I’m going to be taking a quick break from RPing, to allocate my time a bit better, and yes I am planning on coming back.

So yeah… Didn’t had much of an interest into rping in the weekend.
Sorry.
Can somebody fill in with what happened? Is Nemesis still attacking? Did Bludgeon make the first move?
Nova killed Corona before running off to find a ground bridge, and Bludgeon’s fleet is bombarding the spaceport island from the sky.
Oh hey! A notification from Chrome! He already responded to my…
Oh…
…my…
Hold up: I thought we agreed that Gatecrasher didn’t have any bombs, after we decided that one PC shouldn’t have the ability to annihilate a neighborhood.
I thought those were the air-to ground missiles. He kept the bombs, but couldn’t replenish them, I thought.
And to be honest, that’s about what it’s gonna take to get Nova to the point where we can take him out.
Not to sound rude but the average Cybertronian has the ability to destroy an Earth neighborhood just by trampling the buildings.
These robots are titans in comparison to earthlings.

If memory serves, that was the in-universe explanation as to why he lost them, I believe; he used them all on that big Godzilla-esque sea creature.
Nova’s gonna be a tough boss, yes. But you won’t need overpowered characters to beat him.
Trust me; as an avid Transformers fan, I haven’t forgotten that. But a level of balance is still required in any roleplaying game. I haven’t allowed any of the other PCs to have that kind of firepower, and respectfully, I’m not going to make an exception for Gatecrasher.

No, he just dropped 1 of his 2000 pounders.
My mistake, then. Regardless, Gatecrasher is formidable enough with a tank alt-mode, a laser gun, a rocket drone, an energy shield, a supply of sidewinders, and a rotary cannon. The bombs are overpowered, and frankly overkill with everything else he has.
Which is kinda why I never intended to refill after I used them all in one big blow, and Nova seemed like a perfect target, giving the situation.
And he doesn’t have a supply of Sidewinders, they were used up with the rest of his explosives.
Alright; I’ll give you this. Afterward, though, I won’t be so willing to compromise. There’s more to playing a good character beyond making a literal tank that can steamroll anything that gets thrown at them.
After this, no more bombs, alright?
Sure thing boss!
I never intended to get anymore.
To be honest, that’s kinda why I created Juliana, a character that’s not much of a fighter.
Tanks are always kinda OP. There’s a reason that they are the ultimate land combat vehicle, and the A10 has the most powerful payload for it’s size.
Right, and I don’t mind y’all taking advantage of your characters’ various strengths and skills- I like to think I try to encourage it, actually (if I’m not, please let me know). But the game does need some semblance of balance, unfortunately, to keep things from getting too crazy. So, while I recognize that the A10 can pack some heat, I’d prefer Gatecrasher to not have all of that, just to keep things fair. Like I said earlier, what he has already is good enough.
…Y’know, it kinda does, actually. That’s more or less how I’ve always pictured it.
