Zero-G

Aug 02, 2011 00:08

Piloting in Zero-G is nothing like piloting on the ground. My assisstant [He gestures to Nameless NPC#82] has assembled some training material and useful information on the subject. If you have never fought in space, I would suggest you take this time to review it and get some training in.

Guess this would be a good time to test my unit's performance in space.

Better now than in the middle of a fight.

Who would be dumb enough to do that in the middle of a fight anyways?

I've known a few people who don't think things through.

I've been wanting to speak to someone about space combat, Commander Jin.

Yes, you have rather...unique circumstances, don't you?

We do. I've been wanting to see to what extent our magic can protect us from the lack of gravity, as well as the lack of heat or air.

But, as for more conventional solutions, I'm at a loss for what would be possible. Standard space suits certainly won't work with the Strikers.

Couldn't you just chop the legs off a spacesuit and then weld or glue the strikers to it? I guess propellers wouldn't provide thrust without air, though.

Commander. Do you have any personal advice regarding space combat?

[Salutes, albeit hesitantly. Less that it was he was intimidated by the man but more by being "out there"]

It's not my area of expertise. Even when I was a pilot, almost all of my experience was in a gravity well.

If almost all of it was in a gravity well...then it would benefit me to ask of what you know sir.

You would know the...change of situation that those of us who have only fought on Earth would experience.

Fine. My PERSONAL advice is to read the training material than get out there and try it.

If anyone needs specific training, direct them to me. I'm actually more accustomed to space than gravity, given where I served.

I sure wasn't planning on training them myself.

You do strike me as more of a land warfare person.

I suppose now that I have something I can pilot I can demonstrate properly...guess I'll organize another class.

Good idea.

Hmm. I should probably take a look at those at some point.

You'll do it if you know what's good for you.

It can't be too difficult. I've been doing very good so far.

Fighting in zero-g is very different. You'll get yourself and others killed if you treat it like fighting on the ground.
