camel's back.
     "The part where you tell me I can't have what I've offered half again the market price for, I think it was," I snarked back. Bad idea.
     "The market price of fucking scrap metal, sure!" he roared, waving a hand to indicate the station around us. "You've got plenty of scrap aluminum and iron, Marsden, what the hell do you want with a bunch of F-14's?"
     I politely refrained from pointing out that I was actually offering about five times the price of scrap metal. It was more like half again what it would cost the Navy to preserve the birds in question. Instead, I tried what I was actually doing. "It's all about the 'wave, Steve. These birds remember being fighters. Doing turns and burns, watching the skies, having fire in their bellies. New frames, even if I could get -117's, just wouldn't have that. And with what's going on out here I don't want to be standing around holding my ass when the Black Hats come for me."
     His face was getting red at that. If I'd been worried Mount Caldwell was about to erupt before, I was already backing away, now. "Why don't you make like your buddies and build a bunch of X-Wings or something, then?" he demanded.
     The US military's never liked the idea that there were random lunatics like us running around with more firepower than a tank platoon. On the other hand, it did bring us to the meat of my problem. "For what I want to do? Colonel, the F-14 Tomcat is the best goddamn plane on the planet." And now we segue into the old AirForce/Navy rivalry, I thought, getting ready to make my real pitch. He'd always had a soft spot for the show I was thinking about, and once I got to the right point in his rant...
     "... and for that matter, why don't you use a proper Air Force frame for it? The F-15's the best fighter ever built."
     "Yes, and they're still in active service. Washington would kill me if I walked off with any. The Tomcats, on the other hand, are bleaching in the Boneyard. Who would you rather take them, me, or Iranians looking for spare parts for the few that they have left?" Iranians being rather high on the President's shit-list at the moment, that ought to weigh a little in my favor.
     "So just what are you making that you need F-14's for the frame, anyway?"
     He was almost calm now. Damn. "This," I said, and a wave of my hand over my PDA swept a pair of files into his workstation's secure inbox. I waited the requisite few seconds while his anti-virus scanner decided if they were safe to open, and then watched his face as he looked them over. "In my opinion, the VF-1S is the, period, single best spaceborne fighter craft ever designed. And the coolest, which when we're talking Goop counts for a hell of a lot. Rei did most of the work on the design -- she's our expert on humanoid robotic systems -- but we need the basic frame to be something that knows what it's meant to be."
     "Hrm," he mused, rubbing his chin as he looked over the plans. "It's a good design, alright. What do you think we'd get if we tried it with a -15, though?"
     "We're not sure right now, but I'm thinking VA-6 Alpha. Decent interceptor, good ground-support airframe... make a heck of a convoy escort. If we could get Eagle airframes. Or if you wanted to do the hack yourselves."
     He shook his head at that. The official Washington attitude towards Handwavium was still rather... untrusting. That was what the TSAB was all about, after all, and a reason why I'd backed them so heavily getting started up here. "Maybe, maybe," he finally said. "In the meantime..." He paused for a moment, then I heard a 'ping' as a file settled into my PDA's inbox. "Be discreet."
     Which is how I, at least one Rei, and a couple of dozen Rockhounds with flight experience wound up hovering Sleipner over Tuscon, AZ, at oh-dark-hundred one fine February morning. When all Hell broke loose.
--
Sucrose Octanitrate.
Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

Okay. I've just launched Blaze Sabre, a Fire/Fire Blaster. I'd like to make her my first actual Blapper. I've played Blasters before, and have a
decent idea of how to make them work; I've played Scrappers, which seems to me like putting the game on easy mode almost. How best to combine the two?

So here's a chance! I'm not looking for full builds, but general advice. If you -want- to do a full build, feel free, but bear in mind she just hit
level 6... so it'll be a while. *grin*
