"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*

Ever since we figured it out for Statesman's Task Force a couple weeks ago, I've been trying it everywhere, and it seems to be working. AVs, EBs, you
name it.

The trick is simple: break LOS immediately!

You need a sniper attack of some sort, ideally (I haven't tested it with others). Aimed Shot (Archery Blaster), Proton Volley (Rad Defender), and Moonbeam
(Dark Defender) all work equally well, so I presume it'll work with any sniper attack.

Then, find yourself a shady spot where you have something to duck behind. It has to break LOS completely, so a tree won't work but a building will -- or if
you're at the top of a hill, moving back will work too (for example, at the AV pit in Stateman's TF).

Line up your shot... pull the trigger... and as soon as the attack actually launches, get your butt outta there! Break line of sight! Don't wait to see if
the attack hits, don't wait to see if the Big Bad is moving your way, just MOVE. You can spin around and see what your targeting box is doing -later-;
right now you need to get the hell outta there before his buddies spot you.

This is the Zen of the Single Pull, young grasshopper. Use it wisely.

((ok I hope i get this right..my first time doin anything with Mids))

((Note:Some enhancments..namely the pounding slugfests are lower than shown..but I wasn't sure how to muck with them, but that shouldn't make much
difference since I was mainly goin for the 2 set bonus Also I don't get how it shows the regen/recovery numbers so my regen is 1.67% HP/sec and my
Recovery is 3.38% end/sec so 41.54 HP/Sec and 3.78 End/Sec respectivly))

Well, after spending about 60mil today on enhancements, this is what I've got right now. This is the first character I've really tried enhancing with,
so there'll probably be some weird stuff in there. I'm looking for any sort of suggestions, advice, whatever you think would make her a better
character and teach me some ideas on what to do and what to avoid.

- TZotSP does not, however, make the final battle that much easier when all three AVs call in their goons.

- Burkholder's a pushover no matter what faction he's in.

- MLTF is, pound for pound, more difficult than ITF

- MLTF deserves actual recipe drops.

All in all, an awesome TF with a great team(props to Mag for being patient with us through *two* total resets), and now Inyme is level 35. The RWZ and Cimerora
await!

I was reading the sports page on the wiki when I started thinking about the end of the Boskone war and what happened when WW2 ended. Specifically I was
thinking about what happened in my home town on VE day. While it wasn't the only reason, the authorities in Halifax managed to spark a riot by ordering
the bars closed, ostensibly to prevent a drunken riot. I figure the fen would handle things a little differently, but in the end there are going to be some
(friendly) tensions between the Pirates, Ninja and the OGJ space marines, at the very least. Thus I got the idea for the annual Port Phobos Invitational.

The Port Phobos Invitational is an annual 'sporting' event that started during one of the victory celebrations at the end of the Boskone war. A large
group of OGJ soldiers from almost every faction were celebrating in Mars orbit when someone, no one remembers, or admits to who, started a brawl.

It eventually degenerated into a two day long battle involving 'waved nerf guns, foam swords and every non-leathal weapon in the Fen's arsenal. When
it was all over the participants said, 'that was fun, let's do it again! ...Once the bruises heal.'

Little has changed since that first day. The Port Phobos Invitational is a multi-day war of shifting, treacherous alliances fought to the last laugh with the
silliest weapons in known space, where the last crew, or person (you expect Pirates not to back stab you when it's all in the name of fun?) standing wins.
With the exception of the personal quarters of those not involved and critical areas of the station there are no bounds, and no time outs.

Whoooo. Glazius Falconar just savaged chapter six on the FFML. I'm still kind of stunned by it, so it's going
to be a little while before I reply, if I reply at all.
